and full of happiness, as they al
ways are before a storm.
But alas! in n very short time the
storm descended in all It's fury AMI,
sweeping over the beautiful country
aide, brought havoc and destruction
to take the place OF the peace and
plenty that had so abounded. Hick-
man was not the actual scene of any
battle during the war. but both arm
les marched through several times,
making the devastation more com
plete with each march. II was. how
ever, quite near Belmont, Columbus
and other important battlefields, and
the heart stricken wives and mothers,
waiting in agonized suspense at
home, could hear each boom of the
cannon and realize that any moment
loved ones might be dying on that
field of blood and carnage. Berry,
the famous guerilla. also made the
vicinity of Hickman the scene Of
much of his slaughter and destruc-
ton. The people lived in terror Of
this lawless man and his band of
criminals, who plundered, stole, and,
II the occasion demanded II, even
murdered. Being on the river, IIick-
man was open to the fusillade of
the Union gunboats that seemed TO
take especial pleasure in firing on
the women. children and darkies left

merce sprang up and like every 9TH
er small town 1t developed a "Main
Street." but unlike every other little
town its stores are large and city
like. An excellent public school was
built, several large manufacturing
plants were put in, and to accommo-
date the new population many new
sections of the town were opened up.
There are now eight churches, a Car
negie Library, handsome new Court
House that would be a pride to any
larger town. an electric light and ice
plant, one or two cotton gins. a box
factory, a wagon factory. a cotton
seed oil mill, FIGURING mill, good
newspaper, two large banks, and
most remarkable in a small town--an
opera house. But after all, in a
great many ways, il is the same little
town that 1t was long aga. There
are the same old hills, the same broa
river, the same large number of
horses, dogs, and negroes. the same
bright Kentucky sunshine, and the
same Kentucky people.
The beauty and natural surround
ings of a place naturally have much
to do with its general attractiveness.

who live in II who make it charming
and attractive. This is the case with
Hickman. Its general appearance
would probably catch the eye, but
it is the charm of its people that

BONFIRE To TELL

Signal Will Appear When the
Dream Mine Winnie Cuts
Rich Ore.

During the last days, or nights, of this
week residents of Payson and neighbor-
ing villages will begin TO watch anxicusly
for the bonfire high on the mountain
toward the east which viii apprise them
that the expected strike of rich ore has
been made i'm the Dream mine. The strike
is due. according TO Bishop Coyles dream,
on or about April J. and, as the dream,
even to the minutest detail has been
carried out thus far, not a doubt Is en-
tertained of its complete fulfillment
So certain are the people of that sec
ton that the Dream mine Will develop
into one of the richest gold mines IN
the county that not a little OF the stock
has changed hands lately at $40 share,
it is said. Prediction is freely made
that it will be worth $40 a share as soon
as the rich ore is encountered, and many
confidently believe that il will eventu-
ally bring hundreds ofNdollars Tor every
share.

a few points, maintaining a heavy gain
