M. ANDERSON, Proprietor In Old Opera House Building BROOKHAVEN, MISSISSIPPI ■ i r Long Life in Lincoln County Many “Young” Old People An Indian woman of the Creek tribe in Manitoba, recently held a re-union of six generations of her family. Sarah Donkey, aged 112, is the common ancestor of the other five. They are Caroline Spence, 90, daughter; John Donkey, 70, grand ton; Ina Spence, 44, great-grand daughter; Sarah Donkey, 22, great great-granddaughter; Jemima Don key, 2, great-great-great-grand daughter. Sarah Donkey, the first retains possession of all her faculties except her eyesight, which is failing. She traveled 150 miles by canoe for the reunion. That is remarkable; but five gen erations have been Denuently known ii Lincoln county and four are of common occurrence. Men and women in this county from 70 to 85 years of age and over are not only in full possession of their faculties but have their second sight and -‘‘new teeth” and are ac tive on their farms and in their homds; and they "come to town” if not fortunate enough • to live in Brookhaven, with the relish of the small boy at a circus or with the keen business acumen of a Carnegie or Rockefeller. As a sample, ask Grandpa Reed, of a green old age how young he is; or Z. P. Jones, retired president of the Board of Supervisors, or Mr. Frank Greer, a model farmer, #hose sons and daughters gray and worn with the long journey, appear boys and gills in the light of his century of time; or “old man Sutton,” or J. G. Sessions, or A. J. Schrader, or many many others 'whose names do not occur to us now. Or turning to Brookhaven note ( the erect carriage and cavalier man ner of Capt. A. E. Moreton, John A. Penn and W. H. Penn; of the acti vities of Confederate Veteran N. E. Spencer, J. M. Byrd, who can shin gle a roof with the dexterity of a youth, John A. McCormick, leading citizen, Grandpa Arrington, and many others whose personal appear ance fails to to indicate the flight of time. "The woods are full of ’em.”— men and women strong and virile who have been born and reared near the highest altitude between New Orleans and Memphis and have stay ed here. * « And the ladies never grow old— the bloom of youth is perennial with them and the blush of the rose is on their cheeks. When two lovely ladies died in recent years it was re vealed one was 101; the other 102! If you want to live long and die happy, you needn’t be an Indian. You can live, lift, learn, love and look young in old Lincoln and be a Methuseleh without letting anybody know about it! And it’s not how old you are at last but how you look! Long life to you in Lincoln. ..iiiiiminiiiiiiiiiiiimmii...iiiii.lining | Bank of Wesson | 1 Wesson, Mississippi 1 H Th ad B. Lampton, Pres. G. G.

Whitworth College, a Methodist nstitution for girls and young wo nen, which has stood well among icntemporary colleges of the South, since its founding in 1858, has un iergone such extensive improyement )f late years as almost to have been ransiormed. Dr. I. W. Cooper has bee^ presl lent olf Whitworth College nearly :wenty years and his administration lias been so notably successful as to mmmand the admiration of all ac quainted with it.

It was made complete the other day by the addition of a real, live baby—the one essential that had been lacking for years. David, the “college boy”, was a dopted this year or rather borrowed from the Oklahoma Children's Home at Oklahoma City. Plans are under way to make this boy, whose mother died when he was ten days old, a month after she was deserted by the father, the most scientifically raised child in the State. Half a dozen senior girls for six yeeks at a stretch will make the home-makers’ cottage their own, cook the meals, make the beds, prepare David’s diet, make his clothes—in short play “foster mother” to him. Meanyrhlie an experienced matron will keep a practiced eye on the cot tage and David. And the Interested public will note the goal attained—the sort of sample of a boy boys will grow to be, raised as carefully as a Duroc Jersey. David ought to be glad he’s an orphan.

SAYS 85 PER CENT AGAINST PROHIBITION Statement Not Borne Out by the Facts — If So Law is a Bad One. A dispatch from Washington says: “That public sentiment in the Uni ted States is 85 per cent opposed to prohibition, and that under these circumstances it would take a fair sized standing army to enforce it, is the statement of one of the officials who is charged with that onerous duty." We would suggest that a move in the right direction would be to re move the official responsible for that statement. If 85 per cent of the people are opposed to prohibition it cannot and should not be enforced, either by the present prohibition forces or a standing army of any size. This newspaper believes that the official who made the statement is merely reflecting his own senti ments, certainly the majority of cit izens favor the enforcement of pro hibition laws'—at least on the other fellow—and that is all that is neces sary for the purposes of the prohibi tion officers. The trouble is probab ly the bootleggers are able to ‘grease’ too many of the officers who are charged with enforcing the law.— Fayette Chronicle.
