During Mrs. Stowe’s visit to the Kentucky home, according to a friend, “Harriet did not seem to notice anything in particular had happened, but sat much of the time as though abstracted in thought. When the negroes did funny things and cut-up capers, she did not ~. seem to pay the slightest attention to them. Afterward. however, in reading “Uncle Tom,” I recognized scene after scene of that visit portrayed with most minute fidelity, and knew at once where the material for that portion or the story had been gathered.” I While living in Cincinnati, where her father was conducting the Lane Theological Seminary, Harriet Beecher became obsessed by the desire to (10 something to help banish the slavery evil. During this period she paid her memorable visit to Kentucky, viewing the life of ease and luxury among the Kentucky planters as pictured in the ‘ household of Colonel Shelby. A hundred years ago the stately three-storey Kennedy mansion was set among handsome trees and surrounded by rich fields of growing crops. In the . rear was the usual array or cabins and ’outbuildings that trailed off from “the house”. Today the fallen wall exposes the interior that once resounded with festivities. Bats and rats hold carni- Val where once the‘ in- -fair” brougnt together the belles and beaux from the countryside. It was while visiting at the home of General Kennedy that Harriet Beecher Stowe got her first-hana mrormation as to plantation life ' and gathered data for her novel. For» more than three-quarters of a century, this boox has been a cause of contention between opponents on that flaming issue of the nineteenth century and was a con- tributing cause to the Civil War. near Lancaster, Ky., famous as the scene of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”, is rap- idly becoming a min. Recently a sec- tion of wall collapsed exDosing t0 the wind and weather the interior of the historic old mansion. In view of the fact that this spot was looked upon as a shrine by. the op- ponents of slavery, it is strange that it has thus been allowed to Ian mto decay without eflorts to p!eser’.e me ancient structure, even for its historzc interest. General Thomas Kennedy, depicted as Colonel Selby in Mrs. Stowe"s novel was a master of an cszaze of 15,000 acres. acquired mostly through land grants and extended by' purchase. He was surveyor, slave owner and ener- getic farmer. He served in the Legis- lature for several terms, and was a man of considerable importance in his neighborhood. He died in 1836 at the age of 74.

One would haVe thought that more than 12 papers bore the appellation, Chronicle, but 12 even is the count. Six Sentinels guard the rural popula- tion from coast to coast. Names taken from heavenly bodies seem ever popular and in each of Can- ada’s eight provinces they are shimng brightly. There are papers called Star, Sun, North Star, Mercury, Planet, Comet and even the Moon is there, all reflecting light from Canadian com- munities. _ What is' the most popular name tor a weekly newspaper in Canada? you may ask. One often wonders where all the names for Pullman cars are found, wno searches them out and who decides they are eminently fitted to embellish the side of a railroad coach. In Climax, there is The Climax, a readable little paper reporting the climax of the harvest, the marriage ceremony, the price of hogs, and the church social. The Cllm’ax Climax, published weekly, hasn’t met its climax yet. Long may it live. Cut Knife Grinder and the Antigonish Casket are 'the Standontsâ€"Arrow, Clipper. Breeze. Light and Nugget But there is something else I ponder over. Who chooses the names for tne country newspapers? There are some seven hundred and sixty country newspapers in Canada. True, a lot or them posses the every-day run or newspaper namesâ€"Herald, Journal, News and so on, but here and there one comes across a most unusual name -â€"one that only a most courageous country editor would choose. For instance, in Outlook, a small town in the prairies, there is a papcs. What a problem it must have been to choose its name, but right at hand the name was waiting. So in Outlook, Sask., the weekly journal is called the Outlook Outlook. . A toucn of genius I’m sure. In Out Knife, another spot on the map, the village sheet is called the Grinder. It ’grinds the news exceed- ingly small and makes it readable for an eager population. Pronounce these on your new set of teeth: Mount Forest Confederate and Representative, Bowmanvme Canadian Statesman and News. Caledonia Grand River Sachem. or Moosornm World and Spectator. Whether it’s laziness or Just good sense I don’t know, but many editors have simply chosen names for their papers after whatever name the citi- zens of their towns 'are known. For instance, in Haileybury we have the Haileyburian, in Preston it’s the Pres- tonian, and in Wolfville, (N.S.) it’s the Acadian. One often smiles at the minister when he tacks a mile-long name on a. two-foot infant. Some very ambitious and lengthy titles are printed at the top of a small newspaper With a cir- culation of a thousand or less. Patriotism has inspired Several of the names. There's the Dartmouth Patriot. Gilbert Plains Maple Leaf, Parry Sound Canadian, Manitou Western Canadian. and Virden Advance. CANADIAN, WEEKLIES ‘ HAVE CURIOUS NAMES Here and there a paper is given a name to denote its political. affilia- tions. The Richmond Hill Liberal and the Brampton Conservator are exam- ples of this. But what inspired the names of the Iroquois Falls Broke Hustler and the Antigonish Casket? Not to be outdone by their large American competitor, the folks or Cobourg have their Saturday Morning Post. Perhaps that’s to cheer up the homesick Americans. \ Other names have evidently been chosen because they are appropriate to the districtâ€"the Cochrane Northern Post. Rossland Miner, Greenwood Ledge, Banff Crag and Canyon. and the Rock Mountain Mountaineer. Amongst the names that are unusual but pleasing are the Yarmouth Light, the Canso Breeze, The Czar Clipper and Burk’s Falls Arrow.
