took the lead from the start and were

was only seven innings played and the

q. s. Blackburn addressed q large
crowd of people at Drennon Springs
yesterday. The meeting was some
what marred by the rain. but there
was quite an outpouring of the peo-

as usual marvel Of eloquence, He
reviewed the administration of Mr..

in the monetary system Of the coun-
try. Throughout he was listened to
attentively. and those whom the rain
compelled to remain away suffered a
disappointment as we'll a a loss.

contended for the mastery, and made
night hidious with their discordant
voices; when there was not church,
nor school house, nor mill, nor
blacksmith shop in all the length and
breadth of the county.
He pointed to a very large stump
in tie yard and told me that was the
stump Of a tree that decayed and died
and was cut down about twelve years
ago. The tree at that time was some
four feet in diameter, and was but
sprout that sprang up from the stump
of a chinquapin oak that his father
cut down when clearing the spot up
on which he built his house about q
century ago. Col. Hill cav the tend
er twig grow to sapling, then become
a sturdy oak, tho monarch of the sur
rounding forest. He saw it wilher,
and die, and may yet live to see the
stump rot away and disappear.
His father, David Hill, was ma
tive of North Carolina When We
ny young man, nineteen or twenty
years old, hs came westward into the
region of the Holston river, in East
Tennessee. There ne fell in with one
James Richie and came with him to
this country. Richie selected for his
future home the place where the late
N. B. Clement lived and died, and
there young David assisted him to
build log cabin, the first house, so
far as known, ever built for human
habitation within the present limits Of
Crittenden county. That was about
the year 1895.
David was then unmarried; he look
ed around and selected for himself the
place where the subject of this sketch
now lives, and for his father, Eph-
rain Hill, he selected the place where
Cal Adams now lives, we'll known as
the George Long place. he then
went back to North Carolina and as
sisted his father to move out, and
they settled on their respective places
as selected by David; but before bis
death the father moved on to the
same place with David, occupying q
separate house, where he remained du
ring the remainder of his life.
About the year 1898 a number OF
emigrants came from North Carollns
and East Tennessee and settled in the
vicinity Of Marion. George Elder
settled the place now occupied by his
daughter in law, Mrs. Joe Elder, on
the Salem road. He was a single man
at that time but soon after married q
Miss Henry; he lived his entire mar
ried life on that place. Alexander
Elder settled the place where Mrs w.
B. Order now lives on the Princeton
road, and his brother, John Elder,
settled just across the creek west;
there two were related to George FL.
der, but we're not his brothers.
George Mayes settled the place
where Mrs Wheeler Mayes now lives
in the Midway ncighborhood; he first
built where the fair ground buildings
now stand; he afterwards discovered
a spring only few yards from the
present residence ofMrs. Helen May
He then built there; be married Z

A VENERABLE PATRIARCH.

Has Lived i'm Crittenden County
Ninety-twO Years.

Among the other early settlers were
the Dickeys, Jacksons, Hillhouses,
Brices, Stinsons, PicSenses, Cruces,
md Canadys.
n " to return to my subject, Da'
vid Hill married Hannah Elder in
the closing years of the last century.
Ephraim w. was the third or fourth
child Of this marriage in family Of
six, three boys, Anthony, William
and Ephraim and three daughters,
Margaret, Mary and Lurana.
Ephraim w. married Polly B. Por.
ter in 1897 or %, and from that mar.
riage were born three children, two
sons. Ezekial Porter, of this town,
and David Edgar, who died in 1861,
and one daughter, Mary E., now tn e
wife of Judge r. A. Dowell, Of Well
ford, Kansas. His wife died in the
early COS and in 1865 he married a
Miss Williams. A daughter of this
second marriage, Mrs John w. Belt,
now lives in his home with him.
About the year 1910 David Hill
sold out to his son Ephraim W., and
went to Illinois.
The first school house that Colonel
Hill ever saw, very probably the first
ever built in the county, stood about
one hun bred and fifty yards from the
present site of Midway school house.
Robert Dickey was the first teacher.
1t was probably not what we now call
a graded school, nor did the teacher
have to pass through term of the
county teachers institute before he
was allowed to teach. There were 10
county superintendent then, no trus-
tees, no teachers institutes, no teach
ers certificates, no pay-no nothing.
But we must not despise the laborI Of
the teachers Of those days, for they
were heroically laying the foundation
Of an intellectual empire the most
sublime that the world has ever seen.
The first church building probably
ever built in the county was the old
"log church" at Crooked creek on the
Fords Ferry road, about two miles
north of Marion. Il was built by the
Presbyterians and afterwards sold by
them to the Baptists, and the Presby
teriaEs built the old brick church near
where Bigham's mill now stands. This
was long before the town of Marion
was commenced, and these two church
buildings were distinctively known as
the Brick Church" and thu clog
Church." almost as long as the two
houses remained standing.
Rev. Terah Templeton was the first
Presbyterian minister 10 this county,
he boarded with George Mayes, aud
the latter named his son Terah for
him.
James Richie, already mentioned
as settlisg the W. B. Clement place
built the first mill ever built in the
county. 1t was operated by horse
power.
Colonel Hill held the rank of Colo
mel of militia Of Livingston county,
when this county was detached from
Livingston. He was then made Col
onel for Crittenden; 50 he has been
Colonel for both counties. He has
also been a Justice of the Peace.
He was present at the first circuit
court ever held for Crittenden county
1t was held at the house of Samuel
Ashley, whete Pierce Butler is now
living, near Crooked creek church.
The opening order of that term Of
court reads as follows:
"Agreeably to an act of the Gsner
al Assembly Of the Commonwealth Of
Kentucky, establishing the county of

To the Voters ., The City d Augusta.

You will decide. on Monday next,
whether we shall have. as In the past
history of Augusta. q government OF
the people. by the people. or whether
we will set up monarchy in this city
and delegate all our political rights
and powers to one mamie to be ON
nipotent.
Should we accept the five amend
ments proposed. vesting in the mayor
the power Of appointing all the city Of
ficials. who would seek the office?
Would 1t be man competent to I'LL
the office? Not at ALL II / had never
been mayor. and it was the ambition
of my life to fill that office. would
not accept that Office under those cir
cumstances-I should not feed compe-
tent to WELD so much power-it would
be too big a responsibility to be as
sumed by any one man.
DO you ask me il there would be any
lack for candidates? II so. I answer
you. not at all. Three hundred dollar
candidates would bob up thicker than
pins on bowling alley. You would
elect one of them--he would make his
appointments and then go into part
rership with every one OF them. HUI
man nature is about the same in Au-
gusta as elsewhere. Look at Lowell,
Mass, where they are trying to stran-
gle this gigantic fraud Of appoint
ments by the mayor without approval
by any one.
The President Of the United States
has the appointment of high officers.
but they all have to be confirmed by
the United States Senate. Here it is
to give the mayor all of these
powers without confirmation by the
people or their representatives-in fact
to leave behind all of our preconceived
IDEAS of government by the people.
and crown our mayor king.
!. This idea of the Capitalization of our
political powers in one man, is
stencil in the nostrils of most American
and should be in all.
The attorney who drew up the bill.
Hon. II. NJ. Heath. has. over his own
signature. refused to support the po-
lice section. and that is not bit more
er four propositions.
But I will not take more space in ar
guing this question. as there is no need
Of it. The voters Of Augusta are intel
ligent people. and these theories which
are floating in the air over Augusta
will never land to disturb us.
To make the matter plain to the
voters, l will say. that those who do
not wish to set up q monarchy in this
city, will vote NO on the five PROPOSE
lions.
On the other hand, il YOU want
vote just the contrary, and
you will not only have monarchy,
but you will offer the highest pre-
mum for corruption ever offered by
my municipality in the world.
