ance.
Other numbers included a
reading by Miss Ruth Genoway, piano

Republicans, the nation over, are
holding their “ Lincoln Day Ban
quets,” schools are giving Lincoln
day program and all America is
reading past history or articles on
Lincoln.
Saturday, February 12 is Lincolns
birthday.
Last Friday noon at the Kiwanis
club luncheon, Mr. E. V. Carter gave
a splendid, interesting talk on the
great emancipator.
Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth presi
dent of the United States, was Ken
tucky born (1809.) He had little
schooling, as schools are conducted
today, but educated himself under
the worst of handicaps. Born a farm
er, he afterwards clerked in a coun
try store. Studied law and became a
militia captain in 1832. In politics
he was a defeated candidate more
times than elected.
He was finally
a postmaster, legislator, great debat-
or and lawyer, surveyor, member of
congress in 1846. His opposition to
slavery and untiring efforts brought
him fame, made him the leader and
elected him president in 1860, and re
elected in 1864. The civil war during
his term and leadership ended in
April, 1865, and the president was
assassinated April 14 of that year.
Simple and unaffected in manner,
religious, extreamely honest, tolerant
and honorable in character.
The life of Lincoln can be read
and studied hy every American with
nought but good to result.
