Jefferson Davis was born In Todd county,
Kentucky. His fellow kentuckians are proud
of it or not, according to the side they were
on during the great disagreement. 1t is n
fact not often mentioned that during the
greatest struggle in the history of the Ameri-
can republic, the two opposing leaders, Lin
coin and Davis, We're both natives of Ken
lucky. Had they staid there they might
have been jolly, riproaring, horse racing,
Bourbon drinking private gentlemen. They
would probably have called their favorite
animal n "hoSs." But they did not remain.
When both were very small boys they left
their native state-Lincoln to wander north,
Davis south, each in search of his destiny,
each in after years to take the leading part in
that stupcndous tragedy whose stage was n
continent and its audience the world
