LINCOLN,S BIRTHPLACE

Attorney Liston McMillen, who has
just returned from a professional trip
in Kentucky, visited the birthplace
of Abraham Lincoln while away. Mr..
McMillen says the site is a beautiful
rolling farm of about 100 acres, two
and one-half miles south of Hodgen-
vile, Larue County, Kentucky, which
up to 1s43 was a part of Hardin co6n-
ty. 1t is we'll watered with a nice
cool spring flowing from huge rock
quarry. Mr.. Lincoln was born here
Feb. II, 1909. His father was Thomas
Lincoln and the maiden name of his
mother was Nancy Hanks. When
young Lincoln was six years old his
grandfather was shot here by the
Indians near his log cabin home.
When the future president was eight
years of age his father and family
moved from there to Spencer County,
Indiana.
Mr.. McMillen thinks that thisIbirth-
place of Abraham Lincoln would be
an excellent site for a Federal Sol
dier's Home for the accommodation
of infrm Union soldiers and infirm
Confederate soldiers In Kentucky.
There are great many soldiers on
both sides of the late war that need
help. Kentucky pays about one
third ofthe internal revenue taxes of
our government; and in this way
small part OF these revenues would
come back to her and relieve her of
a part Of the great burden she is bear
ing in caring for these aged soldiers,
both Union and Confederate.
Kentucky did not secede during the
war of the rebellion, but she was the
chief battle-ground and suffered from
the ravages OF the war on both sides.

PASSING OF A PIONEER.

In the death of VIM. Evans of New
Sharon, who passed to his reward on
November 10, Mahaska county lost
one of its pioneers, and man who
has contributed his full share to the
development of the wealth of this
section of Iowa.
Mr.. Evans was native of Wales,
coming to America in his youthful
days. He worked at mining at Pitts
burg and along the Monongahela
river for several years. He married
Miss Maria Jones in Pennsylvania.
To this union were born ten children,
one of whom crossed the river of
Death in childhood. The rest are still
living. He also leaves a noble and
faithful wife to mCurn her loss.
They came to Mahaska county in
the latter fifties, and engaged in min
ing coal. They brought but little
wealth with them and by industry
they procured living for their then
small family. the first load of coal
that Mr.. Evans hauled to Montezuma
he used an OK team, and as he could
not sell it, he gave it away. For
years he mined coal and wheeled it
| out on q wheelbarrow and cleared
the brush off the land and farmed
: with an OK team. About the close OF
the rebellion people began to use coal
for fuel. He was then compeIlei to
employ help to mine, and for twenty
hvS years he enjoyed a trade as
large as he could accommodate. lie
also bought land at low prices until
he owned eighteen huudred acres in
Mahaska and Poweshiek counties
About seven years ag0 he deedeo
each OF his nine children 100 acres
! which they still occupy. Most of them
have built good houses and are al
rettled near together.
Mr.. Evans was a man of abou
eighty years, OF great physical anc
mental ability, scrupulously homes
in his dealings with his fellow men
liberal to all in necessity, giving o.
his means to build churches, anC
these who were needy were nevel
turned from his door. He accumulated
fortune and leaves his wife suffi
cient means to live in comfort ant
ease. Peace to his ashes.

The location of National Home for
the infirm of both sides of the con-
flict at the birthplace OF Abraham
Lincoln would be an act Of national
amity and peace in harmony with our
Christian civilization and would be
the hardest blow that sectionalism
has ever received.
Mr.. McMillen fresh from the scene
and refreshed by that pure, sparkling
spring at which the boy Lincoln drank
for eight years, is full Of enthusiasm
upon the subject and he may be right

subject is well worth considering.

JNTER-URBINS, NTSSJON

Cedar Rapids Gazette: The
inter urban roads have a dis
tinct mission in the commercial
world, mission that was abandoned
by the steam roads when the small
lines were consolidated into great
systems aud the original centers of
traffic became way-stations on trans
continental lines.
When the first roads were project
ed from Chicago it was the thought
of their promoters to serve their
business community by placing it in
touch with the territory to be trav-
ersed by the tracks. Nothing of the
railroad operated on it's present plan
was considered, for then the man
would have been deemed insane who
would have talked of lines across the
continent and schedules as they are
at this time operated.
But in bringing the distant parts of
the country together the steam roads
have neglected that which lies be.
tween in the sense that the corpora
tions have lost their local characters
and no longer cater to certain com
munities. Tariffs are made with
consideration for the whole nation
and the roads are operated SO nearly
on the same plan that a city is un-
able to gain the proper advantage as
a result of its earlier enterprise in
projecting the improvement. The
steam roads fail to give the farmers
and local people the advantages they
demand, and in fixing the tariffs the
managers have made it more profit
able for the people to haul their pro-
duce twenty and even thirty and
forty miles than to ship by freight.
