PENNYROYAL OIL
Wrist Made on q Large Scale In Guern
sey County, Ohio.

Sey County ONO.
In the northeastern corner Of Guern.
sey County, Ohio, is located Oxford
Township, once famous, and still
famed, as the center of the production
of pennyroyal oil, the pungent and
fragrant herb, which usually flourish
es best on the leanest soil.
And yet, this insignificant herb was
the principal factor in making Oxford
Township the most fourishing and sub
stantial community In that part Of the
State during the first half Of the pres.
ent century.
The pennyroyal industry was open
ed by Benjamin Borton, who emigrated
from New Jersey, and set about raising
family in the trackless woods. Mr..
Borton was evidently man of prac'
teal ideas, and when, after clearing
away the forests from the hillsides
and turning up the soil for wheat
corn and garden truck, he discovered
that the pennyroyal outgrew nearly ev
erything else, and he was infinitely
richer in it's pungent oil than anything
he had ever heard or read about. III

stills and worms necessary to utilize

January 27, 1866, was the famous
Day Of the Red Terror" described by
medieval chYoniclers. The dawn was
clear and beautiful, but shortly before
The sun rose the heavens became OBJ

The earth like the reflection OF some

hearts Of mankind everywhere. The
churches of Europe were filed the
whole day long. Anchorites and her

cried aloud that the Day of Judgment

could see angels and devils battling In
the air and that the blood Of the CON

He removed in 1913 from Western
Lodge to Ohio Lodge, No. l, and his

tseora1a.s Cotton Kine.

The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle says:
",tames NJ. Smith, Of Oglethorpe, Geor-
cia's greatest farmer, has just brokeo
oil records Of cotton sales from single
plantation by selling to Macon cotton
buyers in one lot over 1900 bales OF
cotton OF a basis Of cents for MID
ding, and when it Ia all weighed and
shipped Mr.. Smith will receive check
for about $4,000. This would be tre-
mendous crop. even If Mr.. Smith raised
nothing but cotton, but when 1t is re-.
mclnbered that he grows similarly
large crops of grain and hay, and that
cotton is his surplus money crop after
producing all the provision crops he
needs, then one can grasp some idea OF
the scale on which Col. Smith farms.

gia's cotton king"

had been commander-in-chief Of the
