The article appearing in the Herald
/ last week relating to Mr.. w. E. Grigs-
/ by, a former resident of Potosi but
now of San Jose, Calf, was read
with much pleasure by the few old
| timers yet living in Potosi. The writ
err can truthfully say that | am now
past II years old and that l knew Mr..
| Grigsby from my early youth. He
| lived on a farm about two miles
/ north of the village of Potosi and in
! those bygone days it was the delight
| Of the young people, as we'll as some
of the older ones, to go out to Grigs-
by's place and enjoy good old time
/ dancing in his large barn. Mr. and
/ Mrs. Grigsby were lovers of com
pany and always entertained their
guests in q real pleasant manner. Mr.
Grigsby was very fond of dancing and
it was always his delight to mingle
with the young people and share in
their pleasures. Besides Mr.. and
Mrs. Grigsby there were five daugh-
ters and one son in the family. II
we remember rightly their names
were Alice, Mrs. Henry Mccartney
deceased; Phoebe, Florence, Jose
phine and Emma and son Melvin. Mr.
| Grigsby visited here a few years ago
but number of his old friends living
here at that time have passed away
Those few who are still here con-
graduate him on his one hundred
years of life and wish him many
! more years of pleasure.

Pat Woods, life guard at Shields
Grove lake, Byrd park, was yes
terday sworn in by City Clerk Al
fred H. Mcdowell as a special po-
lice officer with power of arrest.
Mr.. Woods is son of Captain Pat
Woods, who was the central figure
in an interesting case fifty years
years ago in Richmond.
Captain Woods, a fiery Confede-
rate, was approached by "Yan-
kee" congressman, the Hon. John
Porter. of Pennsylvania, who de-
manded to know how Woods had
voted. The latter responded by
knocking the congressman down.
A negro, who went to the assist
ance Of Porter, was severely thrash
ed by Woods. Woods was arrested
for assaulting a federal officer. He
was taken to Washington for trial,
convicted and sent to prison for 8
months. The case excited intense
feeling against the federal officials
throughout the Southern country,
the War Between the States having
ended only.a year earlier. The trial
of Woods was reported in the news
papers throughout the United States
and Pat Woods became national
celebrity. While the trial was in
progress he was moved several
times from Richmond to Washing
ten. For long time he was held
a prisoner in the state capitol
building here under heavy federal
guard.
Young Pat Woods inherited the
powerful physical build of the
doughty Confederate. He is about
Sc years old; weighs 100 pounds, has
the sturdy shoulders and big biceps
of a wrestler and is an all round
athlete. Last Saturday he made
his first arrest at the lake, where
he is serving as life guard. He
took into custody youth whom he
caught molesting several young
girls Richmond Journal.

Over fifty years ago a young
physician practiced widely in n
rural district and became famous
for his uniform success in the
curing Of disease. This was DR..
Pierce, who afterwards estab-
lished himself in Buffalo, N. Y,
and placed one of his prescriptions,
which he called Golden Medical
Discovery" in the drug stores of
!. the United,State SO that the pub
lie could easily obtain this, very
remarkable tonic, corrective and
blood maker, DIR. Pierce manu-
featured this 'AIoiscovery" from
'aroots and bafKs- corrective
remedy, the ingredients of which
nature had put in the fields and
forests, for keeping us healthy.
Few folks or families now living
have not sometime or other used
this Golden Medical Discovery"
for the stomach, liver and heart.
Over twenty four million bottles
Of this tonic and blood remedy
hzye been sold in this country.

STAY ON THE FARM

A reader complains of the slump
in farm products and he asks, "Shall
stay on the farm as long as the
bank will stay by me or shall | go to
town where ] can get job at So a
day?
As farmer, this man has credit at
the bank and business standing.
That's something.
AS a wage Garner he couldn't Dor
row 10 cents at the bank. Neither he
nor the banker would know how long
he ctuld hold his. 5-dollar job.
Town jobs are not so plentiful as
they were. They are coming down.
The current is turning from town to
country. If this man believes he can
swim against it let him try.
But even if farm products are get
ting the short end of the defiation
process, as necessarily they will as
long as farmers are not adequately or
gained, this is poor time to quit
the farm. Five dollars day does
very little for family in town.
Moreover, it should be easier farm
ing next year. Labor has been on the
auction block and the farmer has been
an unsuccessful bidder for man pow
er--but the auction block is shrinking.

FISHIN'

Fishin' teaches me lot!
There's no sure an certain spot
Where I'll always catch a mess,
Hame to hunt it, more or less;
Sometimes strike it right away,
And therell come another day
When I'll have to work like sin
Fore ! get big one in;
Change the bait an move along,
Where the currents not so stsrong
Or the wind can't get a sweep
Or the pools aren't quite so deep,
Till at last / chance to light
On a place where they will bite.
Fishin' teaches me to wait
Patiently an try my bait;
Lets me know on many day
| can't always have my way,
Things aren't going to suit my whim.
| must stick with patience grim
If know that am right
Till at last they start to bite;
Times I've hooked beauty, and
Worked a half an hour to land
Him alongside O. the boat,
Then he's spit it from his throat,
Jumped the hook an got away
Learned right then from Mister Fish
| can't always have my wish;
Things won't go the way choose,
There are times I'm bound to lose,
Times I'm just about to win,
An | think the prize is in
Reach O. me, somehow I find
That the fates have changed their
mind.
So it is with life, guess,
Mixed with failure an success.
Gain and loss are bound to fall
In proportions to us all;
Patient, we must work an plan
Just like every fisherman.

DIFFERENCES

When the American Wooden Co,
closed its mills, to keep up prices,
that wasn't strike, but good bust
ness, regrettable but necessary.
When farmers propose to hold their
grain for fair prices, that is a strike,
un-American.
When the State of New York starts
out to build two state grain elevators
to aid the grain dealers and exporters
in that state, that's fine and just CO.
operation.
When North Dakota would build a
terminal elevator for farmers, that's
revolutionary, paternalstic, class leg
islation.
Funny how things are fine and dan
dy until they get mixed up with the
farmers.

that enables me to forget my troubles.

album last evening. and saw the pic

There was picture Of old Aunt
Betsy, who used to come to our house
once In while, on a visit, and as soon
as she came she took charge Of every
thing. She knew how to do things
better than anybody else, and she was
always criticising my mothers meth
ODDS. Whenever mother started to do
anything, Aunt Betsy would take the
Job out of her hands, saying she would
show the right way to do 1t.
Il had heard somewhere that II you
put drop or two of acetic acid in
a gallon of cream, that cream will
never make butter. had a great
<memory for such facts, and kept them
on file where they. would be useful.
One morning mother said she would
have to churn, and she got things
ready. II knew that as soon as she
started Aunt Betsy would want to
show her how 1t should be done, so
when had chance, dropped some
Of the acid into the ichurn, which was
one Of those old upright affairs, with
dasher that you worked up and
down antIk the butter caras.
Mother seated herself on q stool
and began Sburning. and then Aunt
Betsy came along, and SAID that while
she was a modest and .unassuming
woman, she did claim to know a lit
tie more about churning than anyhodyl
Of her weight in that partSk tiie
country. Let me do 1t, my dear. .safd
she. ,'and I'll have butter in seven
minutes by the clock So she took
hold of the dasher and began slapping
away with 1t. She worked and worked,
and the sweat began rolling down her
face, and every once In while she'd
