County Notes.
from tho Holly Chieftain /

The town board is putting in sew
ersl hundred trees this year along
the streets of Holly. They have
figured the cost down so that it is
but small item, but the benefits to
be derived will be greater than can
be figured in money if they were
mere expensive than they are.
Rails and ties for the construction
of the Holly & Swink railway are
coming in so fast that the company
has secured the services of John f..
Murphy as foreman of an unloading
gang to clear the cars and keep the
material in systematic shape, SO
that they will know exactly what
they have and what they must secure
when the task of laying track begins.
Twenty-six cars of ties and three of
rails arrived last Friday. This will
give our readers some idea of the
magnitude of the undertaking.
These supplies have been coming in
for over a month, but this is tie
largest shipment arriving in any one
day.

airy. Wolford did not arrive un-
til late, and before his arrival a
paper had been prepared and
signed by those present agreeing
to tender h i r designations.
When is was presented to VOL
ford he refused to sign it, and
opposed it, giving as a reason
that it would be unjust to the
men who had volunteered under
them, and for his part he could not
desert the private soldier whom
he had induced to enter the SER
vice. The paper was reconsider
ed and burned A large con-
course of people being present in
town, Wolford made a speech,
patriotic in all it's utterances, in
which he sharply criticised the
emancipation and confiscation
policy, as in violation of the Con-
stitution and of the repeated
pledge Of the authorities.
Soon after this he was ordered
to the front with his command,
was engaged in a number of bat
ties, commanding a division, and
was in the siege Of Knoxville.
1t was while in Tennessee that
he received a circular order from
a superior officer directing a de-
tail of two regiments to confscate
rebel property and recruit ne
groes for a battery at Knoxville.
He Endorsed upon the order that
he was in the army to fight, not
to steal, and that he would have
nothing to do with it. In a short
time he was ordered back to Ken
lucky to recruit and refit his
command.
In March, 1864. he was pre-
scented by the Union men of Fay
cite connty with a very fine
sword, pair Of pistols and a pair
of spurs. This was the begin
ming of his troubles with the
Government authorities. The
speech of presentation was an ex-
IRENE speech that favored the
prosecution of the war in a spirit
Of revenge and for conquest.
When the orator had concluded,
and rendered Wolford the pres
ents he declined to accept them.
He was then called upon to give
his own views, which he did, re-
viewing with the holiness Of a
soldier and freeman the course of
those who were attempting to
pervert a war for the Union into
a war for plumber. At the con-
clusion Of his speech, the crowd
by rising vote declared that he
was right, and that he should ac-
cept the sword, ETC., which he
did.
| For this speech he was soon

afterwards arrested and ordered
to report to Gen. Grant at Nash
vile, which he did without delay.
When he appeared before Grant
he informed him that he was un-
der arrest, and asked that he
might have a speedy trial. Grant
told him he knew nothing about
it, offered him drink (which he
refused and after telegraphing
to the President, sent him to
Gen Schofeld at Knoxville. Here
he again demanded that charges
be preferred and trial granted
him. This request was not &C
coded to, but he was ordered
back to Kentucky, and on his re-
turn found an order from the
President Diminishing him from
the service.
He was then nominated by the
Kentucky State Convention Elec-
tor for the State at large on the
Mcclellan and Pendleton Presi-
Dental ticket, and also received
a commission from Gov. Bramlette
authorizing him to raise reg
iment of six months troops.
He Immediately commenced a
canvass of the State, partly to
raise troops under this commits
sion, and partly to discuss the
questions at issue between the
political parties. He succeeded
in raising the regiment, and up
on arriving at Lebanon for the
purpose of mastering them into
the service he was met by an Of
ficer of United States army with
an order for his arrest.
This resulted in the disbanding
of the men, and their return
home. Wolford was carried d.
rectly to Washington in chains,

ence of Secretary Stanton at the
War Department, Stanton in

INTERESTING HISTORY OF WAR and PEACE.

cIOSeQ ne returned 10 MS nome at
Liberty, in Casey county, and re-
sumed the practice of his profess
sion. About two years ago he
removed to Columbia, Adair
county, This native county, for
the purpose especially Of enjoy
ing the superior opportunities af-
forded for the education of his
children.
He owns a little farm near town,
and his residence is a plain, COM
Portable log house, built after the
old style. He is now sixty-four
years of age, yet his eye is un-
|dimmed and his natural force is
not a whit abated. His youngest
child is about four months old.
Known in his younger days as
one of the finest natural orators
in the State, he is today a match
on the stump or before a jury
with the most gifted and trained
speakers in our knowledge, re-
minding one in the sublimity of
his language when warmed up
and in the fiery zeal to what we
can imagine Patrick Henry was.
No man in Southern Kentucky
can draw a larger crowd than he,
and no one is listened to by the
people with more evident relish,
for he is always fresh, racy and
original.
His war record is a part of his
tory. We will not dwell upon
that, but there is an unwritten
history of his treatment by the
Federal authorities that may not
be undressing. 1t will serve
to show some of the dangers
which threatened free speech and
| personal liberty at that time. No
man can charge that Wolford has
been a negative character.
When the call was made for
troops by President Lincoln, the
Governor of Kentucky refused to
respond. Mr.. Crittenden and
other distinguished men took
ground in favor of neutrality.
| Wolford favored no middle
ground, but before taking action
he wrote to President Lincoln for
a pledge as to the purposes of the
war and policy upon which it was
to be conducted. He received a
written assurance that it was
merely to maintain the rightful
authority of the Government and
should be waged in no other
spirit of conquest or subjugation,
and that the rights of the States
should be protected.
| With this understanding, and
impressed by a warm love Of
country, Wolford appealed to the
people, and in a little while hac
a regiment OF cavalry in the field.
In battle he led the advance, and
in retreat was in the rear. He
was wounded on eight occasions
and some of his wounds are YET
unhealed and cause him daily
suffering.
Soon after Mr.. Lincoln issued
his emancipation proclamation, 3
meeting Of Kentucky officers was
called at Lebanon, KY, to con.
slider what should be done. Men
were there who now occupy high
seats in the Republican sanctu.

life and character of Gen. VOL
ford and his correspondence with
President Lincoln, were first pub
lished in October, 1881. At that
time Gen. Wolford was a candi-
date for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Clerk of the Court of APP
peals. We reproduce it for the
benefit of the home corners, many
of whom perhaps never read it:
More than sixteen years have
elapsed since the war of States
closed. Many of the leaders and
heros of those bloody days have
passed from the scene of action;
some yet remain to tell of the
trying events now a part of a
great history in which they par
ticipated. A new generation has
risen up, who can read without
passion and with less of preju-
dice the records of the times that
tried the souls of men and wO-
men of our land.
In Kentucky during the war
no name was more familiar to the
people than that of Col. Frank
Wolford, the gallant leader of the
first regiment of Kentucky Caval-
ry. 1t has been said, no battle
was fought from the Potomac to
the Mississippi river that at least
some of Wolford's Cavalry did
not take part in it. However
that may be, it is known, and
was a recognized fact, that they
were a gallant and active body of
men, and led the advance in
many a hotly- contested field.
Wolford was justly distinguished
for his bravery and magnanimity.
He served his country because
he loved it and from a desire to
preserve and perpetuate it's free
institutions.

Arms with him never silenced

and persol liberty were always

He was born September End,
1877, and, like many of the stur-
dy self-made men of our country,
was denied many of the advant-
ages in securing an education
which are now the common prop.

stances could not conquer his en-.

fires that burned within him. He
overcame them by steady pur,

with the rudiments of an English
education, he commenced the
