Ratliff Describes Old Trails;
Farmers Traded in Cincinnati

In wagoning between these points,
not only regular teams were used, but
farmers themselves, in the new terri
tory, would take their own convey
ance with an extra man or too, and
deliver their own produce.
Many of the regular teamsters used
"hame-bells" on their harness. These
were flat, metal bells, similar to the
sheep bells of today, being four in
number and suspended upon a semi
circular arch of iron, fastened from
the top of one hame to that of the
other, on each horse, except the saddle
one. This arrangement was patterned
after the arch-hame used by the team
sters of Russia. With the aid of the
bells 1t was much easier for the team
sters to keep in touch with one an
other, and were in continuous use as
long as the wagoning continued. On
the completion of the Miami Valley
canal along the Great Miami river, the
teamsters drove their teams to Dayton
instead of to Cincinnati, where a
market was found, saving of about
so miles in the round trip.
Bring Back Dry Goods.
consisted of wheat, flour, corn meal,
bacon, pork dried apples, maple sugar,
butter and even eggs. In those return
ing, there were dry goods, iron, pro-
visions, salt, whiskey, pewter vessels
and numerous articles. BY wheat only
being thirty-one cents per bushel, but
ter &c pound and eggs &c dozen,
the amount of cash brought back was
usually not very large.
These old trail roads not being very
wide, the narrow-tired wheels cut the
roads until they became well-nigh i'm
passable in many places This requir-
ed frequent changing of the track
through the timber, around fallen trees
or thickets of underbrush, and above
all, selecting better places for stream
and creek crossings, as here the pulls
seemed to be the most difficult. It
was not unusual for these wagon
trains to be delayed with stalled
teams. When this cid occur, it often
required the combined efforts of six
and even eight horses to pull the
wagons out Transfers as well as far
mers realizing this, were careful in
selecting their horses and oxen before

Candy for the Soldiers

The young women of the nation have respond
ed to the call of the boys in Mexico for candy and
sweets. Almost every express train that reaches
Columbus N. NJ, contains a consignment of
chocolates for the boys in blue and khaki A six
ty-pound parcel was carried to Colonel Dodds
forces by aeroplane, the medical officers recog-
nizing its value as food.
The candy shipments might be interpreted as
manifestations of misplaced sentiment were it
not for the conviction that the same girls who
sent the candy, would, in case of war; devote as
much time to the making of bandages and hospi-
tai supplies. The nation hopes that the latter
exigency may not arise, but if it does the country
knows the girls will be willing to do their share to
give relief to the boys at the front.

Wagons Hand Made.
Moving wagons as we'll as those
used by wagoners, were hand made,
constructed of the very best oak and
hickory-elm. All wheels were of the
narrow tread" kind, having narrow
rims and tires. The beds we're canoe
shaped being higher at each end, with
curvey bottom. In the east, these
wagon-beds were called Yankee
beds, while in the west they were call
ed Prairie Schooners." These were
all canvass covered, consisting of
homemade linen or duck, drawn tight

bows. At this time in this locality

In case Of farmer having too many
hogs to butcher and haul as dressed
pork, there was no other way, than to
drive them through on foot to Cincin-
natl. 1t is needless to state, that the
porkers at that time, were not fat like
the hogs of today. If this was the
case it would have been impossible
for them to have withstood the trip.

VEGETABLE
CALOMEL

Vegetable calomel, extract of the
root Of the old-fashioned may-apple
plant, does not salivate. AS liver
stimulator, it's great. It's a per-
feet substitute for ordinary calo-
mel (mercury); in fact, it's better,
because its action is gentle instead
of severe and irritating - and it
leaves no mean, disagreeable after
effects. Physicians recognize this
and prescribe may-apple root (po-
dophyllin, they call it, daily.
Combined with four other stand

$3o,OOO,OOO Worth Of Greasy Pork

The S39, 100000 river and harbor pork barrel
has passed the house by vote of 200 to 1873, with
southern Democrats solidy in favor of the meas
ure and few northern Democrats and Republi-
cans supporting the bill. Only four Indiana rep
resentatives helped shove the bill over to the
senate They are Wood, Adair, Cline and Cox.
Representative Gray of the Sixth district voted
against the measure. Adair was the choice of
Indiana Democrats for the gubernatorial nomin-
alton at the recent primary. Opponents of pork
say the bill is designed to favor the dredging con-
cenrns. 1t is hoped that the senate will take a
considerable portion of the grease out of the
annual pork barrel before it is enacted into law.

Green Drivers

The death and accident record hung up by
automobiles in Chicago last year was 238 killed
and 3,289 injured, according to Judge SABBATH,
president of the Citizens Traffic and Safety
Commission. He points accusing finger at
inexperienced drivers.
Scores of new machines will be seen on Rich
mond streets in few weeks. New owners ought
not venture on Main street or other streets heavy
with traffic until they have absolute control over
their machines and know how to come to sud-
den stop if danger of death injury threatens.

BY WALTER RATLIFF.

Emigrants to Wayne County, Indi-
ana, after reaching Cincinnati, took
the old "blazed-trail'' route northward
through Hamilton and Eaton to Rich
mond, Indiana. The first section of
this road out of Cincinnati was rough,
stony, hilly and winding, crossed by
numerous creeks and small streams.
The Great Miami river was forded at
Hamilton. Between here and Eaton,
the roadway practically followed the
valley of little creek for many
mi.,s. From there on the roadway to
Richmond. although over a more level
section of the country. there were
found numerous steep hills and bad
stream cossings.
This old trail route was used by en-
igrants for many years, and that too
through the period of Indiana hostili-
ties. With the Miami Tribe occupying
Western Ohio, the movers were in con-
slant danger of molestation. This fact
caused them to travel cautiously dur
ing the day and select protected places
to remain through the night. Although
no accounts are at hand regarding any
disturbances with the savages, there
was much anxiety felt regarding the
danger OF ATTACKS OF river Cl1eF6S
that were. said to have infested the
Ohio valley at that time.
New Route Opened.
Teaming to Cincinnati soon develop
ed, and as this route was not al
together satisfactory, a new route"
road was opened to Hamilton Joining
the other road to Cincinnati. 1t pass
ed through the little villages of Bos-
ton, Ind, and Fairhaven, o., crossing
Four-mile creek near Darrtown, short
ening the distance to about 20 miles.
On the new route, there were several
tlvern houses that were built to ac-
eommodate wagoners between the two
cities. These tayerns were construct
ed so as to furnish separate quarters
for each set of movers. 1t is said that
one of these buildings had eight, sep
arate entrances. The hostleries in
which were kept the teams and oxen
were large, low flat-roof barns used
for stabling as we'll as shelter for
loaded wagons. Drivers generally slept
near their horses, with some extra men
hunked in the wagons.

A two-horse wagon was taken along
containing corn to feed on the way,
together with some provisions and
with such help as was necessary for
the trip. The wagon was used also
to haul such hogs as would grow lame

SpecuIates in Hogs.
The late Daniel B. Crawford (1S07-
1906), a farmer living northwest Of
the city, took a drove of hogs to Gin
cinnati. He had purchased the lot
from different men, and drove them to
Cincinnati as a means of speculation.
On arriving with his hogs, the price
had fallen so that he lost enough to
equal the value of his farm. On his
return to Richmond, he offered An
drew F. Scott a deed to his land for
the money he had borrowed in the
transaction. Andrew would not accept
it but prevailed upon Daniel to try
the game again. Offering to furnish
the necessary funds. Taking his adj
vice Daniel doubled his former invest
ment, and with a determination to
regain his loss, he drove his second
lot of hogs to Cincinnati. Fortunately
the price of pork advanced, and his
profits were SO large that on the sale
of his porkers he not only was able
to return the purchase money for this
lot but paid the loss sustained on his
former trip.

Gentle Rubbing
Helps Verbose Veins

Rubbing the swollen veins nightly
for about two minutes with a gentle
upward stroke brings benefit to suf-

an authority.
After the rubbing, which should
always be toward the heart, because
the blood in the veins flows that way,
apply Emerald Oil (full strength with
brush or hapd.

a few days and improvement will be

About two miles northeast OF Su'

which are made up largely of igneous
rocks in the form of volcanic necks
sheets intruded into the stratified
rocks, and dikes cutting across the
sedimentary strata. Associated with
these intrusive rocks are volcanic cones
and lava flows. These rocks have long
been objects OF scientific interest be-
cause of their unusual character. Late
