PREFACE
In presenting this work to the citizens of Kendall County, we
desire to express our thanks for their very liberal patronage, and for
their courteous treatment of our agents in giving information for this
work. 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 tne 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 States 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 Hollenback, his brother George
Hollenback, William Harris, and Ezra Ackley, and their families. In the
Winter of 1831 George Hollenback 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 Hollenback located with his family at the grove
about half a mile northeast of Newark. George Hollenback and Mr.
Ackley arrived at the grove, which now bears his name, on the 18th day
10 HISTORY OF KENDALL COUNTY.
of April, 1831, and were joined by William 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, built by George Hollenback, 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 Hollenback, the eldest of whom,
by only a few minutes, (George M. Hollenback, Esq., now 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.
N
In the Spring of 183-1, the Sauk Indians, conceiving or pretending that
they had been cheated or otherwise wronged by 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 part of 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

of Stillman the day before (the 15th of May, 1832) ; from this point
Major Stillman or General Atkinson dispatched a young man by the name
of Holley, 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 Hollenback's house, as it was the nearest, and give him warning.
The young man, fearing he might be followed, went to Clark Hollenback's
house, four miles in a contrary direction. Mr. Hollenback 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. Hollenback 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. Hollenback 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 HISTORY 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 country, 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 Creek 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
hostile 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,
HISTOBY OF 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 the 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 Hollenback'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 selling claims was at this time a most fruitful source of
speculation, and so continued up to the financial troubles of 183T, after
which that traffic ceased.
The cholera was fatal to many of the soldiers under Scott's com-
mand OH 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 df 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. Hollenback's families
repaired to Ottawa ; from thence Mr. Harris went to the neighborhood
where he had wintere'd in 1830-31 ; and in the month of September Mr.
Hollenback and his family returned to Ohio, from whence he had moved
to Illinois in 1829 ; old Mr. and Mrs. Combs accompanied them. Mr.
Hollenback 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.
Ezra Ackley died in 1810 ; Clark Hollenback in 1844 ; Rebecca, wife
of Wm. Harris about 1846 ; Sophia, wife of George Hollenback in 1861 ;
George Hollenback in 1863 ; William Harris in 1865.
We are greatly indebted to George M. Hollenback, Esq., for the
foregoing facts in regard to early settlement and Indian troubles of this
vicinity.

ORGANIZATION.
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 McCellarn, Bristol
Township ; Archibald Sears, Little Rock Township ; Thomas Finnic, Fox
Township ; J. K. LeBaron, Kendall 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 which one-sixth is wooded, and the remainder prairie. ,
It is watered by the Fox River, which traverses the 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 HISTOKY OF KENDALL COUNTY.
GEOLOGICAL, N
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.
YORKVILLE, the county seat, situated in Kendall Township, on the
south bank of the Fox River. The court house was commenced here in
1862, and completed in the Fall of 1864. The county records, however,
were removed from the former county seat of Oswego, in June, 1864,
before completion of the court house.

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 :

BILLS OF EXCHANGE AND PROMISSORY NOTES.
No promissory note, check, draft, bill of exchange, order, or note, negotiable instrument
payable at sight, or on demand, or on presentment, shall be entitled to days of grace. All
other bills of exchange, drafts or notes are entitled to three days of grace. All the above
mentioned paper falling due on SUNDAY, NEW YEARS' DAY, THE FOURTH OF JULY, CHRIST-
MAS, or any day appointed or recommended by the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, or
the GOVERNOR OF THE STATE as a day of FAST OR THANKSGIVING, shall be deemed as due
on the day previous, and should two or more of these days come together, then such instrument
shall be treated as due on the day previous to the FIRST OF SAID DAYS. No DEFENSE can be
made against a negotiable instrument (ASSIGNED BEFORE DUE) in the hands of the assignee
without notice, except FRAUD was used in obtaining the same. To hold an INDORSER, due
diligence must be used BY SUIT, in collecting of the maker, unless suit would have been UNAVAIL-
ING. Notes payable to person named or to order, in order to absolutely TRANSFER TITLE, must be
indorsed by the PAYEE. Notes payable to BEARER may be transferred by DELIVERY, and when so
payable every indorser thereon is held as a GUARANTOR OF PAYMENT unless otherwise expressed.
In computing interest or discount on negotiable instruments, a MONTH shall be considered a
CALENDAR MONTH or TWELFTH of a year, and for less than a month, a day shall be figured a
THIRTIETH part of a month. Notes only bear interest when so expressed, but after due they
draw the legal interest, even if not stated.
INTEREST.
The legal rate of interest is six per cent. Parties may agree in WRITING on a rate not
exceeding TEN per cent. If a rate of interest greater than ten per cent, is contracted for it works
a forfeiture of the whole of said interest, and only the principal can be recovered.
DESCENT.
When no will is made, the property of a deceased person is distributed as follows :
First. To his or her children and their descendants, in equal parts; the descendants of the
deceased child or grandchild taking the share of their deceased parents in equal parts among
them.
Second. When there is no child of the intestate, nor descendant of such child, and no widow
or surviving husband, then to the parents, brothers or sisters of the deceased, and their descend-
ants, in equal parts among them, allowing to each of the parents, if living, a child's part, or to
the survivor of them if one be dead, a double portion; and if there is no parent living, then to
the brothers and sisters of the intestate, and their descendants.
Third, When there is a widow or surviving husband, and no child or children, or descendants
of a child or children of the intestate, then (alter the payment of all just debts) one-half of the
real estate and the whole of the personal estate shall cfescend to such widow or surviving husband
as an absolute estate forever.
Fourth. When there is a widow or a surviving husband, and also a child or children, or des-
cendants of such child or children of the intestate, the widow or surviving husband shall receive,
as his or her absolute personal estate, one-third of all the personal estate of the intestate.
Fifth. If there is no child of the intestate, or descendant of such child, and no parent,
brother or sister, or descendant of such parent, brother or sister, and no widow or survivirg hus-
band, then such estate shall descend in equal parts to the next pf kin to the intestate, in equal
degree (computing by the rules of the civil law), -and there shall be no representation among col-
laterals, except with the descendants of brothers and sisters of the intestate; and in no case shall
there be any distinction between the kindred of the whole and the half blood.
Sixth. If any intestate leaves a widow or surviving husband and no kindred, his or her estate
shall descend to such widow or surviving husband.

DEEDS AND MORTGAGES.
To be valid there must be a valid consideration. Special care should be Taken to have them
signed, sealed, delivered, and properly acknowledged, with the proper seal attached. WITNESSES
are not required. The acknowledgement must be made in this state, before MASTER IN CHAN-
CERY, NOTARY PUBLIC, UNITED STATES COMMISSIONER, CIRCUIT or COUNTY CLERK, JUSTICE OF

COUNTY CLERK under his seal of office, that he was a Justice of the Peace in the county at the
time of taking the same. 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 the state or
country where executed. Where this is not done the same may be proved by any other legal way.

cluding the release and waiver of the right of homestead."

the year, in counties where such animals are not allowed to run at large, or between the last day
of October and the i$th 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.
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 before the justice, and all other steps as to appraisement, .etc.,
are before him, who is familiar therewith, they are therefore omitted here.

or without complying with the law, shall forfeit and pay a fine of ten dollars with costs.

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 i 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
of the same.
All persons making contracts in reference to matters of >his 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-thai 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 particular 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 some one disinterested who can.

TO MEASURE CORN IN THE CRIB.
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 torn 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.
MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION.
INTEREST TABLE.
A SIMPLE RULE FOR ACCURATELY COMPUTING INTEREST AT ANY GIVEN PER CENT. FOR
ANY LENGTH OF TIME.
Multiply the principal (amount of money at interest) by the time reduced todays ; then
divide this product by the qtiotient obtained by dividing 360 (the number of days in the interest
year) by the p£r cent, of interest, and the quotient thus obtained will be the required interest.
ILLUSTRATION. Solution.
Require the interest of $462.50 for one month and eighteen days at $462.50
6 per cent. An interest month is 30 days ; on£ month and eighteen days .48
equal 48 days. $462.50 multiplied by .48 gives 222,0000 ; 360 divided
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 interest °)3oO\ 185000
in the above example were 12 per cent., we would divide the $222.0000 7~] t
y 1 • • 1 1 1 . \ ' f 1 J UU/ 3p£££t\
by 30 (because 360 divided by 12 gives 30) ; if 4 per cent., we would i&O
divide by 90 ; if 8 per cent., by 45 ; and in like manner for any other
per cent. 420

A FEW REMARKS
BY THE EDITORS OF
ews.
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 for the cultivation, enlightenment and sobriety
of our fellow man.
And now^ watch us, and see if we don't.
