Mr.. l.. P. Manning, near this city, exhib-
ted at the ADVOCATE Office on Thursday alter
noon an Old family relic-a John Msrshall
quilt. 1t Was left to him by his mother, who
died last summer at the age of 7S years, and
she received it from her mother The quilt
is supposed to be fully one hundred years old.
The quilt is OF large dimensions. made in
the days of high bedsteads and thick feather
beds. 1t is quilted in stripes. One, printed
in pink, represents moss roses, tulips and
other flowers. The other, printed in blue,
has pictures of the home of John Marshall,
the first Chief Justice of the United States,
bull and bear fights, the old time political
professions, boys boxing match, dancing on
the green and horse racing. :.
Not the least curious thing about the quilt
is the fact that the knowledge of such fine
printing was known a century ago, and anoth
er is that the colors are so good. The quilt
ing is very regular. ,
The quilt is now on exhibition at Miller
Bros store.
