In those lays the woods were full of bush, hackers and on several occasions we lad to run for our lives and then ise our guns to keep them off. It was in the day of the flint lock and loader and we ran considerate risk.

The bushwhackers were scouring the country for the 'riends ot the union and when can- ure? they were either shot, hung, or arred and feathered. "When we arrived In St. Louis the -iver was so high that we could not across except on the ferry boat and this was guarded. Wagons were before they were allowed on boat so there seemed to be no hope of getting over in that manner. Samuel had an idea, however, and was finally able to elude lance of the sentries by riding the wagon pole beneatn the wagon, unti' the ferry landed on the Illinois side.

'On the following night I tried the same plan but after the wagon was and arrived at the lery landing, it just missed the boat ns It pulled out on Its last trip. Of course I was disappointed but had to grin and bear it. On the following night I made a second attempt and managed to conceal ray sef in a load of hay so that I was not discovered. When wo arrived on this side ot the river I Jerked off the blanket which had been spread over the hay and got a breath 'fresh air. I thanked the for the ride and sot off to find my brother.

Then we set out across the country to see our lolks further up the state." The seron subject at Eden Evangelical church tor Sunday morning will be service will he'condu'cted by Rev. H. Rahn.
