CHARLES H. HARDIN.
First Postmaster at Columbia
Founder of Hardin College in
Mexico.

Capt. David Guitar went to
Columbia, Mo-, over 50 years ago,
when he was baby and when the
place had only about 200 inhabit-
ants. Guitar was veteran in the
Mexican War and was a captain
in the Confederate army. lie
freed four slaves at the outbreak
IF the Late Unpleasantness.'
"They were just building a
brick courthouse when we moved
here" said Mr.. Guitar i'll an in
terview which appeared last week
in the University Missourian.
Court had been held about once
year in a log building before
that time. The land around Col
umbia was all woods and most of
it was owned by the three Cave
brothers, who had obtained it from
the government. The Black Hawk
Indians lived north Of here. They
did not come to town often, but |
remember hearing the people tell
about the Indians.
Il was eighteen months old
when we came to Missouri. Our
goods were brought in three wa
CONS. My father and mother rode
in vehicle called a 'gi' drawn by
one horse. We crossed the Mis-
sissippi River at st. Louis and
came to my grandfathcr's home.
He lived east of Columbia. His
home was the first brick house in
Boone county and is still standing.
"The first thing | remember was
the hanging of man near where
Christian College stands. He had
been tried for murder and found
guilty. Everthing was done ac.
cording to law. | was just three
years old then.
"Charles Ii. Hardin was the
first postmaster of Columbia
The postoffice stood near the site
of the Hetzler Ice Plant. Mr.
Hardin built the old Hardin house
on South Fifth street, which is
the oldest house now standing in
Columbia. "
The greatest thing for which
Columbia is noted, according to
Mr.. Guitar, is that it has been the
home of the founders of four OF
the colleges in Missouri. James
l.. Stephens founded Stephens Col,
legc in Columbia. Charles ii
Hardin, Hardin College at Mex.

Jewell College at Liberty, and
NJ. L. Payne, the Howard-Paynt
College at Fayette.

Mr.. Guitar. major Rollins, whc
was well known over the state, was
especially active in raising thu
subscription. The citizens of th
county raised about $4,000
, which was more than was offere,
