When a YOUNG man Mr.. Braswell

He also has pocketbook made
from huckskin which has been in the
family for one hundred and seventy
years. II is fairly well preserved. So
far as | can learn ii was first owned
by Wade Braswell who was the great
grandfather of the subject of this
sketch.
Mr. Braswell has a wonderful men,
ory and relates many incidents which
happened in the long ago, Although
a very small hoy at the time he dis
tinctly remembers the falling of the
stars in 1882 He says this was one
of the most unusual incidents he
ever witnessed. He relates many in
teres,ins thines which took place
during the famous log Cabin and
Hard Cider Campaign" waged by the
Wings in 1910 when Harrison was
elected president He attended hig
barbecue and speaking which was
held at the resil nee Of the late
Mos CuthhertSon, now owned by
Mr.. John 4. McCollum. and saw one
Of the famous log cabins which were
on WAGONS and driven over
tire country during this exciting po-
litical campaign.
The campaign Of 1913 in which
James X Polk was elected president
is still fresh in his memory and he
can sing many of the SONGS sung dur
ing this campaign in which James
X. Polk OF Tennessee can poke some
folks but he can't poke me"
could go on indefinitely but dhis
sketch has already grown too long. A
patriotic soldier in war. a faithful
citizen in peace. sood neiehbor. a
self-sacrificing father. devoted hus-
band and a consecrated follower of
the lowly Nl7arene. he has never
sought to accumulate great deal of
this worlds goods but rather to lay
up for himself treasures in heaven
where neither moth nor rust can cor
rupt. May he be permitted TO live
many more years among our people
and may his last days on this earth
he days Of peace and happiness.
