Kentucky was the birthplace of
Abraham Lincoln, who became pres-

posals, but she is so afraid that peace
might escape h»r that she is almost
tailing over herself to close negotia-
tions.
While it is true tl|at the Indian
Territory Traction Co's. line is new,
yet we see no reason in that fact Wie-
the management should not, even iu
this early day in the history of that
enterprise, begin the work of beauti-
fying its rightof way. The beaut idea-
tion of such a road, where It traverses
so many towns and suburban districts,
should be considered a necessary fea

A Poius Town.
The most law-abiding town in In-1
dian Territory, according to Editor J.
S. liolden, is Tamaha. He writes in
the News;
"Here every one of the officers are
chvrch members; mayor, recorder, j
treasurer, oouncilmen ami morshal,
the latter being a^ Sunday school
teacher It is needless to say that the
laws are enforced here, that there is
no gambling, whisky peddling. Sab-
bath breaking nor lawlessness of any '
kind. The postofflee is closed all day
Sunday, also all other business
places."
