A letter was received by a lady here
a few days ago from a friend in Vir-
ginia, who spoke of the inactivity of
the elderly ladies there. When a Vir-
ginia woman reaches the fiftieth mile

tertainmentS is concerned. This is not
the case with Marion women There are
several here over whose heads fifty sum-
mers have passed. but you would not
know it from locking and talking with
them. They are as young as Virginia
women at thirty-fve. This lady referred
to gave an example of the way Marion

belongs TO a Shakespeare and physical
culture class. Marion Chronicle.
