The agitation for state division
has been revived, and strange to
say the first expression we have
noted on the subject for quite a
while came from Cincinnati, the
Enquirer publishing a leading ed
itorial on the matter The idea
seems to be regarded with favor
both in Tampa and Pensacola, but
there seems to be little cnthusi-
assn = stirring. Our attitude
in the matter is tentative, but
rather leaning towards division.
Like our Socialist friends, we are
always willing to divide, provided
it is nothing belonging to us per-
sonally that is to be affected by
the division. But the natural line
of division would create the State
of South Florida, which would in
clude only the peninsular portion
of the State. What is usually call
ed North Florida is not unlike
West Florida in climate, soil,
products and general interests;
but South Florida is distinctly a
section sui generis, with little in
coomon with the rest of the tef-
ritory now included in the
State of Florida. Division is
all right, provided the division is
rightly accomplished. = Lake
land Telegram.

Nettie Lords Great Grand.
father Came From
Virginia

Dear Editor and Juniors:
AS l like to read the Courier Junior
very much I always look forward to
Thursday night as the best in the
week.
am going to write a short story
about my ancestors.
My great grandfather, Joseph Cald-
we'll. came from Virginia, and my
great grandmother, Lovenia Caldwell,
came from Pennsylvania to Missouri
where they met and were married.
After a short time they decided to
come to Iowa where two brothers of
my great grandfather had taken up
claims which had just been opened
by the government. On the way my
grandfather was born.
They were among the first settlers
of Ottumwa. The first table made in
Ottumwa was made for my great
grandmother. 1t a made by hand,
NV mother has this table yet.
My great grandfather fought in the
Union army in the Civil war from be-
ginning to end. He went in as a cap
tain and came out as a colonel. He
died soon after the war. His death
was caused by wounds received dur
ing the war. My mother has the
sword he used. 1t is big and very
heavy and very different from the
swords used now.
My grandfather, Van H. Caldwell

but my g.eat grandfather vas =
union man. He was no slave owner
and never took any part in the war.
My mamma says they would talk for

the soldiers Of the civil rrar. @
In 1890 they moved to kenton, Tenn.
where they owned a bearti.>,I home
and stock farm. My great grandfather

The EackwoOds Hero - by
Fred MurE!.I =

Far in the backwoOds Ct North Car.
DINA lived a family named Jones WHO
besides the man and wife was their
only son, a BY OF about II years of
age, whose nalne was William; (but
we will call him Bid. This was in
the same time the revolutionary war
was going on.
Now the Jones family was very
patriotic and would love to have help
ed that great cause, but as Mr.. Jones
was crippled he could not fight for
his country. So Bill asked perm..-
sion of his father and mother to go
to war. This they granted him but
not without grieving.
Not far from Bills home lived a
girl of perhaps Bills age. This girls
name was Edith Dixon and she was
Bills sweetheart. To this home Bill
went. He met his sweetheart at the
door of the cabin. They went inside
the cabin and sat down to talk. Bill
told Edith he was going to war and
Of course she was sorry to see him
go but it could be helped. Then Bill
asked Edith to MARI him after the
war. To this she readily consented,
then after lie kissed her good-by he
! took his musket iii his hand and start
ed off. .. ..,.
He went to the patriot encampment
not three miles distant and joined the
army. He was enlisted in a Captain
Nichols regiment. After a week or
more the patriot army marched on
ward to capture CORVALLIS, the com.
mander in chief of all the British
! soldiers in America. AS they neared
Yorktown they closed in on Corn
| wallis army. The regiment Bill was
in was a part of the patriot left wing.
! Just as morning dawned a fierce at
tack made by the British on the patriot
left wing commenced. The British
we're repulsed three times but the
| fourth time the patriots failed to hold
them back and the British entered
the patriot breastworks. But at this
moment a patriot ran out of the lines
carrying the American flag. 1t was
Bill Jones. He ran straight for the
! British lines with the patriot left
wing close behind him. The British
were so surprised at this unexpected
, action that they broke and fed. After
/ the British were at some distance
away the patriot soldiers turned to
the boy and cheered and cheered him
as the "backwoOds hero"
Next day Bill was promoted to lieu.
tenant and a week later CORVALLIS
surrendered and the war ended.
Bill was honorably discharged and
went home Immediately. One year
later Bill and Edith were married and
lived happily ever afterwards.
