The editor of The Northwestern
was surprised and highly pleased last
Thursday, when Capt. J. S. Williams
an old and valued friend from Tingley,
Iowa, whom he Lad not seen for over
tweotv-3even years, suddenly came
into the office. In those good old days,
we used to publish a paper in Mi. Ayr,
the county seat, of the county in which
Capt. Williams was one of the most ex
tensive farmers, and it was our good
fortune to have the captain enrolled as
a correspondent from the portion of the
county in which he lived, and to say he
kept up the history of his section in
splendid shape, are words inadequate
to express the tip-top shape in which it
was done. This the captain did as a
little side entertainment to a great deal
of work tor prominent magazines, and
as he was a most extensive reader, hav
ing a library of over 700 bound volumes,
iiesides all the greatest magazines and
newspapers of the day, lus writings
were a great feature of our paper.
Quizzing the captain as to what brought
him up this way be said be understood
an old-time friend of his was running a
newspaper in L)up City, and as he had
a few days of leisure, run up from
Grand Island to see if lie was the same
breezy fellow he knew nearly thirty
years ago. The captain U an old veteran
of the Rebellion, and while be has passed
the 71st milestone in the journey
of life, he is the same genial old soldier
of yore, with the same merry twinkle
in the eye and the same inexhaustible
fund of stories that makes au hour In
his company one to remember through
long yean to come, Hia visit made us
(eel ten years younger.
