The Independence is the last of the

ships the American navy ever boast
ed. Her keel was laid down i'm 1872.
In her time she was to the United
States navy what the most modern su-
peterborough is to the navies Of to-
day. She was the greatest fighting
vessel afoat. boasting three decks and
~ guns.
In lS4S she was sent around the
Horn and for many years was used as

HISTORY OF PRESTON COUNTY

The History OF Preston County is
now being distributed to subscribers.
Alter several years Of painstaking labor
the most important literary undertaking
ever attempted in the county has been
brought TO q successful conclusion. The
works.. in two volumes, totaling nearly
nine hundred pages (7xl0), well printed
on a good quality OF paper, substantially
bound and containing a large number OF
full page plates.
Volume one treats of the historical
phase OF the county from the earliest set
Element until the present time and is
accurate, complete and contains a wealth
OF interesting information The entire
book was written by Mr.. o. +. Morton,
who was resident OF the county for a
number Of years and is known to practi-
cally every citizen within our borders
de is writer OF ability, being the author
OF several books, and is especially well
qualified in the historical field.
Volume two contains biographical
sketches OF large number OF Preston
county families and was written by Mr..
j. X. Cole, who has been in the county
Tor more than two years gathering in
formation for use in the present work.
tie has had much experience in this line
and the volume shows care and thor
oughness in preparation.
Mr.. IL. 5. Whetsell assumed all finan-
cial responsibility for the publication of
the History of Preston County," and it
was only through his determination that
such history should be placed on the
market at this time that the work has
been successful.
The undertaking has met with snb-
stantial support, the people realizing that
the time is rapidly passing when it will
be possible to get first hand information
Tor use in such publication. Since the
beginning OF this history a number of
the older residents OF the county have
passed away, and but for history such
as this and at this particular time suc-
ceeding generations would have but
meagre knowledge of the conditions con.
fronting the founders of this county.
1t Is thirty-two years since the publi-
cation OF the only other history OF Pres
ton county, and that work has long since
been ont OF print. A copy was recently
sold Tor several times the original price,
showing the value placed upon work of
that nature. Some fifteen or sixteen
years ago an effort was made to publish
more comprehensive history than the
first, but on account of financial difficul.
ties the matter was dropped.
