GREAT REJOICING IN THE HALE
FAMILY.
In June, 1883, I commenced u.s.
ing Hibbard's Rheumatic Syrup
and strengthening Plaster for
dropsy and infammatory rheuma-
tism. My sickness had been run
ming over a year and quite a Dor
ton of the time l was confined to
my bed. My liver and kidneys
became much diseased. Hibbard's
Rheumatic Syrup cured me. It
is truly a great remedy. I hear
the greatest praise for it from all
who have used it. Take nv ad-

Mr.. Garland Moore of Morrow
township was presented with q
large and beautiful cake, for being
the Oldest man on the ground,
having reached the age of 1O8
years. Uncle Dick Hill, colored
was also presented with a fine
cake, in recognition OF his being
the oldest settler in Adair county.
The entire affair was a decided
success, and all went homs with
happy anticipations of the an
nual reunion Of 1890.
NOTES.
Gray haired day.
Deer, snake and bee-tree stories
were topics that interested all.
The young settlers were pres
ent, but had the5 good manners to
allow the old folks to conduct the
exercises.
The autumn leaves and old
settlers were in harmony--like the
golden fruit, most admired when
ripe.
T. B. Reed of this city, is SIS
years old, and has lived here 30
years. He built the fourth house
in Kirksville.
Itwas rare sight to stand on
the promenade and see the slop-
ing amphitheater filled with bald
heads fringed with silver locks.
Jacob Cutler of Nineveh town
ship, who is 73 years old, has
been in the county 39 years. He
helped to build the first house in

A reunion like the one Friday
reminds us that we owe all of the
improvements, society, art and
prosperity to the old settlers
They lived lives of hardship and
privation, and we are enjoying
what they bought at dear price.
MIR. Garland Moore was the
great attraction at the Fair
grounds last Friday, having reach
ed the ripe age of los years. He
was born in Campbell county, Va,
and after he had become an old
man turned his face westward to
seek a home that was congenial to
his tastes and habits.EHe lived in
Illinois for short time, and then
came on to Missouri, landing in
Adair county forty-three years
ago. He was then slxty-five years
old. Here he enjoyed his taste
for hunting, and the outdoor life
which has probably done 80 much
to preserve his health. His first
wife died in 1864, at an advanced
age. His sons were then in the
army and feeling lonesome he
married again the following Feb
ruary. He has chewed and smok-
ed ever since he can remember
and raises his own tobacco. He
cultivated about two acres of corn
this season, in addition to his to-
bacco patch, and is also able to
walk two miles without great show
of fatigue. To Mr.. r. NJ. Ringo
belongs the credit of getting him
here last Friday. He was greatly
pleased with his treatment, and If
he lives will come again next
year.
