Good Roads i'm the South.

No movement calling for popular
| aid or cooperative assistance on the
part Of the legislative and CONNER
cial bodies has made such rapid prog
ress in so short time as the good
road movement in the South. While
this movement is general throughout
the country and seems to be attract
ing all elements to it's support, in the
South, where great natural resources
are being developed at an unprece-
dented rate, and where facilities for
transportation are matter of i'm
mediate, pressing concern, largely
made so during the past three years,
this subject Of improved country
highways is taking deeper root with
the people than in most other sec
tions.
The commerce Of the world comes
primarily from the ground, and as u
rule the cost of transporting pro-
duct is relatively higher in the initial
stage-from the field or mine to the
railroad, river or canal-than in any
other part Of it's journey to the worlds
markets. The most expensive and
the most oppressive kind of trans
portation is wagon transportation
where it is accomplished over bad
roads.
In recent years so much has been
done to perfect traffic relations be.
tween Southern Railway points and
all the great commercial centers,
not only Of this country but of the
world, that it is simply logical to ex-
Tend the system of economical dis.
tribution of products to the home of
the farmer, and the way to accom-
plish this is through the improve
ment of the country wagon roads,

ORIGIN OF MEMORIAL DAY.
Rufus p. Parrish Of kewanee Urged
Commemoration of the Dead.

Rufus p. Parrish of kewanee Urged
Commemoration of the Dead.
Memorial day originated with a man
who was recently followed to the
grave at Kewanee, ILL.,. by one of the
largest throngs of old soldiers that
ever attended funeral in a town of
like size.
The name of this man was Rufus P.
Parrish and 1t is admitted that let
ter he wrote to Senator John A. Logan
was chiefly instrumental in the action
Of congress in establishing day on
which throughout the nation graves OF
the union dead should be strewn with
flowers and their brave acts commem.
Grated.
1t is a matter of history that the
custom of decorating graves of sol.
diers was commenced in Kewanee in
1868, five years before Senator Logan
secured the action of congress ap-
pointing a memorial day. 1t Is known
that Mr.. Parrish, who had always
taken the greatest interest in this OBJ
servance. wrote an urgent letter to
Senator Logan, urging him to take in
to serious consideration Legislation
that would set aside a day on which
all could join in memorial services.
Aside from the interest that Mr.. Par
rish took in such patriotic movements
he had very interesting history. His
grandfather on his mothers side car
ried a fiint-lock musket in the revolu-
tlopary war. and the father of his faith
er was a recruiting officer in the war
of 1912. He was one of fifteen men to
organize the first Y. M. C. A. IN the
United States. During the war OF the
rebellion and before he was an out
spoken abolitionist and figured promi-
nently in underground railroad work
by which slaves escaped to Canada
He was in the forefront of nearly ev.
cry movement of enlightenment of the
community serving to foster libraries
and lectures.
Mr.. Parrish was born in New Hamp-
shire about eighty-seven years ago and
came to Illinois in April, 1855. He is
survived by his faithful wife. with
whom he dwelt in wedlock for the ur
usual term Of sixty-four years.

Because we had attended to 1t two
months In advance of our arrival in

us at Shepheard's. This famous old

the fact that there are numerous 9TH

some points of elegance to Shep-
