If yon have entertained company from a distance, gone on a visit yourself, met with an accident, have sickness or death in the family, entertained at a party, had a marriage in the family or any other bit of news that may be of general interest, hand or mail it to this office for publication. All item* will be thankfully received. Last week Miss Katie L, Knox, teach­ er of the Barreville school, promised her scholars that she wonld send to The Plaindealer for publication the best es­ say on Abraham Lincoln. The follow­ ing essay proved the best and was writ­ ten and composed by Miss Doris Eva Wingate, a pupil enrolled in the fourth grade of the Barreville school. Mies Wingate is only ten years of age, and the essay is, indeed, a remarkably good one. We herewith reproduce the essay: Abraham Lincoln was born Feb. 12, 1800, at Nolin's Creek, Hardin (how Larne) county, Kentucky. .When he was six and seven years of age, he went for a short time to a little backwoods school, where he learned little more than to read and write. When be was eight years old he and his parents moved to Indiana. Abraham's mother's name was Nan­ cy Hanks, a Virginian by birth. The family was poor and humble. Hi# father was Thomas Lincoln, a pioneer. When he moved to Indiana be had to out his way thru to the place where he built his log cabin home, where Abra­ ham was born. Two years after they inoved to Indi­ ana Abe's mother died and he was left alone with his father, until the latter married again. His mother's death was a great loss to him, but his step mother proved kind and true and was a great help to him. . Abraham weni; to school about two months before moving to Indiana, after that his mother taught him until she died. Three years after her death a neighbor named Crawford started K school in his own cabin, which young Lincoln attended for some time, study­ ing arithmetic and other primary branches; he also read books, among them Pilgrim's Progress, Aesop's Fables, A Life of Washington, and some others. Abraham always worked hard. When he was twenty-one he helped his father move to Decatur, 111. Here the father took up a homestead. Abraham split rails and built a rail fence entirely around it. This gave him the name of "The Rail Splitter." For two years he lived here, working on the farm, hunt­ ing and clerking in a country store. He also built a flat boat and navigat­ ed it on the Sangamon river. From a life of hardship and poverty he finally became president of the Unit­ ed States. When a boy, his home was a two roomed log cabin in the woods and his bed was of leaves. He helped his father thru the day and studied evenings by the firelight. Lincoln lived in many places in Ken­ tucky, Indiana and Illinois. He served in the Blaok Hawk Indian war, whioh broke out in 1882. 1 After the war he was a candidate for the Illinois legislature, but failed at the election. After this he was a grocer, surveyor and postmaster. He was pilot of the first steam boat on the Sanga­ mon. In 1884 he was elected to the state legislature of Illinois. Before this he studied law and in 1886 was admitted to practice at the bar. In 1846 he was elected representative in congress. * After Lincoln was elected president the Civil War began, and closed soon after he was elected for a second term. After the war came peace; his hard work was done. Then suddenly came the end. On the evening of April 14, 1865, he was shot thru the brain by John Wilkes Booth, while sitting in a box at a theatre. Booth believed Lincoln to be an enemy of the South and planned to kill him. Lincoln was in company with his wife and some f r iends when Booth came in­ to the box and shot him. Then he tried to jump down to the stage, but canghi one of hi* spurs in the drapery of the box and fell, breaking his leg, yet he managed to get away. . ' He was finally shot in to Old barn, where he was in hiding. Lincoln, the kind hearted man whom all loved, who freed the slaves and whom all remembered with loyal love, will never be forgotten.

Better be prepared for it when it comes. Ask your doctor about keeping Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in the house. Then when the hard cold or cough first appears you have a doctor's medicine at hand. Your doctor's approval of its use will certainly set all doubt at rest. Do as he says. He knows.
