We had the extreme pleasure of boarding an Inter Urban car for Linlast Monday and found on account of cold and rain and snow and politics, the farmers are very late this year. Lincoln was on the eve of holding on the eve of holing an election. Lincoln, as some of you know, is not the maiden name of that town. It was once Pottsville, i. e. before it was married. It is an old town. Lincoln used to be there and the town is named for him. This is the home county of Col. Oglesby, the fire enter of the House. Did you know that Lidcoln is a beautiful place? It has four or five banks and the people have money in that city. It has a beautiful high school building and a Presbyterian college, good public schools, fine citizens and great big healthy looking children. It is a fine town to live in. Harry A. Donnagan, the representative of The Forum, has a beautiful office in his pantitorium, well kept. He is doing a good business and will be glad to have any person in Lincoln see him and have The Forum sent. The ministers speak of it and we have got to support these businesses. They are indispensable. We were gladly astonished to see Messas. Young & White's book and jewelry store. A fine store, run by colored people, which is a credit to our race the land over. This store will travel during the summer months and will return in the fall. Lincoln has a fine set of colored people and the girls are o. k. and industrious. ais ».. we THE FORUM, ~ “enor e THE FORUM.” Pte taterents of whole people Bnvered ¢y maeeut sees moive, 3eb Fess uader_ the Act of Mared 8, 1670.

Benjamin Rich the County Recorder has served the people of this county well and there is no complaint registered against him. He is an old citizen of this city and we are proud of him. His term of office will expire in little more that one year hence. We do not know that he will again aspire for the place. If he wants it the Republicans will probably cede it to him; but if not Roy Reece a young man of exceptionally good traits is recommended by The Forum—yet we are not against Mr. Rich. Whoever gets the place we think they should give a colored lady a position in that office. Every one gets some chance but our women and yet we want them to stand the test.
