Iowan is Youngest Soldier.

The United States pension office has
settled the controversy as to who was
the youngest soldier in the civil war
by a statement of facts in connection
with the granting of pension to Perry
Bynum, now of Seattle, Wash, and
formerly Of company d. twentyfourth
Iowa volunteers. He enlisted at Mt
Pleasant, Aug. %, 1862, at the age Of 8
years and 10 months. He was born in
Kane county, Illinois, Oct. %, 1852. He
served as drummer boy less than a
year and was honorably mustered out
on surgeons certificate of disability

believe Bynum holds the record for be-
ing the youngest person enlisted. He
will get large sum of back pension.

We have received the first copy of the
Grand River Local, which G. M. Grimm
established at Grand River last week.
1t is very newsy little sheet, and we
wish editor Grimm abundant success.
Ten years ago he published a paper at
Grand River, but the field was too small
to support a paper and it was discon-
tinued. We fear the same will be true
at this time. 1t costs money to publish
paper these times, and the field in
Decatur county is pretty we'll filed.

man received an honorable discharge
on Oct. %, and started at once for good
old Iowa. Roy says he has had great
experience during the four years, and
one which he does not regret, but has
had all the navy life he wants. During
the long voyage around the world they
stopped at many places and saw many
strange sights, but the best sight Of
all was when he reached good old De-
catur county, and was with home folks
once again.

Iowa continues to lead the number

With virtually no exceptions the as

ever before. The current issue of the

this time Iowa is credited with no
less than fifty-one prospective as
semblies, three more than the next
nearest state, Illinois. Ohio has but
twenty-eight in prospect; Missouri
Kansas, sixteen; Nebraska, thirteen,
and New York, twelve.

Grangeville is the county seat of Idaho
county, has rich farming country all
around it, and is also the base of sup
plies for one of the great mining dis
tricts of Idaho. 1t has an elevation of
over 5000 feet, but the winters are
mild. Elder Hubbell says it is the first
time since his boyhood days in Kansas
that he has live twenty miles from a
railroad, but Grangeville is going to
have railroad soon, and the country is
developing very rapidly.
