She Knew Young Lincoln.

A visit was made the other day to the
house of Andrew Simmons, well to do
farmer residing near the historic little
inland village of Fountain Green, lying
near the line of Hancock and McDonough
counties. At his home resides Mr.. Sim
mons aged mother, Mrs. Miranda Sim
mons. She is one of the sturdy pioneers
of the west. She came to Illinois from
Kentucky when she was fifteen years of
age, and settled with her parents near
Petersburg, where she married. They
afterward lived on the Alfred Gordon
farm, near Petersburg, the fences of
which are to this day composed of the
identical rails cut by Abraham Lincoln.
Mrs. Simmons gave the reporter an in
teresting account of Lincoln's famous
rail splitting.
1t seems that while Lincoln was study
ing law at Petersburg he and a friend
named Hanks-the latter a relative of
Lincoln's mother-who was also study
ing, boarded at Alfred Gordons. This
Mr.. Gordon was an old friend of the
Lincoln family.
AS Mr.. Gordon did not charge the
young men any board they undertook to
make rails enough for two farms. So
for some months Mr.. Lincoln and young
Hanks put in part of their time max
ing rails. Mr.. Lincoln made most of
the rails, and those cut by Hanks were
used in fencing farm owned by the
father of Alfred Gordon. Mrs. Sim
mons remembers Lincoln well as q
smart but awkward boy long before he
appeared in public life.-Illinois Cor.

Night.
BE was plain John Smith.

Ethelrida Mar1ingale.
But what msttered that 70 him; he
loved her
Love l. the great leveler.
Not that it had leveled the sweet, pale
Ethel-ids exactly, for it had not; but it
had knocked John out fat.
Happy Ethelrida, for she had the bulge
on him.
II Is ever thus.
In loves sandwiches one piece Of bread
will always have more butter on it than
the other will.
Yet Ethelrida was not cruel, and she
did not long to let him drop hard enough

On the contrary, she sought to let him
down on silver strands 10 beds Of thorn
less roses.
But John wouldn't have it.
Nor is our hero the only man built
that way.
He loves but little, or not at all.
W no fears the dumpneas OF bis fall.
That was John Smith all over, and
still John was no SLOUGH, as the word
goes.
Ethelrida knew what was coming, but
she was powerless to prevent it, unless
she took an ak to John, and she hesitated
TO resort to harsh measures.
Woman's nature is ever gentle.
1t was calm and beautiful Sabbath
evening when John called for the last
time.
81 love you, Ethelrida," he whispered
low and lisping, at about II o'clock, land
Iwant you for my wife"
1t was then apparent to Ethelrida thai
Mr.. Smith meant business.

standing him of. Papa is unutterably
opposed to our union, and he has said hi

That was tip John should have acted
upon-that and the palable fact tina
Ethelrida did not rush to his throbbin,
bosom like an undammed torrent whel
he had 50 Enthusiastically blazed the wa,
for her.
Love laughs at locksmiths," he sal
courageously, ignoring the surface ind

Again was the fair girl baked in he
generous purpose, and there came int
her face the hard, cold lines Of resolutio
and into her eyes the cruel CLINT of iul
tice, long deferred.
Eyes, and at John Smiths" she adde,

The Wonder of All Wonders.

Sarah Jessop, of this place, was one Of
the most wonderful of Georgia's many
natural freaks. She was a colored woman,
and when / saw her last had a 2-inch
iron cylinder passing through her breast.
When Sarah was very small this passage
appeared as a simple dent or cicatrice. At
the age of six years it was sufficiently large
TO admit the thumb of an adult and ex-
tended entirely through the child's body.
At later period-about the age of thir-
teen, believe-a local physician inserted
a metal tube as a protection to the girls
internal anatomy. When the size of the
cavity or passage increased the cylinders
loosened and dropped out, whereupon
larger ones were regularly inserted. When
Sarah died (from other causes), at the age
of twenty-three the cylinder was a frac-
ton over two inches indiameter and passed
through her breast between the lungs,
coming out at the junction of the shoulder
blades.-Augusta (Ga.) Cor. st. Louis
Republic.

Do YOU wish to know the quickest

Do you wish to know the quickest
way to cure a cold? We will tell you.
To cure cold quickly, it must be
treated before the cold has settled in
the system. The first symptoms are
dry, loud cough and sneezing. The
cough is soon followed by watery ex-
pectoration and the sneezing by pro-
fuse watery discharge from the nose.
In severe cases there is a thin white
coating on the tongue. What to do?
1t is only necessary to take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy in double doses
every hour. That will greatly lessen
the severity of the cold and in many
cases will effectually counteract it, and
cure what would have been "A severe
cold within one or two days time. Try

Walter Besant, in his very entertain
ing and valuable book on London, I"
notes an important change in the early
part of this century in the feelings of
the English gentry about trade. Mer-
camille life ceased to attract the younger
sons of the gentry, who found employ
ment in the army or navy, and the city
was thus severed from the counties.

three which is at all abreast Of the
current discussion, though even this
sCSes strength because of the defect
which doubtless helped it to pass the
committee in that it falls short of ex-
pressing the authors known belief in
the single tax on land values, a theory
OF taxation which hardly receives
notice In any part of what was designed
as an advanced symposium Of the sub
ject
1t may have been that no essay was
submitted of sufficient merit which
even explained the principles Of this
neWes5 and most rapidly growing
SCHOOL; but surely none should have
been deemed worthy Of a prize which
lacked in this subject, at a time when
a declaration in favor of the single tax
has been widely circulated over the
signatures Of a large number of Con
gressmen, mayors, clergymen, bankers,
State legislators, judges, prominent
ran way officials, manufacturers, law
yer5 and merchants; when a notable
petition OF los, 900 signatures has been
laid before Congress asking for an in
yes; lgatiOn into its merits; when the
quee5lon of introducing it for local
purposes in the District of Columbia
Is under serious consideration by the
district committee; when the current
tariff discussion in Congress has run
almost wholly on the lines which lead
up to the single taX-turning upon the
question Of the incidence of taxation
on industry, rather than on the old
fashioned dispute of how it's draft on
individual resources should be made.
In she face of all these developments,
sureiy no essay should have been con
sidesed model one which entirely
Ignored 80 prominent phase of the
subject.
The declaration alluded to above, the
readers Of this paper may remember,
laid stress on the point wherein tax
on the rental value of land, on what
may be called it's potential productive
capacity, differs from all other taxes,
IN that it does not infiict any burden
upon industrial effort, that it does not
increase the cost of living, nor dimin-
ish the amount of wealth produced, as
does every tax on consumption, and as
even an income tax does in some mea-
sure.
Its levy is only upon such measure
Of special opportunity for the gaining
of wealth due to the natural advan-

parcels of land that are created by
nature and made available only by
presence of large populatione) as is en-
joyed by some men to the exclusion of
others. 1t takes nothing out of the
products of labor that is not inevitably
yielded by labor for the use of land,
and which the single tax would take
for ~ ,.rnIa ert in place CT renting it
To in3iVidUalS to collect 9S toll uDOn
labor which they have not exerted. It's
collection, therefore, in no way retards
the activity of trade Or adds to the cost
Of goods; but on the contrary, tends to
stimulate industry by making it I'M
profitable to withhold land from use
It's extension from the partial employ
ment which it is now given, to the sub
stitution Of it in place for all other
taxes, is at worst a matter to be con
sjdered; and no treatise on taxation
can now be an adequate one which
does not take account Of it.

COOPERATIVE CREAMERIEs.

Mr.. EDITOR 1t is very desirable tn 1T
the farmers, and especially those who
wish to restrict areas in cotton, should
look into some Of the advantages of CO
operative dairying and make an effort
to recuperate their losses by this means.
If they will but give this system fair
trial, we are sure they will be pleased
with the result, as well as find their
farms gaining in fertility with the
change in farming and the larger
amount of manure they will be able to
save and use. Much labor is saved
and the resulting products are more
uniform and will bring more money
where this system is III use than where
each farm manufactures it's own butter.
Not only this, but more COWS can be
kept, insuring greater returns in each
than could be hoped if ell the making
and selling were done by the farmer
and his family.
1t Is well within bounds to assert that
nearly every town in North Carolina
having any facilities at all for shipment
and sale Of dairy products could build
and operate a creamery of from 200 to
800 COWS capacity, and that such build
ing and all the apparatus needed for
successful Oper alton need not cost over
$1,000, for the handling of the smaller
plumber, or $3, 900 for the larger num-
Der of COWS.
There are numerous firms in the
North and Northwest whose sole bu4i-
ness it is to make and furnish creamery
supplies, and they will undertake to
start and operate them until some one
In the organization can master the de
tails and the enterprise managed by
home talent. Allthere is to do to start
a creamery or butter or cheese factory
is to form an association in which all
s4he members have an interest. Each
one should subscribe a given amount
of stock, which may be limited, and all
should be pledged to furnish milk from
some definite number of COWS.
The form of organization may be
similar to that of an alliance, with the
special object named and certain rules
bo observed In delivery of milk, pay for
butter, ETC., paid down.

Mr. EDITOR Crawford Alliance, No.
1858, appointed me to write and, in
friendly manner towards Farmers
Wife, . state her true position. l am
sorry that it ever reached Farmers
Wite's ears that this Alliance would
not receive female menb6rs. By some
means 1t got abroad that we would not
vote to receive lady members, and the
question was raised in the Alliance. a
motion was put before the body that
each member be a committee to tell
the ladies that we did not object, and
that their petitions would be received
and considered as if they came from
men. | am real sorry that 8 Farmers
Wife" had not known this before she
wrote the article which appeared in
the columns of your paper. Crawford
Alliance stands ready to-day and was
ready when Farmers Wife" wrote
the letter, to receive lady members.
At the same time Crawford Alliance
cannot blame Farmers Wife" for
writing up what she heard about said
Alliance. This article is not intended
to condemn Farmers Wife, but to
put Ora wford Alliance in it's true light.
Farmers Wife" said another thing
which reflected On the County ALI
ance, and that was when she said, and
she told the whole truth, that our State
and District Lecturer and Bro. Ohio
Wilson had to walk from Snowden to
the courthouse, a distance of about six
miles l must confess that feel mean
about that myself, and know that sure
ly some misunderstanding was at the
bottom of it, but Bro. Wilson explained
to me how it was that the County Sec
retary, Bro. !. J. Ferebee, had written
them to get off at Shawboro and that
it was not any fault of his that they
went on to Snowden.
IhOpe Farmers Wife will see this,
send In her petition to Crawford Ali
ance and help us fight for 'Sallie and
the babies"
Hoping The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
will continue to prosper and the Farm

saying that Crawford Alliance is still

LETTER FROM ALEXANDER
DEALSVILLE, n. @.

DEALsVILLE, n. O.
Mr. EDITOR AS nothing has ap-
peared from this neighbOrhOOd in THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER, l think it is not
out of place to say a word about pub
lie speaking The members of the
Farmers Alliance, with q compara-
lively large crowd of believers and
antis, assembled promptly at IL o'clock,
Thursday, April 28th, to listen to one
of Bro G.. @. Wright's lectures on the
financial grievances of the people.
Bros. Wright and w. w. league,
Lecturers of the Eighth strict. we're
there. Bro. Wright spoke one and
half hours and all listened with special
effectiveness and the silence was
broken only with occasional cheers.
He began by briefly telling how the
Alliance had originated from only a
few determined patriots, by giving it's
progress, and his specific reasons why
it's principles were stamped indehbly
on the minds and hearts of the masses.
There were ex- -Confederates present
whose faces beamed with gladness
when Bro. Wright said: "That party
prejudices were almost laid aside and
that the people were reading for them
selves instead of letting the bosses use
them as tools to carry out their
schemes. He proved clearly that a
taste of Jeffersonian Democracy or
Lincoln Republicanism was a thing of
the past unless the farmer asserts his
rights and maintains them next No
vember. Some of our citizens had been
so busy trying to make ends meet that
they hadn't learned about the defeatof
the Bland bill and its advocates by it's
would-be advocates.
The speaking was closed with some
moral counsel that should ever be re-
membered by all who heard it, and
some very interesting remarks by
Bros w. w. league and Senator
White.
The St. Louis platform was unani-
mously adopted by rising vote All
would like to have Bro. Wright with
us at every meeting.
Fraternally yours,
r. L. SINGMAN, Sec'y.
