that time. All packages and parcels
will have to be separated and placed in
their class. 1t is understood that no
additional help will be placed in the

not grant these petitions it is not i'm

history of Kentucky it was in Logan
county, this state, that he spent his
last days and was buried.
Among the daring pioneers who
blazed the way for the settlement OF
the great West in the early days OF
American history, no one was more
picturesque than Simon Kenton. With
Boone and Crockett he contributed
more to the marvellous growth of
American settlement and received
slighter personal benefits than any of
those who came later. His life was
filled with adventure. AS a youth he
worked as a spy against the Indians
for Lord Dunmore, then British gov
nor of the province of Virginia. Later
he joined the expedition of General
George r. Clark and participated in
the surprise and victory at Kaskasllia.
He led party to resist the progress
of the British and Indian campaign in
Kentucky. He took part in Mad An
thony Wayne's campaign, was made
brigadier general of Ohio militia in
1905 and wound up his active military
life with the battle of the Thames in
1913.

lands he thought he had acquired by
discovery were appropriated by others
