Bro. Chamberlain's memory led
him astray for once wherein he gets
us into the Indian wars and report
Ing the Custer battle for the New
York Herald. The Editor Of the
LEADER was in Canton the day Gen.
Custer was killed, June Is, 1876. We
were acquainted with Gen. Custer and
every officer under him on that June
day and had seen and mixed with the
splendid body Of men he commanded,
and of course didn't believe the re-
port Of Clusters death and the mass
acre OF half of his command. We
didn't believe there we're Indians
enough on the war path to whip
Custer, such was u faith In him
and that splendid body OF lei
Mark Kellogg, representing the
New York Herald, was killed with
Custer and Col. Lounsberry Of Bis
marck sent q report Of the battle and
massacre to the Herald. The writer
was, however, connected with the
Herald before going into the army in
1861, and after serving three years In
the army was again connected with
the Herald during the siege of Peters
burg, and the Herald enjoyed the
distinction Of being the only news
paper with . headquarters tent at
Gen. Grants headquarters at City
Point during the closing months OF
the war. The Herald tent was about
200 feet from Gen. Grants little log
house, and the Herald boys were in
close touch with the General and his
stan, and some Of the staff wer6 fire.

and none came Oftener than Gen.
Parker, the New York Indian Chief
Of the six nations, and was often &c
companied BY Gen. Thomas Francis
Meagher, the famous Irish Brigade
commander, who was ordered to re-
port - Gen. Grants headquarters
for special duty, and remained during
the fall and winter OF 1866.
II affords the writer pleasure to
make this correction and thank Bro.
Chamberlain for his kind words.

A NOVEL PROPOSITION
Over 1000 Presents To Be
Given Away Free.

The Jones Piano Company in open
ing their store at POS Main ST., Can
ton. S. d. in the building formerly
occupied by the laundry, have GER
tainly adopted a novel plan whereby
they will get their name before the
people in a hurry. Besides their
large assortment of fine pianos they
are advertising and their strictly one
price system, which enables a child to
buy as cheaply as an adult, they are
giving away several thousands Of dol
lars in presents.
They have offered to allow the
newspapers to select the committee
to award the prizes which should
prove to every person the absolute
fairness of the proposition.
This contest costs nothing to enter
and as every person will get some
kind Of a prize it certainly will be
worth entering.
Mr.. Jones said that the word free
In connection with any kind of a
gift usually excited some suspicion to
the motive and gave the following
explanation In referen to their free
gifts which seem to be very practic-
able. He says certain manufacturers
that they represent have made large
appropriations for advertising and
are useing this means of getting
their pianos before the public, instead
of useing high price space In Magazines
or theatre programs, and curtains,
bill boards, ETC., and the employing
OF high salaried and famous artists
which costs hundreds OF thousands of
dollars. He says in this rapid age OF
progress which Is better explained by
the use Of the automobile, wireless
telegraphy and other modern invent
ions, that the old method of doing
business Is being done away with and
the new era Is upon US and that his
plan Is In keeping with the spirit Of
the age and It seems reasonable.
