A HER CHAPTER r.
Editor Barron Continues His "reminiscences
Starting Our Newspapers.

EDITOR NEWS: 1 have read
with pleasure the articles in this
weeks News by T. j. Thompson
and a writer whose name does
not appear tohis article. Iwish he
would have given his name so that
| might recall who was my oppt-
nent that night in the spelling
match at the Dutch Corner. 1
remember the night well. We
had lots of fun, and | have often
thought of it since. But / will
speak of the winter l taught at
the Valance school house in an.
other article. / wish now to go
on from where / left off in my
last article.
The last subject l was speaking
of was the lawyers and the first
county officials of Fulton county.
The writer in this weeks paper
is right about the first sheriff be-
ing Mr.. Barnhart. David Fore
was not elected till afterwards as
| now recollect. / am not clear
as to who was the first Represen-
tative, but think it was Wm. p.
Schell who became Speaker of
the House while he was in the leg
islature. John Cessna was also
elected Speaker while he served
from Bedford county. There
was also one or two lawyers that
| think | did not mention in my
last article. One was E. G.. Day,
who came up and located there
from Frederick, Md. He was a
local M. E. preacher, and taught
the school the first year or two,
and l was one of his pupils. He
was man of somewhat stern ap.
pearance but kind to his pupils.
He was elected Prosecuting At
torney after, think VIM. p. Schell
had served term. | never heard
what became of him. He had a
son named Charley that was near
my age. The other Attorney that
| remember, was a Mr.. Bonnett.
l forget his first name. My rec
objection is, that he died while
lived there. He came from Bed
ford. He was very quiet, un-
assuming, young man, well liked
but very bashful-too much so
for lawyer. He dressed well
and used to wear a black satin
vest, which was very much in
vogue in those days.
Mr.. Thompson speaks of the
marriage of John HI. Filler to Lou
lisa Bohn, and her untimely death.
| remember her well as a most
amiable and lovely young lady,
but | remember her sister Mary,
better, as she was one of my
school mates and about my age,
and also her step-sister Susan
White who, l think, married Col.
Boyd of Franklin county, and

Carlton Lawson Coulter.

The subject of this notice was
born at New Grenada, October 2l
1880, and died in Pittsburg May
IA, 1902, after an illness of five
weeks of typhoid fever.
He was a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
George w. Coulter of Pittsburg.
his mother, Minnie, being a daugh-
ter of MIR. and Mrs. j. G. Cum
ningham, of New Grenada.
He was a typical young man,
and his life was full of promise of
success and great usefulness, and
his demise, as he was just enter
ing upon the threshold of man
hood, is crushing to his parents
and friends.
AT the age of 13 he became as
sistant ticket agent at the Fifth
Avenue station of the p. K. r. at
Pittsburg, which position he held
for six years and during his
spare hours, he made himself
master of the art of stenography
and book keeping. AT the time
he was stricken down with the
fever, he was Paymaster of a coal
company, Private Secretary of
the Superintendent of the Elec.
trio Plant at McKee's Rocks, and
during the extra hours, kept the
books for another firm.
He possessed those traits of
character that made his services
valuable to his employer, and that
would have won for him position
and influence.
1t is not always easy for us to
understand the workings ofProv-
idence; but they are always right.

Bohn visited at my fathers in To-
wa some two or three years after
we left McConnellsburg. | Won
der if any of these are living now.
Perhaps the most interesting
event to me upon the erection of
the new county was the arrival of
the two newspapers in the town.
Tie first to come was, The Fulton
Democrat followed in a short time
afterward by The Fulton Repub
lican. James B. Samson was the
proprietor of the Democrat. He
had started the paper in Bedford
a short time before and was buck
ing against General Bowman with
his Bedford Gazette. When Nc
Connellsburg became a county
seat he removed his paper there.
We boys were watching for the
first edition to come out and to
see them run off the paper. L
was there at the "bornin" of the
newspaper. None of us had ever
seen printing Office before, and
it was a great sight to see them
working off the paper on the old
hand press.
From that time on / was a fire.
quent visitor at the Democrat of
fee and there is where | got my
first inspiration to become an Ed
itor, and never did feel satisfied
till | became the owner of a print
ing office. But / didn't know as
much about delinquent subscri-
bers then as | do now, or about
working day and night without
pay to help people get into fat of
fees and never get any myself.
Jim Samson, as we called him,
had a brother named Joe who
worked in the office, who with
Wilson Evans who worked in the
Republican Office were special
chums of mine and my brother
Will. Included in the crowd was
also Peter A. Reed who clerlIed
for his brother Jacob. Many a
jolly evening have we spent in
one or the other of the printing
offices, and they come back to me
with vividness as | recall them.
Jas. B. SAMSON removed to In.
diana county and published the
Indiana Democrat for number
of years, and died there. Joe
was, the last | heard of him, one
of the proprietors of the Altoona
Tribune; Peter A. Reed was in
Tyrone, but | have not heard of
him for long time; Wilson Ev-
ans, l heard, died many years
ago; w. H. Barron is living at
Raymore, Mo-, and l am here,
alive, and thankful for the years
vouchsafed me, and the blessings
of health and ability to work still
continuing with me.

Wild Blaze at Dyersburg.

A fire broke out in the Illinois
Central depot Tuesday morning
last in Dyersburg, and before its
progress could be checked the build
ing was in ruins. The flames
we're winnowed by a heavy south
wind and spread to five box cars
loaded with merchandise which
were destroyed before they could be
switched to a place of safety.
The depot is about half a mile
from the reservoir and water could
not be had with which to combat
the wild spread of the fire.
The ticket cases and the inStru-
ments in the telegraph office were
the only things that were snatched
from the burning building.
The fire is supposed to have
started from a spark emitted by a
passing locomotive.
The loss is estimated at $50, 600,
and is partially covered by insur-
ance, but the amount thereof could
not be stated by Mr.. White, the
agent of the railroad company.

considerable number of women.
This and his execution of prisoners
of war have given him a name
which he will never be able to live
down. And with some 237 900
soldiers under his command he is
not only unable to suppress the
few thousands of Dutch patriots,
but he has had to report quite a
number of disasters to his troops.
Just what effect the singing de.
feat administered to Lord Methu-
en- may have, it is impossible to
forecast. Over in London, we
have it from official circles, that II
will only make Great Britain more
determined. If there should be
no pause in England's determine
ton. of course the Beers must be
gradually worn to a fragile. II
England keeps on pouring men in
to South Africa, and keeps spend
ing money to back them up, the
Beers may finally succumb. But
on the other hand there may be a
limit to the patience of the British
tax payer. The war has already
cost about billion dollars. TO
keep it up for three years more
will cost another billion. No ma,
+ ton can stand such strain upon
its resources. Looked at simply
as a business proposition, without
regard to the question of prestige,
Great Britain would find it money
in her pocket to withdraw all her
troops and abandon South Africa.
There may come a time when the
British tax payer will come to the
conclusion that he is paying too
much for the prestige of the en-
pire. The sutferings at home may
lead him to think that war is not
worth while. With q weary and
Disguised taxpayer in England
and a weary and disguised soldier
in South Africa, the outcome is not
so easy to guess. The war is be-
ING fought under peculiar condi
tions, and all prophecies so tal
have gone awry. Hence he wouIt
be rather rash who would predlc
that the race would be to the swift
or the battle to the strong.

to cause the old Generals bones to
