Somerset Fruit and TTuck.-From the
present outlook this year will be a
prosperous one for Somerset county
farmers. The strawberry crop is very
encouraging, and if the cool weather
continues berries will command good
price. Various opinions have been
expressed by growers regarding the
peach crop, but from the present out
look the crop will be fair one. The
vegetables, potatoes, tomatoes, &C.,
are all in hOurishing condition. The
wheat cropis as ine as could be desired.

Brooks, colOred, an employs on one of
ex-COmptrOller Turner's farms, Mon
day tried to handle one Of Mr.. Turner's
thoroughbred colts. The other end OF
the rope, which was around the colts
neck, got fastened around one OF
Brooks feet, and when the colt got the
mastery, Brooks was thrown down ana
dragged feet fOrmOst thraugh the barn
yard, the gate to which was open.
The colt got through, but Brooks foot,
which is abnOrmally large, struck
against gate post, aud the rope was
broken. He was picked up more dead
than alive, and taken to Easton to
physician, who found him seriously,
but not necessarily fatally injured
Ivvtown. a settlement of cOlOred

citement. There is a graveyard close
bv the roadside, where the IvytOwn
people bury their dead. Recently a
woman died aud was buried there. A
few mornings later the coffin and the
corpse were found out Of the grave and
ON the roadside. The lid of the coffin
was broken in by an axe, and the body
removed and left by the side of the
road. It was put back in the coffin
and reburied. The theory of the folk
ia that vicinity is that resurrection
lists" are operating for some especial
school or the general corpse market,
and that in this instance they were
disturbed before they got the prey
properly bagged.

FOUGHT THE FAMOUS CHIEF.
Gen. Jones. or lows, Ser ks a Pension
IN Congress as far Back as as.

Gen. Jones. OF Iowa, Ser ks a Pension
In Congress as far Back as as.
Two weeks ago Gen. George W. Jones,
says the Davenport Leader, left home
for Washington. with the avowed pur,
pose of obtaining a pension from congress
for his military services if it were possi-
bic. He has had good luck. After he
had been in Washington few days Sen.
ator Turple. of Indiana, introduced bill,
granting him pension of $50 per month
The rules were sustained, tae bill put
upon its passage, and went through the
senate with a unanimous vote. Itwas
sent over to the house, and whether re-
Ierred to a committee or not we cannot
say, but at any rate it was called up on
Monday and was passed in that BODY also
by an unanimous vote. 1t now goes TO
the president, who, of course, will sign
it, and thus it will become law.
Gen. Jones bases his claim for a PEN
sion upon two facts. The first is that he
was drummer boy in the war of 1919.
At the time he was a lad living in St.
Genevieve. Mo. Toward the close of the
war in 1874, Capt. Linn. a brother of DR..
}. B. Linn afterwards United States sena>
tor from Missouri, was commissioned to
recruit company of soldiers, an! young
Jones was the drummer boy who marched
around the streets in that service. In
1881 Gen. Jones. then living at Sinsina>
wa, was appointed on the staff OF Gen.
Henry Dodge and with him served in the
Black HaSkwar. 1t may be the pension
is granted for either of these services,
possibly for both
While his military record is more than
sufficient to entitle him to the pens ion,
yet there is little doubt the main reason
for its going through congress as it did is
owing to the fact of his bel an ex SEN
ator and for many years member of the
upper body. Gen. Jones is now one OF
the Oldest living ex-senators. He en-
tered that body in 1s47 and 1s4S. and
continued to be member until 1859.
There are now but Two men living who
were members when he entered. Alpheus
Fitch, Of Michigan, and James W. Brad
bury of Maine. Mr.. Fitch bad been in a
few months when Gen. Jones entered,
and Mr.. Bradbury entered about the
same time. Gen Jones at the time was
43 years Of age. and is now SO, as active
and sprightly as most men at 40 or so.
He is remarkably well preserved both in
mind and body.

The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1892-06-02

THERE Is, perhaps, no kindlier beam
of promise for the American people
than in the spontaniety with which
they assemble to do honor to their
heroic dead, to keep the Nations Me-
mortal day. There is warm poetic
side in every human heart, and there is
something in the gathering of the
beautiful flowers and placing them
reverently on the lowly mounds, in the
cities of the dead, that appeals to the
best and the truest feelings of our
nature.
A deeper sentiment than leads to the
pomp of parade, or the fantastic dem
Onstrations OF a Fourth of July cele-
bration, is moving masses in their
touching observances over the graves
of the dead. 1t is not that they would
perpetuate the strife and renew the
sorrows of day that is dead. In the
paugs of the conflict these had their
full fruition. 1t Is to the benificence of
blessings secured before which the
oblations of grateful hearts 60 out. In
the fulflllment Of their votive offerings
they pledge anew their desire to hold
in perpetual remembrance the glory of
those who fought so bravely and so
we'll for their altras and their homes.
The dead sleep well. They can not
arise to witness the ceremonies enacted
above their tombs. They cannot re-
turn from the rice swamps and the
prison burrows; from the rocky hill
sides where their bones are bleaching,
or from the black and yawning waters
of the ship tossed ocean. No tear can
stir their profound and awful slumber
and no odor of the lily make their rest
more deep and sweet.
1t is in its Denefcient effect upon the
living that we must find the touching
significances of Memorial Day and its
revered customs. And where ever OBJ
served we find higher regard for valor
and its sacrifices; deeper spirit of fra
ternity and charity and loyalty; kind
lier interest in the living patriot and
holier care for the honor and fame Of
the noble dead.
With the immortality of the highest
and purest love, let our Memorial Day
be inseparably linked, so long as the
great Republic exists among the pow
ers of the earth.
