DEATH OF ANOTHER
CASS COUNTY PIONEER
For Fifty-three Years William J.
Laughlin Was a Resident of
Cass County.
From Saturday's I)ally.
The Journal regretted very
much to learn for the first time
Friday of Ihe death of our old
friend, W. J. Laughlin, which oc
curred a week ago. His .suns, C.
O. and E. G. Laughlin, were in
the city on Friday, front whom ve(
learned Ihe sad news. W. J.I
Laughlin was a must noble citizen,
and lo know him was to love him.
When we say he was one of the
test citizens in Cass county hun
dreds of people who knew him are
ready lo coincide with us. The
following bography of the nohle
old gentleman is taken from the
Ashland Gazette;
William J. Laughlin of Cass
county, one of the real pioneers,
died on his homestead Friday,
August HO, 191:, after a con
tinuous residence of fifty-three
years, lie was horn in North
Carolina March 13, i 8 .'1 0 , and was
Jherefore 82 years !i months and
ifi days of age.
Mr. Laughlin was naturally of
a vcnlursoine nature, and when at
the age of lid he crossed the then
fireal American desert for Ihe gold
fields of California. After a year
or so of this life he returned In
his home at Ml. Pleasant, Iowa,
going by boat to Ihe Isthmus of
Panama, which he crossed and
thence by boat to New Orleans and
Keokuk, Iowa. After his return
lo Iowa by remained at home un
til on December H, 1 H 5 M , he was
united in marriage to Miss Mary
Coleman. Mr. and Mrs. Laughlin
continued to reside in Henry
county, Iowa, until 18511, when he
again was seized with the gold
fever and started overland for
Pike's Peak. When I hey had gone
as far as Salt creek they met largo
numbers of disheartened men,
who were returning from the gold
lields, and the reports these men
Rave were so discouraging that
the party westward bound, de
termined to discontinue their
journey. At this point Mr. Laugh
lin became so infatuated with the
location that he laid claim to i(0
acres through a "squatter's
right." lie dug a cellar, hewed
logs ready to build a bouse, and
broke a portion of Ihe claim be
fore returning to Iowa for lus
family. The following fall, 1859,
he came to Cass county with the
avowed purpose of making it his
future home, and he bail since
made it so. At that time the
nearest postollice was Platts
mouth, thirty-four miles distant,
and the nearest railroad was (II
lumwa, Iowa.
Mr. Laughlin, profiling by past
experience in a new country,
worked hard and with unbounded
energy, having an abiding faith in
the future of bis adopted stale,
lie devoted himself to Ihe task of
doing bis share toward the de
velopment of the country and was
always generous, and ready lo
lend a helping hand lo those in
need. Only those who have locat
ed in an undeveloped country
know of Ihe trials and big-hearl-eilness
of our real pioneers.
To Mr. and Mrs. Laughlin were
born seven children, who hae
also formed an important factor
in the present development of
Cass county. They are: Lucy
Matilda, who died in infancy;
Mary Catherine Loomis, deceased;
John C. and llenjamin deceas
ed; Oscar W. and Mrs. W. F.
Laughlin, who reside on the home
farm, and Kbeneezer O., who lives
at LaCrosse, Kansas. Mrs. Laugh
lin died some six years ago. lie
is also survived by two brothers,
It. F. of Greenwood and E. 1. of
Ashland.
Mr. Laughlin had filled many
positions of , trust among his
neighbors and was always in
terested in education, and assisted
in organizing the first district in
Salt. Creek precinct, at that time
the district embraced all the pre
cinct, west half of South I lend
and the northern part of Green
wood, lie was a member of Unify
Lodge A. F. and A. M., Greenwood,
and Ml. Moriah commandery No.
4. K. T. of Lincoln. In early life
Mr. and Mrs. Laughlin became
identified with the Christian
church, and ever remained faith
ful to their faith and church. He
was a man of sterling worth, a
gentleman of the strictest integrity.
(The funeral services were
conducted from the late home of
the deceased southwest of Ash
land, Sunday at 2 o'clock p. in.',
Flder C. A. Ileryck ollicialing,
and interment was made in Ihe
old territorial burying ground,

This is a funny world in some
ways.
One is always running across
people that want to run one's
business for him.
The scheme and fake advertiser
who comes to you with some
wonderful plan for building up
your shoe trade is a species of
buttinsky who would like to get
the chance to run your business
for you, says the Michigan
Tradesman.
Of course he wauls to run it
for a consideration.
It isn't glory he is seeking, and
he's not out running other peo
ple's business for his health. He
is out after the money. And if
you take his fair propositions at
face value he'll get the money, loo.
He wary.
If the merchants of your town
have an association before which
advertising schemes must come,
well and good. In that evelit you
can dismiss him in short order.
If not you had better go slow.
Remember that these people
who want to run your business
for a consideration are slick and
oily people. Their main stock in
trade is hot air.
And the proposition is likely lo
look passing fair.
In imagination you car. some
times fairly see the dollars grow
ing. Look out.
Go on the soft pedal.
Hefore you close the deal, take
time to write some of the people
in other towns or cities where the
oily one alleges that he has turn
ed the old town topsy-turvv.
Fxplain In him gently but firm
ly that you never enter into any
sort of an advertising arrange
ment, no matter how fair in ap
pearances, until you have done a
little investigating on your own
account.
If he tells you that the lime
is short, that you must act
quickly to keep your competitor
across the way from jumping at
the chance that you let go beg
ging, just let that competitor
jump. Tell him you never depart
from your established custom;
and that your custom is o think
it over.
Query: Why is it these
honored geniuses who are
aliout I lie country ped
schemes for running the
fellow's business don't gel a busi
ness of their own to run '.'

A. R. Corey, secretary of the state
board of agriculture, returned from
Minneapolis, where he had been at
tending the Minnesota state fair, lie.
fdso attended the Nebraska fair at
Lincoln. "Both these fairs had better
agricultural exhibits than the Iowa
fair." Mr. Corey said. "Their stock
departments do not compare with
those of our fair, however. They
have state laws which give the conn
ties permission to appropriate money
to be used for state fair agricultural
exhibits. The result is that more at
tention is paid to the agricultural end."
