From The JOnesbOrO Journal.

DR.. c. G. McNicol put into our hands
a very interesting document in the way
of a copy of The JonesboIo Journal,
bearing the date of September 80, 1880.
This paper was a Democratic sheet and
had at this time as its editor Col. R. H.
DUNCAN, of this place, and the paper
was finally bought out by Hon. w. P.
Brownlow and is consequently now ex-
tinct. The above mentioned issue was
during the campaign of Wright, Haw-
kins and Wilson for Governor and the
second race of R. L. Taylor and A. n.
Pettibone for Congress. Will give the
nation and local tickets as they ap.
peared in this issue:
For President, Gen. Winfield S. Han.
cock, of Pennsylvania; for Vice Presi-
dent, Hon. William II. English, of In
diana. Electors-State at at Large.
Hon. John L.. T. Sneed, of Shelby (;
Hon. John. NJ. Fleming, of Knox.
First District, Hon Charles R. Vance,
of Sullivan. For County Elector, Chas.
E. Dosser. For Congress, Hon. Robert
L. Taylor, of Washington. For Gov.
ernor, Hon. Jno. v. Wright, of Maury.
This is a memorable campaign and
one in which all of the Republican
candidates were successful. Hawkins
got the pie and was elected Governor
by a plurality of $1,000. If space per-
mitted we would give several clippings
which are interesting and full of Dem
ocratic poison, but for the sake of Ma
jor Pettibone and others we forbear
and say "let the dead bury the dead"

will not for a long time to come collect
any tariff on sugar, for the very simple
reason that the Sugar Trust has sup
piled itself with all the raw sugar it
will need for months, in order to escape
the payment Of the duty. The real
reason why the administration is op-
posed to free sugar is that it would
knock the Sugar Trust out of the two
cents a pound which it proposes to add
to the price of sugar.

Francis was a kind hearted, genial gen.

The coolest bravery 1 witnessed dur
ing my term of service, was al Leesburg,
Mo. General Tom Ewing, with bat
talon of the 14th Iowa Veteran INIT,
numbering 100 men and two or three
hundred Missouri State militia, were
forced 70 evacuate Pilot Knob by the
advance Of Marmadnke's and Shelby's
commands, said TO number three or four
thousand troops. Ewing attem pted TO
reach Rolla when he evacuated Pilot
Knab. After a running fight Of twenty
four hours, his tired and hungry little
command being pressed in flank and
rear, took refuge in deep cut OF the
railroad, at the village OF Leesourg, at
dark.
The lines OF the enemy were drawn
well about the beleaguered little COM
maad. The commands of the enemy
were plainly heaed while adjusting
their lines for, as General Ewing be-
lievsd. a night attack In front OF the
beleaguered forces and inside of the ad-
vance lines OF the enemy was a large
barn with several hay stacks surround
ing il. General Ewing called for vol
unteer from the trenches to steal in
side aud through the enemy's lines and
set fire 10 the barn and hay stacks, in
order to light up the field in front Of
the beleaguered little band and about the
lines of the enemy. Earl j. LamsoD, a
corporal Of Company b" lash Iowa,
offered himself as the desired incen-
diary. I warned him Of the imminent
danger of such an undertaking and the
few chances OF escape from capture or
death. lie replied, II fully compre-

with hated breath for the result, mo-
ments seemed minutes and minutes

was discovered in the upper part OF the
barn through q gable window. About
the same time shots innumerable were
heard and the noise OF tramping men
was carried to rs on the night air. In
the midst of the noise and excitement
hanson came bounding toward the
railroad cut with the speed OF race
horse. As he leaped over the barricsde
that had been hastily erected on the
brink Of the cut, he drew long breath
and said, "She's we'll fred boys" b.
the time he reached his comrades, the
fire was going in full force and the
whole grounds surrounding the railroad
cut were lighted up so that with our
muskets and two Parrot guns we had
with rs, we were soon able to beat

New YORK, February 1.-THE trust
companies Of the United States contri-
butte an interesting page in the history
of national finance. Their growth has
been truly phenomenal. They came up
like mushrooms, but their growth was
permanent. They long ago came to
stay. There is no stopping their sue.
cess. Even in .psnIcs like the present,
they keep arriving on the scene. Like
all permanent financial institutions,
they came because they were needed.
They ill long felt wants. They oc-
cupy a niche in the business OF banking
that had long waited for an occupant.
While like everything else that Is good,
they have their counterfeits and con-
quently their failures, they are to-.
day the most reliable and satisfactory
of our financial concerns.
Twenty-Five years ago trust com
pany was a rarity. To-day thore are
over two hundred OF them between
Main and California and their resources
amount to over a billion OF dollars. On
the continent OF Europe and in Eng
land, the trust company made It's APP
pearance before IL did in America.
Some Of the the strongest banking
establishments abroad are conducted
on the trust plan. The Society Gener-
ale, of Paris, is famous in all the hnan-
cial circles of the world. Brussels and
Amsterdam each boasts Of vigorous
organization OF this sort. There are
scores OF them in England, and nearly
all the industrial establishments in this
country that were purchased by the
English had the negotiations carried
on by trust concerns In London, Liver
pool, Manchester, Edinburgh and Glas-
cow. Their standing soon reached the
top in the way OF popularity and credit.
The Trustees, Executors and Securities
(Limited), of London, attained a record
breaking popularity. Its original
shares were eI0, equal 10 fifty dollars
IN our money. Before the Barring fail
ure, these shares sold as high as &C, 600.
In other words, q share for which the
early stockholders paid fifty dollars,
was sold for $4,000. No bank in the
world ever equealed that record. We
have no parallel case here.
One OF the earliest OF the trust COM
panies was the Farmers Loan and
Trust Co., Of New York. Its origin
was humble, but no sturdy lad ever
grew faster nor with more vigor. II is
typical Of all the original institutions
Of the kind. 1t had liberal charter.
The banks at once perceived the dan
gerous character OF its rival but there
was no checking its progress. II was
permitted to pay interest on deposits
subjeete TO check. All trust compan-
ies now have similar privileges. They
can act as trustees. buy and sell sscuri-
ties, issue bonds and shares Of stock Of
corporations and make money in score
OF ways from which the average State
or National bank is debarred.
