Geo, Harper -a retired ex-banker of Cedarville, is the son of tho above mentioned Thog, Harper, an early settler m the township.. He came £i'0»i Harper’s Ferry, so named after a member of the Harper family.

The Methodists built the first church in Oedarville, a log cabin, which they afterward sold to Hiram Cline, and buj.lt a frame church, near where’ thfeir present _brtek church now stands. It was built in 1852-3, .The frame church was sold and removed about a square west . and it is used as a residence/ yet. Hiram OHne^weather-bbarded the l i g cabin church, and llved m it the rest of his life.. It Is still used as s> residence. - Hiram - Cline had ilve sons Union soldiers. One of them, Hiram,-.served as ^postmaster for many years and was the Justice o f . the Peace. He was the first soldier o f Greene eonnty to sign the enroll­ ment IJsfc under Lincoln’s call, .April 1861. Another son, Genera! J. W . B. Cline is th& efficient com­ mandant of the O. 3. & S. Home, near Sandusky, O. , Wesley and James Tliff were among the first to tengage- In the - -mamifacture-of-lime-fn Cedarville. Thefr families were gifted in song and •their musical voices were Often hoard in church and concerts. Wesley Ihif had three sOns in the Union army. One o f them married MissL. Small, a grand-daughter of ' the pioneer James Small. She is a ‘ model Wife and mother and her six children, active, Intelligent and progressive, are useful citizens, One ofAhem is the Kev.

Shroads and Jacob Ford from- Virginia, whose son, Hobart, suffered- in An- ddfsonviileprison.. He has a home and family in Cedarville. - He has been sick seven years. About the time the railroad ami *Gl bi» property twul mewls the night the news reached h im , that Ft. Sumter figd fallen into the j hands of the Coafedfoatea under Beanrogawi, and ho hastened to Tennessee and there ophsted us a private in tho Union army In tho 1st Tennessee Volunteer infantry- He became surgeon, and near tho chweoftlm war located in Cedar* ville. o 0 ., where ho married Miss Nancy Turnbull, and successfully practiced medicine until 1E01, when his death occurred. Hss widow and children Hvo in tho old home. Mrs, Wintcrisftgrand-daugbter of Judge £$RMsp!.;EyJef-th e --pionees. —Hsv Winter, did hot know of another Union man in South Carolina when ho enlisted. This could be extended indefinite­ ly, but. it is not my wish to attempt anything like a complete account. I only call attention to a few salient- features connected with some of the early settlers, necessarily leav­ ing many points untouched, which other correspondents can present especially the multitude of events since the Civil war, and tho rapid Btrlde# Ml .advancement made m Cedarville during the last 40 years, many very interesting Oyents having occurred- . I close with a .reference to some soldiers, and briefly to Key. J. F. Morton. From tho roster of Cedar­ ville township soldiers, 1 learn that families by the name of Bacfchelder, Brown, Bromagem, Beard, Cooper, Gross, Carter* Hoy, Gfllett and Wilson, each furnished three Union soldiers] amt four each Of the name of Kyle, Cottrell, Ford, Townsley, Van Horn, Hawkins, and Winter, in the Union service. Also five from each o f the following.families: His* pet, Hay, Mitchell, Milburn, Shull, Shrodes, Ilift and Cline. Six from the family o f Bull .and seven Of the name of White. There were seven McFarlands and eight Bahdalls Many other families filled up the lisfcof loyal Union soldiers, Havid Currie was the first from Cedarville to die for. bia country. He perished m the Kanawha -Valley, W. Ya. The Cedaryille G- A. B. Post-Was named in fils honor, Currie Post. Rev. J.F.Morton, deceased, was the beloved pastor of the B. P. churoh in Cedarville fop more than 40 years."" He and his amiable wife Jfought a good fight against the s» loon evil.’ He took an active -part in establishing .the Cedarville col­ lege, a .prosperous institution, re fining in its -influence, and quite beneficial to this community, In the first part of this letter,1 re fetling to ‘ “ Gov.” Orr and his hrothCr-ln-law, Bev. Hugh McMil­ lan, a mistake occurs, which it is ,proper to correct. I learn that Mrs. Orr was not, as I had' long under­ stood, the sister, but, tire niece of Bev. Hugh McMillan, tfm grand UB&is of Mr*. J , -Jwfo of Cedarville. He-was ode <4'five brothers, early settlers in Greene county, I may also add that I am indebted to J. Harvey. Nisbet for the ‘ information "that Hewpprt Bridge was tho first name of Cedar­ ville. This lie learned frojn James McLaughlin, now deceased, an early surveyor in Greene county, and later a lawyer of.

P u t Y ou r M on e y in a New Coun try The Pacific Coast extension of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway how under construe-’ tion, opens to thosettlor thousands of acres of excellent agricultural land. The newcountry InAdamt/ Hettinger, and Bowman Counties, North Dakota, and Butte County, South Dakota, is now reached by the new track. The soil is a dark loam witll clay subsoil, and produces in abundance wheat, oats, barley, spelz, flax, com and potatoes. Tho land Iswell adapted to farming, good Water is found at a depth of from twenty to fifty feet, and the whole country is underlaid with lignite coal that out­ crops along the streams, and Ihmost cases can be had for the digging. The climate is healthful, the air is dty and invigorating, and the percentage' of sunshiny days is high. Outdoor work can be done almost every day In tho year. Rainfall is amply suffi- : cient to raise' the crops, Regular mall "service lias been established, the roads are good, rural telephone lines traverse the country, and automobiles Ate in common use. Tho deeded land in thb district sells for from $10 to $18 per acre. There are many Instances this year where the crop Equalled in value the cost of the land. In Butte County, South Dakota, there is considerable government land open for homestead entry/,, Government land offices aremaintained at Lemmon, Hettinger and Boivmau, where filings and final proofs rody be made. All of these towns are on the new line of tho r V" Chicago M ilw aukee & S t. P au l Railway '' In Montana, the^nWraiJroad traverses gqod farming land. Itkas been demonstrated that big drops o f’grain may bo raised. Along theYellowstone and Musselishell rivers, tho water is used for irrigation, and phenomenal yieldsof alfalfa, sugar beats, and grain, are always certain. In the Judith Basin near Lfcwistowii, Montana, is one of the most remarkable sections to bo found on tho now-line. Undernatural tainfall, the fatuous bench lands produced this year an average of 35 bushels of hard wheat to tho acre, and the pricewas fll cents per bushel. The basin contains about 1560 square miles and Is sparselySettled. Some government laud still remains open for settlement. A government land officeismaintained at Lewistown. In Fergus County, outside the Judith Basin, Is one of the greatest stock countries in theWorld, and good ranches can be purchased at a reasonable figure, Tho Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Raul Railway Co. im established an immigration department for tho purpose of assisting ih tho settlement and development of tho now lands now Being opened,' Pamphleta descriptive of its resources will bo forwarded free on request., 4 r* An MIULKII Hlttirat PitiMMtgAfAgftiftj UHI$A60 om.% HAYNES , itftmltriitloit Af«ttV' m ADAM* TTftKrrV CHICAGO At * ers of Monda James as cell! < ship, 1 will mi Ther the cou . ;of the 1 Some a Schmidt position busy, forces, using.fi- what sti problem to he lit and nati smab uk , vah r a . idwtte»*Regim; - •The \ . enter.' tlu . this -fall ", when J, ■resentati\ - of the c- is claimi - lated cei orahle ti dry com the cand fy orgaiv Lewis js ident tha as an eli seen whii -or the W -UMB olnqtl ‘tlnetl rywhl % 9 Those have heei or to fini received primary. . tics and r - his orgai the Schir , doubt hut , have beet, urer. -’As precincts befell the ,4 l- warm to^ ular, elec Mayor B Dines sta of the 13 against th Sjchmfdt l :fought Br. be the Rej an exampl last prima to have m also won ti -in-Xenia-, - this had a Is ^seldom t through as can he eleci T!
