on the barren plains of La Rue county,

school of poverty, rocked in the cradle
of adversely; yet amidst all of these
adverse circumstances, and through the
hardships and trials, this son of the
common people, toiled onward and up
ward and like the bright star that guild
ed the wise men of the old to Bethle-

harbor Of safety, penned the immortal
proclamation of Emancipation which
freed the bondsmen and united the Un-

Flag. So let us lay the choicest flower
upon his grave and revere his memory
in song and poetry.
