OL1) TIME MEMORIES .
Siam RxqxHT inuiplsts.
BY W.
In the early times, there came
lo this Co mty and settled near
die then new village of Lawrenee*-
ville, sixty five or mure years-ago,
a family of (he Nortons. , .
This Januly/theu eoustitnied of
the father And mother, four soub
aud two daughters;... iiV/ nim
Ihe father. Elias Norton aud
hiswife, were the pioneer metho
dists otf this new sa*-(iou. They
were old time, old fashioned moli -
odists. Honest, UuihfiO„siucere,
devour, and iiv<*d up striotly to
the ril es and teachings of John
Wesley hud down by him for the
guidance of Lis followers.
They weae poor in worldly
goods; but rich in faith and their
trust in God and bis good provi
dences.
Tbe lather was one of (he first
class leaders of the few Methodists
then in and about the town - , and
be soon bettome a licensed exbdr
tor, and plied faithfully his calling.
Tneir first, place of worship vkAs
at ‘Norton’s-School House,” a log
cabin LG by 18, one uiile Xtoutfi
easi of the village.
After a few years, with tlieir
members increased by conversions
and immigration, they bnil( a
framed church of good size and
capacity for’.hem days, where the
t iwn cemetery now is. il was lo
cuted as a compromise between
Mr. Norton, and the members in
the town who preferred it notrer.
II after limes it was moved to its
present hftjiitior. on “Academy
//ill,'’ but Mr. Norton never seem
ed to enjoy himself, or feel jit
home at the new location,
John, the eliiest sop, by his own
efforts, under the preceptorship
of John S Wilson, mostly, at the
old Lawrenceyille academy, be
came a thorough classical scholar,
ar.d finally became for a lima the
Rector of Hie school, after the re«
inoval of Mr Wilson, und 1 was
one of his pupils. He, as all the
family, was methodical, with uu
anylitioul cast of mind, intent and
untiring in hie shidies, forgetihg
for the time everything but his
book o , hence his »-apid proficiency.
Years ago he moved to Floyd
county, and is since dead.
Rebecca, or “Becky,” was a
sprightly girl, active in body and
mind as well
She married Mr. Prank MoDade
and raised an intelligent family.
She is still living, and resides at
Cut ersvil.c, lia.
Jamas, the next oldest, had
many of the peculiarities of the
Norton’s, but less capacity.
Hailey was a man of fair intelli
gence and of sturdy character,
and died early, leaving a widow
and some children. It was my
priviledge to meet one of his son®
recently, i» a neigh boring town,
iinding him a gentleman of iolol
ligauce and culture, and a Metho
dist preacher of ability,.
“Polly” was not so sprightly as
hei sister, but clover and pious.—
Married, but I eaunot recall to
whom.
Ztck, the youngest, read law
with the late Judge Hutchins, in
Lawrenceville, as 1 think, prac
ed Ins profession here for a time,
moved U. Uriflio, then to Texas,
and became a Judge of the Supe
rior Court of on a of lbs circuits,
and this is tli-last I know of him.
While the elder Norton w«s on
ly ineoiocro in capacity, there was
a “smar/ atidaV’ in the meat of
his children, inherited from the
mother. The great Nbihilcou is
charged with saying; “I never
knew a man of genius who had a
dnee mother,”
To narrow it down, this writer
would say, I never knew a man of
talents, or a mind even reaching
up to intdiocncv who had a weak,
silly mother
Jpmes Norton bad been ihrice
mai ried, and 1 y the last hail three
little girls, t gsd from two to five
years, nt the lime of his, auu his
—ife’s death. And this brings me
to njv objective point in this story,
and for which this article is writ
ten.
The parent- dying not far frtftu
thb same time, these little girls
were left destitute, and was soon
sent to the Orphan’s Home, near
Decai ur. They were soon taktn
lata liioiihes in different parrs of
. the State, and (hereby separated,,
ouch nun too little to know where
! the others were sent,
A few days since a letter was
handed lo mo sent to the Post-
Master at Lawrenceville, by one
of these little girls, now 15 years
old, from Louisville, ua., stating
! Unit she was boru ueitr Lawrence
ville, sent with her HtMcsisiers to
(he Orphans //mne, at 3 yeirsof
ago, then sent to Louisville lo live
Wi(j ft family there - , did nor kqow

SOME NEWSPAPER TYPES*

It is one ol the facts rarely con
sidered that about the time a man
becomes o profioient in journalism
he is really almost ready to leave
the world. It is one of tne mis
takes, too, i hat any one can become
a journalist. He can become a
“newspuper man,” but
as wbll re geniuses of u»y grade
or boru. Bill Nye amuses himself
thin, iu the New York
with Soule imwspeper types;
Replying in this way to an in
quiry from a gentleman who writes
for hints relative to the establish
ment of a school of journalism iu
the “West may answer the purpose
as well as a personal reply, and at
the same time may awaken an in.
terest in ihe subject to whioh 1
have before refered. While 1 de
plore the custom of asking the
opinion of tboss who are not jour
nalists. I am enough like other
people to write most fluently on
those subjects of which 1 know the
least, aud so I cheerfully attack
this question.
X have always been in favor of
‘ouruaiisiic schools. Like other
professions, however, journalism ia
best taught iu the school of rough
aud-tear-scakad experience. That
la the journalistic schorl that ha-,
turned out the most officieut men
iu t’ie prufession so far, aud.no
doubt it will continue to do so.
We will take for an instance A
young msu who lias written n jin
gle ia an autograph album or au
essay “Our Cruel aud Inhuman
Indian Policy.” It has attracted
t,he attention of some indulgent
friend aud he begin* to cast sbout
him in order to select a deserving
paper on which he may bestow
himself aud bring prosperi'y, He
finally peels his coat and hangs it
tn tna sour and leaking den of the
“Tail Hclt Palladium.” Ou that
moruiug he feels that the eye of
the great world of letters ia on
him. //e writes a half colons*
eiibor ou “The Discipline ol Chil
dren,” or “Our National Currency.’
i can shut my eyes and guess right
four times out of five ou these cases
for have I not been there, as Ar
istolo iu his own terse way has
si ad?
On the following week he is told
that what the people want most is
something iu the hue of crisp, gos
sipy and pointed paragraph. Bo
he takes a stepladder and pnllr
the little rhetorical tin god
that he has treoted in the inner
temple of the Tail Holt Palladium.
Badly he begins all over again.
Tearfully he prepares the following
bright aud breezy, crisp and point
ed paragraphs;
Ho!
Hot ! t 1
Hotter 1
Hottest!
Big warm.
Buy a fan.
Pay the printer.
Hurrah for the Fourth,
Buy your ice of Bixby.
Let us all celebrate
Buy your home paper.

umn.
No doubt each line carefully
Pruned down so that it will
Have tho appearance of
