News Items from the Kendall County Record, 1870-1889
News items from the Kendall County Record, 1870-1889. 1870 January Jan. 6: The transferment of Oswego from 1869 to 1870 took place at the usual time and without any unusual manifestation; with the exception of those who attended the Watch- meeting of the Methodists, most of its inhabitants were asleep, and therefore unconscious of the great event when it took place; at the Watch-meeting Elder Davison very forcibly reminded his hearers of their short comings in '69 and earnestly exhorted them to do better in '70. Among the newly married are Charles Kimball and Helen Schram; J. Bissell Hunt and Mary F. Porter, our popular teacher; John G. Faust and Almira Hafenrichter. The ladies’ fair and festival in support of the projected hearse was only a partial success; the net profits amounting to only about $80. No discouragement, however, is apparent on the part of the association. These ladies seem to be bound to have a hearse and be buried in style. The gossip mongers very nearly succeeded in starting another sensation. It appears that on New Year’s evening several young gentlemen met together and in order to further the enjoyments of this august holiday, they resorted to some of the ordinary stimulants, the effects of which it was said to have been somewhat extraordinary, producing more than the usual result and seemingly having more than the ordinary properties to make drunks. Yorkville: Hon. Henry Sherrill, member of the Constitutional Convention from Kendall county, introduced a resolution on Monday “that the fees and emoluments of town and county officers for like services performed shall be uniform throughout the State and that all Sheriffs that be eligible for reelection.” At the last session of the Legislature, Mr. -

This Page Blank in Original Source Document Te %es t,^ Lieutenant Hartsuff and the Banana Plants By RAY B. SELEY, JR. Most readers of Florida history have come across the story of how the third phase of the Seminole Wars was started in December of 1855, when the soldiers "chopped down the banana plants, just to see Old Billy cut up," and how Billy Bowlegs retaliated by attacking the party next morning. The incident changed the pattern of the efforts of the United States Govern- ment to send the Seminoles to the Indian Territory and should not be dismissed so lightly. For several years before the attack a system of pressure tactics had been used in the attempt to persuade the Seminoles to emigrate to the Indian Territory.1 Increasing numbers of troops were placed on the frontier, military roads and outposts were built and more citizens were allowed to occupy the areas vacated by the Indians. -

Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology, number 30, 109 pages, 63 fig ures, 1975.—This volume brings the story of the evolution of headgear in the United States Regular Army from just prior to the Civil War to the opening of the modern era. Strongly influenced by French, British, and German styles, the U.S. Army tried and found wanting in numerous ways a number of models, and it was not until the adoption of the "drab" campaign hat in the early 1880s that a truly American pattern evolved. The European influence carried on until the 1902 uniform change, and, in the case of the "overseas" cap and chapeau, even beyond. OFFICIAL PUBLICATION DATE is handstamped in a limited number of initial copies and is re corded in the Institution's annual report, Smithsonian Year. SI PRESS NUMBER 5226. COVER DESIGN: "New Regulation Uniform of the United States Artillery" by A. R. Waud (from Harper's Weekly, 8 June 1867). -
