home Is now the solitary relic OF the

Even more extraordinary In the num-

ls that the geographical position Of
Frankfort Is such that a mixture Of

proved to be specially favorable to
financial genius.

HISTORY SHOWN BY FENCES

Tho progress and condition OF our
settlements can be traced In our

"Home Life In Colonial Days" As
Indians disappeared or succumbed. the
solid row of pales (stockade) gave
place to 4 log fence. which served well
to keep out depredatory animals. The
dangesx from Indians or wild animals
entirely disappeared, boards were still
not over-plenty. and the strength Of
the owner could not be overspent on
unnecessary fencing. Then came the
double-rail fence: two rails. held In

stones were not a. plentiful In the
fields as in early days. The "snake-
fence" or "virginia fence" so com
mon in the southern states, utilized
the second growth Of forest trees. The
split-rail fence. four or Ave rails In
height, was set at intervals with posts.
pierced with holes to hold the ends
Of the rails. These were used to
some extent In the East; but our west
ern states were fenced throughout with
rails split by sturdy pioneer rail-
splitters. among them young Abraham
Lincoln. Board fences showed the dny
Of the sawmill and Its plentiful supply;
the wire fences Of today equally prove
the decrease Of our forests and our
wood. and the growth of our mineral
supplies and manufactures of metals.
Thus even our fences might be called
historical monuments.
