With the demolition of the old Kel
ley tavern, torn down to make room
for a barn, there passed one of the
famous old hostelries of Illinois. Built
in 1839, the old tavern became the
stopping place of all west bound trav
elers, it being the only hotel between
Danville and Urbana on the state
road.
For years it enjoyed great popular
ity, especially during its ownership by
Joseph Kelley, who operated it from
1840 until 1864. During the '50s it
was the regular stopping place of the
old time circuit riding lawyers, among
whom were Abraham Lincoln and
Judge David Davis. Both Lincoln
and Davis were warm friends of Kel
ley, whose ready wit and great fund
of stories made him a favorite with
both men.
Often Lincoln's coming, being her
alded about the surrounding country,
drew scores of farmers to the hotel,
and not infrequently residents of Ur
bana drove down to enjoy the contest
between the two great story tellers.
However well equipped with new ma
terial was Mr. Kelley he always found
himself vanquished by Mr. Lincoln,
whose fund of anecdotes seemed in
exhaustible. Old residents say that
the two champions frequently told
stories almost all night Lincoln sit
ting in an immense armchair,, with
wide -rockers and a buffalo robe cush
ion, known to the household as "Abe's
chair." The old chair is still In the
possession of the Kelley family, tme
of its most cherished heirlooms.
The old tavern played an Important
part in the social life of the commun
ity. Here during the winter months
assembled all the young people for
miles around to dance and enjoy
themselves. In the yard were held
the turkey shoots on Thanksgiving
and Christmas, when the pioneers as
sembled to prove their wonderful
skill with their old muzzle loading
firearms. Whisky on these occasions
flowed freely, and some famous fights
have occurred about the old building,
but for the most part the early settler
was good natured, even in his cups,
and no serious damage was done in

The greatest menace to the country
merchant to-day Is the mail order
business, and with the decline of the
country merchant comes inevitable
loss to the citizens of both town and
country. What at first was considered
a great convenience and an exhibition
of commendable enterprise has grown
to be one of the crying commercial
evils. The success of the mail order
house is the result of constant ex
tensive and intelligent advertising. It
is not by persistent swindling as some
tell us, for no business was ever built
up in that way. The home merchant
can do no better than to adopt the
same method, the judicious use of
printer's ink.

Much of the trading away from

Lincoln Eminently Fair.
.Gen. Taylor was triumphantly elect
ed, and it became Lincoln's duty, as
whig member of congress from Illi
nois, to recommend certain persons to
fill government offices in that state,
says Helen Nicolay in St Nicholas.
He did this after he returned to
Springfield, for his term in congress
ended on March 4, 1849, the day that
Gen. Taylor became president The
letters that he sent to Washington
when forwarding the papers and appli
cations of people who wished appoint
ment were both' characteristic and
amusing; for In his desire not to mis
lead or to do injustice to any man,
they were very apt to say more in
favor of the men he did not wish to
see appointed than in recommenda
tion of his own particular candidates.
This absoMte and impartial fairness
to friend and foe alike was one of his
strongest traits, governing every ac
tion of his life. If it had not been for
this, he might possibly have enjoyed
another term in congress, for there
had been talk of reelecting him. In
spite of his confession to. Speed that
"being elected to congress, though I
am very grateful to our friends for
having done It, has not pleased me as
much as I expected," this must have
been flattering. But there were many
able young men in Springfield who
coveted the honor, and they had en
tered into an agreement among them
selves that each would be content
with a single term. Lincoln, of course,
remained faithful to this promise. His
strict keeping of promises caused him
also to lose an appointment from Pres
ident Taylor as commissioner of the
general land office, which might easily
have been his, but for which he had
agreed to recommend some other Illi
nois man. A few weeks' later the
president offered to make him gov
ernor of the new territory of Oregon.
This attracted him much more than
the other-office had done, bat he de
clined .because his wife was unwilling
to live in ft place so far away.
. His career in congress proved of
great advantage to him In after, life;
having, given him a close knowledge
of the workings of the federal govern
ment' nnd brought him into contact'
with political leaders from all parts of

much toward checking and correcting
this growing evil, by liberal advertis
ing and publishing prices, they should
not be expected to do it all. Every
newspaper should preach home trade,
every teacher should instil it into bis
pupils in the school room, every min
ister should preach it from the pul
pit The debating societies and po
litical conventions should discuss it
fhe interests of town and country
and newspaper and church, and so
ciety generally,' are so interwoven and
so identical that whatever injures one
will eventually injure all. When the
merchants are compelled to bring on
smaller stocks, and employ less help,
and pay cheaper rent they are not
alone the sufferers; the whole com
munity feels the loss. The price of
real estate is largely dependent on its
proximity to a good town. Rents are
dependent on the amount of business.
Ihe merchant can move to some other
town and establish himself again more
readily than can the professional man
and many others who have built up
business through years of acquaint
anceship and establishment of char
acter. If the farmer, or property own
er in town, want to sell out they are
the greatest sufferers they can't
move their property to some place
where people are booming their town
'and country by patronizing home.
The remedy lies in education and
publicity. In many places that edu
cation will come through bitter ex
perience, but in other communities,
where they are quicker to detect the
approaching evil, nnd heed more read
ily the warnings of the press and
friends ef home, they may correct the
evil more readily.
Wealth aad power are corrupting
Influences and the mail order houses
are probably not sending out as hon
est goods as they once did. They have
learned the tricks of imitation and
substitution and how easy it Is to
deceive the public. But if the mail
order man is' honest and his methods
of advertising legitimate in every way,
his success Is of no interest to us
and will never benefit our community
In the slightest degree. If crops should
faU or sickness render us short of
money we could not expect him to
trust us for a dollar we must always
look to the home merchant for credit
in times of adversity.
Who is to blame? The mail prder
house? Not in the least We alone
are to blame. The near-flighted mer
chant who has lost trade by not ac
quainting the community with what
he has to sell and with the fact
that people could obtain at home,
where they could personally examine
them and return them if defective In
any way, goods at as low a price as
any catalogue house can sell them,
every man and woman is to blame
who sends away for goods; and every
one who fails to raise his voice In
favor of home trade. The editor holds
the most responsible position aad
should be the leader in this move
ment -The
remedy has been outlined In a
way. We will suggest the first
Let merchants buy at
sented. That is why I say the rem
edy lies in education.
Most mail order houses claim they
are enabled to sell cheaper than coun
try dealers because they buy in larger
quantities and get especially low
prices. This 'is often a base mis
statement of facts; let me cite an in
stance: A stock man from eastern
Washington was visiting in Kansas
City. One morning, walking with his
nephew, who was a clerk in a lead
ing wholesale hardware house, he
asked where Bland & Co.'s store was
located. "Don't think I ever heard of
them," replied the young man. - "O,
yes, I do remember the firm; they
have no store, they have an office In
(giving the name of the building),
but I don't see how they can seU hard
ware as low as your home merchants,
for while we sell them goods at less
than retail price, we don't give them
as low prices as regular -dealers, be
cause they buy in such small quanti
ties, just as they get orders." The
stockman was greatly surprised, he
supposed he had been- dealiag with
one of the largest firms In the city.
The mail order business haa devel
oped so slowly, and works so quietly
that few persons realize the magni
tude it has assumed nor to what ex
tent it is now sapping the Ufehlood of
many small cities and towns. Even
now we hear the excuse given for
sending away for goods, that the mer
chants carry such poor stocks. The
wonder is that they carry any.
It Is a fact that country merchants
sell the same class of goods cheaper
than the big city merchants, and there
are good reasons for it difference in
rents, insurance, clerk hire, etc. The
same is' equally true as to the mail
order house It may save In rent and
in several way3 over the big mer
chants, but it pays more for advertis
ing, packing and shipping, so that
for the same quality of goods, the
home merchant can, and generally
does, undersell the catalogue house.
The latter makes selling goods a study
and his advertising is carefully word
ed and weighed. He uses a few stand
ard articles for bait by selling them
at cost, but he adds enough to the
price of other articles, -with which the
public is not familiar, to make up the
loss. Perhaps the country merchant
could not duplicate the price on theso
articles while he would be perfecsiy
willing to sell the whole biU oreartd
at the mail order house price.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Will
Meat Caeca and Should Interest
Every Sufferer.
Nobody who has sot endured the
suffering caused by nervous head
ache can realize the awful agony o
Its victims. Worst of all. the ordin
ary treatment caanot be relied upor
to cure nor eveu to give relief. Some
doctors will say that if a person is
subject to these headaches there is
nothing that can be doae to prevent
their recurreace.
Nervous aeadaches, as well as sea
ralgia, are caused by lack of nutrition
the nerves are starved. The oaly
way to feed the nerves is through the
blood and It is in this way that Dr
Williams' Pink Pills have accom
plished so many remarkable cures.
Mrs. Addle Merrill, of r 39 Uaion
Street Auburn, Me., says: "For
years I suffered from nervous head
aches, which would come on me every
five or six weeks and continue for
several days. The pain was so severe
that 1 would be obliged to go to bed
for three or four days each time. It
was particularly intense over my right
eye. I tried medicines but got no re
lief. I had no appetite and when
the headache passed away I felt as if
I had beea sick for a month. My
blood was thin and I was pale, weak
and reduced in weight
"I read about Dr. WiUlams' Pink
Pills in a paper and decided to try
them. I first noticed that they be
gan to give me an appetite and I
commenced to gain In weight aad
color. My headaches stopped aad
have not returned and I have never
felt so well as I do now."
