Mrs. Susie Yeager of Rineyville,
Hardin county, KY, now in her Goth
year, was a schoolmate of Abraham
Lincoln at the very first session he ever
attended
I called on the old lady at. her home
one day last week and heard from her
lips some interesting "reminiscences of
the very early life of the martyred
president.
Mrs. Yeagers maiden name was
Riney.
Her father was one of the pioneers
of that part Of the state and Rineyville
. is named for the family. She was
much better educated than the aver
age girl of her generation, her family
being one of the most prominent and
wealthy in the county.
+ Her husband had been dead for many
! years, the family possessions scattered
: and in her extreme old age she is div
ing in poverty, almost in actual want,
IN a miserable log hut-it. can hardly
+ bedignified by the name of cabin. An
orphan girl whom she has reared has
given her all of daughters love and
sacrifice. She has refused several of
! fers Of $maftiage, choosing to remain
and support. by. her needle her former
benefactress. s.
They are permitted::,t to occupy: the
hut by distant relative Of Mrs. Yea
gers, but there is not q foot of ground
: for garden purposes, and corn bread
and. bacon .aresthe: staple articles'* of
food. :
; The evident refinement of the occu-
pants is in strange contrast with their
:saualid surroundings" This little hut
resembles in outward appearance the
patched. up coal sheds of stables, com.
molly built and seen on the premises
occupied by negroes. 1t is, the rem
nant of an old smoke-house and is. so
overlaid with patches of boards, shin
giles, BARREL slaves and old. bits of
fence, over which is daubed mud to
keep out the rain, that the original logs
are scarcely perceptible. 1t contains
but one room, the walls of which have
a thick layer of newspapers and old
strips of cotton covering them, to keep
out the wind and rain. The room is
16 by Is feet, has an old fashioned fire
place, one window, 2 by 3 feet in size,
and. two low doors. In one corner is
an old fashioned bedstead, with four
high posts, a rope mattress and an en-
ormous feather bed, covered with a cot
ton quilt pieced of pink and white cot
ton: A three--cornered cupboard is in
one corner, chest of drawers in an
other and a modern cooking stove,
placed to one side of the fireplace The
floor is bare and the sunlight streams
in through the chinks in the ceiling.
When it rains these same chinks ad-
nit an unhealthy supply of water. In
winter. these two women almost freeze
to death.
They are only a few hundred yards
from the house of the >,relative who
gives. them the rent pf. the. cabin. and

one calls, when either is sick, not an
apple or peach is sent them in summer;
NOR a vegetable nor piece of beef,

Caught Out.

~
IL there is any town in the State that
can take the palm away from Eureka for
being easy TO skin, let that town come
forth and speak. The rankest frauds are
always sure Of rich hsrvests In this good,
easy burg. The following is taken from
the Ogden Evening Press Of the 10th inst,
and refers TO q couple Of suave, nice
young men who were recently located 10
Strsus' old place OF business on Main
street, holding forth as Opticians and
Jewelers." They succeeded In " fxing"a
number Of clocks for Eureka ~people-and
the slow and measured tick Of the CLOCKS
are now heard no more forever. They also
improved . number Of watches, and carried
several to Elko for further improvement;
wandering thence TO Ogden. further op-
e%rasions were temporarily suspended, and
our people now have their watches, minus
the expected improvement:
II seems that the Evening Press un-
frocked a pair Of inscriptions fim.fsm.
mers in its issue Of the 9th inss. when IL
published the shady operations Of the al
legged doctors Hoyt and McKenns, who
made their headquarters ct the Broom
Hotel. Since that article wss published
Sheriff Bslnap received q letter from Sher.
ia Sweeney al Eureka, Nevada, saying
that Hoyt and McKenna had stopped
there and advertised themselves o. op-
ticisns and jewellers and that they
had collected several watches from parties
with the promise to repair them ct Elko
and return them to the owners. They
never stopped at Elko and Sweeney asked
Sheriff Belnsp to call upon them here and
demand the watches which he did. AT
first they denied that they had them, but
upon the threat Of the Sheriff TO search
their rooms they produced the property.
They were sent TO Eureks. but now comes
a letter saying that one Of the watches 10
not the one wanted. but ss the birds have
flown the probability is it will not be re-
covered. The letter 10 Sheriff Belnsp did
not describe the watches, hence he was
unable to tell whether the fakirs delivered
