John and Margaret lTerril and their ' family were with a party of pioneers from toe Greenbrier region who mi­ grated to Kentucky In the early days. Owing to the hostilities of the In­ diana, they were armed and under toe command of Capt, Jacob Baughman, a" brother of Margaret Ferril, They ‘'packed” cn horses over the Alleghany mountains and .when in camp at or near Crab Orchard, Ky„ were attacked in the night by Indiana. Jfir toe light that ensued Capt, Baugh­ man, John Ferril and others were killed, but the men held back the In­ dians long enough to enable some of the women ando children to escape. Among toe. number tons saved were Margaret Ferril, a son, John Ferril, and. two daughters.; and- also Mrs. Ja­ cob Baughman, a son Hfrnrv of ten­ der age, and two daughters. . The'Baughman-Ferfll light, or massa­ cre, occurred In the fall of 1779. John Ferril, then fourteen years old, ■who had escaped, swore ah oath of re­ venge on his rifle. He kept that vow. and his rifle became a bloody one In the Indian wars of Kentucky, ‘ to the Boone Lick region pf‘ Mis­ souri, now Howard .county, in 1812, were .built several forts for protection against Indians, especially toe Sacs and Foxes and toe Pottawatomie*. John Ferril and family were in one - of them, known as Fort Coopen, He here still possessed hit old Kentucky rifle, After toe war of 1812, In addi­ tion to farming, "he often engaged In hunting expeditions up the Missouri ’and Kansas rivers, and sometimes tar - out bn the great prairies. ■ , Over a century ago he hunted bear and other game on what is now toe site-of Kansas City. He and other frontiersmen then predicted^ that’ a great city would, be founded, on toe ‘confluence of to* Missouri and Earn «as rivers* ‘ * i! The old ride of John Ferril has been preserved. During the Civil war, when the authorities were Collecting all the guns In Saline County, Missouri, they seised the old Ferril rifle. Kezlah Fer­ ril,’'then about ninety years old, cried and begged tha t It be not taken. Her sons and'grandsons were wearing the. blue and gray and a compromise was effected.'. Tfc was agreed that this eld rifle should he hid away, and thus-toe old Ferril rifle became a noticombat- an t in toe Civil war. It-later passed to'toe possession of Jesse Ferril, Coun­ ty judge,, son of Henry Ferril, who founded Miami, Mo. On the death of Judge Jesse Ferril the rifle was passed on as an heirloom to his brother, John Ferril, who had been a soldier from flallne county with Doniphan’s MIs- Sourlaaa in toe Mexican war. John Ferril Cfied some months ago at his home In Exeter,..Cal.' ' , 1 " ' v ■1' ■ ■ * As Good as a .Youth. • Workmen a t a mill in Greencastle are telling a good .story regarding one o f toe workmen. It has been a rule of the company not to employ men dver a certain age. A few days ago a. man living’within a stone’s throw of the mill solicited work, but was turned down because of . his gray whiskers and his snow-white lialr. The "old” man was not daunted. He felt he was still good for many days of work, so he went to a drug store, bought a bottle of black hair dye and soon had his whiteness a jet-black. He again asked for work Of toe same fore­ man and was accepted a t once. Hejjvas put to work and made good from toe s ta rt,’ Then he was worried because his white hair was growing, as also were his equally white whiskers. He again bought a second bottle of dye and used It to hide his Identity. The “old” man is still working his* eight hours 'it day and one official of toe company Stated he had done such a good job he did not have to buy an­ other bottle of dyd, but could hold'bis job, even with his white hair and whis­ kers.—Indianapolis Hews, Pent Up Emotions.

That a section to be known as Section 9*1, Article XV of toe Constitution, be adopted to provide that toe phrase "In- toxleatlngf liquor” shall not be defined or construed to mean any beverage which Is in fact non intoxicating and that no beverage contain­ ing two and three- quarters or less per cent of alcohol by weight shall be deeded'an intoxjcat- Ing liquor.

"Why do drys vote ’YES’ on two of toe wet proposals 'and ‘NO’ on too other two? if all four proposals were petitioned for for by the wets, why not vote ‘NO’ on all of them?" . Because two were proposed by the wets through referendum' petitions apd two by initiative petitions. Initia­ tive and referendum do not mean the same thing. If the legislature enacts a law, voters who object to.toe law Can, unless there Is an emergency clause attached, file a petition within a certain number of days; containing the names of 6 per cent of'the num­ ber of voters voting a t toe last gen­ eral election, asking that the voters pass on ‘the action of toe legislature. This' vote must be’taken at the next general electiop'f The Question a t such an election Is whether toe legis­ lature shall be sustained. Those who vote “YES” vote to sustain toe legis­ lature, and those who vote "NQ” vote against sustaining the legislature. The two wet referendum proposals is on sustaining the legislature in ratifying the national prohibition amendment, and in passing the Crabbe law enforcement bill. Those who be­ lieve the legislature did right in rati­ fying the dry amendment, and also in enacting a law for the enforcement of statewide prohibition, will vote “YES" on these two proposals, which will be on a ballot by themselves, A proposal by initiative petition Is one in which certain voters desire to initiate a new proposition, such as an amendment to the state constitution. Last year, for instance, the drys in­ itiated a proposed amendment for statewide prohibition, which the voters adopted,at the November elec­ tion. This, year the wets initiated two proposed amendments, one for the repeal of statewide prohibition and the other for defining intoxicating liquors. The side which initiates a proposed amendment is like the af­ firmative side in a debate.- I t affirms, 4nd the opposition denies.
