Ver non, came down Tuesday to offi ciate at the funeral of our fellow citizen, Victor H, Coursey, and he conducted the service in his usual Christian like style. Rev. Rabun is loved by the Lyons peo ple and while his visit was a sad one, his many friends were glad to see him and have him with them even if only for a day.— Lyons Progr< ss. Mrs. M. If. Calhoun and chil dren have returned from a visit among relatives in Athens. Ex-State Senator Mann of Mc- Rae was a visitor here one day last week. Mr. W. W. Elliott of Ilomerville, formerly residingat fliggston, reached here monday, just after his mother’s remains were buried. Miss Lucy McAllister and Miss Bessie Stuckey were visitors to Mcßae on Tuesday. With the people all indoors hovering over fires, no body com ing and no body going, we fn I it almost a hopeless task to get up an interesting local colum this wet k. The oldest inhabitant -we’ve got some old ones, too -does not remember to have seen suburban fannere out planting potato draws in June with their over coats on before. Mr and Mrs. W. 11. McQueen and children went to Liberty county on Monday to visit rela tives. If June weather there is the same variety we are having hero they may have to build fires along the lake shore for the fish to get warm c i nigh to bite. Mr. I). F. Warnock of Tarry town was a visitor here quite re cently. In fact Mr. Warnock is exceedingly friendly towards the people of Mt. Vernon. A party of young people were up Sunday from Yidalia by auto mobile. Mr. Z. F. Reynolds, who has boon with the Monitor force for sometime, left Saturday night to visit llazlehurst and other points. Prof. Robertson, elected presi dent of the Brewton-Parker In stitute, is expected to arrive this week and assume control of the school. MACON, 1)1 15L1N A: SAVANNAH KY.

A., Macon, Ga. ' Patronize Our Home Advertisers. It is probable that this cold snap in June will put a stop to some of the big stories being told by local sports as to the size of strings of fish being caught. Capt. M. D. Hughes and a few others of our veteran friends are considering the trip to the great reunion at Gettysburg. Dr. Hunt, Dr. Rackley, Mr. E. G. Smith and Mr. J. F. Currie brought hack a fine lot of fish from their outing on the Ogee chee last week. Some sinners around Mt. Vernon has had the audacity to inquire as to how many of them were bought ready caught. There are several well-defined rumors circulating around in this section as to matrimonial ven tures, but so far our reporter has not been able to run one to a de finite conclusion. We cannot speak for the girls, but if matri mony ever overtakes a Mt. Vern on hoy it will have to slip up on him from behind. We do not give much credence to the stor> that a Mt. Vernon man got out to sewing oats Tues day, thinking October had come. Rev. *C. M. Ledbetter is attend ing the District Conference of the Mcßae Districtat llazlehurst this week. 0, you good old summer time! If you will only come back all will be forgiven; and we will hide our mufflers and overcoats and say nothing about it any more. Among other June incongrui ties noted on the streets yester day was a negro hoy dressed in an overcoat and white slippers. So far as we know there has not been a word said about a Fourth of July celebration in Mt. Vernon. Mr. Emory Martin of Alston was seen scooting around here in his automobile late Sunday after noon. Mrs. Booth is again at home after a visit to friends at Hazle hurst. Dr. M. L. Currie of Vidalia was among his friends and for mer neighbors here on Friday last. Mr. F. B. Mcßride of Hack Branch was attending to business here on Friday. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR —THFRSDAY, JUNE 12, 1913. Extraordinary Longevity. In the United States, we think of a veteran of the Civil War as a man well advanced in years. And in all countries the ranks of those who took part in any cam paign fifty years ago are rapid!\ thinning. A correspondent of the Frankfurter Zeitung, howev er, calls attention to the extraor dinary longevity that distinguish es the veterans of the Russian army. An event that took place du- 1 ring the the centennial celebra tions of the “War of the Father land ” as the campaign against Napoleon in 1812 is called, arous ed wide interest. The committee ; that was arranging the festivities in Moscow conceived the strang ! notion of issuing an invitation to ; the veterans of this war of a hundred years ago. Foreigners: j considered it a pretty and senti mental bit of formality, To the ir astonishment, however, there proved to be as much reason as poetry behind it, for twenty-six survivors of that terrible winter of 1812 responded to the call. This longevity is all the more remarkable in view of the rigor of the climate and the hardships to which these old soldiers are doubtless expose 1 in their peas ant homes. Furthermore, in the remote districts from which most of the veterans came, there is a conspicuous lack of progress in medicine and hygiene. Naturally, these aged men, crippled, and failing, could take no active part in the festivities. Their mere presence, however, was enough to make the occasion remarkable. The youngestof the “old boys” was one hundred and seventeen years of age; the oldest was one hundred and twenty-six years old. He was born in 1786, be fore George Washington was elected president of the United States! It is almost incredible that one man’s life should span such a space of years. GENERAL NEWS ITEMS. In the wreck of an automobile on the Houston road near Macon Sunday afternoon, a young wo man named Myrtis Brown had her back broken and three ribs also, and others in the car were j injured.

From the London Tit-Bits comes the latest sally upon the high cost of living. A man was in some perplexity as to what cut of meat to buy. “Why don’t you try a saddle of mutton?” suggested the butch er. “A saddle?” repeated the man. “Why not a bridle? 1 should stand a better chance of getting 1 a bit in my mouth. ” 1 A Singular Motive. “Hey! What are ye doing there?” Little Arthur was caught, says Answers. He was up the pear tree, his pockets full of luscious fruit, whii: below stood a bull terrior, trying wildly and franti cally to reach him. And the owner of tree and dog had just come upon the scene. ‘ What d’ve want up my pear tree, young feller?” asked the I farmer again, in gruff and angry tones. “P-p-pkase, sir, t-t-trying to teach your d-d-dog to stand on his h-h-hind legs!” TEACHERES EXAMINATION.
