For the last thirty-slx years Noah
Raby, the oldest man in the United
States, has celebrated his birthdays in
the poorhouse near this place. Last
Sunday he reached the age OF l29.
Raby says that he was born in North
Carolina on April l, l772. He recalls
the fact that George III was king Of
England. and remembers to have heard
General George Washington make nn
address at Yorktown about the year
1870. About the beginning OF the last
century he joined the United States
navy, in which he remained until the
breaking out of the second war with
England, when he went back to North
Carolina.
The girl whom he expected to marry
proved tickle, and he lett that part of
the country and went to New Jersey.
He settled in Piscata way township, and
has continued to live there ever since.
He has never married, and has neither
kith nor KIN in this part of the country.
Raby's father was an Indian and he
has always lived al outdoor life. These
fncts are held to be responsible for his
astonishing longevity, which is authenti-
Gated. The oversesr OF the poorhouse,
Henry g. Hummer, who is himself an
old man, says he remembers Raby to
have been very old when he was u boy.
Old people OF the township tell the same
story.
On his previous birthdays at the insti-
tuition he has held reception, many
people coming to see him, but this year
his extreme feebleness made 1t necessary
to forbid anything Of the kind.-St.
Louis Republic.

General Butler in q speech recently
delivered at Plymouth, England, is re-
ported to have said:
"New nations are springing up around
us" he said "and must be allowed to do
what is proper for themselves. Reason.
able concessions must be granted 20 them
We must not repent the error which lost
us America. That first great child Of the
empire was lost because fine, growing
lusty boy was not given enough rope and
was not allowed to think differently in
small matters from his parents"
So, according to general Butler, the
war OF the Revolution was fought over a
disagreement IN "small matters" between
the colonists and the mother country.
For over century the people of the
United States have entertained radi.
cally different view OF this part OF their
national history. Within the past two
years, however, the policy advocated and
pursued by some OF our leading states
men would seem to indicate that they en-
tertain views something similar to those
OF General Butler on the question over
which the Revolution was fought. Gen.
er al Butler and these would be advanced
thinkers OF our nation may be correct in
their views but, il SO, We, to be consist
ent, should cease our annual celebration
Of our declaration OF pational iEdepend.
ence. II national Independence is II
"small matter" to the people o. any land
then they shonld certainly refrain from
making SO much noise about their sue
cess in attaining IT.

years but the boom has Eeen all one

They were taken at their word. Con table Garner, who Welghs 21S pounds, was hunted up, and the negroes were taken to the sheriff s office, where the big constable laid the lash on their bare backs in the old fashioned way.
