MEXICAN RISES FROM
COFFIN AS WIFE AND
OTHER WOMAN QUARREL
MEXICO CITY.—Who settled a
dispute over property successions the
people of Mirto street, Mexico City,
have not decided.
Alejandro Garza de la Pena, rich
haciendado and inheritor of a fa
mous name and immense property,
was pronounced dead by two physi
cians and there followed a wake with
all the formalities of the church. All
day private automobiles came, laden
with wreaths and other floral offer
ings, and a chapel was installed in
the palatial home of the dead man.
Anna Maria Rosales appeared on
the scene and insisted on taking pos
session of the body, saying she was
his wife. Mrs. Garza de la Pena,
wife No. 2, disputed her possession
and the women came to blows.
Anna Maria claimed the dead man
had left all his property to her and
her child. People crowded in from
the street as the women shrieked and
fought over the coffin in the light of
the tall ceremonial candles that light
ed the improvised chapel.
When the row was at its height
Garza de la Pena rose suddenly in
his coffin, asking what all the racket
was about. The mourning guests fled
in terror, headed by Anna Maria Ro
sales. The story of the resurrection
spread rapidly, and the street was
quickly jammed for several blocks
by the curious, who demanded that
the dead man, brought to life, should
be brought out where all could see
him.
“You see for yourselves that the
quarrel of two jealous women can
wake the dead,” Garza de la Pena
said when asked what brought him
out of his death sleep.
102 LIVED OVER 100 YEARS IN
GEORGIA STATISTICS SHOW
Ordinarily deaths are no proof of
the healthfulness of a climate, but
vital statistics figures announced by
the statistical bureau of the state
board of health show that Georgia is
conductive to longevity of life.
Last year there were 102 persons
over 100 years of age to die in the
state, according to records. The old
est of these was 120 years of age. At
at even 100 years of age 35 died.
Next was 103, at which age 10 died.
One death at the ages of 112, 113
and 116 was reported. Fulton coun
ty led in the deaths of centennarians,
the reports show, eight having died
in that county. Bibb and Clarke
came next with five each.
THE MONROE ADVERTISER
COUPLE CELEBRATES
78TH WEDDING DATE
MR. AND MRS. A. O- BLACKMAR
OF COLUMBUS, GA., SAID TO
BE ONE OF OLDEST MARRIED
COUPLES IN WORLD.
COLUMBUS, Ga.—Mr. and Mrs.
A. O. Blackmar, said to be one of
the oldest living married couples in
the world, today quietly observed
their 78th wedding anniversary.
Their children, relatives and
friends dropped in at their home
to extend congratulations and good
wishes, but there was no program of
celebration.
Mr. Blackmar, who is 100, and
Mrs. Blackmar, 98, both expressed
delight with the institution of mar
riage and said they looked forward
with eagerness to several years more
of companionship with each other.
The husband said that to be hap
pily married, a young man must “be
judicious in his selection of a wife,
know the young lady well and form a
correct judgement of her and then af
ter marriage keep in the narrow path
prescribed in vows which he took at
the altar.”
Mrs. Blackmar said she would ad
vise a young woman about to be
married to be “influenced only in
her choice of a husband by her love
and respect for him. A marriage for
money or position in life doesn’t
bring happiness. A woman must re
gard, love and respect her husband
if she is to contribute her share to
marital bliss.” Mrs. Blackmar said
lit “made no difference whether the
word obey is in the marriage cere
mony. A woman will do as she pleas
es about obeying her husband any
how.”
Both oppose companionate marri
age, divorce (except on grounds of
moral turpitude), bobbed hair, short
skirts, prohibition and petting par
ties. They said, however, that the
modern trend of these things would
“wear- itself out before long.”
SEARCH FOR GOLD IN
GEORGIA IS RENEWED
DAHLONEGA, /Ga.—Gold mining
is to be undertaken again in Georgia.
A San Franscisco company has ob
tained an option on fifteen miles of
the mining rights of the Chastatee
river in Lumpkin county and is mak
ing preparations to begin active op
erations. The company has devised
special machinery for mining of the
character required in the hills and
streams of north Georgia and believes
it will strike “pay dirt”, although
much of the territory it proposes to
work has been abandoned for years.
Gold mining has attracted the pros
pectors in north Georgia since 1828.
In October of that year, says a leg
end of the hills, a negro found gold in
the sands of Bear Creek. He stuck
to his prospecting and finally found
a gold nuggest so large as to start a
rush to the new field. From 1829 to
1849 considerable gold was mined in
Georgia. Then California came along
with its big strike and gold hunters
deserted Georgia.
MAN AND WIFE HURT
IN WRECK NEAR SMARRS
Mr. and Mrs. Morris Shapiro, of
Chicago, were injured Thursday
night when their heavy sedan crash
ed into a truck driven by Pat Dud
ley near Smarrs.
Mrs. Shapiro was driving the se
dan south and the truck, owned by
the J. T. McClellan shows, was en

piro to drive too far to the left of
the road, the truck and automobile
crasßing head-on. The truck was al
most demolished and the sedan was
badly torn up.
Mrs. Shapiro received a fractured
arm and various bruises and small
lacerations, and her husband suffer
ed a serious gash op the chin when
shattering glass struck his face. The
driver of the tj^uck was unhurt.
