George Shirts kept the first hotel ever known in the county.

HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY.
His wife was a daughter of Solomon Finch, and it was said of her that she knew how to bake as nice a corn pone as could be ate between Indianapolis and the Wabash. Mr. Shirts erected the first frame house ever built in Noblesville. At his "tavern" the whole court used to domicile during its session, and Judge Wick used to remark that "it was the best corn pone stopping place in the Fifth Judicial District." George Shirts died in 1840.
Among the physicians of the county, Dr. Raymond W. Clark, who is yet in active life as a retired physician and resident of Noblesville, has officiated with no ordinary success in many cases of human suffering. Though now classed among "the fathers in materia medica," the doctor is still " dealing out pills " to his special friends as if resolved on doing good with all his harness on. The doctor has a fine library to which he is still deeply devoted.
Dr. T. T. Butler, who passed away in 1870, had been since 1832 a practicing physician in the town and county, and to his medical skill and kind attentions many no doubt have been in- debted for the improvement of their health and the continuation of their lives. The personal dignity and high integrity of Dr. Butler had given him a high standing both as a citizen and as a Christian gentleman, and when he died, in August, 1870, at the age of 65, his death was universally and deeply lamented.
The farm of Charles Lacy, some three miles below town, has been known for many years as one among the best in the county. Mr. Lacy was classed as a farmer with the first among the hon- est and economical. This memorable example, it may be said, still shines. His valuable farm is now the property of his- son John, who still holds it in cultivation.
The first office built in the county seat, which was erected for the clerk of the county, is yet standing on the southwest cor- ner of the public square. It is of brick, and is some fifteen feet

square and one story high. It is said that when they got this office room plastered the exhileration of the citizens was so great that they celebrated the event with a big Indian dance, which, as one tells us, "would have done honor to the best days of Davy Crocket."
When Dr. John Finch died, in 1826 or 7, he was succeeded in his practice by Dr. Amos Palmer, who was for many years a successful and popular physician, and died about 1848.
An interesting story is told of the first landlord of Noblesville, Mr. George Shirts. Of course the pristine village was without a market house, and the good lady of the hotel sometimes was a little pushed to supply her table with meat. On one occasion, when she had company, she said to her husband, " George, what will I do for meat for dinner?" "How long can you wait ? " he asked. "Why, half an hour," she responded. The landlord, who was a shoemaker, threw off his apron and seized his rifle, and went out of the village about five hundred yards to a big spring toward the river, where in ten minutes he shot a nice young buck, and in twenty minutes more he was back again with as fine a supply of meat as any market of the world could have afforded.
The bar of Hamilton county has always held a high rank among the other bars of the State. It is true but few of the members of this bar have ever won much of a State reputation, because but few of them ever turned politicians. For the most part they have aimed to be lawyers and nothing else. The just settlement of judicial difficulties they have known was the legiti- mate purpose of their calling, and to this end the most of them have devoted both their time and energies. Earl S. Stone is now the oldest lawyer at this bar. He is perhaps 60 years of age. His peculiar distinction has been as a special pleader, and in this role but few lawyers who have plead at this bar have ex- celled him.

WVm. Garver is also growing hoary as a member of this bar. He has long maintained the reputation of being an able jurist, and by his invincible energy he has won a distinguished repu- tation.
Gen. David Moss, as a wheel-horse at the bar, is well known through the county and over the State as one of the best law- yers in it. Bold, decided and conscientious, his devotion to his profession has grown to be a passion, and he figures away with assiduous interest in his office as well as in the courts, as if the issues of the eternal fates hung upon his efforts. Of course he is successful.
J. W. Evans holds the empire of an intellectual power over the courts of the county, and his eloquence in criminal cases is said to excel all others. His genial spirit has only to be known to be appreciated.
Thomas Jefferson Kane, a cion of Pennsylvania, stands high as the key-stone member of the Hamilton Bar. What he is in legal power and forensic abilities has placed him in the front ranks of his county as a lawyer, and it is somewhat of a wonder to us that his party has not introduced him in some way to the State at large.
Of our young friends Frank M. Trissall and Richard R. Ste- phenson, members of the bar of this county, we might say many things both honorable and commendatory. The future of their histories however will tell the story much better than our pen, and we therefore leave them to their fate with the most compla- cent assurances.
Having said this much of the Bar of the county, we would be pleased if we had any proper data to speak as freely and as lib- erally of the ministry of the county, but our information in re- gard to the first preachers is limited, and might be termed even excedingly indefinite.
Rev. James Scott, a Methodist circuit rider, was the first

.
preacher of the gospel, who, in the year 1822-3, under any cir- cumstances, held forth among the denizens of the wilderness in these parts. He was followed by Jesse Haile in 1823-4, and by John Miller in 1824-5. The Baptists were the first denomi- nation to preach salvation to the people along up White River, but who the preachers were among the Baptists, save Elder Mar- tin, seems not to be remembered, even among the oldest inhab- itants. This fact is perhaps not a strange one, for the pioneer preacher who passed through the early settlements preaching "a free gospel," it seems soon passes out of mind everywhere, and those only appear to be remembered who have come among us when the foundations of the churches have been laid, and the salaries have been brought up to a reputable standard. Doubtless many interesting stories might be told of the self-sac- rificing men of all churches who visited the pioneers in their humble cabins, and told them the simple story of the cross with the eloquence of a primitive sincerity. The spirit of these grand old itinerant ministers often carried with it the power of the day of Pentecost, and what they did and said would be trea- sured up as the sacred relics of the better days of an apostolic evangelism.
In giving a history of so rich and prosperous a county as this of Hamilton, it would be out of place not to name its court house and jail. They may both be classed with the venerable of the olden years. The latter now stands under consideration as being unfit for any human purpose, while the former, like "the ruins of Palmyra," makes one feel melancholy even to look upon it. The gentlemanly county officers who at present still occupy it deserve a better official domicile, and we are glad to learn that the county commissioners are moving to erect such edifices as will reflect appropriately on the wealth and well- known liberality of the county.
The Ledger is at present the only organ of the county, and as

it is edited with ability and faithfulness, it should receive a large county patronage.
If space had been allowed we could and would have noticed many other things, and paid a tribute to many other citizens of the county whose talents and enterprise deserve the public re- spect.
What our own fathers have done in the common walks of our advancing civilization is often treated as commonplace, if it is not wholly forgotten. But few men make any record of it, and. if any of it ever goes into history it is only in broken frag- ments, or in very indefinite if not apocryphal installments.
The history of the first settlements of the west has as much living interest in it, if it could only be gathered up, as that of any other people, either ancient or modern.
Even the cabin history of our churches, our courts, our schools, and of thousands of our men and women who were born in them, would be read in the coming years with an inter- est which no romance could excel.
The stories of such life might be simple, but the narratives, if properly told, would flash with native sparks from the fires of the higher attributes of humanity, and it would be seen that our race can develop themselves in as true a civilization in the humble life of the cabin as in the marble halls of wealth and pride and ostentatious greatness.

HAMILTON COUNTY.
NOBLESVILLE TOWNSHIP.
Being the central township of the county and the seat of jus- tice-Noblesville being in its centre-it is prominent among the other townships of the county in many respects. The residence of many of the most distinguished citizens, and the chief place of business as well as of judicial decisions, as might be ex- pected, as a township, it is in the best state of cultivation, and contains many of the best residences, and also the largest man- ufactories of any township in the county.
It is the old age home of a few of the early settlers, of whom we have spoken in the history of the county. More than the half of a century ago they saw the Aborigines of the land as they retired before the footsteps of the white man's civilization, and they lived to see nearly all of their comrades put away in the grave. From decade to decade the township has grown in agricultural resources and beauty, while its chief town of Noblesville has gradually advanced in commercial and manufac- turing importance until it is now a well built up and beautiful locality.
In county enterprise, however, it would be doing injustice to the facts in the case to say that they had kept pace with the rapid movements of the age. The county is rich, but their court house and jail are poor, and in justice should have been "put on the township" years ago. Why they have been so slow in their improvements the present deponent knoweth not, but if he was left to guess he would say that the County Com-

missioners have been afraid of their fine farens, or they would long since have made the necessary expenditures and left the issues to future generations. We believe that a new court house has been determined upon, and therefore we will not draw the pictures of the present county edifices, albeit they would furnish fine antiquated adornments for the People's Guide.
Two and a half miles east of Noblesville the fine merchant mills of G. S. Mayfield are to be seen.
The mills of Dill & Kessner, 11/2 miles southeast of Nobles- ville, are also prominent.
Four and a half miles north of Noblesville the Conner Mills are located. The buildings are large and five stories high, and are now owned by Evans & Clark.
The woolen mills of Sinnett & Harper, and the saw mill also in the same locality, are fine improvements. The mill race affording water to these mills was cut through solid rock at a great outlay.
There is a splendid flouring mill in the town of Noblesville, and a very well conducted planing mill immediately opposite the depot. .
