To another Marshalltown man re-
search has given the knowledge that a
great grandfather was one of the rag
ged band of heroes who faced starva-
ton and death with Washington that
terrible winter at Valley Forge.
When these scattered leaves from the
pages of the past are bound in the rec
ords of a Marshalltown chapter of the
S. A. r. what an interesting volume it
will make. 1t will not be a reading of
mere facts and incidents, but it will be
facts made alive thru the touch of fam
lily relationship. And then, when our
men folks learn to boast of their ances-
try and wear heirlooms, mayhap soci-
ETY. will wake up and cultivate" 'em.
At least 1t might give them rank
among the society people who. accord
ing to Mr.. Howells, hoped that their
souls were immortal, for they knew
that they were well born and cultivat-
ed.

SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1902.

A numerously signed petition
from Greenville, protesting against
Senator Tillman's opposition to
the confirmation of Postmaster
Richardson at that place, and
urging that he use his influence
to expedite the latter's con6rma.
tion has been presented to him.
Senator Tillman said that he had
made up his miud some time ago
not to withdraw his opposition to
Postmaster Richardson, and that
the petition would not change his
intention.
Senator Tlllman alleges that Mr.
Richardson's paper, the Green
vile News, has been unnecessarily
harsh and unfair in its criticisms of
himself as Senator, and he will
fight the nomination. 1t is not
probable the Senate will violate
precedent and override Senator
Iillman's objection.
For a like reason Internal Re-
venue Collector Koester's nomi>
nation is in the same fix and it is
not probable his confirmation will
get through the Senate. - Rock

A South Carolina Community in
Texas, and Other Items.

MIR. EDIToR:-Anou, ten years
ago many of our people became
dissatisfied with their situation in
North and South Carolina and
b gan emigration to Texas Some
came In earlier days when the red
man and the buffalo roamed the
vast prairies and helped drive
them back and transform II wild
nnPnpulated cenntry into one of
the greatest and most productive
states in the union, but, ten years
ago the tide of emigration rose
still higher and since that sixty
five families have landed at. Wills
Point from Lancaster and Ches-
ter6eld counties, S. c., and
Union county, n. c., and quite
a number have gone to other
places. A group of our Ian cas-
ter county friends have settled
six miles northeast of Wills Point.
If you will allow me space in
your newsy columns, ! will give
them and their surroundings q
brief mention. On the north side
of our settlement we have our old
friend, 2. b. Funderburk, who
has an ideal home and is sur
rounded with all the necessarIes
and comforts of life. w. G..
Funderburk is domlciled in O.
good home just one-half mile
down the road and is getting
along splendidly. Three hundred
yards further down we find T.. V.
Funderburk, who by hard toll and
honest efforts has procured neat
home and is getting fixed to en-
Joy life. Within few stones
cast is James l.. Hair who by his
shrewdness has made success of
his undertakings and ha. got
comfortably fixed. Three hun,
dred yards further is John S.
Fundsrburk, who has q nice
farm and has the push and vim
that is necessary to make farm
ing q successful business. just
in front of his place is our old
reliable G. p. Knight VINO has not
been in Texas long enough to
realize much of it's advantages but
Cicero knowA a good thing when
he sees it. He has an elegant
home, well located, and is farm
ing quite different to what he did
in former days. In addition to
those mentioned we have Fred
hunderburk, John Hair aud
Barnes Stsrnes for our neighbors. .
They have just begun to fight the
battles of life for themselves and
as they ale worthy and energetic
young men wo bespeak for them
success.
The fetal worth of the first six
mentioned when they first set their
feet on Texas soil was SO, 200.
They now own property clear of
debt to the amount $4,000.
showing an increase of 80, 800 IN
less than ten years. All this was
made by farming and not by
speculating. And now some of
cur old friends think we would
come back to our old homes if we
only could procure the means to
do so. My My! We are the
bsst contented set of farmers you
ever saw. At this season of the
year when we are preparing our
land and planting our crops, with
out the use of commercial fertili-
zer, our mind runs back to our
old home and our boyhood days
when we were oppressed by the
