Yes, I first saw the ght on the 6th of May, 1834, i the city of Little York, down n Sugar creek, and I suppose /as a citizen of that place for our or five years. From some icidents we remember about it, ly father had a pet coon which /as chained to a tree in the ard and nnp nicrhfr M* ot loose and went to Uncle . ack Kimbrell's some half mile tf and killed eleven chickens efore he was routed, but the ogs finally got after him and 1 an him home and he took refuge i the cellar under our house, nd the outlines of that cellar re plain to be seen to this aay. ' 'his old cellar is the only sign ' hat there was ever a building : n that hill. And one day a lan going east rode into the reek there and was drowned, lis horte got out of the creek ome little distance down stream nd was caught, I think, by my ather. I think this man's ame was McElwain. There /ere two or three business louses in Little York, but we an recall but two now. One /as run by a Mr. Clark and the ther by James Johnson who. as /e remember, was the father of lajor J. D. Johnson, who died t Fort Mill cnrrio i""""! ? ? - ~ * ? > uvuiv JCOIO a^u. )ne other incident of Little fork was that the first mess .of watermelon we remember to lave had was while we resided here. It was about tbe size of rubber ball ao$ about as round, t was given me by my mother. ! iittle York might have lived anger and done better, but on he opposite side of the creek in Lancaster county was Harris?urg Mills, which ground both vheat and corn and ginned otton, and I have heard father ay that cotton seed was then :onsidered of but little value ind that they were thrown in he creek to get them out of the way. We learned in later years hat whiskey was sold at Harris>urg. The last person we renember to have lived at Little i fork was John Slagle. in 1845. Splinter. Gold Hill, May (>.
