voters and each candidate felt
confident of success. Some two
or three weeks before the election
q voter in what was termed the
east end of the county went to
Charlton. Whiskey was abund.
ant and free to all who drank the
"critter." H was very fond
of the article. Mr.. Moore lived
near by, kept an excellent table
and fl was a welcome guest.
This wss as good thing as H
could desire. He went it strong.
At length the election came on,
but H had imbibed 80 copiously
with so many friends that he
was "done for.' A vote, how.
ever, must not be lost, some of
Moore's friends got him up and
took him to the polls and his
name was recorded by the clerks.
One of the judges demanded:
"Who do you vote for?" H
called out, "Ashby." 'What do
you mean?" said the Moo-e.men,
who had had him in charge.
"Haven't you lived on Moore for
weeks and drank his liquor and
electioneered for him all the time
and now don't vote for him?" H
replied: Yes, Moore is gentle
man; hurrah for Moore! but l
vote for Ashby ms self. Do you
suppose, -hic- that | would

elected by one vote.

that our infant county was not
devoid of talent. Duff Green, as
has been stated, was one of our
first pioneers. Hesexplored the
Grand Charlton river $50 miles
to ascertain the practicability Of
making it navigaole stream by
clearing out the logs, etc. He
had built large brick house in
the town of Charlton on a. sandy
foundation and when the house
was rooted the foundation gave
Way and the west end of the
house broke apart. The crack
was at least foot wide when
saw it in 1923 In short, Duff
Green was broke himself. He
owed Aull & Glasgow 500. In
tn winte" of 1924 he took the two
partners into the clearing-rcom

a clean breast Of it: told them
what he owed and what he want

cash. With the aid Of that
amount he felt confident he could
in short time pay them the
whole amount of the old and new
debt. He went out; theI mer

EARLY HISTORY OF CHARLTON COUNTY.
BY JUDGE LISBON APPLEGATE.
CONTINUED from last week.)

BY JUDGE LISBON APPLEGATEs
CONTINUED from last week,
From 1920 to 1924 the county
was flourishing. The settlement
continued to increase in number
and wealth. The military dis
trict contained but few inhabi.
tants. The titles to the land could
not be had and the land subject
to entry was in detached pieces
80 as to prevent the formation of
neie hborhoods. The land was
exceedingly productive and the
range for stock was 90 abundant
that but little feed was required
in winter. But there was no
market nearer than New Orleans
and this market was reached by
means of flat boats once year.
The result was that fat hogs were
only worth one cent per pound
when dressed; corn was often
bought for 25 cents per barrel of
five bushels; COWS and calves
fer S5 or S6 and everything else
in proportion. All the necessaries
of life were 80 abundant and
easily procured that everybody
had plenty. Salt was made in
many places in Howard county
and was very cheap, but certain
luxuries were considered indls.
pensible-sugar and coffee, iron
and casting must be had, aAd
they cost money. Many families,
however, used honey as sub
stitute for sugar. This article
was very abundant, bee hives
being found wherever there were
hollow trees. The hunting of
bees was a business much follow.
ed in the fall season of the year.
Thousands of gallons of rich, de.
icious honey have been squeezed
out of the comb and split on the
ground on the sGrand Charlton
and its tributaries for the wax
| alone. Beeswax was always a
| cash article at about 25 cents per
pound. Nearly everybody dress.
ed in homespun clothing, but the
ladies, especially the young
ones, must have some store goods
for certain occasions. Although
only a small amount Of money
was required, the farmers, even
the ones in good circumstances,
were very much embarrassed to
procure that little. Yet notwith.
standing these petty annoyances
the people were prosperous and
happy.
In the winter of 1928 "a Find
ley's steam mill in the town of
Charlton was burned. This was
the first misfortune. In the sum.
ler of 1924 there was quite a
flood in the Missouri river: its
bottoms were inundated several
feet deep. Great loss and distress
was experienced by those living
on the bottom lands; especially
in the town. After the waters
subsidized a sinking sediment was
eft on the gronnd which pro-
duced disease. The people suf-
fered with fevers the fall of that
year all over the submerged
district. There was camp
meeting in progress in the Mis-
souri, bottom when the water
OverflOWed the lana. Inc people
were shut in and had to be res
cued by boats.
! think it was in 1924 that q
very exciting political race wa:
run for the legislature. Johr
Moore of the town of Charlton
who had been sheriff for foal
years, and Major Daniel Ashby
were the candidates. There wa'
no division in politics then-ev-
| cry body was a Democrat. Th'
opposing candidates stood entire
lyon their personal merits. They
were both very strong men
