Fishing Notes

Shad fishing continues poor and some
who fish on shares have become discour-
aged and quit so that it is difficult for the
net owners to get men. All fishermen
usually have all expenses paid by May
LIST, and what they get after that is clear
but all will be deep in debt at that date
this year.
The largest catch was last Monday, vet
it was comparatively small with an aver
age OF not over 40. The exceptional
large catches made on Monday were by
Munyan and Reed 146, Shape and Staul-
cup los, John S. Dolbow and Samuel L.
Raine 100, Shultz and Justice SO, VIM.
Vanderslice 95, VIM. Brown IS, Burden
and Seeds 81.
Very few were out on Tuesday because
OF the gale. Wm. Vanderslice who has
a dory, the Norwegian style OF boat, got
80, while others got from 10 on down.
On Wednesday 40 was an exceptional
catch, while some got none. On Thurs
day the fishing was a little better. A
few nets got 80, while the average was
about 20and on down.
The price was $35 on Monday. II
went down TO $27 on Tuesday and nm f.
Sal on Thursday.
1t IS becoming apparent to fishermen
that the dory style of boats is the best

cause the old style skiff is difficult t.

engine in it. In a gale the dory mount.

A GREAT AMERICAN
Inspiration in tho Life and Character of Abraham
Lncoln-His Wonderful Political Career

VS. The twelfth day of February. in the
year 1909, was a day of great import
to the United States, for it was on
that day that Abraham Lincoln came
into the world, says a writer in the
Pittsburg Dispatch. The place of his
birth, unmarked to-day save for rude
dagstaff, was in Hardin county, Ken
Sucky, known now as LaRue county.
No great man was ever born into
humber home.
Thomas Lincoln, the father of Abra-
ham, had married handsome girl
named Nancy Hanks in 1906, and
there was little girl named Sarah
In the family when the little Abraham
was born.
The homely little boy, born in the
rude log cabin OF single room, that
eyentful day, came to an Inheritance
Of poverty and toll, neither of which
gave him great deal of concern be-
cause he had also inherited wonder
fully cheerful spirit, and he had the
happy faculty of seeing the humorous
side of every situation in life.
Lincoln was a boy of but seven
years when his father who had some
thing of restless spirit. followed a
brother of his, named Joseph, to
3pencer county, Indiana, and located

until the fatal fourteenth of April
1865, Abraham Lincoln lived for his
country and he was ready to die for it.
His nomination for the presidency
had been predicted before he had any
aspirations for that Office. When the
subject was first preached to him he
said: Whats the use of talking of
me for the presidency whilst we have
such men as Seward Chase and
others, who are SO much better known
to the people, and whose names are
so intimately associated with princi-
pies of the Republican party? Every
body knows them; nobody scarcely
outside of Illinois knows me- = y
am not insensible to the compliment
you pay me, but there is no such
good luck in store for me as the pres
idency of the United States"
The good luck" was on the side of
the United States when Abraham Lin
coin was finally elected president.
Not in all the union was there man
better fitted to hold that Office during
the perilous days of the civil war,
and when the war was over the people
felt that Lincoln was the only man
| who could heal the wounds of the
nation and bring real peace and har-
mony out of the bitter strife that had
lasted for four fearful years. His
assassination filled the land with the
gloomiest forebodings and plunged the
country into the bitterest grief it had
ever felt over the death Of an in.

nois, and it was in this place that he
fell in love and became engaged to
pretty Ann Rutledge, girl of seven
teen years, who died soon after the
engagement. This was a sharp blow
to a man of Lincoln's affectionate ma
ture, and years later he could not
speak of it without tears in his eyes.
1t was after leaving New Salem and
while studying and practicing law in
Springfield that Lincoln met Mary
Todd, who became his wife. She was
of somewhat jealous and exacting
disposition, and there were plenty of
lovers quarrels during the courtship.
Indeed, the engagement was broken,
but it was finally renewed and the
couple were married on the fourth
day of November in the year 1912, and
began their married life in Spring
field.
It would take many columns to give
anything like a comprehensive ac-
count of the political career of Abra-
ham Lincoln. 1t was almost newt
able that man of his force of car
acter, his patriotism and his interest
in the welfare of the nation should
drift into politics. We find him run
ming as candidate for the State AS
sembly of Illinois in 1882 and suffering
defeat that did not depresc him in
the least; 1t was after this defeat that
he aud a partner bought the store in
