the little ones as they declaimed
their speeches an 1 amusing dia¬

evidence of careful and patient
training. The pupils are all small

than for older children. There

Lincoln and Davis.
The fact is a little remarkable
that among the many creditable
speeches made at the court house
on Wednesday, the 11th inst,,
commemorating the 1 life' and char
acter of Hon. Je fferson Davis that
no speaker mentioned ihe name
of In's distinguished opponent i:
the struggle for independence.
Kz: President Abraham Lincoln,
of the' Lnion.
Yet lhe> antithesis in the lives of
these two remarkable men was as
vivid as the struggle was unequal.
Davis was a Kentuckian by
birth; so was Lincoln, but from
thence the path of life for them is
widely divergent. The early years
of Lincoln were spent in the rud¬
est kind of farm life, and at very
hard labor.
Indeed, he was a renowned rail
splitter when he had attained man
hood, and when he became'as the
successful candidate of a purely
sectional party, quite as much a
Union splitter, the picloral papers
produced a striking and significant
caricature in which Lincoln, the
President -elect, was pictured as a
wedge in a gaping log and Wm.
il. Seward mauling away on him.
while below appeared the words:
•fit hurts mightily Seward, but 1
giiess 1 can stand it.”
To return to his early history:
He worked on the farm and stud¬
ied by lire light, finally taught
school, then studied law. went into
politics, got into the Slate Legisla¬
ture and finally into <’ongress.
Later he opposed the great Ste¬
phen A Douglas for the Senate,
but was defeated, il was in this
campaign, however, that he show¬
ed to the world, and especially' to
his party, that lie was a man of
power. His contests on the stump
as a campaign competitor of Doug
las were indicative of the highest
order of talent for going before
tlie people.
This plain, 1ml earnest man, was
Ldeetc-i by tlv rapidly growing
Republican party to tie their
standard-bearer, and lie was se-
1 acted.
The history of those eventful
years of the war between the
States proved that the selection
was a good one.
