Americans, too, have taken it up with enthusiasm, and clubs are interested in it all over the land, the ladies being especially devoted to it. In 1879 the first organization of Archery Clubs was formed at Crawfordsville, Indiana, and the first annual target meeting was held in Chicago in the same year.
It was purty well deserted in those days. Nothin' there but Injin wigwams an' they was mostly run to seed. At that time, Crawfordsville was the only town to speak of between Terry Hut an' Fort Wayne, 'way up above here." "Well, there are signs of a white settlement there now. Some of the old French settlers are still there and other whites are coming in.
And, anyway, you can rest until evening. If you are not in a hurry to go right on?" "We have all the time in the world!" Conniston hastened to assure her. And Hapgood of the aching muscles added fervently, "If it's more than a mile to Crawfordsville, I've got to rest awhile!" "It is something more than that." She rose and moved toward the house.
I may not see you again before you go I am going into Crawfordsville in the morning for a few days. What I tell you, you will remember, is in strict confidence between friends?" "In strict confidence," he repeated, seriously. "Between friends." She leaned slightly forward, speaking swiftly, emphatically, earnestly: "You have heard of Bat Truxton?

"That was Jake Stone hisself. Beats all how that feller tries to advertise his town. He says it beats Crawfordsville and Lafayette all to smash, an' it's only three or four months old. Which way was he goin'?"
And" with a sniff and a toss of her head "we'll be in town now where we can enjoy ourselves." It is not a pretty thing to contradict a lady, but certainly if Miss Jocelyn's papa made the remark which she attributed to him it must have been at some time prior to his return from the camp to Valley City; prior, too, to his exit from Valley City to Crawfordsville.
Saturday morning Greek Conniston pocketed the first money he had ever earned by good, hard work. Brayley handed him three ten-dollar gold pieces his month's wage.

"No. There would be no use.
Do as I command immediately or I disinherit you. "WM. CONNISTON, Sr." "WM. CONNISTON, Jr., "Rattlesnake Valley. "At your father's orders have wired thousand to you Crawfordsville. "New York. "Money you wired remains subject your orders. I don't need it. Inform dad. "WM. CONNISTON, Jr."
They had plenty of chance to talk, 'cause that town was full of emigrants, land-grabbers, travellers an' setch like. That was before the new county was laid out, you see. Up to that time all the land north of Montgomery County was what was called Wabash County. It run up as fer as Lake Michigan, with the jedges an' courts an' land offices fer the whole district all located in Crawfordsville.
