INCREASE IN VALUES.
When the pioneers entered their land from the government, the majority secured it for the entry fee of $1.25 per acre. Today that same land is valued at from $200 to $250 per acre. Twenty-five years ago, and at a later period even than that, there were many acres of swamp land that the owners could not give away, that to- day are regarded as the most valuable in the county. Drainage, scientific cultivation, the in- troduction of modern methods and machinery, the improvement of buildings, the introduction of fine stock, and the improvement of railroad

HISTORY OF CHRISTIAN COUNTY
facilities, have all played their part in the in- crease in land values. This land is not going to decrease, either. Available land for agricultural purposes is daily shrinking. Each extension to the boundaries of a village, means just that much less land for agricultural purposes. Every new building, eachı inch of railroad laid, in fact all improvements which civilization makes, results in a reduction of the amount of land unoccu- pied, and the consequent increase in value of what is left. Experts in financial matters de- clare that for the sound, conservative investor there can be found no better or safer way for him to gain returns upon his money, than to secure an interest in farm lands. The men of Christian County fortunate enough to own farm land realize this, and are not in the market with their property, preferring to hold to it and to further increase its value by adding to the improvements upon it, and continuing to develop its fertility.
LOCATION.
Christian County lies in the central part of Illinois, between the thirty-ninth and fortieth parallels of latitude. Its greatest length from north to south is thirty-two and one-half miles ; its greatest breadth from east to west is twenty- seven miles and it contains 700 square miles or about 448,000 acres. It is bounded on the north by Sangamon and Macon counties, on the east by Macon and Shelby counties, on the south by Shelby and Montgomery counties and on the west by Montgomery and Sangamon counties.
COUNTY SEAT.
Taylorville, the county seat, is located near the center of the county on the Wabash, Balti- more & Ohio Southwestern, and Chicago and Illinois Midland railroads. It is eighty-one miles northeast of St. Louis : twenty-nine miles southwest of Decatur and twenty-seven miles northeast of Springfield, the capital of the state.
POPULATION.
The population of the county, according to the census of 1910 was 34,594. The rate of increase is shown by the following census statistics : 1870-20.363; 1880-28.227; 1890-30,531; 1900 -32.790. Since 1910, the increase in population has been very rapid owing to the industrial de-
velopment in South Fork Township, where the villages of Kincaid, Jerseyville, Bulpitt and Tovey have been recently organized. It is safe to say that the population of the county in 1917 approaches very close to the 40,000 mark.
TOWNSHIPS.
The county is divided into sixteen full and eight fractional congressional townships. For political purposes it is divided into seventeen towns (commonly called townships) as follows : Assumption, Bear Creek, Buckhart, Greenwood, Johnson, King, Locust, May, Mosquito, Mt. Au- burn, Pana, Prairieton, Ricks, Rosemond, South Fork, Stonington and Taylorville.

PATRIOTISM OF CIIRISTIAN COUNTY.
The development of the human race has not been a peaceful growth. On the other hand, as far back as history reveals strife has been, at times, the world's portion. Situations have been brought about that, seemingly, only appeal to arms could change or establish and hence, in every section more or less attention must be ac- corded its military history as a part of its truth- ful annals. Cruel, elemental and relentless as war is, at best, there still can be no question as to its bringing to light certain qualities in men that touch very nearly their highest possible attributes. With other admirable qualities and noble virtues, the people of Christian County have ever been noted for their patriotism, and in every conflict in which the nation has been engaged, have proved loyal and valorous. The following record, as nearly as possible, includes every resident of Christian County who served in the wars in which the United States has been engaged.
THE MEXICAN WAR.
Christian County had no regular organization in the Mexican War, although one company was raised and reported by its captain, H. N. Vande- veer, but it was not accepted, as the state regi- ments had already been filled. The county was well represented, however, in the various regi- ments.
Prior to the formation of the county company, a number who desired to fight in defense of their country enlisted in other companies, so that the name of Christian County, then not so long formed into a separate section, was not un- known in the Mexican War.
H. M. Vandeveer, with rank of captain, became assistant quartermaster, and on the staff of General Wool, was at the battle of Buena Vista and was the messenger that carried General Tay- lor's famous dispatch, "A little more grape, Cap- tain Bragg." Other names belonging to Chris- tian County were : Dial Davis, John Sanders, Wesley White of Company C, Fourth regiment. commanded by Capt. Isaac C. Pugh; George Hor-

THE CIVIL WAR.
The great struggle known in American his- tory as the Civil War, began with the firing on Fort Sumter, April 12, 1861, and ended with the surrender of Gen. Robert E. Lee and his army to Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox, Va., April 9, 1865. In this war Christian County was represented as follows :
