In 1790 his great grand father, Charda les Friend, came here from ia and located where Benton now stands. At that time this country was a wilderness and populated by Indians. Uncle John Friend, the oldest native born citizen of Scott couuty, died at his home in Oran' Tuesday morning in his 78th year. Unele John Friend was born on June 21 1830, within two miles of his late home. He was born on the farm now owned by Wm.

P. cock -more familiarly known as JOHN FRIEND. The territory was under sovereinty and his grand father oh. tained a Spanish grant to a section of land--on part of which Beaton now stands. In those days land was tree.

narried man could enter 640 and a single man could squat on 160 teres. There was little population and, theretore, no demand for land. John Friend. the grand father of leceased. was then single and entered 160 acres near where Morley now stands--known as the Parrot place.

A little later ou the grand tuther married a Miss Robertson. then living on the place now known is the Jim McMullin place near Sikeston. and in 1806 a boy was born to the unian and named Andrew Friend. This boy grew to manhood on what is now the Parrot place and took unto himself a wite 11 the person oi Elizabeth. the laughter of Judge Evans, judge of the county court.

At that time, court was held one and one-balt miles sonth of Sikeston at what was called old Winchester, in New Madrid conntv. There was DO Scott county then. When John C. Scott was elvoted representative in the early part of the nineteenth century this county was carved out and named in honor of him and Benton Wits nade the county seat. In 1859 John Friend was marred to Miss Nancy Snider.

'The mat inge took place on the Friend tarm adjoining Oran. now owned M. Friend. Justice of the Peace John Barnes performed the cerem. any.

Mrs. Friend was horn in Kentnesy in 1840 and came to Scott conn1 as a child with her parents. Soon after her arrival here the ther, Jacob Snider. died. To the union was born three chil.

dren -Virginia, James and Nancy. Virginia was married to J. W. Clemson and in 1884 died. leaving two children -Georgia (Mrs.

R. J. Williams) and Virginia (Mrs. Prof. Duckworth.

James died in intany and Nancy is the wife of Andy Metz. of Oran. When the war broke out Mr. Friend went with the South. In 1861 he served in the Missouri State Guards and.

after 6 months, joined the regular Confederate ar.by under Capt. Parrot at Pocahontas, Ark. He served until the end of the war. After the war Mr. Friend came! home and, in 1867, went out with the first gang of men to break the dirt for the bailding of the Mountain railroad in the marsh low Morley.

When the road was finished he became section foreman at Oran. which position he held until 1886. His remains were laid to in the Friend cemetery, near Oran, on Wednesday afternoon. beside his wife who died seven weeks carlier. ATTENTION.

SOCIALISTS. County Secretary Jacob has call to action in this issue. W. H. McAllister, a farmer and a Social.

ist lecturer and organizer. is now in New Madrid county. He has done good work in Pemiscot. Stoddard and Dunklin counties. and we need him in Scott county for ten days or two weeks.

His charge is $10 per week and keep. What this connty needs is a ough, systematic organization. It has never had anything even proaching this. There should be a local in every school district where as many as five Socialists reside. A local with a half dozen working members will accomplish more than 8 local with fifty non- -workers.

Let the Socialists of every school distriet arrange for a meeting and write Secretary Jacob for one date for Comrade MeAllister. Do not try to fix that date. The Secretary will do that and notify you im ple time. Get busy! SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: Twelve months, $1.00. Six months.

Since but two qualitications are "the required of road boss--lovalty to party' and support of the organ-1 would be glad it the deposed road bosses would write the Kicker whether they were so indiscreet as to late either of these essential requirements. For every result there must be a cause. And the editor would stake his neck on it that these men were removed for political reasons. competency cuts no ice with a road boss so long as he produces results at an election. The deposed men are R.

K. Griggs, Morley: John T. Boss, Illmo, and Wm. Canham, Commerce. Lets hear from you.

Didn't you subseribe for the organ or didu't "root" proper last fall! Or were you 80 indiscreet as to neglect both? Wm. Canbam is a republican. In believe all the road bosses of Commerce township were Republicans. IT 1s A REPUBLICAN rond and in such localities the bosses are expected to stand by "the party." If they fail. the gobble--uns get 'em.

Republican road boss is pected to go among his Republican neighhors and urge that polities outs 110 ice in county affairs--that We must vote tor "the And then he must put the loud pedal on the gang's man. As tor Mr. Boss, his getting fir. ed explains itself. lle has developed into one of those very "under sirable who wants to "divide 1p the destroy home.

The tour oldest were harnessed 1p to the cart and pulled it while the mother and father helped.

Some newspapers regard a few selfish and useless citizens as "THE PEOPLE," But the Kicker is not of THAT CLASS. It regards the useful citizens--the workers--as the people and believes that when the producers are PROSPEROUS AND HAPPY All is well and the goose hangs high. If this be your idea, patronize The Kicker. FROM NEW HAMBURG. Last week was certainly a week of amusement.

It was organized for two objects First: To aid the county superintendent in getting the boys and girls of the nearby country school: to remain in school till they become county graduates. To do this the principals are to visit the conntry schools near their towns. After the pupils have become county graduates, the principals will ther try to get them to enroll in their high schools. Second: To control the athletics of the county and be responsible for the canduct of their boys and girls while at another town playing a game. No team is permitted to go to another town unless accompanied by the princi pal or one of his teachers.

As to the first object we 0:1: the principals have been doing some effective work. We are fortunate in having SO many town -there being 10 in the county, employing 3 more teachers, each. Any school having 3 teachers can do at least 1 year's high school work. There are 3 schools doing 2 years or more of high school work. So we St the pupils after finishing the sth grade in the schools surrounding these towns can then enter the 9t: grade of these towns and do high school work.

The towns ale glad to get these pupils in their high schools. Otherwise the pupil must be sent away to school at 01 expense of to 4300 per year We are just now getting this work started. and we hope to see the ptipils and patrons get more interest in it. Oran now has 9 pupils from the country in her high school: Morley abont the same number and the other towns doing some. thing in the work.

Oran and Morley dust year put out pamphlets explaining the advantages offered by their high schools. and Edna and Illmo are putting out one now. Lot all the high schools do the same. We want more boys and girls in the various high schools of the county. Parents, urge your boys and girls on to counly graduation Then send them to one of our town high schools.

Watch for the constitution of this Association, which will be printed soon. Respectfully vanah. B. Hugh Smith, County Superintendent PUBLIC SALE. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20, On the John Morrie farm.
