Milton, Ind, Feb. b In 1914 a
party OF pioneers, including Philip
DOddridge. his sons-in-law, David
diana and entered land, Philip buying
what was termed the twelve mile pur-
chase. One of his first acts was to
set aside two acres of his land for a
church and cemetery, thus virtually
establishing the church in this local
ity.
Philip Doddridge performed the
greater portion of the work on the
old log cabin which served as the first
house of worship. 1t was completed
in 1916. and was called Doddridge
chapel. in honor of it's founder.
In 1882 the rude structure Of logs,
hewn from the primeval forest in
which it was erected, gave place to
brick building that reared its modest
height, and in 1876 the present build
ing took the place of the old one.
John Doddridge, son of Philip, was
active in the work of building two of
these churches, and his estimable wife
was no less interested and Jealous.

Was Downpour Of Rain.
The night they joined the funeral
party at Richmond it was so dark and
rainy that to get to the station was
almost impossible. They arrived in
Indianapolis in the early morning and
marched in the same hard rain to the
state house. There the next day they
stood guard while a throng of thous-
ands filed slowly by the casket of the
dead president. Mr.. Jenkinson re-
members very we'll seeing throng of
two thousand colored people waiting
in the square outside the state house
to do honor to their liberator.
Mr.. Jenkinson saw Lincoln on the
day before the Baltimore convention
With Judge Kilgore of Indiana he
spent an hour talking to Lincoln.
There were many delegations coming
and going and Lincoln talked to the
two men between visits. Mr.. Jenkin-
son noted on that day the thorough
business methods of the great presi-
dent. He seemed to understand at
once the purpose OF each delegations
visit; told them what he believed in,
or wanted done in the convention and
sent them on their way No delega-
ton had need to linger while Lincoln
made up his mind.
Mr.. Jenkinson also noted the fea-
lures of Lincoln carefully. When his
features were in repose he had the
sad countenance of which We hear so
much. But no sooner had he begun 70
talk than his face became really beau
tiful in it's animation.
At all times Lincoln had the kind

they grant the petition or not. And
they shall not grant it If fifty proper
ty owners petition against 1t. Under
the present law when fifty property
owners petition for such road the
commissioners are obliged to order it
built. This three mile road law has
caused more trouble and more indig-
nation than any other road law ever
placed on the books in Indiana, and at
this session there has been a wild
demand for it's repeal.

THE FARMERS UNION.

The Farmers Union is capable of
doing great good, and if operated on
wise lines it will prove itself strong
er than the money power. The
farmers must pull together and see
that the wealth and power of the
few shall be turned to the uses and
benefit of the many. The farmers
should strive to get control of govern
mental affairs into the hands of the
people, and change our farming edu-
cational methods to reach the masses.
Some advise that we should keep
out of politics; I say stay in. Stop
sending so many lawyers to the Leg
islature. If farmers are not quail
fled, educate them. If your Congress-
man does not serve your interests.
unite against him. Make the legisla-
tive bodies force publicity on the
corporation, and punish the violators
of the law among the wealthy and
powerful as severely and as surely
as they do among the poor and weak.

The Reason Why
Concluded from Page 1O)

though under present conditions
there seems to be but little encour-
agement to engage largely in the
industry or to invest much money
in pure bred animals. The meat
trust is barrier of no mean impor-
lance, and, farmers too must rid their
pastures of the fever tick. With the
tick eliminated, the government
quarantine will be removed, thus
permitting shipments to any market
if by such shipments a paying mar
ket can be found The elimination
of the tick will also permit the in
PRODUCTION of improved breeds and
thus the standard of individual ex-
cellence will be raised to a higher
level. Under the salubrious climatic
conditions prevailing in the South
land, well bred cattle can be grown
to remarkable age for less money
than where the rigors of a northern
winter must be faced, hence, even at
prices prevailing, CALLING as they are
because of the absence of parity be-
tween price paid to the producer
and price charged the consumer,
there is some profit. Some profit d.
rect and much profit indirectly, for
land occupied by cattle will become
very rich, and, fertile lands bring

abundant harvests. We herewith
charge the meat trust and the local
dealers in meat, with whatever dam
age may have been caused the South
by reason of any failure encountered
by southern men in raising beef for
the southern markets.
The cattle tick has to do with the
growth and full development Of cat
tie and should be eradicated. The
government has given the matter at
tention for years and made liberal
appropriation for fighting this pest
and it should have the cooperation
of each Southern State and every
farmer in the South, but the tick has
naught to do with present prices of
fat cattle on southern markets. The
tick has much to do with the grow
ing of cattle, the trust has all to do
in depressing the prices of southern
steers.

THE BARBED-WIRE FENCE.
BY r.. Andrews.

All honor to the man who first
The barbed-wire fence did make:
BY some he may be roundly cursed.
My praises he can take.
Demand so pressing he has met
On plains so long and wide;
But for his art, we'd have to let
Broad acres lie outside
And then the man who loves his ease.
No longer finds a seat,
His lounging laziness to please,
On barbs that pierce his meat!
For his invention, so renowned,
thank the inventor twice,
Because in it now have found
A moral of great price.
'Tis this: In action and in mind,
The neutral is pretence;
1t is impossible to find
A true man on the fence!

had never missed meeting until the
Monday night before his death, when
to Commander Hilburn came the
message: 81 am awful sorry I can't
be with you tonight, but l am too
sick. Give my love to the boys!"
This, the last message of the faith
full old soul, was fitting close to
life, the story of which is one of
simple love and loyalty worth the
telling in this day of dissention,
doubt and discord.
A Monument to Rucker.
A movement to erect a monument
to the memory of Amos Rucker has
been started. Subscriptions for the
purpose may be sent to E. H. Alley,
Historian of Camp w. H. T. Walker,
Atlanta, Ca, or to Uncle Remus's
Home Magazine. All money sent in
care of the Magazine will be turned
over to Mr.. Alley. The following re-
quest for donations has been made:
ITO the Business Men and Citizens
of Atlanta: E. H. Alley, Esq, His
torian of Camp w. H. T. Walker,
kindly solicits donations for the cree
ton of monument, not to exceed
one hundred dollars, to be placed
over the remains of Amos Rucker,
who was we'll known in the city of
Atlanta. He was faithful servant,
devoted to his master, and respected
by all Confederate soldiers who
knew him in the Army of Virginia.
After the War between the States
he remained, until his death, true to
the type of the old negroes who new
er lost for moment their respect for
true Confederate soldier. He at
tended all the reunions of the Con-
federate soldiers, when he had the
strength to reach them. In the dis
charge of his duty he was not only
faithful in the service of his master,
but was severely wounded while fear
lessly exposing his person on the bat
tie fields where the company to
which his master was attacked made
a noble record. All contributions
you may see proper to make for the
erection of suitable monument
over the grave of this faithful old
negro man will be highly appreci-
ated.

Two little epaulets of gold cord were
sewed to the cloth. Under the coat
was a white waistcoat which was al
most entirely hidden by the ribbons

satin breeches ended in a pair of high
boots or CATERS of red velvet, which
came above the knees and were more
supple than leather, for the thickness
of leather on legs that were often
painful from govt would have created
too much friction. He made a great
point Of these boots. He thought that
they made him look like a general,
ready at any moment to spring upon
a horse, though this was physical
impossibility to him since he was
much too fat and too infirm. He used

The BlundersA In Books That Describe
: ~, Foreign Countries. I
A lively article Oh the amusing mis-
takes to be- found in books appears in
the London Academy. The author in
referring to the blunders often made
in books that describe foreign coun-
tries notes that a travellers ignorance
Of the manners and customs Of strange
peoples or deliberate imposition by his
informants are both supposed to have
given a somewhat fabulous character
to some parts of the writings Of Herod-
otus. He quotes these lines, which he
found written on his desk when he
was attending lectures at Oxford:
Herodotus. Herodotus.
You could not spell. you ancient cuss.
The priests in Egypt gammoned you.
1t was not very hard to do.
But don't you think you'll CANNON U.s.
Herodotus. Herodotus.
The author adds: 1.-The second line Is
presumably a reference to the spelling
Of Ionic Greek. What follows alludes
to the story of the Nile issuing from
between the mountains Crophi and Mo-
phi. which certainly sounds like nurs-
cry tale. In justice. however. to the
historian we must remember that re-
cent Investigations have discovered
that many Of his narratives once re-
garded as mythical have been found to
have some foundation in fact.
'This is more than can be said Of
most medieval travellers tales. Some,
however. admit of explanation. as. for
Instance, Othello's account Of men
whose heads do grow beneath their
shoulders Raleigh is convinced that
the wonder is true, because every
child in the provinces of Arromaia and
Canuri afirms the same The origin
of the belief in such prodigies has
been found in the account given by
Olearius Of the Samojeds of northern
Muscovy. whose garments are made
like those that are called cosaques,
open only at the necks. When the cold
is extraordinary they put their CO.
saques over their heads and let the
sleeves hang down, their faces being
not to be seen but at the cleft which is
at the neck Whence some have taken
occasion to write that in these north
ern countries there are people without
heads, having their faces In their
hrna stasn
