GRAND CENTRAL OF UNDERGROUND

NOW MODEST HOTEL IN QUIET FOUNTAIN

Beside a picture of the "Grand Central Depot" of the Underground Rail- ' road, in the Fountain City heirloom exhibit there appears a concise explanation. This old depot has been turned into the Fountain City hotel 'which is found In the heart of the small Wayne county town. Pictures of the Coffins, who were residents of Fountain City at the. time that Levi Coffin was president of the Underground Railroad, also are found In the exhibit. The following is the written explanation which accompanies the photographs: Thousands of slaves, fleeing from the land of bondage, have found shelter and sympathy under the roof of the Grand Central Depot, and through t the 'enterprising President have been safely forwarded to Canada. Among the passengers traveling on the Old Newport line was a bright, intelligent woman, with more white than negro blood flowing in her veins. To this

woman Aunt Katie Coffin gave the name of Eliza Harris, whom Harriet Beecber Stowe in after years immortalized In Uncle Tom's , Cabin. Levi and Catharine' Coffin were the models from which Harriet Beecher Stowe created Pbineas and Rachel Hailiday, the two Quaker characters mentioned in Uncle Tom's Cabin. .

FOUNTAIN CITY, Ind.. May 26.rSaddlebags, which at one time held practically all the wealth of Wayne county, are a center of attraction at the .heirloom exhibit at the high school.

EXHIBIT OLD GUNS AT FOUNTAIN CITY

Attention to the great improvements which have come- about in modern warfare are brought out by the heirloom exhibit at Fountain City. Flint lock muskets which were used in the old Indian wars are on display. One of the lodest of these belongs to L. J. Wooward and it was used by his great, great grandfather. A Confederate sword captured at Ft. Smith, Arkansas, by Major M. M. Lacey In 1863 occupies a prominent place among the relics.

A aword which was used in the Ger

man war 120 years ago which is the property of little Reed Thomas, is at

tracting much attention because of its

antiquity. .It was given to Mrs. O. C

Thomas when she was a little girl by an old German soldier who made his

home with her parents.

The exhibit of saddlery in the west room of the high school building is perhaps .the. best- of the kind ever shown In the state.
