Thought For The Week-- "Inasmuch as most good things are produced by labor, it follows, that all such things ought to belong to those whose labor has produced them. But it has happened in all ages of the world that some have labored, and others, witWout tabor, have enjoyed a large proportion of the fruits. This is wrong, and -should not continue. To secure to each laborer the whole product of his labor as nearly as possible is a worthy-object of any good government."-- Abraham Lincoln. CAJRNtVAL AT FAIR Gov. William G.
