Rev. J. I). Rabun, of Mt. 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

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

exceedingly friendly towards the
people of Mt. Vernon.

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

vor of the Titantie. whom they ,

A Bridle of Mutton.
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!”
