Studle,, hanover county, Va,

rick Henry, the 186th anniversa-
ry Of whose birth occurred yes
terday. was Governor of Virginia
when Kentucky first became part
Of Fincastle county, Virginia,
and afterward when it was or
gained as Kentucky county.
In the land office at Frankfort
are many recorded patents for
many pieces CT land in eastern
Kentucky which he signed, and

file there which he signed but
which never were delivered.
One of the patents on file in
the office is for a tract of land
allotted to Squire Boone, brother
of Daniel Boone, and second only
to that pioneer as an explorer Of
Kentucky. Squire Boones, like
his brother, Daniel, had little ex-
perience in the business world
and in his later days lost all of
his property through land sharks
who hunted up better titles to
land than he held. In 1904 he
was Gin prison bounds" in Louis
vile for debt, but was freed by
his friends and. in 1906 he went
to Indiana, where he died in what
is now Harrison county, in 1915.
Patrick Henry, prior to be-
coming governor of Virginia, in
IVA made an arrangement with
William Byrd, John Page and
Col. William Christian to pur-
chase lands from the Cherokeec
in what is now Kentucky. This
project, however, was later aban-
doned.

l need not calculate for you

mean to our brave little army

A gusher on 400 acres in an

mean hundreds of thousands
dollars for the unit holders in

Our capitalization of SIS 900
is so small when compared
with the tremendous wealth
yielding possibilities of a big
