AN ACTIVE CENTENARIAN.

On the morning of July 2 Truman Goodwin of Morris, Conn.,, in the pres ence of a number of his neighbors, went into the meadow with scythe and moved a swath in heavy grass as nicely as any younger man could have done 1t. MT. Goodwin says he has seen the day he would not take the rear swath for anyone, and even now would give anyone a dusty hunt for short distance. He has been into the meadow a number of times this season and moved alone MT. Goodwin, if he lives to see December g, will be one hun dred years old. He walks quite lively and is very erect. He reads the daily papers with great interest. He likes to converse with people, and it is very interesting to talk with him as his memory of events in his lifetime is excellent.

 touched up so freely in the second in-
 ming that Walsh was substituted. The

Held Yesterday in woods Building
 The War Taxes.
 The meeting of the Druggists asso- citation was held yesterday afternoon in the hall over Woods drug store. corner of Church and George streets. The president of the association, Charles Fleischner, presided, and George Linde acted as secretary pro tenn.
 The meeting was called for the pur- pose of discussing the action of the in- ternal revenue tax upon the articles sold by them. The discussion was gen. eral. The tax upon patent medicines is one which bears heavily upon the druggists. It is especially disagreeable as the sale of patent medicines is dis couraged by the druggists in every way possible. No action of importance to the public was taken.
