forces in this end of the county in
the recent gubernatorial cam

work for Robinson, but he has
openly declared himself against
Robinson in the present senatorial

ed Robinson governor because they
wanted him to carry out certain
reforms advocated by him, and
that they have a right to expect
him to make some effort to redeem
the pledges he made to the peo

broken faith with the people in
entering the senatorial contest.

SOME SIDELIGHTS
ON EARLY HISTORY
Well Known Citizen Tells Inter
esting Story oi Early Days
in This Section
J. A. Greenhaw, who lives a few
miles east of Newport in the Vil
lage creek neighborhood, and who
spends quite a good deal of his
time here with his daughter, Mrs.
J. E. Porter, is perhaps one of the
best posted men in this section,
with regard to the traditional his
tory and folk-lore concerning the
early settlement of this country.
He has been a close student and
a great thinker and is able to
point a moral from many of the
occurrences incident to the early
settlement of this country.
He knows many of the Indian
traditions andean relate the dt
tails of quite a number of occuij
rencesjthat have made local history
both in Independence and Jackson
counties.
For instance, a Journal reporter
learned from him a few days ago
that Newport, instead of being a
comparatively new town, is one of
the oldest settlements in Jackson
county. The original Newport,
however, was a short distance be
low the present site of the town of
Newport,h it there was a settlemnt
and boat-landing there known as
Newport as far back as 75 years
ago. Litchfield, located about three
miles east of Newport, was the
county seat. From there the coun
ty seat was moved to old Eliza
beth and later to Jacksonport.
In those days, there was little
written or printed history and peo1
pie uepenueu entirely upon rne
narrative. A man’s word carried
considerable more weight than it
does now. People loaned money
to a man then merely upon his
verbal promise to pay it back at
a stated time, and few people ever
failed to keep a promise. There
is a fine illustration of this in an
incident related by Mr. Greenhaw
in regard to a man who was tried
during one of the early terms of
court at Litchfield, and was sen
tenced to hang. Court was held
sometime in the early spring, and
the man, who was mamed and
had a family, had started a crop.
Court came on and he was convict
ed and sentenced to hang. The
date of the execution was fixed by
the court for some time late in the
summer, in order that the con
demned man might finish his crop,
and the court released him with
out bqnd, only exacting from him
a promise that he would return
and surrender himself to the sher
iff before the time appointed for
his execution. True to his prom
ise, the condemned man went
home, finished his crop and return
ed and surrendered to the sheriff
to be hanged. The condemned
man was very fond of squirrels,
which were plentiful in those days,
and on the morning of the day
he was to be hanged, he suggest
ed to the sheriff that they go out
and kill some squirrels for dinner.
The sheriff consented, and secur
ing a couple of flint-lock rifles, one
of which he gave the condemned
man, the two went out and killed
a number of squirrels which the
sheriff had cooked just to the
man’s liking and together they en
joyed a fine squirrel dinner. After
dinner was over, the condemned
man announced that he was ready
to be hanged. The sheriff sum
moned his deputies and a doctor,
and the party proceeded to the
rude scaffold which had been
erected at a convenient place near
by, and the condemned man was
duly executed according to the
mandate of the court.
CATTLE DROWNED IN CREEK)
Bald Knob, Jan. 14.—News has
just been received here of the
heavy loss by floods of cattle near
Kio Vista, seven miles east of
Bald Knob. It is reported that 35
head of cattle were drowned in
Glaize creek, where the swift cur
rent swep them into a drift of
logs. The cattle were owned by
Stewart Bros. ».<- Heartsell of this
place, who estimate their loss at
more than $1,000
NATIONAL BANK ELECTS
The stockholders of the First
National Bank of Newark held
*'ieir annual meeting Tuesday and
elected the following directors for
the ensuing year: C. M. Edwards,
G. M. Fields, E. E. Allen, R B. |
Adams, E. R. Moore, F. C. Hoyt,
and A. A. Evans.
The conditions of this substan
tial institution was found entirely
satisfactory and the management
was congratulated upon the suc
cessful business of the past year.
The directors at their last meet
ing in December declared a semi
annual dividend of five per cent
and passed $1,250 to the surplus
fund, making the surplus fund
$5,000.
The election of officers was de
ferred until the next meeting of j
the directors, but it is not prob
able that any changes will be made
in the officers.
COMMON CAUSE OF LOSS
Lined up alongside the fence in
a Tennessee farmer’s barnyard we
saw, the other day, a binder, a hay
loader, two mowing machines, a
grain drill, with some cultivators
and plows thrown in for good
measure. It was a rainy day, too
and all these implements were
getting a thorough soaking. If
the farmer leaves them there all
winter, the piobubilities are that
the depreciation in their value
will amount to enough to build a
good implement shed, which would
last from ten to twenty years.—
The Progressive Farmer.
