A news item said that "The female department of the Jones- boro "Academy" will open Monday next under the superintendance of Miss A. E. Brooks."
In the advertising section, a "Female Seminary" at Cape Gir- ardeau, Mo., was advertised for students. Their were: tuition in the ordinary branches, according to the grade of study, per an- num, $6.00 to $15.00; needlework, waxwork, drawing and painting, each (extra) $5.00; music (on the piano) per session, $20.00; board- ing including washing, fuel, lights, etc, $40.00. There were two sessions of twenty-one weeks each in each school year. The school was incorporated by the Legislature of Missouri.
Another school, "Western Military Institute" at Georgetown, Ky., also advertised for male students. Six military officers, two Colonels, one Major, two Captains, and one Lieutenant, all educated at West Point or the Virginia Military Institute, and five other in- structors, one a lawyer, three with A. M. degrees and one with an A. B. degree made up the faculty. The school was established in 1817 and two hundred thirty cadets from fifteen different states had been enrolled there. Military training and civil engineering were taught there. It was advertised that the wage a graduate engineer could expect to make was seventy-five dollars per month and it was stated that one graduate was receiving $2500.00 per year as "principal engineer" for a railroad company building a railroad in Kentucky and others were receiving $2000, $1500 and $1200 in other parts of the United States as "assistant engineers."
Other interesting advertisements were those of other newspapers and periodicals, some fashion magazines and other stories, news and religious magazines. A St. Louis wholesale merchant, a book and job printer and a doctor all advertised in this issue of the paper.
Local ads included administrator's notices, land for sale, a sheriff's notice that a slave had been found and placed in jail until claimed by the owner, the professional cards of Dr. J. V. Brooks. Dr. S. S. Condon, Dr. Parks and Dr. Freeman, and attorneys, Wm. A. Hacker, H. Watson Webb, J. Dougherty and C. G. Simmons; freshly butchered beef and mutton for sale by James Kerr at his home; accomodations at the Rising Sun Hotel by Wm. Kaley; tailor- ing by Lingle and Bratton; cabinet making by C. H. Williford and bootmaking by John Evans.
Many other businesses had been established by this time but evidently their owners had not seen fit to advertise their wares in the new paper. Within the next few years local advertisers increas- ed in numbers: Parks' Drug Store; Elias V. Winget, blacksmithing,

plows and wagons; Adam Cruse, blacksmithing, plows and wagons; Dr. David Love; D. G. Brooks, attorney; Robert Brown, butcher; James Hodges, dry goods and groceries; Cyrus G. Simmons, insur- ance; W. Willard, 100 kegs of nails and 10000 pounds of iron; many patent medicine ads; W. W. Yyman, furniture store; W. Davie and sons, dry goods and groceries; Caleb Frick, dry goods and groceries; A. C. Caldwell, dealer in copper, tin, sheet iron and stoves; L. Jay S. Turrey, attorney, and Leonard Kerr, attorney. Local markets were first reported by W. Willard and in 1851 by J. E. Naill.
In 1851 the publishers and proprietors of the "Gazette," were Thomas J. Finley and F. A. Mckenzie, and in 1853, John Evans and Co. In 1851 the title of the paper "Jonesborough Gazette and Southern Illinois Enterprise" had been changed to "Jonesboro Ga- zette." The paper was described as a weekly paper devoted to poli- tics, literature, education, foreign and domestic news.
Perrin, who published a history of Union County in 1883 said that the paper was a democrat paper from its beginning altho the first editor stated he intended to have a non-partisan paper in his editorial setting forth the policy of the paper. Hc says that in 1854, H. E. Hempstead bought the paper and sold it to John Grear in 1855 who in turn sold it to John Dougherty, then Lieutenant Governor of Illinois. Dougherty and his publisher, A. H. Marschalk, split when Dougherty took an anti-Douglas stand in politics. Mar- schalk_then established "The Democrat" and moved its office to Anna. Dougherty sold the "Gazette" back to MeKinney, a former editor, who sold it to Evans who kept it until he enlisted in the Civil War. He sold it to William Jones, who owned it when it was ordered sup- pressed, however this order was lifted as soon as the state authori- ties learned of it which was six months after the order had been given. Altho this paper has changed hands many times, it is still being published, as the "Jonesboro Gazette" until recently when it became the "Gazette-Democrat."

CHAPTER XI THE MARKET PRICE OF FOOD IN 1849. THE MEXICAN WAR. A CHANGE IN THE METHOD OF VOTING

It gives the price and the amount for sale of the articles used in those days. Flour, 4 bbl. at $4.50, 2-100 lb sacks at $2.25; wheat 40 bu. at 62c; corn in ear, 20 bu. at 25c; salt, per bu. 50c, per sack $2.00; dry apples, 50 bu. at 62c; green apples, 20 bu. at 25c; dry peaches, 90 bu. at $1.00; green, 25 bu. at 30c; Castor beans, 10 bu. at $1.25; white beans, 30 bu. at 35c; butter, 6 lbs. at &c; coffee, sack, 8 1b. at 9c; 9 1b. at 10c; sugar (New Orleans) 7 lbs. at 10c, 5 bbl. at 7c per lb .; Imperial tea, 90 lb. at $1.00 per lb .; nails, 6 1b at 7c; lead, 6 1b. at 71/2c; whiskey, 35 gal. at 40c; 2212 bbl. at 25c per gal .; molasses, 35 gal. at 40c, 30 bbl. at 35c per gal .; candle molds, 11 at 15c each, 12 at 18c each; salaratus, 9 lb. 10c; cordage, manilla, 18 1b. at 25c; chickens, 100 doz. at 25c per doz; eggs, 5 doz. at 6c per doz .; linseed oil, 75 gal. at $1.00; turpentine, 87 gal. at $1.00; white lead, 200 kegs, at $2.25; tallon, 6 1b. at 8c; dry hides, 6 at 8c; green, 3 at 4c. The market price for beef cattle and hogs was not given but articles the store wished to buy to sell to traders on the river were priced as follows: feathers, 25c per lb .; ginseng, 20c per lb .; beeswax, 18c per lb .; flaxseed, 80c per lb.
In 1846, the United States declared that a state of war exist- ed between this country and Mexico, and Illinois was called upon for thirty companies of men. Union County sent its quota, most of whom were placed in Company F of the 2nd Regiment. The en- listed men were allowed to elect their own officers. This company took part in the Battle of Buena Vista, February 22nd, 1847, which brought about the close of the war and victory for the United States.
The following men were enlisted from Union County: Cap- tain, John S. Hacker; First Lieutenant, Sidney S. Condon; Second Lieutenants, John Roberts and John Master; Third Lieutenants, Alphonso Grammer; Sergeants, John C. Hunsaker, Alex J. Nimmo, Abram Hargrave and John Grammer; Corporals, Adam Creese, Wright C. Pender, Henderson Brown, Abram Cover; Musicians, Jacob Greer and George H.

February 12, 1849, the Illinois Legislature passed a law re- vising the method of voting in Illinois, establishing the use of ballots and ballot boxes.
The law stated that a general election should be held on Tuesday next after the first Monday in the November preceding the expiration of the term of office of each president of the United States. The general election for governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, auditor of public accounts, state treasurer, rep- resentatives to Congress, Senators and representatives to the gen- eral assembly and county officers, was to be held biennially, Tues- day next after the first Monday in November, except for such offices as were directed to be chosen other than biennially, namely the governor and other officers who served for terms of four years each instead of two years.
There was provisions made for the election of two supreme judges, one from the first district to be elected the first Monday in June, 1852 and a successor every nine years thereafter, the second from the second district to be elected the first Monday in June, 1855, and a successor each nine years thereafter. The judges then in office were to hold their positions until the times set for the next elections.
Circuit judges were to be elected in each circuit the first Monday in June 1855 and every six years thereafter.
It was provided that if a vacancy should occur in the judge- ship of the supreme court, or circuit court within one year before a scheduled election, the governor of Illinois should appoint a judge to fill the vacancy until the time of the regularly scheduled election. In case the office of supreme court clerk should become vacant, the supreme judge should appoint a clerk to fill the vacancy until the term of a scheduled election, and the circuit judge should do like- wise in case of a vacancy in the office of circuit court clerk. The governor of the state was to make appointments to fill vacancies in the office of states attorney, state auditor of public accounts, state treasurer or secretary of state.
The privilege of voting was given to all white men above the age of 21 who had resided in the state for one year.
The method of voting was changed to a ballot system. Blank ballots with no writing or identifying marks were to be used by voters who wrote the names of the candidates of their choice, fold- ed the ballots and gave it to one of the election judges who placed it in the ballot box without unfolding it.
-33-
After the voting was completed, the clerk counted the number of names of voters on the poll book who had voted and the judges counted the number of ballots in the box. If more ballots were in the box than there were names of voters, a public drawing was held where the judges drew out the number of surplus ballots and de- stroyed them. In counting the votes, if two ballots were found folded together, both were destroyed because this appeared as evi- dence that someone was attempting to cast more than one vote.
The clerks and judges were allowed to adjourn until the next day after the votes were cast to count the votes. They were required to hand the results of their count to the county clerk within four days after the election and the county clerk was required to publish the returns.
The ballots were returned to the ballot box which was then locked and one election judge kept the key and another the box until the next election if there was no contest.
This law repealed all previous laws that had been passed in regard to elections.
