Miss Amanda MILLIGAN, a life-long resident of Ringgold County, recently gave a cherished possession to her favoirte candidate for
the presidency of the United States, and this week received a gracious acknowledgment. The gift was a campaign button
used a century ago by the revered Abraham LINCOLN, the Republican candidate for the presidency, who was opposed by Stephen A.
DOUGLAS, the Democrat candidate. The recipient of the gift was Richard m. NIXON, the 1960 Republican standard bearer. In contrast
to the present day campaign buttons, the memento is in the form of an open-faced locket. On one side is a picture of
LINCOLN and on the other side is a picture of his running mate, Hannibal HAMLIN of Maine.
