This is the first work of this kind ever published, and we have been at a loss many times to know just what would be most bene ficial for the purposes desired, and in the most condensed form. It was our original intention to make the descriptions more meagre, and as in all other Directories make our profits in inserting advertisements. But from the unusually liberal subscriptions given us, and at the request of many prominent citizens, we concluded to dispense with advertisements, and make the work one to ornament the library. Two important features of a work of this kind are accuracy and freshness. To insure these we have had an unusually large force of trusty men, who, we think, have done all that possibly could be done, and we now put the first Biographical Directory into the hands, of our subscribers in Kendall County, hoping it will prove to be equal' to their ex pectations, and of inestimable value to them. History of Kendall County. The title of that portion of the territory now embraced' in Kendall County, lying south of what is known as " the Indian boundary line," was acquired by the United States from the Indians, about the year 1810, and was the cause of a very serious misunderstanding between the govern ment and the Indians. The government desired a wagon road from Chicago to Rock Island, to which the Indians did not object ; a treaty was had, but instead of a mere wagon road, the treaty covered a magnificent strip of land twenty miles wide, across the whole State of Illinois. The. deceit thus practiced by the white man caused the massacre of the garrison at Chicago, in August, 1812. The title to that portion of the territory embraced in the county lying north of the Indian boundary line, was acquired by the treaty of 1829, held at Prairie du Chien in July of that year, which was the cause of as great a misunderstanding with the Indians as the treaty of 1810. EARLY SETTLEMENT. The first settlers in this county were mostly from the Statfes of Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia, with a few from North and South Carolina. They were, however, of a roving disposition, remained but a short time, and were succeeded by pioneers from the east. The first permanent settlement upon Fox River, except near the mouth, in the neighborhood of Ottawa, and the first in Kendall County, so far as is known, was made by Clark HoUenback, his brother George HoUenback, William Harris, and Ezra Ackley, and their families. In the Winter of 1831 George HoUenback staked off the first claim, which now includes a portion of the farm of Daniel Pierce, Esq., not far from the site of the village of Oswego. He, however, abandoned this claim. Re tracing their steps, Clark HoUenback located with his family at the grove about half a mile northeast of Newark. George HoUenback and Mr. Ackley arrived at the grove, which now bears his name, on the 18th day 10 HISTOET OF KEKDALL COUNTY. of April, 1831, and were joined by WiUiam Harris and his family in a few days, and here and at that time the first permanent settlement fairly began. The first tree cut down at the commencment of that new settlement was by Moses Booth, Esq., who died in Big Grove, in the year 1845. He came, a stranger to their encampment, with his ax upon his shoulder, and in payment for his supper, lodging, and breakfast (although no charge was made) volunteered and cut down the first tree, and then went on his way. The first house was a log one, bmlt by George HoUenback, in the Sum mer of 1831. Before a year from the date of the settlement, the first birth was a pair of twins, at the house of Mr. George HoUenback, the eldest of whom, by only a few minutes, (George M. HoUenback, Esq., how living near Millbrook) became the first white child born in the county. The first marriage was that of Mr. Harris' eldest daughter, Nancy, to Mr. Edward G. Ament. INDIAN TROUBLES. In the Spring of 1831, the Sauk Indians, conceiving or pretending that they had been cheated or otherwise wronged b;^ the treaty at Prairie du Chien, crossed the Mississippi River at Fort Armstrong (now Rock Island) and demanded satisfaction for their grievances of General Atkinson, who was then stationed at that point. Considerable force was exhibited on the partof General Atkinson, but in order to conciliate them and cause no dissatisfaction,several thousand dollars' worth of provisions, consisting mostly of flour and pork, was turned out to them by the government, upon which they became apparently satisfied, and recrossed the Mississippi to their own homes, some where in the present State of Iowa. In the Spring of 1832 they again demanded satisfaction for grievances, and the com mandant at Fort Armstrong notified the then governor of the state in regard to the threatened hostilities ; but it took the messenger a long while to reach the capital, and it took much longer for the governor to call out and equip the militia, and before any considerable force could be interposed between the Indians and the. settlement, the blow had fallen. This portion of the country had belonged to the Pottawatomie Indians from time immemorial, and they had not yet removed from the country. The chiefs, although professing friendship for the white people, were also friendly with the hostile Indians, who were Sauks and Foxes. When the Indians crossed the Mississippi they passed up the north side of Rock River, while General Atkinson, with the United States forces, passed up from Fort Armstrong on the south side of the same river until he arrived at Dixon's Ferry, where for a time he stopped, upon learning of the defeat HISTOEY OF KENDALL COUNTY. 11 of Stillman the day before (tlie 15th of May, 1832) ; from this point Major Stillman or General Atkinson dispatched a young man by the name of HoUey, and two others, for the settlement on Fox River, but they never reached their destination, and were supposed to have been murdered by the Indians, as the same day the Indians arrived at the mouth of Rock Creek, at which place it was proposed to hold a council with the chiefs of the Pottawatomies. During the time the council was in session, the Pot tawatomie Chief Shabona and his friends could not be drawn into the war. Knowing that the council could sit but a few hours at farthest, and that danger would then threaten the new settlements, for whom he professed friendship, Shabona secretly dispatched his sister's son, a trusty young Indian, by the name of Peppers or Pepys, with instructions to proceed to George HoUenback's house, as it was the nearest, and give him warning. The young man, fearing he might be followed, went to Clark HoUenback's house, four miles in a contrary direction. Mr. HoUenback was absent ; but his son Thomas, seeing the only chance for. saving the lives of his uncle's family was in immediate action, rode at full speed a perfectly un broken colt to his uncle's house, and gave the alarm. The wagon-box was set upon the wagon, the horses harnessed and hitched, and while Mr. HoUenback hurried to Ackley's and Harris' houses to give the warn ing, a few necessary articles were placed in the wagon. It was now late in the evening. Mr. HoUenback and his family, Peter Bolinger, who was at this time a member of his family, Mr. Ackley and his wife and their two children, with Mr. Harris' family, placing the women and small children in the wagon, the larger children and men on foot, started to make their escape, pursuing an easterly course. On account, how ever, of the straying of the horses of Mr. Harris, and the absence of himself and his two sons in search of them, Mr. Harris' family had to escape on foot, and Mrs. Harris' father, old Mr. Combs, who was sick in bed, had to be left to the mercy of the Indians. In their flight their numbers were augmented by Mr. Harris, who joined his family the next day, Mr. E, G. Ament, who was Mr. Harris' son-in-law, his brother Hiram, Mr. Morton who lived with Mr. Ament, Stephen West, an old Frenchman Basil Lamsett, better known as Peter Specie (or Pecie as he called himself), Keeler Clark and his brother William O. Clark. After hardships, trials and hair-breadth escapes from hostile Indians, they reached Plainfield. Mr. Bolinger, Mr. Cooper, and a young man from Hickory Grove immediately returned to the rescue of old Mr. Combs, whom they found unharmed, and brought him to Plainfield. The Indians, as he informed them, finding him helpless, had placed food and water within his reach, and had otherwise treated him kindly. 12 .HISTOEY OF KENDALL COUNTY. Mr. Ackley did not remain in Plainfield with the remainder of his neighbors, but that afternoon the families of Mr. Dougherty and Mr. Selvy, who had established themselves at the Aux Sable Grove, passed by Plainfield on their way to the Wabash. Mr. Ackley and his family joined them and proceeded to the Wabash cpuntry, and was soon in a place of safety. Upon arriving at Plainfield some buildings were torn down, and before night a very decent stockade had been erected, a military company organized, and Chester Smith was chosen captain. About a week after this Mr. Payne, a Dunkard preacher, while at tempting to reach his family at Ottawa, was murdered by the Indians. The settlement on Indian Greek was more unfortunate than that on Fox River. It consisted of three families : Davis, Hall, and Pettigrew, and two millwrights who were preparing to build a mill. On the 21st of May they were surprised by the Indians, and an indiscriminate butchery of all the persons in sight was commenced. Eighteen of the white people were killed, two of Mr. Hall's daughters were carried into captivity, one small boy, son of Mr. Hall, alone escaped. The Misses Hall were taken to Wisconsin, where their captors^traded them to the Winnebago Indians for' forty horses, and they were finally ransomed by the United States Government for three thousand dollars. They were kindly and humanely treated by the Indians during their captivity of six months. About a week after the arrival of this little band at Plainfield, a company of forty men, under the command of Captain John Naper of Naperville, came from Chicago to Plainfield, and made arrangements for their removal to Chicago, as the stockade at Plainfield was not safe and too small to contain the people. The establishment at Plainfield was therefore broken up and the people removed to Chicago, where they re mained in comparative ease and security until the 12th of June, when the lookout of the garrison discovered a number of sails down the lake, which proved to be the long-looked-for United States^ forces under the command of General Scott, hastening for the defense and protection of the frontier people. Upon the vessels entering the harbor it was an nounced that that dread scourge, the cholera, was aboard. In less than an hour from that time every person, with but two exceptions, were ready to leave, teams all loaded, and train ready to start. They left Chicago in hot haste, and returned to Plainfield, where they remained until the hostUe Indians were driven from the country and peace fully restored. The last depredations by the Indians in this vicinity were committed on Sunday, about the middle of June, in the year 1832, when two men, HISTOEY OP KENDALL COUNTY. 13 named Schermerhorn and Hazelton, while on their way to visit their house near the old mission, were killed in the morning, and Mr. Beres- ford, in thei afternoon of the same day, while picking strawberries. The last seen of him he was flying for his life with Indians in close pursuit. It is believed that no person was killed within what is now the limits of Kendall County. Indians burned all the houses in the vicinity except George HoUenback's. During the year 1833 immigration began to pour into the country, and a year or two later surplus grain and other products began to find their way to the market at Chicago, which was still a small village. Buying and seUing claims was at this time a most fruitful source of speculation, and so continued up to the financial troubles of 1837, after which that traffic ceased. The cholera was fatal to many of the soldiers under Scott's com mand on the march after leaving Chicago, and it is said that the graves of three of these soldiers were seen and known for years by the early settlers in the vicinity of Little Rock. The Summer of 1833, the Indians having been driven from the country, the month of August found the various families who were stationed in Plainfield returning to the respective homes from which they had originally come. Mr. Harris' and Mr. HoUenback's families repaired to Ottawa ; from thence Mr. Harris went to the neighborhood where he had wintered in 1830-31 ; and in the month of September Mr. HoUenback and his family returned to Ohio, from whence he had moved to Illinois in 1829 ; old Mr. and Mrs. Combs accompanied them. Mr. HoUenback and a young man named John Perry returned to Illinois in the Spring of 1833, and that summer raised a crop. He then returned to Ohio and removed his family the second time to Illinois. Mr. Ackley also returned and occupied the claim he left during the Indian troubles. Mr. Harris did not return to his claim at the grove, but sold it to John Matlock, father of West Matlock, Esq., and he in turn sold it to Robert Ford, who subdivided it. Mr. Harris then settled at Long Grove, and remained there until his death. Ezl-a Ackley died in 1840,; Clark HoUenback in 1844 ; Rebecca, wife of Wm. Harris about 1846 ; Sophia, wife of George HoUenback in 1861 ; George HoUenback in 1863 ; William Harris in 1865. We are greatly indebted to George M. HoUenback, Esq., for the foregoing facts in regard to early settlement and Indian troubles of this vicinity. 14 HISTOEY OF KENDALL COUNTY. PIONEERS.

Kendall County was so named from Amos Kendall, who was Post master General under General Jackson. The county was organized in the year 1841, from three townships of Kane County and six townships of LaSalle County, and was under the control of a board of commissioners elected each year, (the first of which met and organized April 28, 1841) together with three probate justices of the peace, viz. : Royal Bullard, Norman Dodge, and Almon Ives. The township organizations were adopted in the year 1849, when a Board of Supervisors, one from each township, was elected, in whom the control of the county was vested. The first Board met on May 22, 1850, composed of E. Morgan, Oswego Township ; James McCeUarn, Bristol Township ; Archibald Sears, Little Rock Township ; Thomas Finnie, Fox Township ; J. K. LeBaron, KendaU Township ; William D. Townsend, Na-au-say Township ; A. Jordan, Franklin Township ; H. Moore, Lisbon Township ; and H. G. Wilcox, Big Grove Township. The county contains an area of three hundred and twenty-one square miles, of whioh one-sixth is wooded, and the remainder prairie. It is watered by the Fox River, which traverses tjie northern and northwestern portions of the county, and by many large creeks. The general character of the surface of the country is that of an undulating prairie, with the timbered portion either in isolated groves or skirting the principal streams. Sloughs, or flat, damp meadows, frequently oc cupy the hollow between the high, rolling prairies, but are not often of any considerable extent. The soil of the timbered tracts is generally light-colored, some times sandy or gravelly clay. On the prairies the soil is mainly a dark-colored mold. The depth of this soil varies from one to three feet. 18 HISTOEY OF KENDALL COUNTY. GEOLOGICAL. Of the older formations we have the following named, in descending order : ^ 1. Goal measure, underlying a small area of not more than three or four miles in the extreme northwestern corner of the county. 2. Niagara group, buff, drab, and brown impure limestone with frequent nodules of chert. Aggregate thickness in this county probably between fifty and seventy feet, occupying a considerable area in the northern and northeastern portion of the county. 3. Cincinnati group, gray, and bluish limestone, with green and blue shades. Total thickness not over two hundred feet, occupying a considerable area lying south and west of that underlaid by the Niagara group, equal in extent to one-third of the whole superficial area of the county. 4. G-alena and Trenton Limestone, porous, yellowish limestone, with small bluish beds near the base, and beds of passage into the next for mation below. Thickness estimated at about two hundred feet. Occupies all that portion of the county which has not already been described as underlaid by the more recent formations. 5. St. Peters Sandstone, very incoherent, white sandstone, brought up by anticlinals, so soft as to be easily excavated at some points with a common spade, occupying an area of not more than one or two square miles, in the western part of the county. It will be seen that Kendall County is well supplied with building stone, although the finer qualities suitable for cut stone and ornamental work are generally wanting. Limestone suitable for the manufacture of quicklime is found. Sand is abundant. Springs containing sulphuretted hydrogen occur in the southeastern portion of the county. The largest and best known are on the land of Mr. L. House. Small deposits of peat are also found. VILLAGES. There are ten villages in this county. YoEKViLLB, the county seat, situated in KendaU Township, on the south bank of the Fox River. The court house was commenced here iu 1862, and completed in the FaU of 1864. The county records, however, were removed from the former county seat of Oswego, in June, 1864, before completion of the court house. HISTOEY OP KENDALL COUNTY. 19 The original town was laid out by Edward W. Brewster, on the 2d of June, 1843. An addition was laid out by J. P. & E. A. Black on the 4th of June, 1863. The village was incorporated July 8, 1873. First board of trustees were elected July 31, 1873, viz : M. E. Cornell, president ; J. A. Beeman, William Graham, J. Needham, Carlos Stevens, and D. G. Johnson. Population 500. « Beistol, lying on the north bank of Fox River, directly opposite Yorkville. The original town was laid out by John B. Hall and James McCleUan, on tlie 29th of May, 1843. Several additions were laid out by J. M. Gale, on June 27, 1857, and AprU 30, 1864; also by Lyman Bristol and J. McCleUan, July 15, 1845, and by J. McCleUan, December 5, 1849. Population 500. Plano, situated in Little'^Rock Township, on the main line of the C. B. & Q. R.R., is quite an important manufacturing point. Here are located "the Marsh Harvester Works" of Gammon & Deering. Their first machine was built in the year 1860, and in 1864 twenty-five machines were manufactured and sold. At the present time they are working a force of over three hundred men, and turning out five thousand machines a year, which are being used in all parts of the West, and bear a reputa tion second to none in the country. The town was laid out on April 17, 1853, and the first house was built by William Ervin, the same year. The C. B. & Q. R.R. was completed]to this point, and the first engine reached there, August 23, 1853. It remained the terminus of that road for some time. When the town was incorporated the first trustees were: S. R. Miner, president ; S. P. Applegate, J. W. MiUer, A. N. Beebe, clerk ; and D. C. Lincoln. Upon the resignation of S. R. Miner, A. Steward was appointed to fill vacancy. Population 1,500. Oswego was for some time the county seat of Kendall County, until the year 1864, when it was removed to Yorkville. It was laid out by Walter Loucks, May 7, 1842. Additions to it were laid out by James Stafford, S. B. Judson, L. D. Pa;:ks, and J. M. Dyggert, It was incor porated in 1852. The first trustees were : -John M. Crothers, president ; J. W. Chapman, F. Coffin, L. B. Judson, and Walter Loucks. The first house was built in 1834 by William Wilson. Population 1,000. Nbwaek, originally called Georgetown, was laid out by George B.

Since the organization of the county, it has been as follows : Thomas Foed, presiding judge of Circuit Court, from 1841 to 1844, at which time he was elected governor of the state. John Dean Costen, appointed judge, and served" as such, from Ford's resignation in 1844, until the adoption of the constitution of 1848. T.

A deed is good without such certificate attached, but can not be used in evidence unless such a certificate is produced or other competent evidence introduced. Ac knowledgements made out of the state must either be executed according to the laws of this state or there should be attached a certificate that it is in conformity with the laws of tbe state or country where executed. Where this is not done the same may be proved by any other legal way. Acknowledgements where the PIomestead rights are to be waived must state aS follows: "In cluding the release and waiver of the right of homestead." Notaries Public can take acknowledgements any where in the state. Sheriffs; if authorized by the mortgagor of real or personal property in his mortgage, may sell the property mortgaged. In the case of the death of grantor or holder of the equity of redemption of real estate mortgaged, or conveyed by deed of trust where equity of redemption is waived, and it contains power of sale, must be foreclosed in the same manner as a common mortgage in court. ESTRAYS. Horses, mules, asses, neat cattle, swine, sheep, or goats found straying at any time during the year, in counties where such animals are not allowed to run at large, or between the last day of October and the 15th day of April in other counties, THE owner thereof being unknown, may be taken up as estrays. No person not a HOUSEHOLDER in the county where estray is found can lawfully take up an estray, and then only UPON or about his farm or place of residence. Estrays should not be used before advertised, except animals giving milk, which may be milked for their benefit. Notices must be posted up within five (5) days in three (3) of the most public places in the town or precinct in which estray was found, giving the residence of the taker up, and a particular description of the estray, its age, color, and marks natural and artificial, and stating before what justice of the peace in such town or precinct, and at what time, not less than ten (10) nor more than fifteen (15) days from the time of posting such notices, he>will apply to have the estray ap praised. I A copy of such notice should be filed by the taker up with the town clerk, whose duty it is to enter the same at large, in a book kept by him for that purpose. If the owner of estray shall not have appeared and proved ownership, and taken the same away, first paying the taker up his reasonable charges for taking up, keeping, and advertis ing the same, the taker up shall appear before the justice of the peace mentioned in above men tioned notice, and make an affidavit as required by law. As the affidavit has to be made before4he justice, and all other steps as to appraisement, etc., are before him, who is familiar therewith, they are therefore omitted here. Any person taking up an estray at any other place than about or upon his farm or residence, or without cotnplying with the law, shall forfeit and pay a fine of ten dollars with costs. Ordinary diligence is required in taking care of estrays, but in case they die or get away the taker is not liable for the same. GAME.

SUGGESTIONS TO THOSE PURCHASING BOOKS BY SUBSCRIPTION. The business of publishing books by subscription having so often been brought into disrepute by agents making representations and declarations not authorized by the publisher ; in order to prevent that as much as possible, and that there may be more general knowledge of the relation such agents bear to their principal, and the law governing such cases, the following statement is made : A subscription is in the nature of a contract of mutual promises, by which the subscriber agrees to pay a certain sum for the work described ; the consideration is concurrent that the publisher shall publish the book named, and deliver the same, for which the subscriber is to, pay the price named. The nature and character of the work is described in the prospectus and by the sample shown. These should be carefully examined before subscribing, as they are the basis and consideration of the promise to pay, and not the too often exaggerated statements of the agent, who is merely employed to solicit subscriptions, for which lie is usually paid a commission for each, subscriber, and has no authority to change or alter the conditions upon which the subscriptions are authorized to be made by the publisher. Should the agent assume to agree to make the sub scription conditional or modify or change the agreement of the publisher, as set out by prospectus and sample, in order to bind the principal, the subscriber should see that such conditions or changes are stated over or in connection with his signature, so that the publisher may have notice ofthe same. All persons making contracts in reference to matters of ihis kind, or any other business, should remember that the law as to written contracts is, that they can not be varied, altered or rescinded verbally, but if done at all, must be done in writing. It is therefore important that all persons contemplating subscribing should distinctly understand that all talk before or after the subscription is made, is not admissible as evidence, and is no part of the contract. Persons employed to solicit subscriptions are known to the trade as canvassers. They are agents appointed to do a particul.ir business in a prescribed mode, and have no authority to do it in any other way to the prejudice of their principal, nor can they bind their principal in ; ny other matter. They can not collect money, or agree that payment may be made in anything else but money. They can not extend the time of payment beyond the time of delivery, nor bind their principal for the payment of expenses incurred in their business. It would save a great deal of trouble, and often serious loss, if persons, before signing their names to any subscription book, or any written instrument, would examine carefully what it is ; if they can not read themselves, should call on sorae one disinterested who can. Miscellaneous Information. BUSINESS law. It is not legally necessary to say on a note " for value received." A note drawn on Sunday is void. A note obtained by fraud, or from a person in a state of intoxication, cannot be collected. If a note be lost or stolen, it does not release the maker ; he must pay it. A note given by a minor is void. Notes bear interest only when so stated. Principals are responsible for the acts of their agents. Each individual in a partnership is responsible for the whole amount of the debts of the firm. Ignorance of the law excuses no one. It is a fraud to conceal a fraud. The law compels no one to do impossibilities. An agreement without consideration is void. Signatures made with a lead pencil are good in law. A receipt for money paid is not legally conclusive. The acts of one partner bind all the others. Contracts raade on Sunday cannot be enforced. A contract made with a minor is void. A contract raade with a lunatic is void. RATES OF POSTAGE. Letters. — Letters go to any part of the United States for three cents per half-ounce, or fraction thereof, if prepaid. Unpaid letters are sent to the Dead Letter Office at Washington. Newspapers. — Publishers are now required to prepay all postage on Newspapers ; only one copy to each actual subscriber residing within the county in which the same is published goes free through the mails. Miscellaneous Matter of the Third Class. — Books, unsealed circulars, maps, prints, engravings, rausic, cards, photographs, types, cuttings, roots, seeds, merchandise, metals, ores and minerals, one cent per two ounces, or fraction thereof, which must be prepaid.

This rule will apply to a crib of any size or kind. Two cubic feet of good, sound, dry corn in the ear will make a bushel of shelled corn. To get, then, the quantity of shelled corn in a crib of corn in the ear, measure the length, breadth and height of the crib, inside of the rail ; multiply the length by the breadth, and the product by the height ; then divide the product by two, and you have the number of bushels of shelled corn in the crib. To find the number of bushels of apples, potatoes, etc., in a bin, multiply the length, breadth and thickness together, and this product by 8, and point off one figure in the product for deci mals. TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF HAY IN A MOW. Find the number of cubic feet by multiplying the length by the breadth, and that product by the height, and allow 512 cubic feet for a ton. The above rule no doubt approximates as closely as possible to a correct standard, the num ber of cubic feet required for a ton, varying a little on account of the different degrees of pres sure to which the hay has been subjected, and also with the quality of the hay as regards fineness. 28 MISCELLANEOUS INFOEMATION. INTEREST TABLE. A Simple Rule for Accurately Computing Interest at Any Given. Per Cent, for Any Length of Time. , Multiply x^^ principal (amount of money at interest) by the time reduced to days ; ^\.tx, divide this W«/by the quotient obtained by dividing 360 (the number of days in the interest year) by thf /.. cent.^i interest, and the quoHent thus obtained will be the reqmred interest. illustration. \ Require the interest of $462.50 for one month and eighteen days at 6 per cent An interest month is 30 days ; one month and eighteen days equal 48 days. $462.50 multiplied by 48 gives 222,0000 ;. 360 Smded by 6 (the per cent, of interest) gives 60, and $222^0000 divided by 60 will give you the exact interest, which is $3.70. If the rate of mterest ^^3^0 in hi above example were 12 per cent., we would divide the $222.0000 ^^ by 30 (because 360 divided by 12 gives 30) ; if 4 per cent., we woiild divide by 90 ; if 8 per cent., by 45 ; and in like manner for any other per cent.

Dear Reader: We scorn to advertise ; the publishers of this Directory kindly insisted upon our composition occupying a page of this book, to give it an air of respectability, etc., etc., for which we have condescended to allow them a small consideration, etc., etc How fortunate that we were born just in time' to publish a newspaper upon the first centennial year of our glorious Republic ! and how fortunate it is that so many of you have an opportunity of subscribing for it ! Just think of it, dear reader, and while you are thinking of it, we will tell you what our plan is. We are possessed with great ambitions ; we want to publish the best paper ever known. At present we are publishing the largest paper in the county — giving news from all parts of the county and the state, from all the states, and the whole world besides ; give a story, a few poems, recipes for the women folks ; stories for the little folks, and market reports for the old patriarchs. However, it is not enough to publish the largest paper ; we want to publish the best ; have the neatest made up sheet ; the best corps of correspondents ; the most interesting news ; do the best writing ourselves ever heard of ; and make the paper the best agent possible forthe cultivation, enlightenment and sobriety of our fellow man. And now watch us, and see if we don't. Ferriss & Brydon.
