Apruax, Mo., Jury 61x, 1891. Ep. Tores:—I see by the last issue of your paper, that the Hom. Vice- President of the Crescent Hill lodge has spoken in bis own defense. If the article roferred to did not hit him what is he growling about? He ways that he was in a position te un- derstand the workings of some of U. L. party. That is correet, for he isthe man chat occupied the floor more than half of the time during the U. L. township convention, mak- ing speeches and nominating men for the different offices, and when he failed to be stable he bolted the convention and voted against the men of his own choosing at the election. And the only reason that the Hon. V. P. not nominated was because he was not qualified to fill the office. He once beld that office in this town- ship and got scared over some of his official acts and resigned; and again some of those despised rich men nominated for con- was Grange store consisting of GROCERIES & DRY GOODS I desire to say to my many friends that I have re- plenished the stock and fitted up the store room in shape and I would be glad call and see me.

Tayler’s Father Had Seven Brothers in the Revolution. knew that if they nominated him they would have to sign his bend. Mr. Brundige, that rich man which he speaks of in his article, and who was nominated for constable, has lived here in Bates county for the last twenty; years, and has never asked for office before but has al- ways promptly met the tax-gatherer and his creditors. He has a nice lit- tle home east of Adrian, and when he comes to town he walks down Main street with his head up; he is not afraid that he will be dunned by the grocer or merchant for bills three or four years old; neither does he disturb the peace of the quiet little city yelling like a savage, “Hur- rah for Hartsock!” But he has al- ways voted the straight republican ticket with the Hen. V. P. until he joined the U. L. party. And now as our Hon. Vice-president has declar- ed non-fellowship with the U. L. party will, like a dog, return to his vomit and vote with the g. o. p. that only a short time ago was cemposed of such rascals. Our Hon. V. P. brought the name of Mr. Talbot be- fere the convention for trustee and a farmer in moderate circumstances anda gentleman in every respect, Lut at the election our Hon. V. P. veted for Nelson Moudy, a rich mer- chant and a republican, who it is said, run a free lunch stand and had his deputies well supplied with med- ical purposes on election day. So see that our Hon. V. P. back-slid and now says that the U. L. party is corrupt. I tell you we have a hungry set ef politicians in Deer Creek township, and if they can't get office some of them will take free lunch and red medicine. It was plain to be seen on election that about fifty of the U. L. party returned to their first love and voted the republican ticket. Our Hon. V. P. says that be was in a positien to know all things about the U. L. con- you can vention and then says that they even | wanted us to vote for a commission- er outside of our own party. If it is true that he occupied that posi- tion, he certainly knows that we promised the republicans that office | last fall if they could help us, which they did. As for Mr. promised the right.to present names for the deputy sheriff, anything about that, but that right Fuller being T den't know} R. F. Taylor, of Windsor, Mo., writes the St. Louis Republic: “My | father was Major William Taylor of the Virginia Continental army of the revolution, and was one of the seveu brothers, all in the service; neyer had asister’ One only of the seven brothers was lost, John Taylor, who I believe, was the youngest. Uncle John, as I learn from old members of the family, was wounded and made prisoner at Charleston, S. C., | and confined in the hold of a prison- ship, where he and others died, as it | said, more frem starvation than from their wounds. I have been ite | formed that under the protection of | a flag of truce, my father went to/ see his wounded brother, and did not think him fatally wounded. The other six brothers, some of them badly maimed or crippled, all lived | to see peace restored to their coun- try- My father entered the army when a very young man and served during the entire war. From sn) old transcript now in my possession, | frem the records in the War De- partment at Washington, D. C., I | see that he received at one time a/ number of military land grants or | warrants for his six year's service, and lastly another for his ¢igth year service, showing that he served | through the whole war. After the war he was one of the pioneers from Virginia to Kentucky, where he set- tled at the time the red man still made his raids through the dark and bloody ground. He lived years in Louisville, Kentucky, and died near that city in 1829. My many mother was much younger than my | father and survived him twenty years, dying here in 1849. [was the youngest of my father’s child- rev; was born in Louisville, Ky., in 1820; came from that city here to Henry (then Rives) County in 1839, and founded the town (now city) of | Windsor in 1852.
