preacher in the middle West; and in New vir-
ginia, Ia, witnessed the dramatic incident
which was destined to be the motif OF one of
the best dialect ballads in American literature.
Several years later Mr.. Winans was in War

Guiding John, accompanied him TO the Presby-
terrain Church. where he preached on Divine
Providence; Its Possibilities Under Natural

teuce may work in answer TO prayer. or of its
own tender mercy. without miracle but wholly
in accord with rational laws-chiehy through
the spirit. And among other illustrations he
told the story which has since with some
changes under poetic iicensel become the endur-
ing &" Little Brooches" In 4 visit this spring to
Warsaw Mr.. Winans secured the letter in which
Hay acknowledges the source OF his inspiration.
This private letter iof which. even afte twenty
six years. the Land Of Sunshine does not print

Gregg. for many years editor of, the Warsaw
Signal. Hay remembers gratefully his " many

and talkative boy and tells his old friend Of his
new successes. He was then THE letter is dated

From the LouiGrtIle Post.
Squire Charles W. Gentry OF Harrodsburg
has the distinction OF being the only son Of {
Revolutionary soldier now alive in Mercer
county. and he had a close call, for when he was
born his father was past SO. He is a son OF
Richard Gentry, who fought through the war
OF Independence under Gen. Nathaniel Green,
his grandfather on his mothers side also being
a soldier in tho same army. The Squire's
father. Richard Gentry, took part in the battle
Of Cowpcns with old Dan Morgan, where the
red coats under the brutal TarltOn. met disas-
ter. and was in the famous retreat led by
Green when he was pursued by CORVALLIS, the
patriot army being saved by providential rises

suers. He came to kentLa.y in 1856 and
knew Boone, Eiarrod. kcnton and Logan and
twice. ten boys and two girls blessing the first
union and seven the last. The subject OF this
child. squire Charles had three brothers in
the war OF 1872, the most distinguished being
Richard Gentry, who, besides bearing arms 10
his country in ISL, fought in the Back Hawk
and Seminole wars, and fell At the head Of his
command at the battle OF Ocochobce on Christ
mas bay. 1887. The Indians, seeing the hero
fall. fought desperately 10 secure his scalp, but
his son, who was by his side when he fell. rallied
the troops around his fallen father; and q ter
rible hand to-hand conflict ensncd, and the
Co!onel's scalp was saved. by an act OF the
Missouri Legislature his remains were taken T.
that state after the war and buried with mill
tary honors, I, costly monument marking the
spot. Through the efforts OF Thomas II: Ben
ton. the United states senate passed a bill max
ing his widow Postmistress for life at Column
bus, Mo, and she died holding that office.
Squire Gentry's father died in 1913, aged "
year,. The "reminiscences handed down from
father to ION would nil volumes. The squire;
like his ancestors, is "A Democrat OF tho OLE
school, and during the. war was a rampant
rebel, having innumerablc relatives on the
Southern side, but none On the Federal. lie

ton following the civil war, and marched
through IA row Of hristlin2 bayonets TO cast
his suffrage for the Democratic ticket. He
has many relics and priceless kcepsakes, among
them the discharge given his father at the end
ried by his father through the struggle for
American liberty.

spite OF my hatred ! found resistance vain,
and for a long time, and until a deus eT ma

scene, saw no resource but to bear the yoke and

He had one principal mode of strengthening
favor as besides effecting that object and rem
dering me serviceable II amused him with the

sending me with letters and messages to Sans

they were printed.
