A Sailing Party.

\ party Of ladies and gentlemen started,
on Thursday morning, for Il sailing "trip on
the yacht Nonti.o, and with splendid
breeze all day the trip proved to he one of
the most delightful of the season. As Il
general thing the windings of cur tortuous
and narrow river at Elkton make a sailing
trip only one in name, it being usually the
ili-luck OF the sailers to be compelled to re
sort TO ash sails, until Frenchtown and
wider water is reached. But this was not
the case with the party on Thursday, for
they had only to push down to the dixie, to
get past the mud machine aud scOwS, when
they huisted sail ut abaut ~ o'clock A. NJ,
and never lowered them until their arrival
home ut the wharf at $50 O'Clock With a
stiff breeze the yacht sped along, quickly
passing Plum Point, Welsh Point, Port
. Herman, Reyhold's. Wharf, and in good
time reached the mouth of the river at
Turkey Point, when they entered the Sus-
quehanna River and sailed toward Uavre
de Grace. After this they sailed down the
bay for about three miles and then started
the yacht for home. The Xantto is 4 SPLEEN

A Cantenarian Discovered.

The Chattanooga Times gives an account
of the discovery of a centenarian recently
on Walden's Ridge, near that place, by Rev.
W. w. Bays and Hon Lewis sheperd. It
says of him:
He stated that he was one hundred and
six years old: he was born in October 18th,
1775, in Franklin county, near Gainesville,
GA. His name is Jordan; he has son,
Rev. Richard Jordan, aged about seventy
five, who lives in Rhea county, Tennessee.
Mr.. Jordan has been living in that vicinity
for nearly fifty years, and his statement as TO
his age are corroberatedby aged residents in
that locality, who have known him stree
he moved there from Georgia and can
attest to the fact that half century ago he
was past fifty. Mr.. Jordan fought under
| General Jackson in the war of 1912, and
was at the battle of New Orleans, January
| 8, 1915. He says that the story of the bar
ricades of cotton bales used by General
jackson on that occasion is literally true,
and that he (Jordan) assisted in piling them
up.
! Mr.. Jordan's wife is living; she is eighty.
1 seven, but looks older than her husband.
He appears very much younger than he
really is, and bids fair to live number OF
| years longer. He is probably the oldest
man in the South, and one of the Oldest il
| the United States
