The other day when our venerable
friend, Mr. Washington Loyd, called
to see us we stated that he was 70
years old, when iu fact he is 80 years
of age. From the active manner iu
which he moves around and attends
to business, those unacquainted with
him would not take him to be more ;
than 50. Time has dealt very gently
with our friend, and we trust he will
lie spared to his people for many long
years to come.
Through the kindness of Mr. R H
Thompson we have read an interest¬
ing letter from our old friend, Colonel
Iverson A. Jones, of Denver, Ark.
Iverson has one of the best 300 acre
farms west of the Mississipi river. He
has thorough-bred horses, cattle and
hogs ; laises grain and grasses, and
has one of the largest apple orchards
in his state. Himself, his good wife
and charming daughter are all heal
thy and happy, and are delighted with
life on the farm. In fact, Iverson is
now a wealthy man, and he made ev¬
ery dollar of it by honest toil. He
came out of the war a mere youth,
maimed in both arms, his body muti.
luted with bullets, but with unimpair¬
mind and energy he began an une¬
struggle with the world and has
out victorious. Long life and
prosperity to our friend and
his interesting family.
