Early Settlement and Hardships En-
dured by the Pioneers.
Eighty years ago the place which is
now occupied by the beautiful little
town Of Sullivan was dense wilderness,
whose awful silence was broken only by
the call Of the wild turkey, the shrill
scream Of the panther, or the savage
whoOp of thered man as he hunted the sui
len bear or pursued the bounding deer.
About this time q company Of YER
mOnters, living OIL the east side Of the
Green mountains, becoming dissatisfi-
ed with the barrenness Of the soil, de-
cided to seek place Of habitatiOn where
nature was more bountiful in the be-
stowal Of her gifts. Accordingly, after
casting about for some time, they select
ed OHIO, then the far west, as the goal OF
their expectations. Loading their
household goods and farming imple-
ments into large wagons drawn by four
oxen each, seven families started on the
long and tiresOme journey, June G, 1917.
The names Of the families are as follows

The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, COM
munityof simple, honest, God-fearing
men and women, have prepared the Sha-
ker Digestive Cordial for many years,
and it is always the same, simple, hon
est, curative medicine that has helped
to make the Shakers the healthy, long
lived people that they are. The Shakers
never have indigestion. This is partly
owing to their simple mode Of life, part
ly to the wonderful properties Of Sha-
ker Digestive Cordial. Indigestion is
caused by the stomach glands not sup
plying enough digestive juice. Shaker
Digestive Cordial supplies what's want
ing. Shaker Digestive Cordial inyigor-
ates the stomach and all its glands so
that after awhile they don't need help.
AS evidence Of the honesty Of Shaker Di-
gestiye Cordial. the formula is printed
on every bottle. Sold by druggists,
price 10 cents to 81 per bottle.

BRIGHTON.


Miss Hester B. Smith WIS born in New
York state, October 3, 1929. While yet
little babe she came with Ter parents to
Hartland, o., where they lived a few
years, then they moved to Rochester. 0.
Here they begin pioneer life in the
woods, clearing off the timber so that a
log house could be built for them to live
in. Many times the bowling wolves
could be heard very close to the little
house and only blanket hung up at the
door to keep them out until a more sub
stantial one could be made. Hester was
the Oldest of a family Of eleven children.
Her girlhoOd dayf were all spent at the
home Of her parents, until her marriage
with Hugh Mosber which occurred March
10. 1S4S, when she came with him to his
home in Brighton, O., where they have
since lived. Seven children were born
to them, six girls and one boy. Uncle
Hugh,as he was familiarly known, de-
parted this life four years ago, since
which time she has lived with her son
Walter at the old homestead.
She united with the NJ. L. Church
early in life and was always found at
church with her children when sickness
did not prevent Her life was an exem-
plary one filled with kind and loving
deeds, and she was loved by all who knew
her. Her health has been failing for
some time and suffered much in her last
sickness, but she bore all without mur-
mur, or complaint. Her children were
with her to the end tenderly caring for
her every want. She was faithful
member of the Brighton Grange. Her
death occurred May 10, 1896, of cancer of
the stomach. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. c. II. Rutledge a
former pastor and friend of the family,
on Wednesday, May 13, at p. IN. at the
NJ. E, church, Brighton, 0.
We the members of the Brighton
Grange extend our sympathy and con-
dOlence to the family and relatives of
sister Hester MOsher. We desire to ex-
press our heartfelt sorrow that our sis
ter should be taken from our fellowship
but we know that God doeth all things
well, hence we bow in humble submis-
sion to his will. Therefore, be it resolved
that we will ever cherish in our hearts
the memory Of our deceased sister. Re-
solved that copy Of this be sent to the
family. Resolved that it be published in
the Enterprise.

In order to show some of our Pop
ulist friends that some of their infur
entail leaders are getting disguised
with their party, We wish to quote a
short article from the Independence
Star and Kansan, the cleanest Popu-
list journal published in Kansas. 1t
says: Sour criticism of the Popu-
list party is friendly and it is deserved.
We are not on top IN Kansas and
throughout the northwest to-day be-
cause our leadership has been selfish
and self.seeking. Education is all
right; but no amount of education will
ever induce the great mass of the
people to rush to>the standards of a
party whose leaders they distrust.
Every reform movement is Judged by
the character of the men who are at
the front. 1t it appears that where
Populists are in office they are just as
eager for big salaries and the loayes
and fishes of official position, a~ the
leaders of the old parties, you will
never see a populist wave sweeping

F. d. NOODLE ISSUES A CALL TO THE
FLORIDA TOBACCO GROWERS
TO MEET IN OCALA WITH
THE NATIONAL con-
VENTION.

The Florida Tobacco Growers
association has decided to hold its
annual convention in Ocala during
the week of January IL in cen
junction with the Natior al Tobac-
CO convention that will convene
here on the same date. President
Noodle of Lake City has issued
the following cal:
At an informal meeting of the
officers Of the Florida Tobacco
Growers association, he'd at the
exposition in A lapta last fall. it
was deemed unnecessary to call
the annual meeting of the asso-
citation, for the year 1895, and that
the next meeting would be subject
to the call of the president, at such
time and place as might seem
most inviting and expsdient.
Hitherto, this industry of grow
ing Florida cigar leaf has been
confined mainly to Middle and
West Florida, bat during the last
year or two it has been success
fully extended to the more eastern
and extreme southern counties
in which many local tobacco grow
ers' associations have been organi-
zed, and experimental crops grown
of surprising merit.
And now, in view of the fact
that int diligence and skill are in
dispensable to general success,
and that no less than,intercommu-
nication of ideas and general CO.
operation, hereby invite and re-
quest all the tobacco associations
of tobacco growers in the state Ct
Florida, north, south, east and
west, to send representatives to
Ocala, January IL, prox., that they
may have the advantage of the ma.
tional convention of Tobacco
Growers, at the same time and
place. which will be composed OF
the most experienced and intelli.
gent men from all the tobacco
growing states, together with the
most scientific and representative
members of the different expert
ment stations and departments ot
agriculture Of both the state and
general government. The princi
pal object cf this call is for the
purpose Of mere thorough reor
ganjzation of the local county as
sociations into a more genera
state association, and the election
of new officers, which should bs
from the more widely separate
divisions Of the state.
The railroads will give reduced
rates TO be made known in du,
time. State papers are requested
to copy.
F. B. NOODLE,
President Florida Tobacco Grow
ers Association.
