mate acquaintance with the people of
Crittenden than any other man living
to-day. He was born in this county
December %, 1852, and is son of
William and Susan Pickens, both
natives of the county. Mr.. Pickens
began life for himself as Il farmer at
The age of twenty, renting farm
until he was able to buy one of his
,wn. In 1882 he was elected jailer
m tie Republican ticket and for four
years made the county one of the
Dest officials in that office it ever had.
In 1886 he was elected sheriff, and so
admirably did he serve the people in
hat capacity, that two years later he
vas reelected without opposition.
When he retired from office in 1890,
everybody said: "Well done good
md faithful servant" Since that
lime he has been dealing in real
estate and successfully trading. When
MARION Bai,R was re-organized, he
became one of the stock holders, and
the other people interested in that
popular institution recognizing his
value, made him Vice-President and
in that capacity he is serving to-day,
recognized as one of the leading
spirits of the county. He has demon
'trated that energy, good judgement,
ta,t, nerve and honesty is as success
ful in Crttenden county as any where
else in this great country.

commentator from his teachers, and
bore off many prizes and medals that
we're offered for emulation in the
school. At the age of 16 he had rea-
ched such scholarship that the home
peoples attention had been attracted
in that way that when the time came
to select teacher for Salem's school
in 1881 he was offered the Principals
place. Owing to his young years and
being his home school, he asked for
the position of assistant, and it was
given him. Thus his career of teach

upon as leading educator among his

least five:
The Yandell mines are situated
about five miles northeast of Dycus-
burg. Large quantities of very fine
white or wine colOred spar was mined
here some years ago by a Cincinnati
company. l was assured by the
president of this company that the
operations had been profitable and
would have been continued but for
the knavery of one of the officers of
the company. My examination of
the mines convinced me that the spar
is present here IN ample quantity, and
of quality equal to any in country;
and, aside from the item of transpor.
tation to the Cumberland river, can
see no reason why these mines should
not be worked at profit.
The Holly vein, opened at several
points near the LaRue mines, ap-
pears to be identical with the Yandell
vein except in the course OF the vein.
The spar is as fine as it can be, and
the only feature against the profit
able mining of the Holley deposits
lies in this, that they are situated
too far from present transportation.
The same is true of the Beck and
Memphis veins, on which the princi-
pal shafts are located nearly six
miles northwest of Marion. Other.
but less deep shafts, in which the
spar is in no respect inferior to the
best, have been sunk on these veins
short distance south of the Column
bia mines.
Other spar veins have been sunk
on at various points in the county,
but those enumerated are the best
known, and perhaps the most valua-
bic.
