PAP" GRADY
Celebrated His 99th Birthday
Still a Vigorous Old Man.

Pap Grady, father of Mr., X.
n. Grady, residing near Weston,
celebrated his ninety-ninth BIRTH
day Friday, at the home of his
son. He is the oldest man in the
county, and probably the oldest
man in Western Kentucky. The
old gentleman is by no means in a
helpless condition. He can walk,
b b'iskly, shaves himself and his eyes
have not failed him, being able to
read without the aid of glasses.
His memory is excellent and he
often relates incidents that occur
red when the nineteenth century
was in its infancy. The old man,
who has seen the SHOWS of ninety
nine winths, and enjoyed the plea
sures of as many summers, is still
hale and hearty, and enters upon
his journey towards the hundredth
milestone of his existence with
bright prospects of safely reach
ing the century mark.

nois Central railroad. He has a
wife and several children.
