HALE A CENTURY AGO Very few of us have
had sufficient lease of life to have seen and re-
membered, with any degree of accuracy, the
transactions of fifty years A scene occurred at
our depot few evenings since that called up
quite a strain Of thought and reflection
the meeting of a brother and sister after a
separation of ifty-two years.
Mr. David Ker. who lives on Christians creek
in this county, met sister who left home when
a small girl and has been living in Missouri this
long while. We can only imagine how much
they will have to talk about-how much to tell
each other. One has lived at the old home all
these years and the other comes back to the scene
Of her childhood, from her western home They
parted in the early bloom of youth. when life
was fresh and new to both. They meet again in
the ripened years of age, when time had silvered
their locks, wrinkled their brows and made slow
the elastic step.
