rather puckered mouth. He was
genial and companionable and
soon took a prominent part in
county affairs, and was the dem
ocratic nominee for the state
senate in 1860, and made a splen-
did race, but was defeated by
the independent candidate, Col.
Jno. M. Simonton. When the
Civil War broke out he volun-
teered in the ranks, but was soon
promoted to a first lieutenancy.
He was a great peoples man.
He was of the yeomanry. | re-
member to have met him once
with his command in Georgia
shortly before his death, and,
though an officer next in COM
mand to a captain, from his garb
you could not distinguish him
from the private soldiers. No
man would go more readily~than
he into the thickest of the fight.
He fell at the head of his COM
pany on the bloody and disastrous
field of Jonesboro. His name
was ]. j. Lindsey, and this little
paper brings him prominently
before me and | thus honor his
memory.
There is another name yet
mentioned in the little paper
which / must not overlook, Eli
Phillips. l knew Mr.. Phillips
slightly from 1850, but intimately
from 1856. He then lived at
Richmond in Itawamba county,
where l was then attending
school. He was social and clever,
and an interesting conversation
alist.
In 1853 he was elected probate
clerk of his county and held the
office for IL years, and was then
elected a member of the lower
house of the legislature. He was
clerk throughout the whole Pc
Rod of. the war, and his hand
and his purse were always at the
command of the poor, and es-
pecially the soldier and his widow
and children. He spent what
his office brought him for others.
Thinking of the newspaper
business in Fulton in the long
ago. brings to my mind. the pa
per published in Fulton before
the Fulton Herald. 1t was owned
and published by John Messen-
ger and was called the Fulton
Messenger. He sold out to Ed
Odom about 1858, and Messenger
himself ran for probate clerk
that year. John Messenger was
a bold and vigorous writer,
speaking his sentiments what
ever they might be, and he was
about as trenchant a writer as
ever sat on a village tripod.
When the election day was over
and Messenger saw he was de-
feated, and at the Carolina box
received not a single vote, speak
ing to a crowd assembled at the
court house, he said, Gentle
men, sixteen voters solemnly
promised me their suffrage at
Carolina, and Pm here to say to
you all, ] have charity er ough to
wish | might have received one
vote there that each of the six
teen might claim to have cast
it,"
After the election his star of
empire westward took its way
and | never heard from him from
then till now.
Now again finally, but not to
the little paper, but upon the
men and women who were living
in Fulton when | moved there in
January. 1859, there comes to
my minds eve a wonderful troop
of men and women moving be-
fore me like a panoramic vision,
each taking his or her place and
station as | saw them in the long
ago, with joy and gladness beam
ing from every eye, laughter
beaming from their counte-
nancns and hiph hone thrOhbinp

The Shadow of a Great Rock
in a Weary Land
BY Col. w. L. CLAYTON

Looking again at the little
eight by twelve sheet-the tia
wanda Rifie-we see the result
of the great Civil War on the
newspaper business. Before the
war Editor Odom had a flourish
ing newspaper at Fulton, called
the Fulton Herald, and which
was we'll patronized. The ed
~itorials were exceptionally good,
though by common consent they
were said to have been written
by D. w. Owen Buck OWen)
and frequently Mr.. Owen had a
prose poem in the paper, which
was not only very readable, but
which should have been preserv-
ed in a permanent form.
In addition to this, Owen fire.
quently published poems, both
rhymes and blank verse, which
deserve to be held in our memo
ries through all the years. He
wrote THE Chace" in an old
blank book shortly before his
death, and which his daughter.
Mrs. Nora Owen Johnson, sent
by express from Plano, Texas,
for my inspection, and | have a
pen copy of it now, written by
my own hand. and which / prize
very highly. 1t is written after
the style of Scott's Lady Of the
Lake." and many of the scenes
are graphic. l see him now in
my minds eye. as he sits in deep
thought, meditating of the things
about which he was to write. with
massive head, high forehead,
prominent nose, having large
dreamy eyes. but flashing fire
when aroused. l see him as he
speaks to the schools and at
Fourth OF July celebrations with
that impassioned eloquence few
could equal and none excel. |
look again and see him in his
Confederate gray at the head of
his company on the bloody field
of Murfreesboro go down under
the enemy's fire to rise no more.
His name appears in the little
sheet and thus calls my memory
into this train.
Looking again at the little
sheet, / see a name which brings
sadness to my heart. l notice
there w. N. Kitchener warns all
creditors of Jasper N. Kitchener
that he is the administrator of
the said Jasper N. Kitchener,
now deceased. Everybody called
him "Jappie," and none knew
him but to love him. AS gentle
as a woman, the soul of honor,
and speciallv the friend of the
friendless.
When | moved to Fulton in
January, 1859. he was a law
partner of Judge Billiard, and |
went into their office to study
law and roomed with him that
winter, and learned to love him
very much. He was frank and
open, generous and true. He
loved his kind, he loved his coun-
try. When the drum beat and
the bugle sounded the call to
arms, his heart was ready, but
the hectic flush had touched his
cheek, and the hacking cough
his lungs; and when we all
marched off to the war, he got
into his little buggy and drove
that beautiful black pony back to
the old home at Mooreville to die.
| can see him as if yesterday as
he departs from Fulton never to
come back again. Tears welled
up in many an eye as he sadly
wendell his way down the old
red hill toward the setting sun,
so certain were they that the
sunset Of his own life was near.
And now just at the beginning

which I must not pass over in 81

in 1859 a young man from the

Travelled from Fresno, which is the
county seat of Fresno county, towards
San Francisco. Except for the part
ing with friends we had no regrets in
leaving this land flowing with milk
and honey which, if not a reality, is
probably as correct as the descriptive
usually is found to be. We had sam
pie of honey produced by rancher
living near Laton, in Fresno counsy,
who had three tons of honey made by
his bees this season. Arriving in Oak
land in the early evening we found
the weather cooler and by the time
we had crossed on the ferry to San
francisco it was decidedly cooler and
tourists We're wearing overcoats and
furs. We were at the fair three DAYS
and came away feeling that we really
had only begun to see the exhibit.
The grounds are in a splendid loca-
ton to the north of the city and along
the San Francisco Bay The buildings
are of style and coloring which is in
keeping with the name Golden State.
Our own state building is substantial
and commodious and the great com
fort that is to be found IN its ample
seats is not surpassed at any state
building. Three of our largest battle
ships were anchored in the bay IN fun
view of the grounds and visitors were
privileged to visit them at stated hours.
San Francisco has made ample proyi-
sion to entertain the tourists and no
one need to be without a room and
good meals if he has the price, which
is reasonable. The sightseer should
not miss some of the sights which are
outside of the Panama exhibit and one
of the best is visit to Golden Gate
Park, where one is shown the fortress
which guards the entrance to San
Francisco Bay. The officers and
soldier IS quarters are here and the

WOULD ENTERTAIN TEACHERS.
Kenosha People Ready to Throw Open
Homes for Entertainment of Teachers.

The people of Kenosha have never
been more Hospitality inclined tow
ards teachers than this year. Those
who are interested in finding comfort
able homes for new teachers are fully
appreciative Of this. But it must be
understood that of the ninety-six ele-
mentary and tWenty-one high school
teachers, but eighteen Of the former
and one of the latter are coming here
as strangers. OF the elementary
teachers, at least five came to Keno
sha in June, and selected their board
ing places, with the assistance, of
friends
when teachers apply at the Office
of the superintendent of schools, they
are given a typewriter list of places
in the neighborhood of the schools to
which they have been assigned. They
then make their own selection,'' said
Mrs. Bradford today. ct am giving
out this notice in due time, so that
those who have sent in their names
as willing to receive teachers into their
homes, will not be too confident Of
having teachers with them. So many
applications for roomers have been
received that there are not enough
teachers to go round"
