Next morning. Thursday, we
awoke eighteen miles from
Washington. D. G. We ate
breakfast in Washington, but
our train didn't get up to the
station, for some cause we were
stopped and only touched the
edge of the city.
At 9:10 we were in Baltimore,
stopping there for only a short
time.
We pulled into Philadelphia at
1920, was getting noon mess
and there we were again met by
Red Cross girls who gave US
Cocoa, sandwiches and ice
also cigaretts and cigars.
One thirty two o'clock we
could see the smoke from the
plants of New York and the near
cities. At $50 we arrived at
Jersey City, which ended our
train ride. There we freshened
up an appetite by removing bag
gage from our train to the Ferry
which carried us around the har-
Der to Long Island city, where
we entrained for our camp only
a rs mile ride.
On the ferry boat we passed
near "The Statute of Liberty

singer and other sky scrapers
buildings of New York City. We
also passed under the great ex.
tention bridges and near the
Brooklyn ship yards.
Leaving our boat at Long Is
land city, we had another trans
fere of baggage which tequiret
only a few minutes as trucks
were plentiful and we proved
ourselves good draft horses. a

The first large town at which
we stopped was Parkersburg, w.
Va. There we first saw the angel
life smile and welcome of the
Red Cross girls.
There was a bunch of them
met our train and treated us to
refreshments, smokes, and mag
azines and wished us God speed
as we steamed out of the town.
Soon after leaving Parkersburg
we reached the hills and coal re-
gion, In which section we went
thru number of tunnels, most
of them being short, therefore
we did not close our windows.
Noon we came to a long tunnel,
without warning, and there we
thought that we we're getting
German gas, as we were nearly
suffocating, but it all passed in a
laugh.
At $50 p. m. we stopped at
Central Station w. Va, where
we bought apples from little
Riddles who have learned to run
out the troop trains for pennys
which the soldiers pitch on the
ground and laugh at the kiddies
scramble for them.
| At $40 we stopped at station
where we could see nothing but
freight cars.
From here we pulled out with
two engines which assured Vi
that we were nearing the noun

to witness it. The combatants
would when the fight was pre-
arranged sometimes strip to the
waist, and in prize ring fashion
fight it out, and there were al
ways men around to see that the
fair thing was done, and that no
one interferred.
When the fight was over, it
was regarded as settlement of
the matter, and often the par

1t is not generally known, but
it is a fact that between the
years 1910 and 1850, salt was
made in the county for home
consumption, and for shipment
to other counties.
Wells were drilled on Green riv-
er and Casey Creek, and perhaps
at other places. About three
miles below Neatsville, on Green
river, d very rich stream of salt
water was struck from which
thousands of bushels of salt were
made, people coming from other
counties for it. The well fur.
nished from one hundred to one
hundred and fifty bushels of salt
per week, and it was sold at one
dollar per bushel. The pumping
was done by horse power. Hon.
w. F. Neat, now an octonegeriap,
informs me that when he was a
lad, he remembers driving the
horse till midnight on one &C.
casion in pumping, for which he
received a peck of salt.
tits sometimes said of fel.
low after he is grown up, that
che is not worth his SALT" but
this cannot be said of our life
long old friend. He was earning
his before he reached his teens.
In the building of houses in
the early days of the county, the
wooden pin played an important
part. Nails were used sparingly
and were of home manufacture.
Some of these old pioneer nails
came to light three or four years
ago, when an old house was torn
down to make room for a new
one.
A paper mill in what is now
Russell county, manufactured
the paper on which the deeds,
wills and other records in our
office were written for quite a
time. Some of us are not 50
young as not to remember the
old loom down in the back room,
the spinning wheel, the tallow
candle and shutters, the candle
molds, and other things, now
out of date, that were indispen.
sable in every household, even in
our day.
Many of these things have
long ago been consigned to the
scrap heap, or, if preserved a
all, they are preserved as a re
hinder of the past.

We passed right near a Red
cross canteen where we could
see them making sanwitches and
of course we knew it was for us.
When we were all ready to en-
train, the men mostly in the cars
thinking they had guessed wrong
a bunch of US were sent over to
get the eats. The girls came
along and again we enjoyed
sandwiches and coffee and also
nice chat with the girls.

next day, but most of the boys
preferred their hunks instead of
the bright lights of New York.
We have been getting off at
noon each day and report back
to our quarters at 6:15 next
morning.
So we are being treated grand,
seeing New York and its
points of interest, of which I
shall tell you latter.

see.
In the bottom near the bridge
on the north side of Russell's
Creek, was where the old race
track used to run. At an earlier
day its course could be traced
around the bend in the stream,
but time has removed the marks
of this sporting place. 1t was
here the speed of the horses was
tried, and the small change of
the sportsman changed hands.
Doubtless, there were lively
times around this old track-dog
fights. chicken fights, and lastly
men fights, for one kind of fight
ing led to the other.
Fighting used to be a more
popular pastime than it is now,
and was conducted very differ
emily. 1t was INDUCED in es-
pecially at the races on court
days, and at elections. The old
time three days elections af-
forded fine opportunities for the
display of pugilistic skill. and a
county court day seldom passed
without one or more fistcuffs.
Sometimes it was understood in
advance that on a certain day a
fight would occur between Ger.
tain persons, but more frequent
ly they came about without pre-
arrangement under the stimulat-
ing effects of mean liquor pro.
cured at the corner groceries.
In those days the carrying of
concealed deadly weapons for
the settlement of difficulties was
not a very common practice.
The gun was very seldom the
resort of brave man. 1t was
regarded as cowardly to attempt
such an advantage of an antag-
onist. The gun came into more
general use after the civil war.
Nearly every town or county
had its bully" and he was
known from one county to an
other. He was proud of his rep
utation as such. On all public
days he was a conspicuous man
on the streets and ready for a
fight. The chip was on his
shoulder, and woe to the man
who knocked it off.
When a bully came from one
county to another, it created g
condition like that which arises
when a game rooster is dropped
into a barnysrd when another
holds sway-a fight was inevita
BILE, but it did not result in tht
fatality which attends modern
encounters. 1t was more a tes
. of strength. and skill and cour
age. The best man carried of
the honors of the day. He coult
strike, kick, choke, gouge, u.s.
fists or feet, and in an emergen
2 cy teeth, but a deadly weapon
, was the resort OF the coward.
When a man said enough,
that ended the fight.

At the time of his death several years ago, Mir. Henderson valued the Lista Blanca mines at $35O, O,OOO They are worth more than that now. Harry had gone to Pasadena in the hopes of being able to pass physical examination for service in Uncle Sam's. great National army, but was doomed to disap. He was rejected on account of bad eyes. Harry, who is the administrator of the estate of his father, is ably assisted in the management of the I4ista Blanca, which is a regular shipper, by his brother John. The ore is hauled to Santa Ana, a station on the Sonora railway, from where it is shipped to the El PaSo smelter.
