CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
By w. A. MACY.

DANIEL BOoNE's LAST DAYS.
The last days Of Daniel Boone
were full Of trouble. After all
his work in exploring. settling.
and defending the region now
known as Kentucky, he was not
permitted to settle down quietly
and spend the evening of his
tempestuous life in peace. Ow-
ing to the imperfect land laws Of
the State the title to the farm
he had chosen was declared de-
fective by the courts. and others
got the land. At one time he was
" intrusted with a large sum OF
money to buy land for some
frierds and was robbed OF the
whole. Other troubles came upon
him and he became discouraged
and disgusted with the ways OF
civilization. He emigrated from
the land he had conquered from
the Indians. and sought a new
home beyond the Mississippi He
located at a point about forty
five miles west of the present
site Of st. Louis. the country now
known as Missouri being at that
time within the Spanish domain.
The other settlers there were
kind to him. and gave him a con-
siderable tract of land. When
the American government took
possession of that territory, II
generously allowed him to keep
one-tenth of the land that was
given him and that was rightful-
-ly his. Though past eighty. he
spent most of his time in h, It
ing and trapping. and saved up
the money he received for 'pelts.
With this he went back to his old
home in Kentucky and settled up
some old debts he had left be-
hind him. paying each man what
ever he demanded. Tradition has
II that he returned to Missouri
with just so cents in his pocket.
He died September 26. 1920. in his
eighty-seventh year. Twenty
FIVE years after his ashes were
removed TO Frankfort. KY, and
reinterred with great honors.

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
THE EARLY VACATION,

THE EARLY VACATION.
The hotel wears an air Of gloom.
There's ice upon the river.
You contemplate your hall bedroom
And shiver.
No damsels have arrived as yet
And you grow glum and GUNNER
While thinking of the girls you met
Last summer.
The lonely prospect fails to'please.
The clerks small talk seems silly.
The porch is empty. and the breeze
Is chilly.
The solemn waiter looks at you
And shakes his head in pity.
You stay four days, then beat 1t to

a LARGE VOLUME OF


business was disposed
of last week at the reg
ular meeting of the city coun-
Gil. Hereafter all the pro-
ceedings of that body will ap-
pear in the columns of this
paper as they are entered on
the record books of the CITY,
that every taxpayer and cltl-
zen may know at all times
what is going on in the city
without attending the meet
ings. A committee was ap-
pointed to see about additional
street lights for the town and
rates on same. There will be
two and possibly five additional
lights, to be stationed in var
ious parts of the town where
they are most needed. An
ordinance in regard to unSan-
itary conditions and places in
the city will soon appear in
the columns of this paper COM
pelling all parties to keep
their premises clean and same
will be enforced by the coun-
ty health commissioner and
the city marshal. In addition
to the above there were a few
blocks of sidewalks and cross
ings ordered to be laid; an
ordinance prohibiting any
person from riding a bicycle
on the sidewalks, limiting the
speed of automobiles within
the city limits to eight miles
an. hour and many other i'm
portant matters settled. In
regard to last years road tax
collected by the county as
SCISSOR which should have been
collected by the city street
supervisor, on motion of one
of the members of the coun-
Gil it was decided to bring suit
against the county for the re-
covery of the same, suit to be
brought at the fall term of
court. The attorney who is
to have charge of this matter
made the council a PROPOSE
ton of $500 for his services if
he wins, if he loses his ser
vices will cost nothing. The
amount involved is about
81, 10000. This may not be
the best way of going about
getting this money but then
there is always some way in
which these things can be
brought about for settlement.
The case has come up in
E other counties and still left
for the court to decide whether
or not the county assessor had
any right to collect said taxes
and what right the county has
to hold same and in what
manner or form will be
brought about to return it to
the city. All in all the coun-
Gil did very good day S work
and their efforts should be
appreciated.
