(lather Apoiiikl a Table and Talk of
Old Times.
Five persons, inch over eighty years
:of age, gathered urou..d a dinner la
I hie!
It's something rarely seen.
Hut it was presented a day or two
ago near Hampton, in Henry county,
| and an Atlanta divine was present at
! tlie dining. Rev. Dr. Thomas, of the
l hristian church, was visiting Elder
W. S. Fears, in Henry county, when
| he gave a dinner to a few oetogenhrians
living in the neighborhood.
Around the table were : -
Jesse (I. Fears, born February 18,
ISOJ.
W. S. Fears, born Novemlier 31,
1807.
Mrs. Catharine Derrick, born Sep
tember 2, ISO 7.
Mrs. Sarah Fears, born August 20,
1800.
Nits. Esther bombard, bom Novem
ber 12, 1810.
“They were all born,” said Dr.
Thomas, speaking of the gathering, “in
the same neighborhood. They were
reared together, and as children played
together, and have always been close,
warm friends. Mr. Jesse Fears was
never married, but his interest in the
grandchildren of his brother is remark
able.
“Two of the ladies,” continued the
doctor, “Mrs. Fears and Mrs. Bern
hard, walked from South Carolina to
Georgia in 1852. They drove the
cows, too, and at the dinner table one
of them naively remarked :
“ ‘When the cows would leave the
road, compiling us\o follow them into
the briars, we wished there were no
cows.’
“One of the live ladies live in Ful
ton county, Mrs. Derrick. Near the
Fears home is another lady who was
raised with the live, hut she was too
feeble to be present at the dinner. Mr.
W. S. Fears is still one of tho most
vigorous men in the county. He fre
quently walks five or six miles visit’ng
the sick and needy. He is a minister
of the gospel, and is beloved by all who
know him. He came to Georgia first
in 1825, and has lived in Henry' coun
