249 mill in Mason county. The next mill was built by Pal- lard Simmons on Quiver Creek, five miles northeast of Havana. In 1838, this Simmons, who is the same man who lived near Salem in former years, on one occasion while there, met John Calhoun, the county surveyor. Calhoun informed Simmons that he had decided to appoint Lin- coln as deputy surveyor, if he would accept the appoint- ment. The next day Simmons went to Salem and inquired for Mr. Lincoln, and was told he was working in the woods.... Simmons found him working at his old occupa- tion making rails. They both sat down on a log and Simmons told Lincoln what Calhoun had said. Mr. Lin- coln was surprised that Calhoun should appoint him his deputy, when he was a Henry Clay Whig and Calhoun was a Jackson Democrat, but Lincoln said that as soon as he got the rails made, he would go to Springfield and see Calhoun about it. So in a few days he walked to Spring- field to see Mr. Calhoun and told him that he would ac- cept the appointment if he had the assurance that it would not interfere 111 any way with his political obligations and that he might be permitted to express his opinions as freely as lie chose.
