LIFE OF LINCOLN
by Emma Hagman

Abraham Lincoln was born in Hardin
(now Larue) county, Kentucky. His
mother died when he was ten years old.
His father could not read or write and
you see he had hard time in getting
an education. He would get pine sticks
and make a fire and study by them,
after hard days work on the farm.
During the Black Hawk War he served
as captain, and this is when he got in
terested in politics and then he began
to study law.
In 1912 he married Miss Mary Todd.
Lincoln was six feet and four inches
tall. He was elected the first president
of the Republican party and the six
teenth president. 20
He served one term (four years) and
one month from 1861-1S65 and was
elected for another term but was shot
before he could serve it out. He only
served one month. His term was very
popular. He issued the Emancipation
that freed the slaves, which went into
effect the first day of January 1868. He
was the only president from Kentucky
and one of the best we ever had. After
the civil war they had Thanksgiving
day and they invited Lincoln and his
wife. There was a mad actor there and
when he got there he shot him through
the head. His name was John Boothe
He only lived until morning. He died
twenty-five minutes past Sc, en-. His
death was mourned as great loss all
over the world. The South said they
had lost their best friend, the North
their best president and the colored
people their emancipation. He was
buried at Oak Ridge Cemetery, III.
He would always say "malice toward
none charity for ALL, 1t will be one
hundred years Feb. II, 1909, since he
was born. 1t will be a great day.

LIFE OF LINCOLN
by Rosa sippel

Abraham Lincoln was born Feb. u
1909 in Larue Co. Ky, in log cabin.
His parents were very poor, and his
father could neither read nor write.
When Abraham was nine years old
his parents moved to the backwoods of
Indiana, and in 1880 to Illinois.
His father worked on farm while
his mother tended a garden with the
help of her children.
Lincoln worked all day and when his
work was done he walked two miles to
borrow book. and would lie down in
front of the fire. and study Early in
the morning he returned the book.
Lincoln did various things. He was
farmer, clerk, boatman and many
other things. His whole.life was hard
struggle.
He was captain in the Black Hawk
war, and when he came back he was
interested in politics, and was elected to
the house of Representatives in 1916.
He was nominee for Presidency in
1860 and won.
Lincoln was plain man with faith in
the common people, great love for
them, and they also loved him.
In appearance as in character, he was
a most remarkable man. He was six
feet tall.
He had noble mind, and a heart
that bore malice toward none with
charity for all
His oratory was simplicity itself, but
grand and imposing.
He set the slaves free. In 1865 he
said this in remembrance of Labor Day:
Labor is prior to the independence OF
capital. Capital is only the fruit of
labor, and could not have existed, if
labor had not first existed.
bid the laboring people beware OF
surrendering the power which they
possess and which if surrendered, will
surely be used to shut the door of adj
vancement for such as they, and fix
new disabilities and burdens upon then
until all of the liberty shall be lost.
1t seems strange that any man should
dare to ask just Gods assistance il
earning bread from the sweat of Other
mems faces.

EMINENT CATHOLICS
Have Inausurated War to Externninate
the Saloon

The Chicago Tribune the first of the
week said: Clergy and laymen of the
Catholic church, as typifed in the con-
vention of the Catholic Total Absti
nence union of Illinois, held in Chicago
yesterday in preparation for the great
national convention of total abstinence
Catholics to be held here, August 4, 5,
and 9Th, have flung their shoulders to
the wheel to crush out the saloon in
America. Archbishop Quigley champ
ions the movement and Bishop Muldoon
is a sympathizer and aide.
In laundering resolutions and in or.
atory which, for unequivocal condem-
nation of the liquor business probably
transcended anything ever before put
forward in a similar Catholic gather
ing of equal magnitude, the liquor
trade and the persons engaged in it
were scored without mercy. The saloon
business was declared scandal which
had endured too long and now must be
crushed for the safety of the children
of the church.
Catholic clergymen of note in Chica
go rose to their feet to announce their
intention of setting forth on the high
ways and byways of the nation to
spread the total abstinence movement
on behalf of the church. These includ-
ed Frs. d. j. Crimmins, W. J. Nc
Nance, j. J. OCallaghan and others.
THE whole weight of condemnation
of the convention as body fell upon
societies within the church which per-
NIT Saturday night dances and Sunday
picnics under their auspices at which
Intoxicating liquors are sold."

Well Arranged Business Place.

Work on the building which Carl G.
Wright is erecting on South Ball street
has progressed to point where it is ex-
pected it can be occupied next week.
The building is three. cornered two
story brick, with basement, S6 feet
frontage on Ball, 120 on Water and SO
between Ball and Water on the north
side next to the alley, giving floor
space of 1900 feet. The Office is to be
at the south of the building, with the
scales on the three -cornered piece of
land between Ball and Water streets.
North Of the Office is the retail depart
ment, room 22x45 feet, with store
front. The front of the north side of
the building will be used for mill
room, being 36 feet square; to the rear
of this is storage room for hay and
straw, both rooms having doors on the
alley; the receiving bins for grain are
also located on this side of the building.
while the storage bins are on the second
floor over the mill room. The greater
part of the machinery will be located in
the basement which is fairly well light
ed and has cement floor. The balance
of the basement and the large room on
the second floor will be used for storage
purposes, giving Mr.. Wright an op-
portunity to carry larger stock of
goods in his line than ever before and
the added advantage of having the same
all under one roof. A freight elevator
will run from the basement to the Sec
ond floor, making it easy to handle the
flour, various kinds of feed, hay, straw,
etc. 1t will require nearly months
time to complete all the work on the
building, place the machinery, the
steam heating plant and get it ready for
use. When this is all done Mr.. Wright
will have very well arranged business
place, conveniently located and easily
accessible for farmers coming to the
city from any direction with loads Of
produce. He will be pleased to have
you call and inspect the building when
it is completed

Control of EsteY Manufac turing Co.
Secured by c. e. Risley.

Owosso citizens were highly pleased
to learn on Tuesday that the interests
of eastern stockholders in the Estey
Manufacturing Co. had been purchased
by Charles E. Rigley, who, with o. B.
Estey of this city, are now in control of
the plant and business. This meang
much to Owosso as the future of the
business is now assured-a poin which
has been in doubt ever since the de-
struction of factory A by fire three
years ago. At that time the eastern
stockholders announced that they did
not wish to invest money to rebuild and
from that time on Mr.. Rigley has been
negotiating for the purchase of all
stock held by people residing ut of the
city. The charter of the Company ex-
pired few months ago, making it nee
cessary to close up the business in some
manner within definite period and
this has been done by the sale of the
stock, which will permit the company
to be re-incorporated and the business
carried on as in the past. Those who
know the gentlemen in control realize
that neither of them will be satisfied to
conduct the business in the present
plant, nor to move along witho ut in
creasing the output by the addition of
new lines and the making of line
fully the equal of that turned out pre-
yious to the fire. This can only mean
larger buildings employment for more
men and addad growth and prosperity
for Owosso.
Both the Messrs. Rigley and Estey
and the citizens of Owosso are to be
congratulated on the new conditions.
