Hem ingford, a beautiful little city, lo cated neur the geographical center of tho county, is the prcsont seat of county government. It war lo cated thoro by the sensible choice of the people of tho county, after tlio downfall of old Nonpareil, but Allianco. after gaining the distinc tion of a division station of tho B. & M. railroad, then tho U. S. Land Office, her peoplo have looked with covetous eyes upon tho coun ty seat, and tho time having expir ed during which they wero prohib ited by law from making au effort to movo tho coveted seat of gov ernment, thoy began the agitation last summer. Tlioy circulated a petition praying the county com missioners to call an election, and a month ago it was presented. At the samo time tho Hemingford people and fanners generally, pre nented a counter petition. As it was an important mattor the board did not grant or rofuso the petition but passed it over to some future time. The Alliance people becamo anxious and at once commenced mandamus proceedings to eoinpal tho board to call a county scat election. Judge Westover consent ed to hear the case at chambers, and did so at his othco in Rush ville, yesterday. Hemingford was represented by her citizens, H. R. Green, S. B. Libby, E. Gorher, L. Sampy, I.

Lincoln was not onlv that, but was also a man of God, prepared for and sent in j tho time of groat crisis. "Lincoln was tho child of nature. From the bosom of mother earth ho imbibad two great thruths: Liberty and equality. There was no pootry in his onvlronment, yet his na turo gavo forth rays of sunshine which lighted all around. Tho spoaker thon touched lightly and with beautiful sim plicity upon the many well known noble and touching char acteristics of Lincoln. Ho men tioned tho humor, industry, ap plication, tenderness and love, all conducing to tho great and noble character of our martyred president. Tho regligious side of Lin coln's character was not neglect ed in tho remarks of tho speaker and he told how, ovon in tho handling of armies and in tho steering of tho ship of state, Lin coln depended upon a higher power, and in humble prayer ho met his God and asked His bles sing upon tho bleeding coan try. As a final and comprohonsive note upon tho character of Lin coln Rev. Clarko compared him to Samson. Said ho, "Lincoln sat with his mighty arms out streched. Ono clasped tho col umn of slavery and tho other the column of secession. Ho pulled the mighty temple of tho con spiracy down and died crushed beneath its weight." As tho lesson to bo learned ho then cited tho many forms of ty ranny now oppressing us. Not tho least of those are the tyranny of capital; tho tyranny of politi cal parties and tho tyranny of drink."
