took a load of hogs down the river,
and when he returned he became a
clerk in a store. In 1882 there was a
war in Illinois called the "Black-
hawk" war. Lincoln was made cap
tain of company to fight, but he did
not happen to be in any battle during
the war.
When he got back from the war he
bought country store. He had a
worthless partner and was poor
merchant himself (being too honesty.
He was called Honest Abe. He soon
failed and stopped bookkeeping. For
six years he lived savingly until he
had paid all his debts. When he
ceased keeping store he became post
master. Next he became surveyor.
In 1884 he was elected to the Illinois
legislature. Then he came home and
surveyed again. Then he became a
lawyer. In 1860 he became president.
The northerners did not want slaves,
and Lincoln did not. The southerners
did. The civil war followed which the
nOrtherners won. Lincoln was shot
in a theatre on the 18th of April, 1865,
after being president four years, one
month and ten days.

Abraham Lincoln was born Feb
ruary II, 1909. in La Rue county,
Kentucky. His parents we're very
poor. When he went TO school he was
often obliged to sit on the floor and
write on the coal shovel with a piece
of coal. He was so poor that it was
seldom he could afford to buy book.
He was very careful in studying.
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1908-02-13

Lincoln was a clerk. He also studied
law. After this he became surveyor.
In 1887 he moved to Springfield,
ILL.,, where he practiced law. Lincoln
was noted for his kindness and
honesty.
Once Abraham gave a lady two
ounces of tea less than what she
should have had. He walked long
way to rectify it. At another time
when he was riding along he saw a
pig in a mudhole. He had a new suit
on and he did not want to touch the
dirty pig, but after he had ridden two
miles he turned back to help piggy
out. He said he did this to take a
pain out of his own mind.
In 1860 he was elected president.
After Abraham was elected president
of the United States the civil war
broke out. During these years Mr..
Lincoln showed himself a great man.
After the war Mr.. Lincoln was shot
while attending a theatre by John
Wilkes Booth, April 18th, 1865. His
death was lamented not only over this
country but throughout Europe. His
goodness of heart made him as much
loved as his greatness of heart made
him admired.

Abraham Lincoln was born in a log
cabin in Kentucky February IL, 1909.
When he was seven years old his
father moved to Indiana, where they
lived in a rude log camp. Little Abe
had very few educational advantages.
He could get very few books to read
but such as he had he read very care
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1908-02-13

Abe learned to write. 1t was very
useful to the neighborhood who could
not, and he used to write for them to
their friends.
When he was nine years old his
mother died. She told him before she
died that she wished him to grow up
to be noble man. She also told him
not to chew, drink, smoke nor swear.
Lincoln grew to be a young man.
He was once clerking in store
when a woman came in and bought
some tea. He added the bill up and
took the money. After she had gone
he added the bill up again. He found
out that he had cheated her and
charged cents too much. He walked
three miles to give her cents back.
Lincoln was surveyor and surveyed
great deal. At one time he was
rowing hatboat on the Ohio river.
They often had hogs on this fat
boat. They could not drive the hogs
on the boat so Lincoln carried them
on in his long arms.
He was the man that set the slaves
free.
Lincoln died April Is, 1865.

Abraham Lincoln was born Feb
ruary II, 1909. When Abraham was
big enough to go to school he learned
to read and write. Abraham was
very careful in thinking out things for
himself.
At the age of twenty-one he stood
six feet four inches in height. He
worked on the farms in the neighbour
hood to obtain his board and clothes.

fully.
When Abraham was ten years old
his mother died. His father married
again and his stepmother was always
kind to him. His father thought him
visionary and too much attached to
his books.
His first knowledge of the world was
gained by going to New Orleans in a
fatbOat. When he returned he went to
keeping country store, where he spent
all his spare time in study. At the
age of twenty-one he had attained the
height of six feet four inches.
Next he became a surveyor aud
whenever he had little money he
studied law. His honesty, good
nature, bright speeches, witty sayings,
amusing stories, and kindness of
heart made him general favorite.
In 1884 he was elected to the Illinois
legislature, in 1916 member of con-
gress and in 1860 president. He was
often called "The Rail-splitter" and
"Honest Old Abe."
In all his actions he had faith that
"Right makes might" His favorite
song was "Twenty Years Ago." and
his favorite poem, "The Vanity of
Human Pride"
April IA, 1865, as he sat. in the
theater he was assassinated by Booth,

Lincoln was nominated for the
senate, with Stephen A. Douglas
as his opponent. He was defeated,
but few years later Douglas was
seen holding Lincoln's hat while he
delivered his inaugural address.
In 1863 he was the means of freeing
the slaves of the United States. just
two years later he was shot by an
assassin and lived only few hours.
Lincoln never became wealthy. He
was true, brave hearted, and his
fame was as great and lasting as the
love his country bears his memory.

Not far from Hodgenville, Ken
lucky, lived a man named Thomas
Lincoln. he lived in a cabin he him
self had built, beside an everaowing,
bubbling spring. This cabin had
only one room with low doorway,
and a CHEEKY fireplace that was built
of rough stones and clay. In the wall
was a square place for a window
which had no glass. In the winter il
was covered with deerskin. Only the

GUT GLASS and
SILVERWHRE,

These goods will be shipped di-
rect from the factory and will
reach Condor about Nov. 1st.
This lot together with others al
ready ordered will give the
Pauling Store the largest assort-
ment Of high grade holiday goods
in Gillian County. Mr.. Paul
ing's marvellous success in the
Drug and Jewelry business in
Condor is due to the fact that he
has always stood back of his
goods with a personal guarantee
and is satisfied with q reasonable
profit. These are two factors
which mean much to the people,
who as a rule are not supposed
to be judges of the quality and
prices Of either Drugs or Jewel
ry, but are forced to rely upon
the honesty and integrity of the
man with whom they deal. An
other feature about the Pauling
Store is that all goods are mark
ed in plain figures, consequently
the man in the overalls pays ex-
actly the same price for the
same goods as does the banker OF
merchant. If you are looking
for a square deal all the time,
get the Pauling habit. /"

Timely Addresses.
The speaking at the fair was
full Of interest. Congressman
Ellis made the address on the
opening day. He said that these
county fairs were the means of
raising the standard Of husband
ry. They promote rivalry and
rivalry engenders the desire to
excel. Excellence in farming
means profitable and more pleas
ant farming. Judge Ellis re-
ceiyed a warm greeting as he
arose to speak. At the conclu-
sion of the address the applause
was hearty and prolonged. The
addre ,ses of DIR. Withycombe.
Prof. Scudder, and Prof. Lewis
were timely and ofinterest. The
lack Of space prevents further
comment on these addresses.
Defamation Contest
At the close of the address by
Prof. Scudder, President Quinn
announced the recitation contest.
The contestants acquitted them
selves creditably. Tic judge
were DIR. Jas. Withycombe, Miss
Thacker, and Miss Dodson. In
