~ SCOOP “HONEST ARES” “HONOR THEIR GUIDE TODAY Lincoln Memorial University Is “Most Democratic College in America’’ HUNDREDS OF NOTABLES GATHERED FOR EVENT Cabins Which Dot Mountain Sides Still Have Their Lin- colns and Hankses Cumberland Gap, Tenn,, Feb. 21 The greatest celebration of Lincoln birth day in all this broad land today is taking place here in the midst of the rugged Appalachians that Lincoln knew as a boy, The mountain folk of Cumberland Gap, the sons and daughters and grand- children of the rugged people among whom Lincoln’s father and mother lived and moved, are leading. the coun; try in honoring the memory of the na- tion’s savior, Under the ‘agspices of Lincoln Me- morial university, which is celebrat- ing its twentieth, anniversary, hun- dreds of notable men and women from every state are gathered amid the giant hills that once echoed hack the words of Henry Clay, of Calhoun and Andrew Jackson in bygone political barbecues. To many who made the pilgrimage to Cumberland Gap, the experience was like turning back pages of Ameri- can history to that chapter in ante- bellum days diring which the great emacipator—was— atypical mountain youth—for he was typical of this pic- turesque, rough-héwn country. The cabins that still dot the moun-! tain sides haye their Lincolns Hankses to this day, and while the world all about them has been striding forward away from rail-splitting and mule-driving, from candles and home- spun, they have not kept the pace. Their customs, their speech, their mannerisms are those of an era before Daniel Boone explored his west- ward, and their outlook on little ue changed from the days of Lincoln's | boyhood. Access to Six Books. It is said the great career of Lin- coln hinged on the fact that he had access to six books. s SPRING SUITINGS AND OVERCOATINGS oy In the Latest Patterns Fit and Workmanship Guaranteed HL J.
