A Mite-y War.
Brother Am Hunn made extra prep
arations to enjoy camp meeting last

awaited him. He mad i his tent downy
with plenty of nice white wheat straw
and drew his friends around him from

Last Tuesday night Miss Lenimie

and rode over in the hack with Mr. j
Tom Sutton. It so happend that no
one was at home that night except
Miss Lmma Knott and her mother,
who for protection had a loaded pistol
convenient. M hen Mr. Sutton rap
ped at the door of course both ladies
were frightened, the tirsi thought being
of burglars. Hearing no voice the
second rap was more than .Miss Emma
could stand, when she seized the pistol
and immediately commenced firing out
the window. Tommie waited for no
further explanation aud beat an uncon
ditional retreat, hustling to the hack
as quickly as possible and took Miss
Lemmie in a gallop to the hotel.
Thoroughly frightened, Miss Kmma
made her way to her brother-in-law’s,
“Uncle Tub” McKibben, who went up
town and soon learned the straight of
affairs.” The remainder may be bet
ter imagined than told.

A HI IAN CURIOSITY.
The Oldest Man On The
Face of the Globe
IS I‘ltOßA 11L 1 HIRAM LES
TER, OF HEXRY CO EX
IT, GEORGIA.
lie is Seen l>y The Journal—A Full
History of Ills l.lfe—He was Horn
In 1789—The Kpochs Through
Which He Hus Passed.
That Henry county has, in Uncle
Hiram Lester, the most remarkable
curiosity in the shape of an aged human
being on the face of the earth, there
is but little doubt; anu the facts need
only to be thoroughly known for him
to become a noted figure and attract
the eyes of the world as such.
During the district meeting in Mc-
Donough Dr. J. W. Lee, of Atlanta,
visited him on our poor farm and wrote
an interesting article for the Atlanta
Journal, which we reproduce in lull
below :
HIRAM I.SSTKR,
Aged I - J4 years, probably the oldest man in
the world.
Hiram Lester, the oldest man pei
baps now living upon the earth.
Born in North Carolina in 1769.
Helped to clear the lands on which
Miiledgeville stands in 1804.
It is thought necessary to go from
home to find curious things They are
in England or Switzerland or out in
the Yellowstone park. They are in
Russia or Alaska or Mexico.
Things, as a general thing, get cu
rious and interesting in proportion to
their distance from where we were
born.
The Chattahoochee river is about
as fine a stream as the Rhine. It is
not aristocratic to talk about its beau
ties, however, because it flows by our
own homes. It flows under vines as
green, and over sand as white, and by
homes as happy as any river in the
world. But the hills which rise from
its waters are crowned by no castles,
where stupid and pleasure-loving bar
ons once reveled at the expense of the
rest of mankind. It gets tone and sig
nificance from no legends coming down
from the historic past to mingle with
the music it makes as it passes to the
sea. It is a plain blunt river, with no
history, and no record save such as it
has made in turning tl e shops and
factoi ies which stand upon its si les.
All it lacks of being interesting is to
get itself associated with some song or
romance.
The Minnehaha falls fell ill the most
matter of fact way till Longfellow made
to them a pilgrimage of love. There
was the same rising of spray, and run
nine down deep gorges before Long
follow’s visit as afterward. But be
caught the stream in the rytlim of bis
song, ami gave to its fall and
j music and flow a life lasting as beauty,
j The only advantage the Rhine has over
I the Chattahoochee is, it has liecn for
I 'unale enough to get into song and leg-
J end all the wav from the Alps to the
North sea
There is wiihin thirty miles of At
lanta. at this very time, the most inter
esting natural curiosity to be found,
perhaps, on the face of the green earth.
It is a human being who began to
breathe in the year 1707, one hundred
and twenty-four years ago. The very
year the king of England charged on
the people of Massachusetts, at the
opening of parliament, lor the purpose
of independence and subversion to the
constitution, the heart of Hiram Les
ter began to beat. Its stroke has been
regular and undoubted amid all vicis
situdes and changes since.
Five billions of people have appeared
upon the earth and disappeared since
this man first saw the light.
He was five years old when the con
tinental congress met in Philadelphia
iu 1774.
He lacked but one year of being old
enough to vote when George Wash
ington died. He had seen a half centu
ry of years melt into the past when
George the Four h ascended the throne
of Great Rritain.
He was 71 years of age when Wil
liam Henry I!arrisoii, the distinguished
grandfather of our chief magistra'e was
I inaugurated prtsident of th£ United
| States.
He was heading under the weight of
7A long and eventful years at the time
the first message was ever sent by tel
egraph
When Aaron Burr and Alexander
Hamilton were lighting according to
the code in Hoboken, N. J., lie had
been battling with the difficulties ol
life forty years. When V\ illiam Ewart
G'adstonc appeared on the st: ge ol
action, to carve for himself the great
est name of any living Englishman, and
at the same time to make the greatest
contribution to human progress of any
man of bis time, lie was ir. the prime
of life.
It has been published on reliable au
thority that men have lived iu Russia
and elsewhere to the advanced age of
17)0 years and more. But if a ten
thousand dollar premium were offered
for the oldest man now eating three
meals a day on the earth it is highly
probable that Hiram Lester would lie
in the Henry county poor house no
longer than it would take the judges to
put into his palsied hands the golden
prize.
Beyond all reasonable doubt he
would have money enough to make
him doubly sure of having his own
home in which to close a life so long.
Station three such men, one after
Uncle Hiram sunning himself on tiie
stops of the Henry county poor house.
another, directly back into the past and
they would carry us hack into the
neighborhood of Christopher Columbus
and the wonderful event of 1492.
Let fifteen such men touch in a di
rect line straight back, and they would
take us to the time of St. Paul, the
great apostle to the Gentiles
Supposing a step to he 122 years
long, wo could walk over the heads of
forty-nine such men clear back to the
time of Adam, as he stood in his hap
piest days amid the trees of Eden.
Many men have won fame since
1769 by the sword, the pen or the
brush.
Hiram Lester has won a name by
keeping quiet and outliving all his con
temporaries.
At a reception given by the lord
mayor of London, in 1889. at which
1 had the good fortune to he present,
several speeches were made. Some
by Englishmen, some by Americans.
A young preacher from the great west
said, in commiitg back to England be
felt lie was comming borne. Rut. there
was no dohbt in bis mind but that the
good people in England who had re
maiued at home took great interest in
the young people wdio had gone out
from the parental roof over the sea.
There were lessons the English might
learn from their rushing, vigorous de
scendants. There were lessons, too,
the Americans might learn from the
English. 'The English did not go so
fast. They took their time; did not
appear to be in a hurry, yet they got
iu their work, and were always up and
ahead in results. He illustrated his
point by two men running a boat race
The stream was very swift. So strong
and rapid wa« the current that one
of the men noticed that both boats
were carried down faster than in spite
of all their woiking the oars, they
were carried up So lie, simply cast
anchor and heat Ins competitor and
won the prize.
’I he Americans rushed and pulled
for dear life, while the English simply
cast anchor and beat them. In this
way Hiram Lester has won the prize
of long life over all his competitors.
He has anchored himself to a few
simple rules aud a reasonable amount
of food, and has managed to project
his life further down the sftoam of
lime than any of his generation.
He is hearty and cheerful, eats well
and sleeps well.
lie does not have the blues, and can
talk of the'imes of Troup and Clark
with the same interest as if they were
just passing.
He has heard Lorenzo Dow preach,
and rem< ml»ers all the anecdotes that
used to be told concerrtiiig the strange
man. He gave a graphic and definite
1 description of the method Ixirenzo
j Dow used to adopt in order that he
| might raise the devil.
'I he thuuJer of the world’s trouble
I lias not soured the milk of human
kindness in the old man. Waves of
real fun could lie se< ii rising and fall
! ing above and below the lines the years
had drawn on Ids face. It was to me
j a sublime sight to see a man who had
fought aud defird the years with so
l much grace and good will. I was
convinced that beneath the warp and
woof of wrinkle* time had woven,
there beat a kind and generous heart.
A sour, splcutic, faultfinding persons
would have fretted out his existence
before man hood’s hour had reached its i
noon.
Hut another source of strength had
my old friend, to a kind and geneteus
heart, to an easy and good natured dis
position, was to he added, in his case,
a belief in the decrees, lie is, by con
stitution and profession, a Primitive
Baptist.
It is said now, even in Ptesbyterian
circles, not to he advanced to hold to
the decrees. Hut it is beyond dispute
that belief in, and reliance upon, the
decrees help one to live a long time.
People who accept and rest upon the
decrees do not worry and fret them
selvet to death trying to run the world*
They have a distinct understanding
with ihcmsehies that the Almighty
has undertaken to du that work.
This gives them time for peace and
composure. They have no objection
to helping tl e Lord now and then, for
exercise. Hut they are ever ready to
admit that the Lord does not need
them, and tlmt when they stop the
work goes on just the same. This
class of people sleep and digest their
food. They are not perturbed and
disquieted. Things are so put togi th
ee us tlmt they can not he “misinan
nged long.” '! hey believe -the Lord
i> at the helm, urn! that, with the Im
man race on bond, he is conducting
ilie old world ship to some great ha
ven. So while many are rushing
about on deck asking questions and
baring the storms, they find their
place of rest and sleep.
Iliram Lester has never been drunk,
and says lie lias never used tobacco
only for drenching horses for the
gi ulib-.
If any are disposed to he skeptical
about the age of the subject of this
sketch, they are referred to Mr. T.
C. Nolan, who lives in Henry county.
Through the courtesy of Mi Nolan 1
had the pleasure of an interview with
this old man.
If conversation with a reliable and well
informed attorney fails to convince one
that Iliram I,ester is as old as he
claims to he, then 1 would recom
mend a visit to the old man himself.
No doubts will remain in the mind of
of the pet son who sees him and hears
him talk. He has a son until recently
with him in the poor house 80 years
old. This boy of his he calls Ed.
The Henry county people could not
do more to advertise their county at
the comming Piedmont exposition
than to bring as a part of their exhibit
this man celebrated for the number of
winters he has passed through.
The pictures of him were taken by
Mr. J. I). Edwards, of the firm of
Edwards & Son, photographers, at
fioi Whitehall street.
This photograph of Hirm Lester is
as perfect as the light can make it.
Merit wins, as the marvelous suc
cess of Hood’s Sarsaparilla shows. It
possesses true medicinal merit. Sold
