AGED ONE HUN DEED.
Tho Centennial Anniversary of the
Birth of Mrs. Fanny Hill.
A dispatch from Elizabethtown, Ky., to
the Louisville Courier-Journal says: Never
in the history of religious or social events
in this part of tho State was there such a
concourse of jicople as assembled to-day at
Blue Ball church, twelve miles west of this
place, to participate in tho celebration of
the centennial birthday of Mrs. Fanny Hill.
Hardin, Meade and Breckinridge counties
were represented in the throng of over 2,000,
and of the number it was estimated that
fully one-third were related, either by blood
or marriage, with Mrs. Hill, and as it was
an old-age event, the number of old people
present was greater than was ever seen
there before. Mrs. Hill was accompanied by
her husband, who is eleven mouths younger
than herself, and both greatly enjoyed the
celebration and the meeting of so ltiany re
lations and friends.
AT THE CHURCH.
The aged couple were placed in a buggy
it tho home of their son, John W. Hill, and
then a grandson led the horse slowly to
avoid jolting them in the ride to the church,
ane mile away.
They arrived on the grounds nt an early
hour, and already a large number were on
hand awaiting them, and in a short time
they were surrounded by their posterity to
the fifth generation. All three of their liv
ing children were present, the oldest being
TS, and the youngest being 60 years old,
while tho grand, groat-grand, and great
great-grandohihlreu were almost too numer
ous to count.
At the appointed hour,
THE CKIiKMONIES OF THE DAY
were opened with a song by the assembly
anil a prayer by Kev. G. S. King, of Big
Bpring, who read the Nineteenth Psalm, and
ilien gave an interesting recital of the event
ful lives of the aged couple from birth to
tho end of a century. The discourse was re
plete with interesting incidents and reminis
cences, and was listened to with great atten
tion. After the sermon and prayer by
Brother James Jenkins tho audience joined
earnestly in the singing of the doxology,
which was followed by the benediction.
Then followed
A ROUND OF HANDSHAKING
between tho old people, and hundreds who
came to honor them, and then all repaired
to a long rustic (aide and scores of family
and neighborhood spreads, where they found
awaiting them one of the most elaborate
feasts ever spread in the State. The boun
tiful repast was partaken of by the throng,
and then there was left many a basket
ful.
The religious ceremonies were then re
sumed. After a song and prayer, Rev. T.
A. Robertson read the seventy-first Psalm,
and taking his text from the ninth verse,
preached a very eloquent sermon appropri
ate to the day and occasion. The exercises
were closed by the singing of the 307 gospel
hymn,
THE WAYWORN TRAVELER,
in which the entire audience joined with
great animation. Mr. and Mrs. Hill hold
strongly to their Christian faith and spend
much time in religious meditation. Mrs,
Hill joined tho Baptist church in 1811 and
Mr. Hill attached himself to the Cumberland
Presbyterian church in 1828. Seven minis
ters took part in the ceremonies—four Bap
tists, two Methodist and one Presbyterian,
and the event was the grandest that ever
occurred at Blue Ball.
HISTORY OF THE AGED PEOPLE.
The spectacle of such an ag.vl couple sur
rounded by such a numerous posterity cele
brating the centennial birthday of one af
ter the other has passed the ninety-ninth
milepost is seldom witnessed, and is worthy
of the wide-spread attention that has been
given it. Mrs. Hill’s life, though long, has
not, so far as your correspondent could
learn, been very eventful. In reply to a re
quest for some reminiscences of her life, she
replied:
“I don’t remember anything worth relat
ing, except that the Lord lias been good to
me all the time. He has blessed me with
good children and a long life, and if I can be
grateful to Him I will be satisfied.”
Mrs. Hill was born at Culpepper Court
House, Va., and besides being one of four
teen children, she was one of triplets, and it
is somewhat remarkable that every one of
the fourteen, seven boys and seven girls,
lived to be married and reared families and
three of them lived to lie over 90. Her par
ents, James anil Elizabeth Kelly Noll, emi
grated to Nelson county in the early part of
the present century and on Sept. 7, 1813. she
married John N. Hill. Her parents noth
died in the same week in March 1811, of a
malady known as “cold plague,” and two
slaves, husband and wife, died during tho
same week. John N. anil Fanny HUI were
theiiarents of ten children: James F.. who
is 74 yearn old, resides on Rough Creek and
looks as old as his father; Matilda Slack,
who lives in Texas and was present at the
Centennial, und John W., with whom the
old folks live, and tho following who are
dead: Mary E., Cyrus M., Martin, George
W., and William L., and two who died in
infancy. Of their jxwterity they can count
to-ilay, besides tlioir two sous and one
daughter, forty-one grandchildren, sixty
seven great-grandchildren and tivo great
great-grandchildren, making 118 in all liv
ing. Mrs. Hill has ulwuys been noted for
her piety, and has led a life of quiet medita
tion. When asked about herself, she re
plied:
“You will have to get John to tell you; he
always does the talking.”
Both are very feeble and hard of hearing,
but Mi’s. Hill can hear more distinctly anil is
more active than her husband, though she is
nearly eleven months the oldest.
JOHN N. HILL
was born on May 28, 1788, near a town
named Washington, he thinks, about thirty
Utiles from Pittsburg. Both of his inater
ual grand parents were killed by the Indians
during an assult on Forth Kinglcsmith, in
Westmoreland county', Pa., and nt the sainu
time an uncle was captured and carried
away by the Indians and lent iu captivity
Until he reuchoil manhood, lie visited his
relatives and acquaintances, but preferred
tho Indian habits nnil returned to the tribe
and married a squaw. John N. Hills
father, Frederic Hill, was a soldier in the
Revolutionary army, and wu.s wounded at
the battle of Brandy wine. He received a
peusiou of $8 a month during his life.
In 1789, the parents of John N. Hili
moved to Kentucky and settled at Louis
ville, whf-re they remained four years.
Though hut a child, .Mr. Hill has an indis
tinct recollection ot a fort uiiflsome log lints
at Louisville, around which ho played. In
1703, his parents moved to Nelson county
and settled four miles from Burdstown, at a
place known as Fredericslmrg, where they
engaged in milling and merchandising, the
place being called in honor of Mr. Hill's
father. After remaining there ten years,
they movisl to Washington county, wlioro
Frederic Hill erected a mill, and, In addit
ion to fanning, enbarkod in the business of
flathoat trading on the Mississippi river.
Flour was the main staple of traffic, und it
was boated out on Mill creek, Beech Fork,
Rolling Fork und Salt rivers to tho Ohio
river.
The business did not provo profitable,
however, owing to mismanagement on the
port of men be employed, nml at tile ugo of
JO John N. Hill took charge of the flathoat
interests, and in four years lie netted the
snug sum of 830,000. With this sum Fred
eric und Ids two sons, John N. and I Usage,
embarked in a general merchandising
business, in which they lost, all they invest
ed and were deeply' involved. John N. then
rented the mill from his father’s creditors,
and iu three years made enough money to
buy 480 acres of land in Hardin county, to
which ho movod in 1829, taking ha father
with him. He subsequently added 250 acres
t<> the tract, of which the farm of his son
John W, is a jiart. He hail a fondness for
the milling business and engaged in it again,
and continued at it till far advanced in
years.
He says it was at his father’s mill, in
>V asliiugton county, that the famous rock
was found In one eiul of the bag ami the corn
)" the other, the only modification of the
tradition being that it wu& not a rock, but a
blielc of wood, with the corners nicely
rouuded. He says it was brought to tho
mill by' a boy, and when his father left it
out and divided the meal in the bog and
throw it on the horse, the bov objected to
leaving it, and said that his futher would be
mad it he did not use it. The idea of the
boy’s father seems to have been that it
was safer to use the block in the tied end of
the bag, so that if tho string should come
untied or slip off the corn or meal would not
be spilled. When adviuiocd uge rendered Mr.
ILII unable to work, he divided among iiis
children what he had not given them, and
has since lived with his son, John W. Hill,
one of Hardin county’s best citizens,
NEVER GAMULED.
Wlien but 20 years old Mr. Hill was at
Natchez with a llatboat loaded with provis
ions, and he says that he saw so much bet
ting and dancing that he made up his mind
never to bet or dance, and he has stuck to
the resolution through life. While at Natchez
in 1812 trying to sell his l<url, his boat
was tied up at a place claimed by the sol
diers of the garrison under Gen. Andrew
Jackson, and they cut his boat loose and let
it drift out in the river. He had carried
some letters to the General and know him,
and he hastened to him for protection. The
General ran down to the river in a consider
able rage and made his men go out and
catch Hill's boat and bring it toshore and
tie it up right whore it had been laying. Mr.
Hili felt deeply grateful for this net of kind
ness, and repaved it by voting for Gen. Jack
son when he ran for President. This wus Mr.
Hill’s first Presidential vote.
During his long and active life Mr. Hill
has never been a party to a law suit, has
never been a witness before any' court, and
never served as a grand juror. He has never
been a eunditato for office, and once when
his acquaintances undertook to have him
elected a Justice of the Peace ho prevented
them from doing so by saying that he would
not serve if elected. He says, in early days,
when his brother-in-law ran seven plows
with his seven boys he thought that was
pretty' brisk farming, but now when he sins
two of his great-grandsons run eight plow s,
and ride at that, the former feat does not
seem so great. He remembers the days of
the reap-hook, and says that when it was
used farmers did not charge their neighbors
for working iu the harvest-field. He says
he remembers one year when his father had
forty acres of wheat that forty neighbors
dropped in on him and cut it in one day
with reap-liooks.
A WOMAN OF THE MINES.
No Reason, She Says, Why Ladie3
Should Not Speculate in Ores.
Mrs. Fannie A. Kerr, who made 3100,000
in mining operations in Colorado, is in New
York. A reporter for the Mail and Express
called on her at the Hotel Bart holdi yester
day. Mrs. Kerr was elegantly attired in
black silk, decorated with the latest Parisian
duplex passementeries. Instead of finding
a horny-handed and bronze-faced miner, tho
mineress proved to be quite handsome, and
entertaining in conversation. She is
about 35 years old, has large, expressive
black eyes, regular features aud dark com
plexion.
“Women,” she said, “are engaging in
nearly all the occupations, and I do not see
why they should not try mining.”
“How did you come to invest in mining
property?”
“When 1 was a girl in Kentucky I was
verv fond of reading about mines, find often
wished that I could go West and see them.
But my hopes and aspirations about seeing
mines wore doomed to disapjiointment until
seven years ago. Then I made investments
that started ine in thoroughly and showed
me stern realities different from the Utopian
dreams I once had. It was about the time
of the excitement at Leadville, and I was
residing in Kansas City. Through friends
I purchased interests in claims in Colorado,
but received no returns on the investments
until I went to Denver four years ago. I
settled in Denver and went into the business
generally. I bought and sold ami reinvested
my money as fast as I received it. Some
times I owned only part of a claim and got
my share of the claim. One week I bought
a claim on Battle Mountain and sold it out
shortly afterwards at a profit of $3,000. A
great many ladies in Colorado have interests
in mines, but nearly all of these have hus
bands or brothers to look after them. I
studied up on mining and learned how to
look after my own interests. By this time
1 have a prettv good knowledge of mining
in general anil can not be misled verv easily.
I confess I know little about stocks, and
the only mining stock I have is 1,000 shares
in a property I took for payment of an ac
count.”
“Did you go down into the mines and live
in the mining camps to familiarize yourself
with the business?”
“No, I did not have to suffer any hard
ships. I lived in Denver and did most of my
business there. It was understood that!
had money, and miners would come to mo
who dosirol money to develop their pro
perty and would sell me an interest for a
few hundred dollars that became, when the
mine was worked, worth many thousands.
I have tho greatest confidence in miners,
whom I have found to be very reliable and
courteous. It requires a deal of faith in
mining, and do you know I see and feel and
have that ‘faith’ the miners have when they
think they are on the right track. We help
each other out West, stake each otlior, and
have confidence in the integrity of each
other The result is a man may be poor,
but get a stake from someone and find him
self rich within a few months. Once I
helped a man out of a lawsuit at a cost of
several hundred dollars, and I was not only
rewarded by large money returns, but by
his life long gratitude. When a miner once
starts on a lead he should never abandon it.
One poor fellow I heal'd of stopped work
within five inches of a rich mineral deposit.
Miners are generally men of courage and
possessed of more titan the average amount
of brains, or they would not push out and
try their fortunes. Mining is not what it
was when Bret Harte knew it. His romances
arc beautiful and entertaining, but the rail
road, telegraph and other modern innova
tions have destroyed all that idyllic pictur
esqueness. Whisky Dicks’in mining camps
arc put in the lock-ups and made amenable
to t'nc laws. These mining camps in Colo
rado have all the modern comforts, gas,
water, bxks, newspapers, pictures, banks,
and, indeed, the civilization of the East.
What a contrast to Arkansas life, whore the
people live iu miserable cabins, in a land of
wealth still unexplored, for it is said the
mineral deposits in that State nro finer than
any yet found. Mining sliurks are easily
detected. You ban not sell worthless prop
erty except for u worthless price. You
are put through a regular catechism when
you sell, and ore obliged to verify every
statement that you make, and exam
inations and statements must lie mode
by men who are known to be incorrupti
bk
“Have many women besides yourself boon
lucky; - ’
“Yes. but they aro not as numerous as
men, of course. A lady friend of mine,
while on a summer trip, found an outcrop
ping of ore on the surface and located a
claim which sold for s‘>,ooo. Mining for
gold is a fine art, for in a whole ton of earth
you will prolmhlv get no more than an
ounce of gold. 1 know a lady who is a fine
judge of ores and resides in a lovely collage
with her husband rieur some mines he owns.
There is also n lady in GlunnUion comity.
Col., who owns and works a large mine unil
gives it her personal supervision. Sim has
her own home, where she boards the miners
and tends them in siekm The wealthiest
woman in Colorado, Sirs. liishop liilF War
ren, made her own money in the cattle
business and is now worth $10,000,080. I
hold that women have a perfect right to go
into the mining business, as well as the cat
tle or any other legitimate vocation.”

BILLIARDS WITH HIS NOSE.
Making Caroms and Cushion Shots
Without Using Cue or Flngora.
From the Xetc York Tribune.
“Then you never really hoard of a man’s
playing billiards with his nose?” drawled a
mild-mannered gray -haired expert from a
seat in a quiet corner of William Sexton’s
big billiard room in Broadway. It isn’t
often that the grave old man takes his eves
off the game at tho nearest table, but bis
scraps of coaching were lost that night on
the two young men iu dress coats who were
pounding the balls uround helter-skelter.
So he turned sympathetically to another
youth who ha i just taken u seat ltesid 1 him
and was venting his feelings like this:
“Humph; think I could discount either of
them with one arm tied behind my back. I
could beat ’em both with my nose, for that
matter, though 1 never heard of anybody's
making a cue of that.”
“There’s where vt u’re way behind young
man,” tho expert drawled again. “But see
in’ as you know bad billiards when you see
’em, I’ll just tell you about a game l ran
across last winter like that.”
The young man smiled incredulously. He
thought at the worst it was going to lie a
joke on some well-known billiard player,
perhaps on the renowned Sexton himself.
“Well, said the old man gathering him
self together, “you know what finger bil
liards are, to start with. ‘Yank’ Adams
used to play ’em all around, and people
thought tliov wero a wonder for awhile.
Now anybody can play ’em and beut tho
cue every time. It will be tho same way
with those nose billiards I’m going to tell
you about before long.
“I was a sittin’ over in Maurice Daly’s
ro m in Brooklyn one night, lookin’ at Muu
rico do up some spry young chaps that
thought they knew all about the game.
Only one was left and it was getting toward
midnight when two big fellows that looked
like rounders, only not so bad as that, came
in. and behind them a short, small man with
a broad rod face and a bloomin’ big shiny
nose. When Maurice stopped the litt lo man
got a cue and said lie'd play anybody in the
house. The spry young fellow went at him
for a small stake and won. Then he tried a
bigger one and won aguin. It was fifty
points up, three-ball game and the young
fellow had only five to go on the third string,
when the shiny-nosed man threw down his
stick and said:
“ ‘lf de slientlemans hav’ no objeckshuns
I vill play' me alretty mit mine nose.’
“Aud he put Ins nose down sidewise
against the cue ball, squinted carefully,
pushed and made a long, hard carom. Then
picking the cue ball up, like Adams used to
do, he placed it again, aimed, shot and made
a cushion. He didn’t miss but once, either,
until he had run the string away out.
Maurice was so knocked out that he forgot
to collect the tariff on the table. The spry
y'oung man had last all he had made, and
more too. He quit right off for that night.
The two big rounder-looking fellows gath
ered in their friend, whose nose was bleed
ing a little, and piloted him down and out.
They said it was a little joke of his when he
was on a lark. I never saw him after that.
But that nose game’s been running in my'
head ever since—tho sort of game they’ll
play in tho next century, perhaps.”
“Ah, yes,” added the young man admir
ingly, “and what beautiful players some of
the chosen tribe will make.”
Over at Maurice Daly’s tho next after
noon one of the markers could remember
faintly that some such extraordinary match
had taken place.
“You mean Josh, I guess. Kind of big
nosed fellow that came in here one night.
Blithe played with a cue whim I saw him.
Yes, go down ou Fulton avenue and you’ll
run aerost him in one of the hotels.”
“Josh"’ wasn’t at any' of the hotels, how
ever. The hotels, of course, were mere beer
shops with a billiard room attachment. But
a waiter at one of them had just seen him
go out.
“Oh, yah, dcr funny man, wat play de
beolyard mit his nose. Jus’ so. He play
liter offen mit himself Tie der klein slitick
mit ein storing auf his nose? Oh, yah. I
iiuve him geschen offen.”
“Josh” htinself denied this last part of
the big German’s story, when he was col
lared at last under a street awning near tho
City Hull.
“Well, yes, maybe I did and maybe I
didn’t play that game up at Mr. Daly’s. And
it may be just a yoke some of rny friends is
playing on you. But I never used any little
cue, if I played at all. This cue’s good
enough for me.” and the great billiai’dist
tapped his big brauening, peach-blow nose
fondly.
“Well, yes, I play the game,” he went on,
“I’m givin’ you the straight tip now, young
feller. My name is ‘Josh’ Myers, ana I can
count with my nose faster than any ama
teur can with his cue, and my friends has
got 8100 to say I can in any hull in Brook
lyn. This is tho way I learnt it. You see I
used to keep a billiard table ’fore I went
into the tobacco business, what I’m into
now. And one day nnold Frenchman copie
along and he hired, the table a kind of quiet
aud he played off there with his nose. And
I seen ut first and thought it was all non
sense. But after the old man went away I
said to myself that there must be somethin’
into it, so I tried once and kept on tryin’ till
I got the hung. It made my nose blued at
first some and the tip of it red and sore, hut
it’s all hardened up now and I tell you I
don’t need no chalk.”
“Well, you've seen finger billiards,
haven’t you? It’s thp same game. I place
my cue ball near the object ball and jjien
hit with my nose to carom or cushion for
the other. I can’t inako draw shots, of
course. And the follows are pretty hard,
but the ordinary Englishes are nothin’. I
can make an average of Dm easy on a three
ball game, and I know that’ll knock almost
any amateur. I’ve got a backer or two.
Anybody that thinks he can lick me, or
thut I’m playing ‘fake,’ just let him come
on. ”
Tlio groat billiardist would not give an ex
hibition, however. Like some other re
doubtable champions, he is saving his met
tle until the stakes are high.
Treed a Yankee.
Erom the Anierieus (On.) Recorder.
When Col. Stcklqg, with liis live Yankees
wus commandant of the post, witii head
quarters in Americuv, and lmd the columns
fronting Col. 18. H. Hawkins, residence
draped in tiie folds of a large United litotes
flag, hi men were as eager for yaller-legged
chick-.T* as ever a half starved Confederate
was during the invasion of Maryland and
Pennsylvania.. Edward Littleton had a
pretty large stock of chickens, and he owned
two llorco dogs that guarded Ins premises at
ni:;ht. One night lie was awakened by his
(logs after something, and ho lit out of lied,
with only a long white rolie on his person
and ran to his chicken house. The moon
was full and it was nearly as bright us duy
and as he got near his hen house, he found
his dogs miring up aud trying to reach the
top of a 10 foot post that was planted in the
yard. Ou top of the post was a real live
Yankee, with ids hlu ■ uniform and brass
buttons, showing off his manly form to the
admiring delight of t# " dogs. They didn't
understand what so many shining tilings,
so far from the stars meant and they were
anxious to know. As soon as the Yank saw
Ed hovelled out:
“Call off your dogs, Johnnie; I want to
come down. ’
Kd coolly said, “I can’t. Didn’t set them
on you ami don't want them off. Whut are
you doing up there?”
“Come iu to get some water,” was the
reply. “Get the dogs off.”
“That was a queer place to get water on
top of thut post. Was it good?” said Ed.
The Yankee went to pleading, while the
dogs kept up a whining and licking of their
jaws us they hungrily eyed the Yankee on
his perch. At last getting (sleepy Ed hold
the dogs, told the V ankee t lie well was on
the other side of the house and lie could
co.ue down and get his water. Tho fellow
came down in n hurry, but declined the
water, jumped over the fence at the nearest
point and went to camp without tho chick
ens.
