THE announcement of the death of resident
of Augusta at the extreme age of 1O1 years, re-
minds us of the singular phases which human
life often presents. Twenty-eight years ago
this old man was quite sick, and his life was
despaired of. A neighbor, an active business
man, in average health, paid him visit at the
time, and on returning to his own home, re-
marked that he feared his aged friend would
not live until morning The words had scarce
" passed his lips when he dropped dead upon
the floor of heart disease.
