summer ducks may be shot until January l.,
and rabbits and wild turkeys until Febru-
AIRY l. With the exception of rabbits IL will
be seen that there is but little inducement

Records show a Missouri Negro TO
Have Been Born 123 Years Ago.

Have Been Born LIB Years Ago.
Cole county. Mo-, can boast of the oldest
man in the state of Missouri and perhaps
in the United States. His name is Richard
Hoops. and he is a negro. He lives in a
small shanty on the banks of the Usage
river. at Usage City. According to the
records of his own statements he was born
in Chatham county. n. c.. on December
20, 1t1o, and consequently will be one hun
dred and twenty-three years old on the
10Th of next month. He came to Missouri
with his then master. John L. Hayden
settling at Lanes Prairie Gasconade coun-
ty. n few years later he was transferred
to the man whose name he now BEARS and
Eved with him near Vienna, Maries county,
until the emancipation of the slaves. Since
that time he has lived at Westphalia, but
for the past twenty-five years he has made
his home at Usage City. Hoops is remark
ably well preserved. and lives alone in his
shanty. He fishes a great deal for the big
catfish that frequent the waters of the
Usage, and is never happier than. when
he can catch a big one and make soup of
its head. He is still able to do some work.
and ii was only a few years since that
he contracted with farmer in the vicinity
of his home to remove the stumps and roots
of a newly cleared tract of land. He full
filed his contract, doing all the work him
self. His mind is still clear on many of the
events that happened toward the close of
the last century, and he recalls with great
pride that he once held the horse of Gen.
Greene of revolutionary fame. In appear
ance Hoops is said by the st. Louis Globe
Democrat TO resemble mummy; his skin
looks like parchment, and he is toothless
and hairless, but his step is remarkably
firm and his eyes bright and clear AS
stated, he lives alone having no relatives
as far as known. He is a member and reg
ular attendant of the a. n. L. Church. His
neighbors take great interest in him and
do him many acts of kindness.and he would
not have TO work, as they would supply his
simple wants gladly but he is independent
and says that he proposes to earn his own
living for many years yet. His house stands
under the approach to the Missouri Pacific
railroad bridge across the Usage. and ex-
cept when absent on his fishing trips Uncle
Hoops" as he is called can be found at
home He has the record of his birth, and
there Is but little doubt that he is the Oldest
person in the country.
