Mr.. Smiths War Experience.
IRoNToN. March "a. 1873

IRoNToN, March "a, 1888.
! As I have been requested, will state my
experience on September 26th and 9th, 1864
On the Goth, while 1 was sitting at the din
ner table with my family, T. p. Russell, a
brother, came riding fast past the house and
said the rebel army was coming across ouI
orchard back of the house! / hurried on
| my coat, caught my gun and saddle, and
| ran for our barn. When half way, heard
them yell, "Halt!' but 1 ran the faster,
their bullets whizzing all around me, but
none of them hit me. When 1 reached the
barn they were very peac me. had large
pile of un,hreshed beans on the floor. As
soon as thought | was under the floor, with
gun and saddle; but none to soon, as could
hear them with my hay forks trying to find
me in the beans; but l was not there. So
their next object was to steal what they
could. Some went for the horses, some for
the wet clothes On the line to dry. [ had
about twenty Union soldiers horses in the
pasture, and two Of my own. They stole the
lot, after long race, as mine were bound to
stay at home. As soon as they could the
Union soldiers came from town and drove
them back. Ali this time my family did not
know whet her l was alive or dead. After a
long time, / heard my wife's voice calling
me to come out, as they were ALL gone.
General Ewing had given orders if the rebel
army should come to Arcadia Valley, that
the citizens must 60 to the fort to help the
soldiers fight; so / went to the fort that
evening. On the 9th the battle came off,
victorious to the Union army. l was detail
ed with othe.s, after the battle, to go oyer
the battle field and gather up arms. 1t was
horrible sight to see so many dead, and
dying, and wounded. / was at the fort two
nights and one day. After left home, Col.
Wilson, then in command, came and ordered
my family to leave our house aud go to Mrs.
Guilds, at the foot of the hill, as he thought
there would be battle 90 the hill, and they
would want our house for hospital. While
they were away the house was ransacked
from cellar to gar Ell, and robbed of great
many valuable things. I remained with
other citizens until Gen. Rice's staff came up
in the morning after the battle. Then we
raised the white flag. We told them we did
not belong to the army, that we were citi-
zens of the Valley. They said call right"
we could go to our homes, which we were
glad to do. We met the army all the way,
and were stopped several times on the way,
but when we told them we had orders from
Gen. Rice's staff to go to our homes they let
us pass on. 1 found they had stolen my old
commission that held when / was captain
OF company in Connecticut, and, as they
did not know the difference, they thought 1
was captain in the Union army, and wanted
to see "Capt. John Smith" very much, but
they did not see him. JOHN SMITH.

From BelIeVlew.

Ed. Register-The late equinoXial storm
and large amount of rain fall have put Q very
long face on the farmers, as they are getting
behind and are going to be very late at the
best. If there are many oats sowed they
must be sowed in April this year. Last year
the oats were nearly all in the ground by
the LIST of April: but the cold wet spring
this year accounts for it.
Our roads are still. in a terribly bad oondi-
ton. do honestly believe that we have the
worst roads in the country, and l think II
about time the people of this section fall on
some plan to get them improved some, at
least. There are about four or five months
out of the year that the people cannot 60
anywhere with wagon and it is dangerous
to be riding horse. Why! I am sure that
Bellevlew has more horseshoes planted
than seven states, while it Is nothing new to
see person trying to lift his horse and
wagon out of some mud hole.
Y Roads has some new blacksmiths in the
persons of Messrs. A. Mcfarland and w. L.
Mathews. Mr.. NJ. is occupying his own
shop, where Mr.. Renham used to hold fort,
while Mr.. F. is located with Mr.. Warren.
That is right; opposition is the life of trade,
so wish them success.
Harvey Palmer has gone to Illinois to ac-
cept position in the store that j. j. Carly
is cerking in.
Cedar Grove Alliance, No. 100, elected siK
delegates to represent them at the county
meeting. Elm Grove elected four.

E. Breckenrldge is the champion, having
made Beleview's best tremble. Three
cheers for Mr., B.
VIM. Russell made flying trip to St.Louis
this week and purchased a corn planter of
the latest improved pattern.
Some of the students are quitting on ae-
COUNT of the spring work and intend to make
q crop during the summer season; but still
the Professor has good number and we
wish him success in the latter part of the
term, as the school has done extra well for
the first year and Mr.. Scott deserves much
praise. DEMOCRAT.

Obituary.

Died, at Sabula, No., March 10, 1888, JESSE
Y. TINDELL, aged 20 years and II days.
The subject of this sketch was stricken
last October with malarial fever and after a
long illness he apparently recovered. He
was then taken with what appeared to be
consumption in its last stage, but succeeded
in stopping that. He was then taken with
an affliction of his head, which could not be
controlled, and which terminated his young
life.
Those kind friends at Sabula who minis
tered to his last wants so faithfully will ever
have the heartfelt thanks of the bereayed
parents.

session. Nevertheless, the court honestly
considered his plan and estimates, as well as
Miller's plans and estimates, and, think,
honestly came to the conclusion that Miller's
was cheapest and best, and awarded Miller
the job. Now, Mr.. Editor, 1 was charge de
affairs in this matter, and the foregoing is
my recollection of what happened.

There is an organization established at
Pilot Knob which, no doubt, will be followed
in Ironton and the county in general. 1t is
named the Saloon-Keepers Mercantile Agen-
CIV. The object of the new order is to furn-
ish to each member the names of monthly
customers at the bar that at the regular pay
day do not, as an American citizen should,
come up and pay his swill bill. hear one

The largest blast that has been made at
Pilot Knob mine for several years occurred

causing loss of three-fourths of day.

A Card.

Ed. Register-We have just noticed the
article in your paper of week or so ago,
where G. w. Buford takes the liberty of
saying that the lady who sent the notice of
our daughters marriage was an unwelcome
guest. We suppose the writer did not know
of whom he was speaking, as the lady was
one of the most honored guests and the first
one to know of the marriage.

Ed. Regtster-I would like to correct a
mistake. You say we did not comply with
the specifications IN regard to the building
OF the house on the poor farm. They did
not have any specifications; or if they did
they did not dare show them to us for fear
Arcadia would get left. We figured exactly
as the Judges told us they wanted rs to, and
II anybody can get any one of the Judges to
say different, he can get him to tell DELHI
crate falsehood. BALDWIN BROS.

officer whose services are recognized by both

other suggestion, that the two retiring
councilmen be also unanimously reelected,
and that some good Democrat be substitute
ed for Jas. III. Clark, who is now absent in
California, thus carrying out in good faith
the unwritten understanding, long since
made, that the council should remain
equally divided politically. The retiring
members whose names suggest for cleo
ton are VIM. T. Gay and T. r. Goulding.
There is also another faithful officer who
should not be forgotten, and whose services
should be rewarded by reelection, i. e.,
Paul Patton, City Marshal, thus continuing
the old officials another term. G.

agreeable; and by so doing they will make
fifty dollars clear according to their estimate.

readily recall many instances. Very
small are Ir Pierce's Pleasant Purga-
