Sparsely settled frontier community
In the fall of 1882, when Lincoln was
looking for a job, there were at least
four stores in New Salem. The most
pretentious OF these was that of Hill
& MCNEIL, which carried a large line

board in advance, boldly resolved to
buy store. He was not long in find
ing an opportunity to purchase. James
Herndon had already sold out his
half interest in the Herndon Brothers
store to William F. Berry, and Rowan

Berry, was only too glad to find a
purchaser of his half in the person of

owners. But about the time their notes
fell due, the Trent brothers disappear
ed. The few groceries in the store were
seized by creditors and the doors were
closed, never to be opened again.
Misfortunes now crowded upon Lin
coin. His late partner, Bill Berry,
soon reached the end of his wild ca
reer. Badly broken in health he sought
the shelter of his fathers roof; and one
morning a farmer from the Rock Creek
neighborhood drove into New Salem
with the news that Bill Berry was
dead
The appalling debt which had ac-
cumulated was now thrown upon Lin
coins shoulders. 1t was then too COM
mon a fashion among men who be-
come deluged in debt to clear out in
the expressive language of the pion-
eer, as the Trents had done; but in
this, as in most respects, Lincoln was
questionable. He quietly settled
down among the men he owed, and
promised to pay them. For fifteen
years he carried his burden-a load
which he cheerfully and manfully bore,
but one so heavy that he habitually
spoke of it as the national debt. y
AS late as 1S4S, so we are informed
by Mr.. Herndon, Mr.. Lincoln, then a
member of Congress, sent home money
saved from his salary to be applied
on this obligation. All the notes, with
interest at the high rates then prevail
ing, were at last paid. Lincoln was still

coin was not dissolved until the spring
of 1884, about year and a half after
their joint career began. From and
after May eth. 1888. until they ceased
doing business, their store was the
postoffice, and Lincoln was the post
master. Surprise has been frequently
expressed that President Jackson
should ever have appointed a Wing to
an office; but the fact that Lincoln
kept 1.-The only grocery in New Sa-
lem and that he was honest and
popular, evidently outweighed all par
tisan objections which might have
been raised.
AS times dragged along, the manage
ment of the business drifted more and
more into the hands of Berry Lin
coin had learned surveying, and he
was frequently called to the country
The stock of groceries was on the
wane. The numerous obligations of
the firm were maturing, with no
money to meet them. Both members
of the firm, in the face of such OBJ
stacles, had lost courage; and when
Alexander and William Trent one day
asked if the store was for sale, an
affirmative answer was most eagerly
given. A price was agreed upon and
the sale was made. Now, neither Alex
ander Trent nor his brother .'BilT, had
any money; but as Berry & Lincoln
had bought without money, it seemed
only fair that they should be willing to
sell on the same terms. Accordingly,
the notes of the Trent brothers were
accepted for the purchase price, and
the store was turned over TO the new

southwest of New Salem-and one
night they broke in his doors and win
dOWS and overturned his counters and
sugar barrels. 1t was 100 much for
Radford and ne sold out next day 10
William G.. Green for q, $500 note sign
ed by Green. AT the latter's request,
Lincoln made an inventory of the
stock and offered him $3.50 for ia
proposition that was cheerfully ac-
cepted. Berry & Lincoln being unable
to pay cash, assumed the $500 note
payable to Radford and gave Green
their joint note for $3.50. The little
grocery owned by James RutledSe was
the next to succumb. Berry & Lincoln
bought it at a bargain, their joint note
taking the place of cash. The three
stores were consolidated. Their agre-
gate cost must have been not less than
81, 500.
The only store now remaining was
the general store of Hill & Mcneil;
and if this had been for sale on any
terms we may rest assured 1t would
have passed into the hands of Berry "
Lincoln. But they had secured a
monopoly Of the grocery business,
strictly speaking, and were probably
content. Here we see two penniless
men, within the brief space of a few
weeks, become the proprietOrs of three
stores and quit buying only because
there are no more to purchase. The
Sl|eCLdcle Is d. c-l--OESillS d. II - ci4llc1H-
ing; but the whole transaction APPLY
attests the unfaltering faith which the
people of New Salem had in Lincoln's
honesty confidence which, as we
shall see, was not misplaced.
William T. Berry, the partner of
Lincoln, was the son of a Presbyterian
minister, the Rev. John Berry, who
lived on Rock Greek, five miles from
New Salem. The son had strayed from
the footsteps of the father; for he was
a hard drinker, a gambler, a fighter
and "a very wicked young man."
Singular, it may seem that Lincoln
should have picked out such a partner;
but in truth he did not select "Bill'
Berry, but rather accepted him as
partner from the force of circum-
stances. 1t required only a little time
to make it plain that the partnership
was wholly uncongenial. Lincoln dis
played little business capacity. He
loved books as Berry loved liquor, and
hour after hour he was stretched out
on the counter of the store or under
a shade tree, reading Shakespeare or
Burns, or any book he could borrow
He trusted largely to Berry; and
Berry rapidly squandered the profits
of the business in riotous living. The
