Record of Letter by Mrs. Julian

Which Tells of 12-Mile Purchase,

Highly Prized by County Historians

One of the records prized by Wayne county historians is that of a letter of Mrs. Rebecca Julian, mother of Wayne county's famous lawyers by that name, written to the Wayn County Record a newspaper published at Ontervllle, telling of the hardships of life on the Twelve Mils Purchase in 1812 to 1814. The letter no longer exists, unless it is , hidden among county relics, but its record was found among the papers of Andrew W. Young, once the leading historian of the county. The Twelve Mile Purchase extended north and south through the center of Wayne county. The Julians probably were among the first white persons to enter parts of its wilds, v Mrs. Julian was an aged lady when she was asked by the Centerville paper to write the letter for publication. She had worked hard all her life, although her family was wealthy. When she wrote of her experiences, the division of wealth in. Wayne county had advanced towards what developed into class distinctions. Mrs. Julian deplored the fact that there was a class of persons who tried to live in splendor "and without work and who considered It a disgrace to use the hands in any way which would mar or soil them. Country Was "New." Her letter written in 1854 follows: "The country around us was an -entire wilderness with here and there a small cabin containing a small family. We were nearly all new beginners at that time and although we had to work : almost day and night, we were not discouraged. "We were in fine spirits until the battle was fought at Tippecanoe by General Harrison and the Indians. After that, we lived in continual fear, and ', passed many sleepless nights. Well i do I recollect how I kept my head raised off of my pillow, in listening, expecting the savages to come and take our scalps. We had every reason to believe that such would be the case as they were frequently to be seen scouting all around us. "At length the time arrived when two men were stationed at our fort for our protection. My husband also enlisted and served three months as a soldier, but was not called out from the fort. We were truly thankful that (there was no fighting to be done as we were then few In number and completely In the power of the enemy. But it is evident they intended harming only persons as they thought hostile to them. Indians Scalp Whltea. "A young man by the name of Shortridge was killed by the Indians about three miles from our fort. He had or. at the time a portion of the dress of ;another man, who had made threats against them, and it is supposed they mistook him for the latter. In the spring following, Charles Morgan and his two half brothers were killed at their sugar camp, scalped and one of them thrown into the fire. "This happened about six miles from our residence. This was quite alarming; we know not what to do: we gathered ourselves in small groups in order to hold counsel. Finally, we concluded to leave our new homes; which we did time after time for the space of two years. We were gratefu1 indeed, to see pence returning so that we could again enjoy our himes. "There were ninny and serious trials in th beginning of this country, with those who settled amid the heavy timber, having nothing to depend on for a living but their own industry. Such was our situation. However, we were blessed with health and strength and we were able to accomplish all that there was to be done. Our husbands cleared the ground and assisted each other in rolling the logs. We often went with them on these occasions to assist in the way of cooking for the hands. We hud first r::te times, just such as hard laboring men and women can appreciate. "We were not what would now be called fashionable cooks. We had no

I pound cakes, preserves, or jelly; but I r.......,.;..! 1 l -I-.' .

luo nuuowuuaia, piejmieu in pmill, honest, old fashioned style. This is one reason why we were so blessed with health we had none of your dainties, nieknacks and many fixings that are worse than nothing. There are many diseases that we never even heard of thirty and forty years ago, such as dyspepsia, neuralgia, and many others too tedious to mention. No Thought of Hands. "It was not fashionable at that time to be weekly. We could take our spinning wheels and walk two miles to a

arter a first rate supper, Join in some innocent amusement for the evening. "We did not take very particular pains to keep our hands white and therefore we never thought of having hands just to look at. Each settler had to go and assist his neighbors ten or fifteen days or thereabouts in order to get help again in log rolling time this was the only way to get assistance. "I have thought proper to mention these matters in order that the people now may know what the first settlers had to undergo. We, however, did not complain half as much as people do now. Our diet was plain; our clothing we manufactured ourselves; we lived independent, and were all on an equality. "I look back to those bygone days with great interest. Now how the scene has changed! Children of t' same pioneers know nothing of h;;u.ships; they are spoiled by indulgence, and are generally planning ways and means to live without work."

0RAT0R1CALC0NTEST Senior At Earlham Takes "The New Citizenship" For Subject.

Miss Alma G. Madden, a senior at Earlham. won the annual oratorical contest Saturday evening with her oration on "The New Citizenship." Second place was taken by Garfield Cox, a freshman, speaking on "The Necessity of Conservation." Fifty dollars in prizes were offered, thirty five tot first place, and fifteen to second. Miss Madden's oration dealt with the political conditions of the day, and recommended the simplifying of governmental machinery, and the increasing of the responsibility of the individual citizen. Mr. Cox spoke of the wanton wastefulness as practised by the American people and recommended the adoption of a policy of conservation similar to that of Germany's. All the orations were exceptionally good, and a large crowd of students aud Richmond people enjoyed the program. The third place in the contest was taken by Fred T. Hoiloweli, fourth place was given to S. Janncy Hut ton, fifth to Walter B. Jerge, and last place to Martin R. Kuehn. The judges for the evening were Rev. S. K. Lyons. Gus Hoelscber. Prof. Karle Stanley Aluon. Prof. Filbert Russell and Prof. Woodward. The Madrigal club made a very creditable appearance, and one that caused much interest among the students and patrons of the school, as it was their first performance for this year. Other numbers were furnished by Miss Alta MePherson. pianist, and Miss Cecile Hill, soprano.

DRAPERIES ON EVENING WRAPS PICTURESQUE AND VAGUE

Almost shapeless as are many of the. afternoon and evening mantles their j effect Is extremely smart and becom- j Ins when worn by the woman who ; knows how to wear them. The most j supple of the new fabrics are used for! these wraps duvetyns, velours de J laine, satin brocades and lames being among the most effective. Trimmings : are of stenciling, applique and fur. j One of the most stunning effects la ; brought about by appliqueing a black ; or colored velvet figure to a plain satin ! or velour When these designs, con- j ventionalized fuchsias, roses, etc. are , applied on a fabric like camels' hair; cloth. In one of the new reds or yel- j lows, the effect is splendid. On smooth silks and satins they stand out bolder, ' but are quite as smart. Trimmings of

this sort offer unlimited ways of displaying individuality. Fur, of course, is perfectly suited to this style of garment, and furs this season are being dyed in every imaginable color. It is difficult to Imagine an evening coat of th most delicate pink with a mole or squirrel Bkln collor in the same soft shade, but similar effects will be seen on every Bide a. little later. 7977 made up In duvetyn or matelasse in some favored shade, trimmed with moleskin, dyed or natural and finished with a quaint Oriental looking ornament of enamel or beads would make an attractive wrap for afternoon or evening. Three and one-half yards of 42 inch material is required to copy 7977 in size 86. Xo. 7977 sizes 32, 36 and 40.
