Abraham Lincoln, our six-
teenth President of the United
States, was a firm believer in
the saying 'Laugh and the
world laughs with you.' In his
book, 'Lincoln's Own Yarns
and Stories', edited by Colonel
Alexander K.Mcclure, he tells
how President Lincoln was the
most exquisite humorist that
was known. Whenever he want-
ed to make a point he began by
saying, 'Now, that reminds me
of a story.' When he had
finished telling the story ev
eryone saw the point and was
put into a good humor.
'Before Lincoln was ever
heard of as a lawyer or pol-
itician, he was famous as a
storyteller. As a politician, he
always had a story to fit the
other side; as a lawyer, he won
many cases by telling the jury
a story which showed them
the justice of his side better
than any argument could have
done'.
The following yarns and stor-
ies show what made President
Abraham Lincoln a great
storyteller:
'Lincoln was, naturally en-
ough, much surprised one day,
when a man of rather forbidd-
ing countenance drew a rev-
olver and thrust the weapon
almost into his face. In such
circumstarces 'Abe' at once
concluded that any attempt at
debate or argument was a
waste of time and words,
'What seems to be the matter?'
inquired Lincoln with all the
calmness and self-possession he
could muster. 'Well,' replied the
stranger, who did not appear at
all excited.'Some years ago I
swore an oath that if I ever
came across an uglier man than
myself I'd shoot him on the
sight'. A feeling of relief
evidently took possession of
Lincoln at this rejoinder, as
the expression upon his count-
enance lost all suggestion of
anxiety. 'Shoot me/he said to
the stranger; for if I am an
uglier man than you I don't
want to live.'
Once when Lincoln was
pleading a case, the opposing
lawyer had all the advantage of
the la,w; the weather was warm,
and his opponent, as was ad-
missable in frontier courts,
pulled off his coat and vest as
he rew warm in the argum-
ent. At that time, shirts with
buttons behind were unusual.
Lincoln took ill ;,,e situation
at once. Kn owing the pre-
judices of the primitive people
against pretension of all sorts
or any affectation of superior
social rank, arising, he said:
'Gentlemen of the jury, having
justice on m y side, 1 don'{
think you will be at all in-
fluenced by the gentlema,'s
pre-
tended knowledge of the law.
when you see he does not even
know which side of his shirt
should be in front.' There was
a general laugh, and Lincoln's
ease was won .'
'Lincoln never told a better
story than this: A country
meeting-house, that was used
once a month, was just a dis-
tance from any other house.
The preacher, an old-line Bapt-
ist, was dressed in coarse
linen pantaloons, and shirt of
the same material. The pants
manufactured after the old
fashion, with baggy legs, and
announced his text thus:'l am
the Christ whom I shall rep-
resent today.' About this tim e
a little blue lizard ran up his
roomy pantaloons. The old
preacher, not wishing to int-
errupt the steady flow of his
serm on, slapped away on his
leg, expecting to arrest the
intruder, but his efforts were
unavailing, and the little fellow
kept on ascending higher and
higher. Continuuing the serm
on, the preacher loosened the
central button which graced the
waistband of his pantaloons,
:and with a kick off came that
I easy-fitting garment. But,
I meanwhile, Mr. Lizard had
] passed the equatorial line of
- the waistband, and was calmly
ex-ploring that part of the
preacher's anatomy which lay
underneath the back of his
shirt. Things were now growing
interesting, but the sermon ..

was still grinding on. The next
movement on the preacher's
part was for the collar button,
and with one sweep of his arm
off came the tow linen shirt.
The congregation sat for an
instant as if dazed; at length
one old lady. in the rear
part of the room rose up,
and, glancing at the excited
object in the pulpit, shouted
at the top of her voice:
'If you represent Christ, then
I'm done with the Bible.'
Today, over a hundred years
later,yarns and stories that are
full of humor, are still being..
told.
I remember, many years ago,
our friends invited my wife and
me to their wedding. They were
married at the Hinton M
ethodist Parsonage. The groom
had to repeat the words of
the ceremony after the preach-
er. The groom was very nerv-
ous, and his knees kept knock-
ing together. Finally, the min-
ister ended the ceremony and
bowing his head, said, 'Now,
let us pray.' The groom, still
shaking like a leaf, and think-
ing he was still repeating the
ceremony, bowed his head and
repeated, 'Now ,let us pray.'
.."Railway to Hinton Starts
City's Growth". This was the
headlines of the "Hinton Daffy
News" on the front page of their
"Anniversary Edition" in 1952.
It was their 50th year of in-
forming the citizens of Summ-
ers County and the surrounding
areas what has been accom-
plished since-the publishing of
their first newspaper in 1902.
Mrs. Lola Judy, who clerks in
one of the local grocery stores in
Hinton, was very kind to lend
me this "Anniversary Edition"
of the "Hinton Daffy News",
and it contains many interest-
ing items that will bring many
memories to people, who will
recognize the familar names
and places.
Mr. John Faulconer was the
publisher of this "Anniversary
Edition" and he and his editor-
ial staff did a fine job of enlight-
tug the cl[izens, for the past 50
years, of the progress of Hin-
ton and Summers County.
"Land City Now Stands On
Owned By Isaac Ballengee Sold
to C & 0 for $3,500." This was
one of the many headlines that
was featured throughout the
"Anniversary Edition". There
was a picture of a passenger
steam engine, No. 492, which
was taken at the Hinton Depot,
and with the following state-
ment:
"Does this powerful, steam-
ing locomotive that has been
such a familiar sight on the C &
0 mean the end of an era? Many
think it does, and that when it is
replaced by diesels, that it will
take much out of the romance of
railroading. Many old-time eng-
inemen believe that the steam
locomotive will soon again assu-
me its rightful place in the
world of railroading. Only time
can answer these questions;
however, this anniversary edit-
ion would not be complete with-
out a picture of this Monarch of.
the Hails for future generations
to see and admire."
Today, 27 years since this'
"Anniversary Edition", the die-
sel engine is still here, but we
have fond memories of the
"Daddy of Them All", the
Mighty Steam Engine that pion-
eered our railroads and started
towns booming all over the
nation.
Mr. K.P. Ketchman was the

great respect for him.

C&O train. It was a freight,
made up of a fiat car carry-
ing material for construction
and was in charge of a conduct- .......
or and engineer. That first train
represented months upon
months of back- breaking work
and the frustration of many
engineering projects, as is
shown in the annual report of
the C&O. The report of 1870 was
comparatively rosy it states: i
"The First New River Div-
ision had generally light work.
The sections at Richmond Falls
and at Stretcher's Neck are
exceptions. The slopes of the
river hills are generally mod-
erate and there are few impor-
tant streams to bridge. The
prevailing rock is sandstone. At
Richmond Falls a short tunnel
of less than 300 feet will pro-
bably be made to avoid heav-
ier work in the vicinity. A t N
Stretcher's Neck, a tunnel 1800
feet which will save about four
miles, will also be made."
"There was a picture of a
scene in the dispatchers office
which was taken many years
ago, and shows many of the old-
timers who kept the trains
moving over the shiny rails. The
men in the picture were: Mr.
E.E. Hanifan, retired chief dis-
patcher; Mr. F.L. COx, dis-
patcher; Mr. J.D. Germer, dis-
patcher; Mr. Tom Kirby, dis-
patcher; Mr. E.M. Curry, pre-
sent chief dispatcher; Mr. O.E.

Pack said, "Wild trukey pop-

and Summers Counties."
"We are expecting hunters to
kill record numbers of toms in
Monroe, Greenbrier, Morgan,

inued Pack.
Pack cautioned spring gobb-
lers in many eastern counties
are becoming wary, seasoned

record of 721 may require more
dedicated turkey hunters,"
commented Pack.

The West Virginia travel in-

Mountainaire Travel Council
managing director, E.J. Hodel.
If the situation is handled
properly, it might easily prove
to have a beneficial effect,
Hodel added. He pointed out
that the Mountain State is with-

entire nation's population, plus
a portion of Ontario in Canada.
The difficulties of getting gas-

their vacation periods, he ob-
served.
A positive indicator to this
effect came in the 1973-74 gas-
oline shortage during the out-
right embargo on off form

areas what has been accom-
plished since-the publishing of
their first newspaper in 1902.
Mrs. Lola Judy, who clerks in
one of the local grocery stores in
Hinton, was very kind to lend
me this "Anniversary Edition"
of the "Hinton Daffy News",
and it contains many interest-
ing items that will bring many
memories to people, who will
recognize the familar names
and places.
Mr. John Faulconer was the
publisher of this "Anniversary
Edition" and he and his editor-
ial staff did a fine job of enlight-
tug the cl[izens, for the past 50
years, of the progress of Hin-
ton and Summers County.
"Land City Now Stands On
Owned By Isaac Ballengee Sold
to C & 0 for $3,500." This was
one of the many headlines that
was featured throughout the
"Anniversary Edition". There
was a picture of a passenger
steam engine, No. 492, which
was taken at the Hinton Depot,
and with the following state-
ment:
"Does this powerful, steam-
ing locomotive that has been
such a familiar sight on the C &
0 mean the end of an era? Many
think it does, and that when it is
replaced by diesels, that it will
take much out of the romance of
railroading. Many old-time eng-
inemen believe that the steam
locomotive will soon again assu-
me its rightful place in the
world of railroading. Only time
can answer these questions;
however, this anniversary edit-
ion would not be complete with-
out a picture of this Monarch of.
the Hails for future generations
to see and admire."
Today, 27 years since this'
"Anniversary Edition", the die-
sel engine is still here, but we
have fond memories of the
"Daddy of Them All", the
Mighty Steam Engine that pion-
eered our railroads and started
towns booming all over the
nation.
Mr. K.P. Ketchman was the
papular superintendent of the
C&O on the Hinton Division
during the Hinton Daily News '
50th Anniversary. He was very
active in civic affairs, and a mond pin for 50 years service on

a member of the Board of men who make up the major

erintendent, and every employ-
ee of the C&O Railroad had
great respect for him.

C&O train. It was a freight,
made up of a fiat car carry-
ing material for construction
and was in charge of a conduct- .......
or and engineer. That first train
represented months upon
months of back- breaking work
and the frustration of many
engineering projects, as is
shown in the annual report of
the C&O. The report of 1870 was
comparatively rosy it states: i
"The First New River Div-
ision had generally light work.
The sections at Richmond Falls
and at Stretcher's Neck are
exceptions. The slopes of the
river hills are generally mod-
erate and there are few impor-
tant streams to bridge. The
prevailing rock is sandstone. At
Richmond Falls a short tunnel
of less than 300 feet will pro-
bably be made to avoid heav-
ier work in the vicinity. A t N
Stretcher's Neck, a tunnel 1800
feet which will save about four
miles, will also be made."
"There was a picture of a
scene in the dispatchers office
which was taken many years
ago, and shows many of the old-
timers who kept the trains
moving over the shiny rails. The
men in the picture were: Mr.
E.E. Hanifan, retired chief dis-
patcher; Mr. F.L. COx, dis-
patcher; Mr. J.D. Germer, dis-
patcher; Mr. Tom Kirby, dis-
patcher; Mr. E.M. Curry, pre-
sent chief dispatcher; Mr. O.E.
Houchins, chief clerk to the ':
superintendent; and Mr. M.A.
Boland, assistant trainmaster.
This picture was taken in 1910."
"There was also a picture of

Reco00 d Harvest
Eight of nine counties with
record spring gobbler harvests
during the 1978 season were
western and southern counties,
according to wildlife resources
division game 'biologist, James
C. Pack.
Pack said, "Wild trukey pop-
ulations are increasing in Jack-
son, Berbeur, Mercer, McDow-
ell, Monroe, Nicholas, Preston
and Summers Counties."
"We are expecting hunters to
kill record numbers of toms in
Monroe, Greenbrier, Morgan,
Mineral, Hardy, Hampshire
and Berkeley Counties," cont-
inued Pack.
Pack cautioned spring gobb-
lers in many eastern counties
are becoming wary, seasoned
and wise. "Exceeding the 1976
record of 721 may require more
dedicated turkey hunters,"
commented Pack.

There were stories of other
interestidg names and places,
such as: "Central Baptist

Forty Charter Members." Rev-
erend H.P. Hackney was the
present minister during the "
imation of a turkey's age. Met-

The modern two-piece golf
ball that combines a super-
rebound core with a cutproof
cover is made round and stays
round. But the traditional
three-piece ball--with its
metal or liquid core and
200 to 250 yards of rubber
wound around it--is almost
never perfectly round.

"The picture of the Summers

rights, the court house should be
located on Welfrey's Corner (

the foundation was well under-

very fascinating, and Mr. John

work.

The West Virginia travel in-
dustry conceivably could bene-
fit from the current fuel pro-
blems plaguing many metrop-
olitan areas, according to the
Mountainaire Travel Council
managing director, E.J. Hodel.
If the situation is handled
properly, it might easily prove
to have a beneficial effect,
Hodel added. He pointed out
that the Mountain State is with-
in 500 miles of 65 per cent of the
entire nation's population, plus
a portion of Ontario in Canada.
The difficulties of getting gas-
oline might well make our many
nearby neighbors think serious-
ly about coming to West Vir-
ginia rather than to more dis-
tant points and attractions for
their vacation periods, he ob-
served.
A positive indicator to this
effect came in the 1973-74 gas-
oline shortage during the out-
right embargo on off form
OPEC nations. Both North Car-
olina and Tennessee enjoyed
i considerable increases in tour-
i ism at that time. This was
