ished for going home the first night
with a school mate without asking
permission of the teacher. The I'M
fortunate one received the sympathy
of the scholars. With the arrival of
/ the warm days, contagious cough
prevailed among the youths, and some
attendance The farmers persisted
in their efforts to raise crops, and
little thin lines of frail Indian maize
were coaxed to survive the heat and
the absence of rain. In those years
spring wheat was the main wheat, as
the common belief prevailed that the
land was to be rich and damp for win
ter wheat to survive the severity of
winter. With the dry summer of
1858, there appeared an overwhelming
invasion of chintz bugs, which pretty
effectively devoured the wheat, and
then moved over into adjacent fields
of corn and other crops.
| The mile of willow hedge plants
which Mr. McGinniss planted around
his south farm, all dried and failed.
To its credit be it said that the sum-
mer of 1868 was blessed with a gem
Ierous crop of peaches, along with the
little lane connecting the school yard
out to the main road The widow
Tull had many peach trees which
dropped their branches over the rail
fence, and in their proper season ripe
fruit would be common along the lane.
The boys noticed them One sleepy
day in June, the writer and father
were in the corn field north of the

way. On the south in a near field
several of the colored youths of Green
leaf were engaged. They were scat
tered around and were doing very lit
tie service Their devotions were
elsewhere. Resting on his hoe, a
young darby called over to my father
with the remark: "Mr. Blimes, don't
you think it's time to quit work for
noon?" Father pleasantly answered
that he thought it was about ten
O'clock and little early for midday
cessation of labor. Silently and slow
ly the darkies moved along, thinking
of an enterprise which the colored
members were entertaining.
The object so dearly at heart, was
their exodus to a near land of free
dom, namely, Lee county, Iowa. At
this point the historical essentials of
the narrative are stated to place the
subject in it's true existence. 1t is
somewhat curious revelation to know
that at this late date, fifty-seven years
after the final date of the presidents

general populace consider that the
