That their meditations are well founced has been our experience. Severe af- fliction has surely been ours, bet with it came kindness, thoughtfule ness, attention, and help from neighe bors and friends. For the first three were at the home of Capt. H. P. Nicke!l and We could not have been | thrown upon people more magnani- mous in thoughtfulness for the com- fort of all and in desire todo all and mitigate suffering and sorrow, they We are very grateful to them and shall always think of them many who came kindly; and to the with kind words and a helping band we are also very thankful Mr. axp Mus. G. F. Rese. A. H. Woodfin, well known as Pert Woodfin, of Kisner, Bates county, Mo., who bas for many years been living in Pieasant Gep township, was a visitor at the fair this week. The sight of the new court house going up reminded him, by reascn of a great cuntrast, of the first visit he ever paid to Clinton. This was ‘in April, 1840, more than 52 years ago, and there were only three houses i« the town, one of them was an upficished log court house, an- other, the house and tailor shop of John Coppage on the north side of the square, while the third was near the southeast coruer and was occu- pied by aman named Maive. The buildings were all of !oz8, as such 4 thing as a saw mill was not seen ia the county till some fcurteen years later. Mr. Woodfin is sixty years old and his father moved to Johnson county, near D-aper’s store while Burt was a mere !ad and he says, if ary one cai b> found who nows more about the early history o’ Johnusos, Henry, Bates and sur- rounding counties, he would like very much to see him. He was with Gen. Price during the war and sends a cordial invitatioa ts his old com- rades, and old settlers generally to call and se2 him.—Clinton Eye.
