A Relic OF President Lincoln.


In looking over the files of papers in his office
last Tuesday, for the purpose of tracing up the
title to a tract of land, Circuit Clerk Rogers
came across cross bill fled by Abraham Lin
coin, as attorney for Solomon f. Lewis admin
istrator of the estate of Samuel z. Hunt de-
ceased. The bill is in Mr.. Lincoln's hand
writing, and was filed at the March term of
the Dewitt County Circuit Court on March IL,
1859. Judge Davis presided and Bob Lewis
was tho Circuit Clerk. This is probably ono
among the last cases in which Mr.. Lincoln
appeared as attorney in this County. Judge
Weldon was the attorney for the other side Of
the case. All of the principal actors in court
with the exception Of Judge Weldon, have since
answered at the higher court. The land in
question comprised over 600 acres, and at. that
time it was estimated to be worth about Sc, 000
To-day the same land is selling at not less than
$40 per acre. Samuel b. Hunt had bought tho
land from Henry II. Hall, on which he had paid
$1,000. On the Goth of January, 1859, after
the death of Hunt, the last note for $4,000 was
due and to recover this amount Hall began
suit i'll the Circuit Court. The cross-bill is o
valuable relic, but it is doubtful lift will escape
the relic hunters who occasionally visit Clin-
ton in search of some scrap of the handwriting
OF the Great Emancipator. Unlike most legal
papers, this one is plainly written in bold
hand, and every punctuation mark is in its
proper place. At the bottom of the bill is
signed Lincoln, the Complainant" What
volumes of history have been made in the 30
years since MH Lincoln appeared as an attor-
ney in this County.

made no mistake.

We hit it even to the variable She varied
from frost to such hot night that everybody

0ratory that Jim Bucks Found Impressive.
TgJ HH.f

Down In Southwest Missouri four or FIVE
years ago town had all arrangements made to
whoop er up on tho glorious Fourth. The citi-
zens had contributed in liberal spirit, the day
was fine, and the crowd large aud enthusiastic.
The orator of the day was a slim, cadaverous-
looking man from ST. Joe. To stand of and
look him over you'd have bet your last dollar
that an old gander could have run him all round
n i0.acro field. There were some lofty spirits
In town that day, aud ono OF them was Jim
Bucks. mixture OF patriotism, whisky, high
jump and rough and-tnubie. Jim sized the
orator up. determined 10 cave somo fun with
him. and took seat directly in front of him
as he stood on the platform to speak. The
orator hadn't spoken 100 words before Jim
interrupted him. lie did this twice moro, aud
was warned 10 20 allow. lie didn't go much on
dreams or warnings. however, aud watched for
another opportunity. Pretty soon the orator
said
"And so this little band OF Pilgrim Fathers
set out with stout hearts aud unwaycrlng faith
In search Of"
al In search of skunks," interrupted Jim.
The orator made o long jump, lighted down
on Jim Bucks. and inside of two minutes no
had him licked so thoroughly that Mrs, Bucks
would have passed. him by for a splatter Of
pumpkin jelly which had dropped from a
dinner basket. When satisfied that his work
WAS thoroughly done, the orator returned To
tho platform aud continued in the same calm
and unruned tones:
liberty Of speech aud freedom of con-
science, and they found them at Plymouth
Rock"
lie went on and delivered a really eloauent
speech, lasting nearly an hour and he was just
concluding when Jim Bucks crawled out from
under wagon half mile away. where he had
been laid, aud queried of those around him

Mrs. Mary PcrsOn, residing near Charleston,

recalls an unusual tragedy not noted at the
time, and almost forgotten since. AT the break.
ing out Of the war her husband was an ardent
Southerner. She favored the Union, as did
her children. Finally, the oldest son. Harvey,
joined the Union army. His angry father
swore he would kill the first Yankee soldier he
saw. In 1861 "A squad of 1S Union soldiers
stopped in front of his house. The Lieutenant,
not thinking Of danger, climbed upon the fence
aud sat down. Pierson shot him dead. In re.
venge the soldiers killed Piarson and three of
his children. The son Harvey was killed in
battle. The mother, with seven children, has
lived in poverty until now. She is 70 years
old,
