Early History of Polk County.

John Brook* wo# a plain, ununHutn-
big farmer, uignly respected I >y nil
who know him; paid but litllo ntteu-
lion to politics; win Arnold lino D« m-
orrat, and u j I »iu Georgia gouUouiun.
Honaobiig, or Con-a-lo-hoo, au Iu*
dial) chief who ro,sided iu an ohl di
lapidated Iwt^-ntory log building, on
the hill above the big Hpring, wan a
limn of a good, strong natural mind,
nnd a good, bonnet heart; wan highly
roHpeclod by Indiana and whites. Ho
was always counseling the Indians lo
honor nnd respect Ibo good, hone d
while man, and bo honest themselves.
Ho had two lovely wives, one of which
had several likely children. The other
was barren, but was truly a dovoied
wife, and where ho went filio would
go, always by hiu side roady to ad*
minifitor to hiu wantH—bring water
to him, hold and take care of his
whisky, while drinking sit by him and
over him while drunk, cold or hot,
elector snow. Bho would buildup
tires around him in cold weather, while
drunk, lo keep him warm. »Sho was
a wife in the true senso of the term.
Ho was honestly opposed to leaving
lho land of his birth, and remained
here till forced off by the bayonet iu
18118. Ho served in ibo war of 1812,
uudor General Jnek8btt, and was at
thobnttloof the "Horse Shoe." A
groat many moro priininent Indians
lived in I ho valley nt that time. It
would take too much timo‘nnd space
to give a history of thorn all.
A murder was committed in the
valloy, near tho big spring, in the
spring of 1833. John Killian killed a
man by tho muno of Prior, a citizen of
Carroll county, who was hero hunting
stolen property. Killian had been
whipped by tho slicks, and two or
three of hiu brothers-iu-Iaw, tho Ruth
erfords, had all been dosporatoly
whipped. Tho difficulty between them
was iu relation to them nil being
whipped. They wore both drinking.
The particulars of tho evidence I don’t
now remember. Kdlinn stood his
trial and wns sentanced to live years’
imprisonment in llm penitentiary, by
his Honor, Jndgo Hooper, at the first
court hold iu tho now county of Paul
ding, iu the full. Aflor the March
election, tho Pony Club become moro
desperate, and at tho hiuuo time were
jubilant. They were certain they hold
the balance of power, and could turn
tho election upon whom they pleased.
Tiny would go to tho Democrats and
Bay, "you stand up to us, wo can elect
you—wo have a special use for you—
we intend to r ule the country; no man
shall have an offico unless wo bay so.’
They would go to tho Whigs and loll
them tho same thing. Thry said "ibid
country must be purged-- (Jcdar valley
shall in v. r have an otVnv; tho slicks
and all their liiundti shall louvo tho
country; wo will place tho county
cite (Van Wert) at Cleantown, and
wo will mob every Slick that comes lo
tho polls; it is our town." And they
did mob fkvornl persons.
Cedar valley at length gut bad oil
for a town—it was to bo mobbed if
they went to Van Weil, ami iu tho
spring of 183-1 they sent a petition to
tho Governor, setting forth the facts,
and ho promptly r» apondud nnd sent
up a oompuuy of I’nitod .S) ites troops
and they made a dash on Cleantown,
and oh Jerusalem ! what oquawloriug
and hiding with the men, ami yelling
and equaling among tho women.
"The nicked ileeth when no man pur
huotli.” and i very man that felt that
he had boonccrmcoted with tho Pony
Club fled to tho mountain?, sold their
lands and other valuables, signed up
deeds while in tho mountains and left,
went where tnu "woodbine twinoth."
Tho result of their leaving was u Dem
ocratic victory iu 1831. ami Wilson
Lumpkin, who was then Governor
and a Domoernt, was charged by tho
whiga of using bis ollico for political

FA. UrmlPermit me, through
tho columns of your lively journal, lo
give an cpitomo of my experience
aliico landing in tho “Jfjono Htar" in
1852. This is my first attempt nt*
writing* for tho p blic press, and I
trubt you will, therefore, bo lenient in
regard to any inncuncics iu i.tylo,
grammar, ole,
This idea was suggostod by an urticlo
which was written from Dallas, Texas,
under date of April 2,1875, and pub
lished iu your muo of 10th April. I
speak in behalf of tho poor, and 1 can,
from experience, well act ns spokesman
for that much deceived class.
A arrived as poor us a man can well
gat, and possibly with about us much
ns any who paid all just claims at
homo and footed all traveling exncii-
i es, etc. Yet, as your correspondent
stated, I was compelled to ink the aid
of charity ; and bo it said to tho honor
of this community and stuto at largo,
I i.ever found a warmer and moro iib-
< rul people anywhere—freely udmin-
isU-iiug to tho wants of tho needy
“withe ut money and without price.”
I must and do say, with all candor
and with due dcf« ronco lo tho opin
ions of your Dallas correspondent,
that if tlin-o is a country more suited
to the poor man, I have yet to hear of
it; and if you will bear with me, I will
endeavor to give you it few roasons
from which 1 deduco this opinion, and
also why so many young men fail to
find employment, bccomo disgusted
and abuse tho pooplo, country and
everything.
After reaching Houston I booh
learned that myself ami family would
not bo able to aocuro trunspoi tation to
the interior for awhile. We lmd no
Houston & Texas Uuilaoad then, nor
any other ruilpottil of consequenoc.
Ho 1 thought I would go lo work ut
whatever my hands found to do, in
order to at ionsl mako exnonses. 1
had been raised by a mechanic, and
worked one year regulurly. I made
application and got a job, to com
mence) the next day. I fancied luy-
solf a pretty fair mechanic. My bo-.s
put mo at work with his son, a sharp
lad of sixteen summers, lo tiuhh off a
very neat job of cornice on u portico,
fronting one of tho principal streets
of tho then embryo city. From the
manner in which L set about it, the
lad soon porcoivtd that I was what
tho Texans called ‘green from tho
States'’ in fullest sense of the term.
On entluing thh shop tho next morn*
l was informal that it was too into to
eomiiici.cn work, whereupon my wages
were paid mo and I wai dismissed.
John, of course, felt bad. But noth
ing daunted, 1 toon found another job
and kept at work until I got a con
veyance to this place.
This servos to il lustra to my idea.
A great many young men come out
hero with the false no.ion that they
have Link'd iu n country of "green
horns,” and all that is n quiaito is to
seize upon some profession, trade or
avocation, t.i and about which they
are totally ignorant, muno of them
nut knowing the first principles of
wlmt they propose to be musters. Can
any thinking man not see what* will
result from kuuIj a course V Tho peo
ple soon find tin m out; they lose their
positions, ami too pruiul to wolk at
tho plow-hamlh n, and too poor to live
without it, they set up a piteous whiuo
of reproach against t in) State and tho
people, and doum themselves more
sinned against than sinning. Men
whom wo want, and who novel* fail to
find n hearty wi Iconic aro thoso who
cun and will work; men of native
brain c qmoily, who can doviso, and
who haw llm hardihood to execute;
llm hard-fisted sons of toil, not t he
fair fckiuticd, delicate, kid-gloved gen
try, nor tho counter-hopper, who parts
his hair iu tho middle and fancies
himself the centra of utti'rction for
admiring worlds: not those, for we
lmvo a sufficiency of such ilk, and
probably might diivo a good business
by exporting a few thousands.
Mechanics, w ho aro such, and fann
ers, will find this//c-country, especially
for the poorer classes of there mon
l am of the opinion they can do but
ter here than elsewhere, and why?
The land holder will furnish land,
L ams, implements, good houses to
live iu, uud food team and bauds, give
them half they can make and wait uu-
til the crop is gathered for pay for
board. Are any such inducements
held out in Georgia? .Suppose they
wore, what would you clear there?
nothing, nnd perhaps cornu out in
debt. A man cau come out to Texas,
lake tin so terms, and mako moro
than ho could oil tho bo t farm in
Goalgia even if ho owned tho land.
Figures are stubborn fuels and can
not be controverted. 1 have.a farm
here ;.m poor ns any land iu this sec
tion, which will produce from forty to
fifty btishds id corn, and from three-
fourths to a bale of cotton po aero.
When 1 say a halo i mean 500 lbs
lint: Two-third* of tho land will
come up to tho above, while tho re
mainder will province from twenty-five
to thirty-live bushels of ooru and from
one half to a l> do of ooltuu per acre.
Mow thi! laborer gets one half for bis
work,every tiling furnished except lus
own hoard. Can this much be real
ized in Georgia even if tho party
owm a tho land and of course, retain
ing all proceeds? I siy no because l
am a Georgian and know whereof 1
speak. 1 say this, howouor, in no
spirit of disparagement for 1 still
t hug to Georgia, u nuiuo over dear to
thoso who can claim that as the place
of tla-ir birth. But for tho poor man
1 think Texas holds in re real r*. lid
h -pi ine s and a blighter future than
any other *< clion of the glebe, my
friend "\V. N. G.' to thoeontruiy not
withstanding. While this is too case,
tho capitalist need uc
among us and invest as many have,
and still aro doing, much to tin ic own
ci'OKHing various parts of tho stuto, the

untold wealth that uow lies donnai t
in mother earth, for want of outer*
l v.zo, energy uud capital, in tho simp
of vast beds of coal, iron oro, silver
and other mine nils of lesser value,
present ample field for capital uud
bruins. In regard to lhoi o three hun
dred men on the streets of Dallas out
of employment, I would nay to them
one uml all, ifryou are willing to work
como out in the country, nnd if yon
cant do olio thing, why do another
until something better turns up, ull
can get work at fair wages on tiie
farms, splitting rails i.i none too good

bought und paid for luud hero since
the war and aro doing well.
Tho lands aro all rich, tho bottom
lands especially, are perfectly inex-
haustablo the noil being from twenty
lo thirty Let in depth, and the bot
toms averaging in width all along the
Brazos, from four to six miles. Tho
country is well watered and timbered,
prairie and forest being about equal
ly divided in this section, though a
person can find a country hero to suit
tho most fustidious taste, all prairie,
all timber or diversified. Health ns
gi;od hire as anywhere, water some
places good uud others bad, cistern

eral thing, society to suit any who may
wish to come, from the chattering
ohiimrann of pig-tail lucks and rat-
oat ing propenuticH, up the grade to
the most courteous, refined, uliable
and intelligent. In conclusion I
would say wo stand with open arms
to receive all who aro honest and en
ergetic, tho man who is without a
ntcklo or the millionaire, all aro wel
come, provided they como to work
with hand, brain or money, in build
ing up themselve s and this our beau
tiful and growing state.
I laid by my corn last month, which
bids fail to average forty bushels to
