A SUIT LINCOLN WAS
1t Has Come Up Again in Illinois
After a Lapse of Forty
Years

1cdFS.
From the Rochester Gid Item.
AT the adjourned road meeting or
Saturday last the Commissioners O
Highways refused to grant either O
the petitions asking for q change O,
the road extending beyond the north
end of the Mccoy lane. The petition
ers asking for the change, which em
Draced the opening of q new road tC
the north line of the township, seemed
to be most disappointed, and gave
notice that they would take an ap.
peal.
When the fight will end or how it
will finally result the Item does not
pretend to say, but as this came COLI
test Is but the renewal of one that
was made 40 years ago to secure q
road over the same route now COIL
tended for, some scraps of history re-
lating thereto will not lack in interest.
Along in the sos Isaac Flagg had
q saw mill north of Rochester, near
the North Fork, In what Is now Clear
Lake township. Rochester was at that
time the metropolis of this part of the
world, and Mr.. Flagg naturally want
ed . direct road from his saw-mill to
the metropolis. He petitioned to that
effect, and, after q long and hard
struggle, got the road granted, but
the damages awarded to the land
owners were so large that in those
pioneer days there was not money
enough in the whole region to pay
them, and they were never paid.
Consequently, the road was not
opened, Had 1t been, there would
now be q road running due north
from the north end of what is now
known as the Mccoy lane.
John Classify then owned the lands
now owned by Mrs. f Grub. and
they were unfenced at that time
North of the Classify (now Grubb)
lands were the lands of Mrs. Branch,
widow of E. Branch, who had lite
interest in them only. They are the
lands now owned by E. Poffenber-
ger. The case was carried into court,
and Flagg was represented by Ste.
phen T. Logan, while Abraham Lin.
coin and Benjamin 8. Edwards were
attorneys for Mrs. Branch and the
heirs of her husband. w. A. Whit.
sides figured as one of the opponents
of the road, having married one OF
Mrs. Branch's daughters.
In defining where the road should
run, the final phrase was "and thence
to Flsgg's mill" There was good
deal of merrlment made over this by
Mr.. Lincoln. who likened "Flagg's
mill'' to ancient Rome and drew the
inference that all roads must lead
thereto. He and Mr.. Edwards made
the plea that Mrs. Branch, having
only life interest, could not give q
right of way, but the decision was
against them and to the effect that
the land could be condemned and she
could give right OF way, good for
her lifetime, and after she died, if 1t
became necessary, the land could be
again condemned and the right of
way renewed by the heirs.
Andrew n. Kalb. who is yet living
in Round Prairie, in his Slst year,
was one of the appraisers appointed
to assess the damages. The other
two were Edward Clark and Corne-
Illus Van Nostrand. They placed the
damages at $3.50, which at that time
was considered q small fortune.

Great Jumps Of Horses

| From the Brooklyn Eagle
Different horses stride differently
some are long striders, sucn as Long.
street; others are short, quick, catchy
striders. There are $3.50 feet in q
mile, and this has been covered Ia
LAO; taking this as q standard we
find that u horse to do this must
cover 81 As feet in q second; at three
strides to the second this would give
an average of nearly IL IL feet to the
stride. Secretary Hugh J. Mcintyre,
of the Coney Island Jockey Club, q
close observer and excellent authority
on racing matters, thinks 1t probable
that horse does not take more than
2 IL strides to the second, aud that
ne, consequently strides more than
II IL feet. This view is borne out by
the fact that horses have leaped more
than double that distance. Rufus. the
great Irish steeplechaser, was said
twenty years ago to have covered 80
feet 8 inches In striding over brook;
Chandler, ridden by Capt. Broadley
at Warwick, England, In 1S47, is re-.
corded to have jumped 81 feet over
water, and ut Calverthorpe, over
hurdles, to have jumped "a feet; Lot.
terry, in the Grand National, Liver
pool, England, is recorded to have
covered 33 feet in jumping the wall
in the celebrated race. These dis.
tances seem enormous, but when q
horse sees his obstacle clearly, takes
IL kindly and without baking, pull.
ing, or changing legs. the distance
that good jumper will cover is won
derful. The two stifrest obstacles
known to steeple.chase riders we're
the double banks at Punchestown
and Orchard; the latter was the
larger, and on one occasion nine
horses out of eleven starters fell over
this fence. yet an eye witness says he
saw Chimney Sweep fly this enor.
NOUS obstacle, merely kicking ii with
one hind foot as ne few over it. A bout
twenty-five years ago the great
double bank at Punehestown was
flown from field to field by the Irish
steeple chaser GoldfiDder, the only
horse that ever accomplished that
feat. These facts tend 60 show that
o horse In running strides much more
than his own length, rather than
makes many different movements in

Georgia Volunteer Sets Forth the Neees-
sity of an immigration Movement.
GREi NwOoD, La, June 1, 1872.
To the Progress:
L would like to say few words
more Of encouragement to the
cause OF immigration. | will only
state II few facts, which can be
substantiated by the most reliable
citizens Of this neighborhood. We
have a few enterprising people in
this section, but our inhabitants
are mostly negroes, who are grad
ually decreasing in number by
leaving the hills for the river
farms, or to the cities, principally
for the purpose of educating their
children.
We would like to replace them
with good, honest and enterprising
one-horse white farmers and stock
raisers.
i might add that we have thou
sands of acres of tillable land ly-
ing idle because of both races leav-
ing the country for towns and vii
lagos.
l don't know of a single white
family living on the public road
from this place to Keachi, except
at Spring Ridge, a village half
way between the two places-a
distance of twenty miles And a
better country for small farmers
and stock raisers l don't believe
can be found.
Before / came to this State
heard that a man could work half
his time and make more than he
could in old Georgia l will amend
that by saying that if he worked

| will say, however, that this is not
a prerequisite to mans success;
but with other good qualities on
his part, it is sometimes a very
great help.

who raise all their own meat and

You can rent, lease or buy lands
here at almost your own figures

into this neighborhood from Kan,

KEACHI, La, June ,. lSg2.
To The Progress:
Co operation on the part of the
farmer will be very necessary in
order to develop the hog industry,
SO as to be able to ship to packers.
1t will be some time yet before it
will be possible for one farmer to
ship car load Of hogs of his own
raising. 1t will take from sixty to
seventy head to fill a car, and none
but tirst-class ones ought to be
shipped. Local rates charged for
less than carload lots would be
too expensive. Why not neigh
borhoods, agricultural clubs or
Farmers Unions combine, get up
a carload of good-sized and first
class hogs, say by the lst day of
October, or later if they prefer,
ship them like you would cotton,
everyone having his own mark,
and have them accounted for just
as you would cotton? 1t will nc
more be necessary for the shipper
of hogs to go to Fort Worth than
it is for the shipper of cotton to go
to New Orleans. At the present
prices, every two hogs will pore
than bring the price of a SOC
pound bale of cotton, and the
cost and trouble to raise them will
be much less. Under sized hogs
could be killed during the winter
for home use.
Sorghum Is a very fine feed foI
hogs; especially is it SO when given
them just before the fattening
process is commenced. But sor-
ghum ought to be grown as sep,
arate industry from hogs, and in
my next / will attempt to show
what valuable crop it can be
made to the hill farmer.
Two years ago there was such a
large amount OF centrifugal molas-
ses on the sugar farms in the
lower portion Of this State, that
some planters dug large holes il
the ground, for the purpose Of
pouring the molassea in, so as &c
get rid of it, az least that was my
information, received from large
sugar planter. 1t was against tn,
law to let it run into the rivers
and cooperage aud transportation
was so high that it did not pay tc
ship it to New Orleans to market
L wonder if anyone ever made the
experiment to use it in connection
with other food as a ration to fat
ten hogs! If SO, with what sue
cess. Cannot some of the lower
Louisiana farmers, planters ol
newspapers give the desired in
formation? Yours truly,

From an Appreciated Subscriber in the

BEiLwOOD, L1., June |, 1892.
Editor Progress.
l have for some tiuc been in
tending to Introduce myself to The
PRoGREss and its readers. / am a
farmer, and Of coarso don't have
much time to devote to nay literary
talent, but L like your paper, and
am going to take a little time any
way. l am glad to sec, Mr.. Editor,
that You have taken such a strong
stand against the bar-room ele-
mont, especially in politics, and
against the gigantic corporations
which squeeze the almighty dol
lar from the pockets of the poor.
That was a beautiful stand you
took against the Shreveport Water
Works company, and the people
of your city will undoubtedly ap-
preciate it.
Yes, Mr.. Editor, yours truly is a
farmer, and if 1 know anything,
which l may Contrary to the gen
eral public belief as to the average
farmer), L am willing to communi-
cate it to my brother agricultur-
lists, and as your paper has volun-
teered to give us unlimited space
in its columns, in which to discuss
to our mutual enlightenment and
benefit the different questions
which daily arise on the farm, /
would feel that l was not pro
gressive if l did not avail myself
of the opportunity. / of course
expect to receive a great deal more
than the mite which 1 contribute.
1 am positive that the success
of the farmer depends on the di-
versity of crops. 1 see that your
Keachi correspondent is of the
same opinion, although he does
not say so in so many words. II
seems that the time for raising one
article alone has passed. We used
to be able to command enough
money for our cotton to enable us
to buy almost everything else we
needed, but l fear that day will
come no more. About the only
thing a man can make money
planting in this State at pres
ent, and confine himself to that
one article of produce, is sugar
cane, or, strictly speaking, sugar
and he cannot afford to confine
himself to that, but he may think
he can, because Of the bounty paid
on it by the United States govern
ment. There is no bounty coming
to anyone save the pro6tcer OF
sugar, the larger planter Famong
