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. ALMON NEWS. Business in Almon is pretty brisk. are several residences in the vi¬ in course of construction.
