a voice; what thunderous oaths and
death-dealing profanity May his
like never be seen again.
Below Helena / saw a steamboat
nearly half a mile from water on a
sandbar, the river being very low.
We afterwards saw men using sound
ingslines, made famous by Mark
Twain.s Once our boat grated on the
bottom, with very perceptible Jar
and tremble. reminding US of an
item of news received while we we're
at Memphis, that the John Adams,
loaded with salt, had run upon a
rock, or log, near Natchez. and had
broken it two and sunk.
A pleasant episode was our &C
quaintance with a Mr.. Atkinson, of
Nashville. u He took a great fancy to
my sister. Sara, a bright, pretty lit
tie girl of ten. Mr.. A. had heard
Jennie Lind, and Sara reminded him
so much of the famous singer that
on parting with her he gave her a
five-dollar gold piece. She changed
it to breastpin, which she kept till
it was stolen by darkey during the
war.
Our first view of Vicksburg was
from the pilot house, some ten miles
above the city. 1t made beautiful
picture, the court house, as it still is,
being the most prominent feature.
Little did we then think that in
few years my brother Charles and
myself!would spend over a year in
that vicinity amidst the stirring
scenes of the war in '62-'63, and be
cooped up and besieged by land and
water for 48 days, and finally witness
Gen. Grants teeming thousands Gel
citrate the 4th Of July, by marching
proudly into the city, with flags
waving and bands bursting with pa
triotic airs.
We reached Jackson by our first
train in good order. 1t was late in
the season, but my father had the
good fortune to rent a piece Of good
land. Our little squad went to work
in earnest. We made three crops of
cotton of average of II to Is bales,
worth fifty dollars bale. In "a my
father bought a little farm near
Jackson, and continued to make good
crops, and prosper in a modest way,
so that by 1861, he not only owned
his home, but had become owner of
two slaves-a man and a woman. l
hope you will pardon these personal
yet having given glimpses
Of our struggle and hard luck in
Kentucky, feel glad to be able to
tell you that the change to Missis-
sippi was beneficial in many ways.
In conclusion, if our readers have
been interested and amused, | shall
feel gratifed. The scenes and pic
lures are such as might occur in the
life of every boy. If you have laugh
ed at my awkwardness and mistakes,
| have laughed as heartily at myself.
May every boy and girl who reads
this, study and strive to be grand
and noble men and women. Yes,
build your characters upon the high
est models and ideals. Initiate God
and Christ and good men, and walk
n good principles. /, Be good. 2. !
Be intelligent. 8. Be lovely.
And may the richest blessings of
Faith, Hope and Love be yours in
time and eternity.

HUGHES MEN SHOW RESULTS
First Fruits Of Utility Supervision Seen in New
York Report.

That more than hundred millions
of dollars worth of securities with
out drop of water" have been issu-
ed by the railway and lighting COM
panies of New York state during the
past year is shown by preliminary
report of the public service commits
sioners at Albany which was made
public in that city. Every dollar's
worth of hard times. which is con-
sidered surprisingly large for this
period of hard times. has been in
vestigated and authorized by them,
the appointees of Gov. Hughes de-
clare in presenting these results of
their first full years labors. More
than five hundred cases are reported
as having been dispatched each month
by these five men whom the governor
is holding personally responsible for
the regulation of corporations in this
state.
In spite of the recent period of f.
nancial depression, twenty new public
service companies have been started
with the authorization of the commits
sion, the report shows. while nine
substantial extensions have been
made to existing enterprises. 1t is
noted that interurban electric rail-
ways have made considerable progress
throughout the state under the admin
istration of the Hughes commission
ers. Where the scattered municipal
authorities could formerly exercise
little concerted supervision over such
lines, it is pointed out, the commits
sion had been able as a central au-
thority to safeguard the joint inter-
est of the communities along these
routes. Mention is also made of vari-
GUS cases in which the Hughes COM
mission has been able to assist the
authorities of the towns of the state
in obtaining concessions from their
utility corporations. which. it is de.
clared. could only have been secured
otherwise by lengthy and expensive
procedure in court.

ELECTRIC ROAD TO SIOUX CITY
Many Towns Looking After Road From Des
Moines to Sioux CITY.

The route OF the Des Moines &
Sioux City Interurban misses Lake
City a few miles. taking straight
shoot for Ida Grove just south of that
town. and the citizens there are now
trying to secure the road.
The Odebolt Chronicle says of the
matter: 1.-Two surveyors from Lake
City ran line from Lake City to
Lake View last week and assured the
people of the town that a subscrip-
ton Of $50 shares of stock would in
duce the Des Moines & Sioux City
management to build the road via
Lake View. We hear the Lake View
people are hustling to raise the stock.
The same surveyor came straight
from Lake View to Odbeolt. arriving
here Friday. They reported finding
an easy grade between the lake and
this place.
we understand that these survey
ors are not connected with the Des
Moines & Sioux City company but are
acting in the interest of Lake City.
The road as shown on the map pub
lished by the promoters runs south Of
Lake City, and the people of the lat
ter town want to offer sufficient in
ducement to get the route changed.
Hence their proposal to Lake View.
The "map line''' gives Wall Lake the
preference
Lake City might as we'll recall her
surveyors for the line will run as
mapped and no other way. The east
ern men who furnish the money have
made it plain that they will not
swerve to either side even as much as
a half mile and the road will be the
shortest possible to build between the
two terminals.
The latest story is that Carroll is
after the road. Denison should have
committee out after this road. A
route from Manning through Craw-
ford to Ida Grove would be easy to
find and strike good country. The
route is still undetermined. Will
Denison try for it?

LIBRARIAN REPORT FOR 1908
Carnegie Library Makes Fine Showing fol
Popularity and Efficiency.

Miss Meyers. librarian, has made
her report for the year 1908, and
Denison's Carnegie works makes a
fine showing. A glance through the
report of the state librarian shows that
the total circulation of the Denison
library is two to three times as great
as that of other like towns.
The figures show that on the average
nearly ten books were drawn on each
borrowers card. These figures Fail
to show anything concerning the
large number of readers who crowd
the library early every evening. If
the books these visitors read and con-
suited could be added to the "circula-
tion'' it would reach a very much
larger figure and give a still better
idea of the intelligent use Denison is
making of its library. The follow
ing is the librarians report.
