PHINEHAS SKINNER.
Sept. 27-Phinehas Skinner having died, K. M. Woods (i) and Mrs. Polly Skinner administered. Bond, $200,000. Phinehas Skinner, son of Cornelius Skinner, of Virginia, was born in Clark County, Ky., July 28, 1801; died at Elk City, Kansas, August 21, 1856. His mother was Jane Carr, born July 30, 1769, in Loudoun County, Virginia. Mr. Skinner married Nov. 28, 1822, Polly Pat- ton, daughter of Wm. and Sally Patton, of Tennessee. She was born in 1805. They came to Boone County, Mo., in 1838, and thence to Platte in the autumn of 1840, and settled two miles east of Camden Point. Mr. Skinner was a large and handsome gentleman, of sound judgment and successful enterprise. He built a fine mill upon Platte River, and a spacious brick homestead for the family; purchaed 2,000 acres of our best land, established stores at Elk City, Kansas, and at Ringold, near his home, and, up to the time of his death, he was the largest operator, and paid out more money than any one else, in the county. He was one of the original projectors of Camden Point Academy, and had large tracts of land in many counties in northern Missouri. His chil- dren. after his death, partitioned $150,000 worth of land, besides an immense amount of money and personal property. Mrs. Skin- ner was a large-bodied and large-hearted. hospitable old lady. She was a splendid manager and a valuable assistant to her hus- band. She survived him; and, after living a few years at the homestead, divided her lands among her children, and retired to Kansas City, where she died April 20, 1878. She was brought home and buried beside her husband. Ch:

Free State men are encouraged by the situation in Kansas, and are speculating largely in townsites. They buy the stock of the Delaware Town Company, at an enormous sum, and start a system of improvements which were never finished. Our fellow- citizen, Philip Lutes, sold his stock for some $10.000, and might have been independent for life, but became so excited that he in- vested the whole in the same stock at double price. The stock became a failure.
