In Spite of His Ninety Years H. w.
McFadden of Havana, ILL.,, Attends to
Business With Same Vigor That En-
abled Him to Build UP One of Larg-
est Estates In County.
Havana, lll.-u. w. McI'adden, who
has just returned from a surveying
trip to his farms in the eastern part
OF Mason county, is considered II of
the most remarkable business mel in
this part Of the state. Mr.. McFaddcn
is ninety years old and is entirely deaf

business with the same interest and
vigor that enabled him to build up
one of the largest estates in the county.

marking crayOn in letters two inches
high. Not only does he read all his
mail in this way. but he is also i'll
tcnscly interested in the European
war, and I'LL of the war news from the
papers must be copied for him.
Mr.. McEadden is Il native of New
York state and came to Illinois when
a young maj of twenty-five, without
any more than a good education and a
sound mind and body. He first settled
in PEORIA, where he served as county
surveyor for six years. In 1862 he
came to Havana and built the first elc-
vator here. Five years later he estab-
lishcd the Mason County bank, the old
est financial institution in the county,
OF WHICH lie is now the president. y

He is one Of the most public spirited
men in Havana and has been SO all
his life. He can tell interesting stories
of the great political campaigns Of the
days before the war, when the rival
political parties would erect tail poles
and have great celebrations around
them. Followers of each party in a
community would strive to erect Il pole
taller than the one erected by the
rival faction. Poles hundreds of feet
high were put up, every man and boy
in the community coming out to 1elp.

spent large sums OF money for the
cause in the north and encouraged all
%ablebodied men to so and fight for the
Union.

This over-crowding and lack of equip
ment has sorely handicapped the
work of the association.
Two years ago the students, fifteen
of. them, started a Y. NJ. G. A. build
ing fund, at 800 per man, every man
of them working their way through
school. Last February those same
men with a hundred others conducted
a general canpaign throughout the
college to which the students and pro.
fessors responded with the.total record
gift of SIS, 500.
The State Board of Regents have
fully endorsed this movement by pass.
ing resolution to fully heat, light and
furnish with j%anitor service this new
building when erected. This aid is
given in view of the policy of the Y.
M. G. A. which states that every reg
istered student at the A. c., whether a
member of the association or not
shall be given full rights in the use of
the building. 1t is to be of service to
the very last MAI on the college cam
pus.
There are more young men gathered
together at the Agricultural College
than at any other point in the state.
And from the church census tits found
that there are more students from the
christian homes of North Dakota
gathered together there than at all
the private colleges in the state com
bined.
The work of the Y. NJ. G. A. is not
only helpful to the standards Of STU
dent life on the campus, but in train
ing and sending out into all parts OF
the state strong christian men who
will stand ready to serve church,
school and home, and every move
ment for the betterment of life in the
community.

very few of the boys who go away to

because of not being able to make

of our colleges the moral test, the call
for character and self-control, is far

great object the safe guarding Of the

Editor Adair County News:
Dear Sir:
That being my, old home I
thought 1t might be of interest
to you and my friends there to
tell you of what life is in the
Sunny South, in North Alabama.
This is, a fine country. The
lands are, as a rule, level and
productive. While the houses
and barns on the farms here are
not as good as those back there,
yet the price of land is so much
cheaper and the lands being as
good as ours and often better, a
person can afford to buy the land
and build homes to suit them.
selves. The land, as a rule, is a
red and gray subsoil with a dark
lone overlaid thereon. Cotton
grows fine here and these lands
will grow corn, hay, wheat, oats,
potatoes, vegetables. etc., just
as well as Kentucky. This is
the best stock country in the
South. The people just the
other day voted out the tick
which speaks for the forward
ness of the people. You can
grow fine grasses here too. One
man told me that he had six
acres of alfalfa last year off
which he cut five crops and sold
$500 worth of hay. You can see
fields of oats, rye, clover, alfalfa
and wheat now growing and the
good part of it is, these people
can grow a crop of corn on this
land after they cut the grain
crops off, the land thereby max
ing two crops on the same piece
of ground. They tell me that
they SOW oats in the fall, cut
them in the spring, SOW cowpeas
in June cut pea-hay in the late
summer and then SOW rye for a
cover crop all in the same year.
The abundance of water makes
stock raising profitable thing
for a man to follow too. Tobac-
co grows here, but not as well as
t does back there, but the price
is good on what they do have.
New Decatur and Decatur are
all ore town, located on the Ten
nessee river. There is quite an
excitement here now in regard
to the improvement of the river
and there is talk of building one
of the largest power plants just
below here that there will be in
the State. Some people will not
sell their lands on that account.
