A Powerful Old Man.
lLamberton IN. C.D Paper.l

One of the most remarkable feats
ever performed in this section was
witnessed on the high road leading
out from this town In the direction
of Shoe Heel. A farmer about 20
years of age, named Meredith
Gaddy, drove into town in an OK
cart after load OF corn. He got
ten bushels of grain. purchased a
few articles for his wife and chill
dren, took few. drinks of noun
tain whisky and started for home,
Is miles off. The OK was u sorry
and diminutive specimen of that
useful animal, which, after getting
about five miles from here, gave
out and could not be forced to
move another step. Nothing
daunted, old man Gaddy unyoked
the OK, and, putting the yoke on
his own neck, drew the loaded cart
the rest of the way home, which
was about ten miles up and down
hill. The determined old man
trudged along the highway with
his burden, jeered at by the chill.
dren and an object Of general in
terest to the passers- by. Upon
reaching his home Gaddy carried
his load up to the front portico,
went into the house and took an
other pull at a whisky flask. He
remarked to his wife, as he smack
ed his lips, that II "that little bull
hadn't been SO darned obstinate,
would have put him In the cart
and drawn him along too" Gaddy
is the father of twenty-oue chill
dren. of whom there are two pairs
of twins. Although seventy years
of age, he is regarded as the most
powerful man In this county.
