GEORGE B.
MATS0u.
The Pioneer Mormon, and
Former Wilmingtonian
Now In the East.

George 3. Matson, vino was born
in this city Y years ago, but who
in youth went to Utah and was con.
verified to polygamy is now in the
East with his l9year old daughter.
He was at Philadelphia yesterday
and expects to visit his Wilmington
friends before returning West.
At an early age Mr.. Matson Join
ed the Mormon church, previously
having journeyed with his family in
to Illinois, then the far West. In the
famous exodus of the Mormons from
Nauvoo, ILL.,, Matson was a member
of that brave band. From Omaha
afterward, in the second exodus OF
the tribe of Mormons he was also
member. Then but eighteer
years of age, but strong and of the
stock that has disappeared with the
pioneers, he was one of the 144
men who, with their wives and chill
dren, started from Omaha in 1847
to seek for themselves home where
they could follow their religion and
laws undisturbed.
Through thousand miles of
trackless forest and desert they
journeyed, building their bridges,
fording streams and cutting theil
road through land wherein no
white man had ever trod.
Through the great American
desert went the brave band, and
this was the most trying part OF
the journey. At last, in lS47, they
reached Utah, placing on Ensign
Peak the American flag.
He was one of the men who took
part in the bloody Walka war in
the early tifties, when it seemed as
though the fierce tribe of Utahs
we're about to annihilate the Nor
mon colony. He was one of the
mail carriers in the days of the old
prairie mail service, known as the
"Y. x" Mail, Ioung's Express,
and he has seen Salt Lake City
change from its cluster of scattered,
rough hewn log huts to the great
city that it is to-day.
Matson carries with him a gold
medal presented to him by the Utah
Semi Centennial Pioneer Jubilee.
1t is handsomely chased medal in
form of a fcur-leaf clover, and on it
are the beehive OF Utah, the pony,
1.-The prairie schooner and the 10.
connective. Mr.. Matson had but one
wife.

lecturing against kissing. which she
thinks ought to be stopped by legisla-

zee the day when kissing Is entirely
unknown. / wish IL could be made
illegal. 1t is not clean thing to do.
1t should be discontinued by every
clean, thinking woman" II is evident
ly case OF sour grapes with Miss
Lindley, who is In no danger from con-
tamination. All the legislatures and
all the courts in christendom couldn't
keep man from kissing pair OF ruby
lips II the owner was willing and Miss
Lindley may as we'll desist In her chase
after the unobtainable. Kissing may
be unhealthy and unclean and Is in
certain cases, but IL is as natural for
lovers to let their lips meet in a delir-
ium of delight and for a another to press
her lips upon those of her little one as
it is for the sparks to fly upwards or for
old maids, or some of them, to be disa-
greeable.

w. p. WALTON.

THE Harrodsburg Democrat says our
kick against making the McChord bill
q test of democracy will only last till
the constituted authorities declare that
It is test and then we will accept the
dose and discant loudly upon how sweet
aud wholesome is the taste IL leaves In
our mouth. Nay, nay, dear Spotswood,
not quite 80 bad as that. We are a
thick and thin democrat and believe IN
majority rule aud defer to the united
wisdom OF the constituted authori-
ties, but there is limit beyond which
the constituted authorities of the party
may not go and matters upon which
they should not make test. We hold
that man can oppose the McChord
bill and be as good democrat as he
who honestly believes that IL is the
greatest desideratum. 1t is a legisla-
tive question purely and should not be
worked into politics which 'are" hell
enough already. The Hopkinsville
convention acted wisely In having but
one plank In its platform and We trust
that the Frankfort gathering will be as
sensible. Let us have no unnecessary
side issues, but laying aside every
weight and the sin which doth so east
ly beset US, let Ne run TO victory the
race that Is set before us.
