Life of Abraham Lincoln.
t’uwk War."
I as captain of
His mannvvmoiit
uiccossfui.
(Prise Winninp: Essfty by Miss Roha
~ ■ >Hennc‘tt.)
Abraham liiincoln, the 16th presi
dent of the U. S., was born in a ft>K
cabin in Hardin County, Kcmtucy, on
February r 12 th, 1S09. His parents
were born in Virginia, and Abraham
inheritc*d his mother’s saintly face
and his father's stern will. At the
age of seven, his fi ther moved to In-
. diana and therv Abraham led a primi-,
tive life. He went to school in u little
lop cabin in the woods just loop
enouph to rood, write and cipher. In
all, his education amounted to only
one year. But he read many books
and picked up his education in his ex
perience in traveling, etc., in later
years.
When Abraham was ten years old,
his mother died. Eighteen months
later his father married Mrs. Johns
ton, an old neighbor in Kentucky,
She was very fond of Lincoln and it
was through her great influences that
Abraham* became such a great (pan.
He was roared ns farmer and con
tinued that work until he beusime 21
years old. He even split mils, whien
..developed his muscles. Poverty and
harshness of modern social jidvant-
»- o
ages strengthened the essential (de
ment of greatness within him. * His
first journey from home was on li big
flint-boat wlrth he helped row down
the Missb dppi River to New Orleans
•in "the year 1 St:*, in April. When he
returned home, ho v * Ued as clerk »n
a s*oie. Then the' war broke out l»v*-
tween the Indian, and the settlers,
kiiittvn as the "Rku
Limotn was elected
some \ iduntk'er-:.
of them u;ls \ery
In the year 1S;12 he ran for Legis
lature, but was dofeate In The next
e!e» tion he wns Vlca ted to the Li gi -
iature and was also eloifi’d for the
next three elections. During the
legislature period he studicaLlaw and
remuvud tu Hpringtieid to practice : t ^
He practiced U\w frum ISTJ 1, * ^
In the year of he was elected to
the Lower House of Congress. He
was always Whig in politics. For a
time Lincoln was so interested in law
until h«‘ was disinterested in polities,
hut the Missouri Compromise rc-av-
roused Hjs political spirits. Ho weft,
all over the country m.* l rag speeches
nn the Missouri Compromise. Ho was
very much against slavery in the
Southern States, and expressed his
opinion so publicly before the Repub
licans or Whigs, who also wanted the
South to abolish slavery, uritd the
Republicans, who-lived in the North,
elected him as their President in the
year I860. Thus ho was elected by, a
Northern party who was very much
4
against the Southern people.— — , ~ JL
The North aft< ry the Revolution
.soon became very rich by making
iron, woolen and cotton goods. The
South Ix'came rich from cotton and
was dependent upon the slaves. She
sold her cotton goods to the British
jnarket, and in return, she brought
back her ships laden with .English
goods, but the taritF was -o h gh o
all the goods whh-h were imparted,
and as the North alone profit. \ by it,
the S.iuth opposed it, for it was
idieaper l\vr her to buy the Aniern i v

Jn tad but loving memory at our
deoDr mother, Mrs*.2* M. Bolen, who
departed this 'Ufe two years ago,
March 17, 1922. .
We saw her growing weaker,
We wept as would a child,
The thought that forever would van
ish
The fragrance of her smile.
Like a tired child at evening's clone
Mother gently fell asleep
From this world of grief and trouble
To the land >of peace and rest.
God has taken you, dear Mother,
Where you will find eternal rest.
Dearest Mother, your place is vacant
in our homes,
And it never can be filled.
Sleep on, dear Mother, and take your
rest,
We loved you, •• Mother, tmt Jesus
loved you best.
Those who would think her forgotten
Little realize,the pain.
Of the Ipfff?, weary years of grieving
UntjLAve meet again. ^
Her Devoted Children.
Death of Little Leila 'Hartzog.
Mrs. E. tf. Hartzog and took uwa
the soul of their little daughter, Lei
la. She was bom Sept. ^17 1917, and
died Feb. 19, 1924.
There was'an angel band m heaven
Which was not quite complete,
So God took our darlinfe Leila
To fill the vacant seat..
Empty is her little play fioofce,
Her little clothes laid by—
A mother’s hope, father’s joy ,
In Death's coki arm doth lie.
Tho^e little lips ho sweet to kiss
Are dosed forever now;
Those sparkling eyes that shone so
bright
Beneath that pearly brow.
That little heart that beat so high, •>
Free from all care and bloom, -■
Are hidden now from those she loved
Beneath the silent tomb. ^
Go, little Pilgrim, to thy home
On yonder blissful shore.
We miss thee here but soon we’ll
come
Where thou hast gone before.
Not now, but in the coming years,
• It may be in the better land,
We’ll read the meaning of our tears
And then? sometime we’ll under
stand.
One Who Loved Her.

Buick Body Construction
In bonstructing its open car bodies, Buick uses
bolts in fastening the me*al braces to the wood,
instead of ordinary screws. These bolts pass
ing completely through the wooden frame
prevent joints from loosening under driving
strains. A more than usual number of bolts
secure the Buick body to the chassis, holding
it rigidly in position and entirely eliminating
all squeaks and rattles. ^
