The Waste Basket Into Which Are Often Tossed Scraps Well Worth While
A rather interesting war story comes from St. Joseph, especially to Springfield where both Col. Elijah Gates and hla son, Joel E. Gates were well known.
A ring worn by Col. Elijab Gates of the Confederate army when his arm was ampu- tated because of bullet wounds received In the battle of Franktin, Tenn .. In 1864, hng been finally traced to Joel E. Gates of St. Joseph, son of the colonel.
Recently, Mr. Gales, who la a city assessor, accompanied Mayor Stigeil on a speaking tour through northwest Missouri. At Mexico. Mo .. he was given the name of a man who was said to know the history of the ring, and this week Mr. Gates was able to get in touch with bim.
During the battle of Franklin, Colonel Gatos led his troops within 100 yarda of the union linee. The colonel's arms were both pierced by bullets at the first volley, and his horse galloped back to the Confeder- ate lines, carrying the colonel. Winn, a Con- federate soldier, helped the colonel away from the battlefield, and sat at his side as one of the wounded arms was amputated.
As a token of remembrance the colonet gave Winn a plain gold ring which he had worn on the hand which was amputated. Aft- or the death of the colonel the Gates Ininily did not hear of either Winn or the ring.
R. W. Winn, a thentes operator at Mexico. Mo., wrote to Mr. Gates stating that he was the son of Ben Winn, and said that his father had worn the ring up to the time of his death a number of years ago. The ring then became the property of the widow, and was highly treasured by her, so much that it was buried with her after her death a few years ago.
Col. Gates, with one sleeve pinned to his coat, was a familiar figure in Springfield back in the SUS when be was United States marshal of this district. He opened the first term of federal court ever held in Spring- field with his "O. yez, O, yez." He was ap- pointed in Cleveland's first administration. In the second administration of Cleveland. Gen. Shelby was appointed marshal. He made Joel F. Gates deputy marsbal and Gates did considerable work around Springfield. When here one day a friegram can to him a :.. Bouncing the death of a friend.

'MY HOME TOWN' Backward Glimpses By Spring- fleidians to Places They're Loved and Still Cherish
By CELIA BAY
WHEN he was a boy, living on a farm in Pike county, John R. Ferguson, Sr., pioneer resident of Springfield, frequently.made the trip to Louisiana, the nearest town, to take products to market. He Uved on the farm until he was 19 and al- ways has referred to Louisiana as the "old home town."
Mr. Ferguson learned the three Rs' in a log school house, then went to an adjoining district, to attend a country academy. The Civil war, however, broke out about that time and he quit school to volunteer in the Union army.
Mr. Ferguson was left an orphan at the age of 10 and he worked at all the usual farm Jobs in the neigh- borhood. His pay was $8 to $15 a month and he attended school while paying hiş way.
He remembers going occasionally to Louisiana on horseback to mar- ket poultry, eggs and other products.
"The hardest Job was carrying a sack of corn or wheat to the custom mill to be ground for bread," he re- calls. "The sack sometimes fell off the horse and the rider with it."
After the war Mr. Ferguson re- turned to visit his relatives at his home. He then went to Jefferson City for four years in the state de- partment. There he married a Springfield girl and with her he came here in 1869.
"Since that time I have lived in this Queen of the beautiful cities." he says, "and never have regretted my choice of home.
"However, the following stanzas voice my love for the home of my youth-
" 'How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood.
When fond recollections present them to vlew-
The orchard, the meadow, the deep tangled wild wood. And all the loved spots that my in- fancy knew."

"MY HOME TOWN' Backward Glimpses By Spring- fieldiana to Places They've Loved and SUD Cherish
By CELIA RAY
DEAN CARL B. SWIFT of the Bible department of Drury col- lege was born in Billings, Mo., and still retains a decided interest in the old home town.
The Fourth of July celebration in Billings when old fashioned can- nons were fired was a big event of the year to Dean Swift as a boy and he vividly recalls it now.
Dean Swift left Billings to con- tinue his education at the Marlon- ville academy and later at other col- leges and universities, including Yale. It was at the Marionville academy that he got his inspiration for religious educational work to which he has devoted his life.
While most of the comrades he knew as a boy have left the old home town, Dean Swift still has many friends and some relatives there. When he decided to invest In a fruit farm In the Ozarks he bought one two miles west of Billings. so fre- quently returns there on business as well as pleasure trips.
On this farm Dean Swift is rals- ing apples, strawberries and grapes. which have been produced so abund- antly in the district near Billings during recent years. He also has a herd of Jersey cows on the farm.
"Fruit raising and dafrying are developing in a fine way in the Ozarks," he belleves.
