Y. R. editor that he remembers Simeon was a great hunter, but that he did not know that he was so adept with the rifle. He remembers that Lynn was an accomplished hammer thrower and that his favorite method of hunting was with a long handled hammer. Uncle John says that he and Henry Bradfield and Simeon went hunting one day up on the “bald knobs about two miles north of Linton. There was a big snow on the ground. WoL ford and Bradfield each carried a shot gun and Lynn was armed with a hammer. He could throw this hammer straight as an arro\^ and has killed rabbits with it fifty to one hundred yards off. That day, says Uncle John, when they counted up their day’s bag of game they found that he had killed 32 rabbits and one pheasant, Bradfield had killed 22 rabbits and Sim had killed even 30 bunnies, all with his hammer. They brought all the rabbits to town and sold them for 5 cents each.Candidates are working fast in ireene county now.

An-Irew Humphreys, and had some of, hat notable old gentleman’s personal characteristics, was loquacious, never acking for something to say when occasion presented itself and had a dig-lity of manner that was always mainlined. He was a good teacher and le knew it. In fact, he was proud of t, and whenever there were visitors n . school Mack would go out of his vay to display his pedagogic talents. )n one occasion parents of some of he pupils., visited the school.
