!. Lincoln Birthday

Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth
President of the United STATES, was
born ii LaRue county. Kentucky, on
February IL, 1909. His parents were
Virginians His early home was
marked by poverty that was al
most restitution. His family remov-
ed from Kentucky to Indiana. and
thence:Io Illinois, but all through his
early life he had to struggle with
the hardships and privations OF
pioneers Abraham Lincoln is per-
ennial example to us all. AS a boy
he was: affectionate, dutiful and in
dustrious; as man he was clean
and brave and wise and earnest. He
He was, an ardent patriot, and lnten-
sely practical withal. He was
strong party man but wholly free
from narrowness and seIfishness. His
vision was broad and keen and true.
There is no man in our history as
nation who has excelled him in kind
ly sympathy, in practical wisdom, and
in lofty love of country. His words,
with firmness in the right as God
gives us to see the right" have been
called the secret of his achievement,
as it must be of every man who
would make his life a potent infiu-
ence. Wendell Phillips spoke of
him as "God-given and God-helped
and sustained" Asa Gray called him

Notice To Public

Owing to the fact that some per-
to the effect that 1 have been visit
ing my home since the illness of my
little girl, desire not only to brand
/ these statements as false land with
out foundation, but to state further
/ that at the time she was taken sick,
+ was in Baltimore and Washington,
| she was not feeling very well. and
! fearing that she might have influ-
enza, did not enter her room, and
as soon as the attending physician
advised me that he feared her illness
might not be influenza, / left home,
and have not been there since, ex-
| cept to go as far as the front porch
and back steps to take food and such
ether articles as my family may
fneed, such needs being comm unica-
tted to me by them over the tele-
phone. Such article sof clothing as l
have needed, 1 have purchased from
the stores, getting absolutely moth
ing of the kind from my home, and,
as stated above. not even entering
the house. want to assure the pub
lie that l have stayed away for my
own protection as well as from
realization of the fact that it was due
the public that should do so.
+, l would add that at times like
this, as well as upon all other occa-
sions, there are plenty of persons
who, without regard for the harm
they may do, or without regard for
the truth and facts, deliberately
spread such rumors, so adding to
them in the telling that no one is
willing to assume responsibility for
them, but instead all of them deny
ing any connection whatsoever there
with. 1t would seem to me that the
public has had so much experience
with these gossips that it should no
longer place any credence whatever
in rumors emanating from them.
Respectfully,
JOHN W. BROWN.

NOT GUILTY OF PANDERING.
Yell Countian Released in Squire s.
 H. Smiths Court.

John Samuel Watson, a former res- ident of Danville, Yell county, ar rested one day last week by Sheriff J. 4. Thornton on the charge of pam dering, was before Justice of the Peace s. H. Smith today for a hear ing, when the case was dismissed by Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Wright Prickett for want of evidence. The fact is that Watson's arrest was a case of mistaken identity. It seems that man left Dierks one day last week with woman not his wife, and headed for Polk county, so the notice came to Sheriff Thornton. About that time, Watson, accompanied by a woman, apparently not his wife, reached Mena and was placed under arrest. He gave a cash bond of $500 for his appearance Thursday, when he was released To make the identity still stronger, the woman accompany ing the man from Dierks had two children, as did also the woman with Watson, and to complicate things still more, Watson was found to have left his wife in his home county.
