A Story of Olden Days

(By Mrs. Robt. Saunders)
The first hotel in Brockway Cen
tire, now Yale, was kept by Vim
cent Ferguson when Yale was
almost wilderness and it was To-
Gated where the Rapley house used
to stand. He set out the orchard
which stands on the same place
today.
Mr.. Ferguson was well known
all through st. Clair county. He
came to Brockway Centre over 65
years ago and kept the hotel for a
number of years.
There were only a few settlers
then. His son James Ferguson,
jr., enlisted in the Civil war and
never returned, nor was he ever
heard from again.
Anthony Welch kept grocery
store just south of the hotel, and
here the Indians used to do their
trading in the spring before they
went with their squaws to the
north where they used to make
baskets, returning in the fall
There was one Indian named John
Brown. He left 4 little basket
with us which we have yet.

WANTS NEW TRIAL
OF WILL CONTEST
Wife of Abner Jackson Claims
Sympathies of Jurors
Worked

A motion for a new trial of the
claim against the will of the late
Abner E. Jackson, former we'll
known hotel keeper of Yale and
Capac, has been filed by Mrs.
Nellie Jackson, widow of the de-
ceased, on the ground of INSULT
cient evidence showing that the
hotel keeper had been unduly in
fluenced at the time of making
his will.
The widow also claims that the
sympathies of the jurors who tried
the case had been falsely aroused
by reference to conversations that
took place Is years before the
death of her husband, by testi-
mony showing drunkenness on
her part, and by further testimony
showing immoral relations be-
tween one Leveque and herself.
Mrs. Josephine White, daugh-
ter of the deceased and Franklyn
Jackson, young nephew. were
awarded the verdict of the jury at
the hearing of the case. Walsh &
Walsh represented them at the
court proceedings.
Following the verdict of the
jury a motion asking that the will
be sustained was denied after ar
gument. Attorneys Lincoln Avery
and Geo. Watson represented
Mrs. Jackson.

The paper on National airs by
Mrs. Greenman was of extreme in
terest, holding the closest atten-
tion of those present. 1t was a
paper written in splendid style,
furnishing many items of import
ant knowledge to the music lover.
The National airs of the various
countries, their authors and bits
of history, were sketched and the
whole production was we'll worth
the hearty words of approval
given.

Rev. John Thompson, of Chica-
go, paid Minden City short visit
between trains Tuesday. Rev.
Thompson is a former pastor of
the M. E. church of this city, Min
den being his first charge when
he emigrated from England. His
quaint way of expressing his
thoughts and his originality gave
him large audiences.
Ills talents gave him better
charges to fill and he is now pas
tor of one Of the largest churches
in Chicago. They are building a
new four million dollar church for
him, seventy-five feet higher than
the Masonic building, the highest
building in Chicago. His congre-
cation, composed of large
wealthy and influential class, gave
him present last Christmas of a
purse containing one hundred
thousand dollars. AS he viewed
the old landmarks in this city and
aw his old parsonage and church
he was filled with emotion. AS he
ascended the pulpit in which he
preached his first sermon in Amer
lea, the tears filled his eyes.
The above is taken from the
Minden City Herald. Thompson
held a pastorate at Yale and has
preached at Peck on several oc-
casions. He has several rela-
tives at Melvin, and was married
70 Miss Stanley, a resident of that
Iplace.

annual spring town meetin
was concerned, was as quiet as a
Sunday down on the farm.
The weather was fine, just the
right kind for a good political
scrap, but there was nothing doing
With only one ticket in the field
all interest in local affairs seemed
to have died Immediately after the
primaries. Out of nearly 600 en-
rolled voter only 259 exercised
their rights and voted on the city
ticket. Perhaps the soldiers bon
us amendment was much to blame
for the total being as large as it
was. This amendment certainly
got fine majority in this city
1856 yes and 66 no.
The amendment providing for
money for the soldiers bonus has
carried in the state by a large
majority, and the entire Republi-
can ticket is elected.
Following are the city officers
elected -
Mayor-Chas. w. Jacobs
Clerk-Geo. 3. Green.
Treasurer-Wm. F. Rub
Supervisor-N. B. Herbert
Alderman, 1st ward-Chas. Barr
