Hodjjenville, which is near the geo graphical center of the state of Ken tucky and not far from the center ol population of the United States, prom ises to become a new mecca In Amer ica and the Lincoln farm a second Mount Vernon. Although Abraham Uncoln had other homes, there ie a sentiment about his birthplace that does not attach to any of them. He lived here for eight years and before left, knew very much of what Mark Twain eallB "the model little farm that raised a man." He went swim ming in the nearby creek and by the light from the huge fireplace In the little one room cabin he learned' his first lessons. It was In 180G that Thomas Lincoln brought his bride, Nancy Hanks, and established the rude little home that three years lulr was lu welcome into the world the future president. Theirs was the rough life of pioneers; the farm was then, as it Is now, a sterile piece of land, and to make both ends meet the older Lincoln did odd jobs of carpentry In the vicinity, besides working the farm. The actual necea titles of life were seldom lacking, but it was a life of severe poverty. Foi some years Thomas Lincoln served as a county supervisor of public roads, an Important position In that time. I.an owners paid their poll tax with pick and shovel then, and on road niendin days he used to take little A' e along, both for company and for help. Ther re old timers here now who claim that there is not a section of the old pike within several miles of his home along which Abraham Lincoln has not played or on which he has not driven als ox team. At this time Kentucky offered few allurements to a poor man and In 1814 tho Lincoln's sold the little farm and moved to Indiana. Subsequently Ah raham Lincoln moved into Illinois and the rest Is history. Put through ail tho years that followed he never for got his first home. He rarely referred to It, but after he had become presi dent of tho United States he Is known to have said: "When the war Is ovci I would like very much to visit my old Kentucky home. I remember It well.' But he never did return and the farm and Utile log cabin had a varied his tory.
