'MY HOME TOWN'
Backward Glimpses By Spring- fleidians to Places They've Loved and Sull Cherish
By CELIA RAY
PLEASANT HOPE, one of the old- est communities In Polk county. is the home town of the Reverend M. F. Cowd.n. pastor emeritus of the Woodland Heights Presby- terian church.
Mr. Cowden was born on a farm three miles from Pleasant Hope and 17 miles from the square in Springfield He lived at the old home until he was 25 years of age and recalls many colorful happen- Ings in the days Cowden when Pleasant Hope had one store and a black- smith shop.
"We got our mail once a week i when I was a boy." sald Mr. Cowden. "It was carried on horseback from Morrisville. The postmaster would take the mall to the back part of the store and call off the names of those having letters. Everyone in the community was always there! and would answer 'here' when his name was called for a letter.
· "Later we got our mall three times ; a week and thought that was mak- ing great progress so we put up post boxes. When I left the farm we were receiving mall every day."
Mr. Cowden says that time was when the Cowdeu and Fullerton families were about the only ones to be found at Pleasant Hope.
"If a person met a man there in those days and he said his name : wasn't Cowden, then It was pretty sure to be Fullerton," said Mr. Cow- den. His mother was a member of the Fullerton family.
"When I was nearly grown." he sald. "the Pleasant Hope academy was organized It ran along a ' -
years so successfully that It was chartered as the Pleasant Hope col- lege. That ran many years and was one of the thriving new colleges of the southwest. It was there that I received my education."
1 Mr. Cowden's first business ven · ture was with a well drill. His , brother and a partner owned the ! drill and when Mr. Cowden was about 20 years of age he bought the partner's interest. The drill n :s drawn by a mule which he bought on credit from his uncle for $125.
"Well drilling was hard work- but we weren't afraid of hard work In those days." he said. "I drilled
wells and paid for the dejil and n.y mule and had some money 1~it . Then I sold the drill for twice what , I had pald for it so I thought it had ¡ been quite a profitable investment."
New buildings have taken the place of old landmarks and r' y changes have come over the old home town aince he was a boy, Mr. Cowden finds on his frequent visits there.
"The old academy is gone," he said. "They have a new community high school, a farmers exchange. and three churches instead of the one we used to have."
Mr. Cowden often is called to Pleasant Hope to conduct funeral services for life long friends the memory of whom is 'interwoven in the community's history,

'MY HOME TOWN'
Backward Glimpses Ry Spring- fieldians to Places They've Loved and Sull Cherish
By CELIA RAY
IT IS to Grundy county, Missouri, that W. B. Linney returns when he visits his boyhood home. Trenton is his old home town, but he lived on a farm seven miles northeast of there until after he had been graduated from the law depart- ment of Missouri university. Then he opened a law office in the town. He also taught one term of school Linney That was four In Grundy county. miles west of Trenton.
"I have gone back for frequent visits to Trenton," said Mr. Linney. "The last time I was there. however. i was in 1924 when I was grand chan- cellor of the Mi.corri knights of Fythias. I left Trenton 20 years ago-doesn't time fly?"
Principal among the changes Mr. Linney no'ces when he returns to his old home town is the large; amount of pavement which has been put in. This. incidentally, should be especially gratifying to him for

Trenton peopit Biv
for starting the paving boom. Mr. Linney. recalls. however. that at the time he was advocating the im- provement there were plenty of pro- ple opposing him with Indignation "First we got a sewage system for the town by a few of us property owners getting behind the project." explained Mr Linney.
"Then I suggested to the men itv- .ng on my street that we do some paving The property owners on our street incorporated under the busi- nes: corporation statutes of Missouri : and we got our paving at actual cost We bid on It just as the out- siders did and since of course oui , bid was the lowest we got the con- ; tract. Our bid was above the cost price and we refunded that to the property owners. After our street I had been finished property owners
on another street bought charter and they also paved that ¡street. That same plan was tried a'- ; most all over the town."
Mr. Linney said that brick paving i was used and it still is in excellen ¡condition. Paving at the time that was put in was not done with such elaborate machinery as now so the equipment expense did not mount very high.
"There were a lot of people. 'cussing' me at the time we were starting the improvements." recalled Mr. Linney. "but everytime I go back now they thank me for it."

'MY HOME TOWN' Backward Glimpses By Spring- fieldians to Places They've Loved and Sull Cherish
By CELIA RAY
GUY C. GIBBS, circuit clerk, last week made a trip to his old home town, Versailles, Mo., in Morgan county. From there he and his younger brother drove into the country 18 miles south of the town near the Itt- tle community of Proctor where their grandfather settled when he came from Ten- nessee. The farm Gibbs is on the banks of the Osage river. "It was 20 years since my brother and I had seen my grandfather" .: old homestead," said Mr. Gibbs, "and we just decided we would like to go back and look it over. It was difficult to get there because of the roads.
"There we saw the old log house he had built when he settled the Jand. Four families settled in Mor- gan county about the same time when the migration first started from Tennessee and . my grandpar- ents were among these.
"At the old homestead we also saw the little house 'built by my father on the 80 acres of land my grandfather gave him from the farm when he married. My brother couldn't remember anything about the old place, but I even remem- bered the trees standing about the house."
Mr. Gibbs left' Versailles 15 years ago, after he had finished his unl- versity course. It was then he came to Springfield. On his visit there last week he found many old friends and relatives, but also countless changes.
"My oldest relative s an au :.: who livea in Versailles," said Mr. Gibbs," and while we were there my brother and I had her write the family history for us so we can al- ways keep it. We had talked it over and we knew if she died could never get a complete account of my grandfather's career. Now we have this where always can keep it."
Mr. Gibbs' father left the farm soon after he was married. He served two terms as sheriff and then was admitted to the bar. He practiced law until his death several years ago.
"The visit back to Versailles and my grandfather's home were inter- esting to me," said Mr. Gibbs. "I had wondered -just how everything there was looking-and I am glad I went to see."
