John r. Patterson

The person of whom I write is
John T. Patterson who died one day
| last week at Mauston, Wis He was
the son of James and Polly Patter-

the same school, and were in the
same classes. At the breaking out
of the Civil war in 1861 he enlisted
in Co. C. 1872 Regt. of o. V. I. and
was promoted to drum Major
of the regiment, soon after
enlistment. He served in the
war till the surrender of General
Lee at Appomattox to U. S. Grant,
and participated in number of the
hard fought battles of the war. One
of the battles that was at Winches-
ter, Va, commanded by General
Millroy, the regiment being sur
rounded by Jackson, the order was
given by the Gen. for them to cut
their way out which they did and
went to Harper's Ferry. Com. Is
rael Fouts of McConnelsville was
sergeant in the same Co. The de-
ceased was an uncle to Miss Besse

tersons of the McKendree neighbor-
hood. He was married twice, his
first wife's maiden name was Bell

WYOMING LETTER
GIVES ANOTHER VIEWPOINT
Casper Wyo.. March. 13 1922

Casper Wyo., March, 13, 1922.
Editor of Democrat We receiv-
ed our Morgan County Democrat OF
/ March and read the piece on life
/ in Wyoming by a resident of Parker
ton, Wyoming, a station built in
one of the greatest oil producing
fields in the country, Big Muddy. II
Is true that we have had rather disa-
| greeable winter for Wyoming but if
it SHOWS it often disappears within
twenty-four hours because of the
warm or chinook winds which sweep
the plains Casper is a city of 90
600 people in which is located the
second largest refinery in the U. S.,
at this time refining over So 900 bar
rels of oil each day
Fresh vegetables are almost al
ways obtainable and fresh eggs are
always in the market. Of course
there are eggs which are not strict
ly fresh but in what town are there
not?
Six hundred and forty acres are
offered by the government to the
people who are willing and have the
time to work for it. At the present
time the ground seems almost
worthless because IL mas received
no care but the few ranches which
have been proved up on and taken
care Of show marked improvement.
We also have our fields of corn,
wheat, oats, ETC., while back against
the hills are nestled genuine, COM
Portable houses (instead of all
shacks as the reader might be led
to believe by former statements), ov-
erlooking beautiful scenery with the
stately mountains rising in the dis
tance. Money makes less difference
here than any place else, I believe,
in the whole United States Except
perhaps Morgan county,. People
residing in the largest and most
prominent houses and holding the
most influential positions, mingle
with those living in one-room
house and working for $500 each
day and enjoy it, l hope that this
may also be printed in your paper
because this will serve as another
view point so that our friends may
not hold such disagreeable thoughts
of Wyoming, as 1 fear they might if
they were to judge solely from one
description.
Yours truly,
Miss Georgia Reeves,
Formerly of Malta. Student in
Casper high.

Get Into the Race
Are you feeling more cheerful
now that spring is here? Does it
make your blood run by leaps and
bounds? Does it give you new en-
ergy to know that the best part Of
the year is coming? If thoughts of
spring do not make you feel more
ambitious, more happy and more
confident, there is something wrong
with your makeup. You are out of
tune with yourself and nature
Probably you had a hard time
during the winter, but there is
something about the contemplation
of warmer and brighter days, with
pleasant weather, that should
arouse our enthusiasm and hope
that spring will bring more joy. We
should all plan to make spring the
time of our best efforts, plan to
make it fitting ending for our
year of school work. Spring should
call out the best that is in us.
You must forget your troubles of
the past. so far as influencing your
future. Live in the future, work
for the future, exert yourself with
the belief that the future contains
your best good. Perk up. Dive into
your work with vim and momen-
tum that cannot be over.

Prune Black Knots from Plum Trees
Are your plum trees affected with
black knot? If so, it is important
to cut out the knots before the
leaves appear, according to the de-
partment of botany, Ohio Expert
ment Station. Black knot usually
first appears on the outermost twigs
and tips of limbs. 1t forms a knot
easily distinguishable. Usually the
tip above the knots dies; the infec-
ton then becomes deeper seated un-
til the entire tree is killed. The
knots may be removed most easily
during pruning time.
