WHERE MEN LIVE LONG.
Remarkable Longevity Record of
 Campbell County, Tenn.


 Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 Little is known to the outside world of the extraordinary and probably incom- parable longevity peculiars to Campbell County Tenn, in the celebrated Jellico Coal Creek coal belt. From statistics gathered in that county, which is in close proximity to the city of Knoxville, 1t Is stated that there are now living in the county eleven persons hale and hearty who are 100 years of age and over. There are living in this same community fifteen. others who have reached or passed the 90th year of age. In addition to these the names of more than two score can be giv-. en who are more than 70 years of age, thus emphasizing the fact that people can live to ripe old ages in that community. Campbell County IS reported in the cen sus of 1900 as having about 15,000 popu- lation. It has within its bounds only two towns, Jacksborough and La Toilette, of any consequence A number of these aged people reside in Jacksborough and La Toilette, and are frequently seen on the streets of these pIaces.
 Perhaps the most extraordinary case of longevity in these towns in Campbell Is that of the Vincent brothers. Richard Vincent Is 100 years old, George Vincent 102 and James Vincent 10. They expect to live several years yet.
 The Paul family demands recognition. There are now living five children whose father reached the age of 115 years be- fore his death. Their names and ages are: Barr Paul. S1; Squire Paul, 79; Jack Paul. 77, and John Paul, 75. the sons, and Miss Lindsay Paul. 100. the only daugh- ter.
 Mrs. Bettie Clepper is now no years old. She has two sons living. Thomas and John Clepper. who are 90 and SS years of age, respectively. Thomas Chopper for years prayed that he might attain the age of 90, and he has survived the four score and ten or more years He Is an unusually active man for his age.
 The oldest man now living in Campbell County is Jacob Hatmaker, who is 107. He has brother Nelson Hatmaker, who is nearing his S1st birthday.
 Dollie Sutton is 1O4. and next comes Peter Pierce, who is 103.
 John Kincaid, ancestor of one of the leading families of this section, stIn lives in Campbell County. and Is 1O1 years old.
 Mrs. Jane Sattron, who is 94, recently made a trip alone from Lee County. Va. to the home of her daughter at FIncas- tie, Tenn. The trip was in a vehicle. and in cold weather over mountain roads. | She is a well-preserved woman.

Birminghamers Eat Candy.

The Birmingham News says that that city is fond of candy and in substantiating that assertion 1t gives an interesting statement of the number of pounds of candy consumed there weekly which Is 5935. The amount of money spent each week in that city for candies alone az gregates $1 ,9s9. 50. according to a published statement
 It can hardly be said that Birmingham consumes more candy comparatively than any city in the State, but this estimate is interesting for the fact that it indi- cates jus about how much is sold in Montgomery and other Alabama cities &C., cording to their size and population.

Fake Story About Cents.

A rumor to the effect that while coin- ing cents of 1902 date at the Philadelphia mint bar of gold accidentally dropped into the melting pot and found its way into these particular coins has found its way throughout the United States.
 It is said that the treasury officials are constantly annoyed by inquiries as to what certain 1902 cents are worth.
 A sa matter of fact, according to a New York paper, the gold bar story is a myth. In other words there Is nothing to It." The 1902 cents are made of copper and are of no more value than those made in other years.

"THE HOLY CITY"
Sacred Cantata Beautifully Rendered at St. Johns.

The second annual musical service at St. Johns Church was had on Sunday evening. The church was crowded and from beginning to close the most reveren- tial attention was paid. The rector, Rev. MT. Cobbs, delivered a short address, ex- planatory of the service and the sacred character of the music. The organist and choir master, Prof. Rienzi Thomas, dem- onstrated his ability to the fullest extent and the members of the choir faultlessly rendered their parts.
