in North and East.
Atlanta, Sept. 1.-"Old Uncle Andy
Montgomery" the Oldest negro in the
state of Georgia, and probab bly, the old
est man in the Southern States, died
this afternoon at the Old Folks Col
ored Home He was well known, not
only in Atlanta, but throughout the
North and East, and had many friends
among both white and black. By those
in the best position to know his age
was said to be III.
He was born in Walhalla, S. c., and
moved to this state with his master,
Col. James NJ. c. Montgomery, in the
earliest part of the nineteenth century.
He was a man more than 20 years of
age during the War of 1912, when his
master James NJ. c. Montgomery, was
fighting the British and winning the
title of colonel.
Some idea of the age of the old man
may be gained from the fact that sew
eral years before his death, in speaking
of Atlanta and her people, he said that
he remembered the time when Jona-
than Norcrcss, dead for ten years past.
and 80 years old at his death, was but
little boy.

Rabies in Far-Off Siam.

wants or friends scatter round the
house certain kind of fruit which is
supposed to be efficacious in prevent
ing the entrance of evil spirits. A cord
also encircles the house. This cord
has been blest by the priests, and is
another barrier against supernatural
Sisitants.
AS matter of fact, what with the
heat CT the fire, the heat of the eli
mate, and the presence of so many
people in the room, it is SO stiflingly,
hot and uncomfortable that it may be
doubted whether evil wanderers from
below would care to sojourn there.
There are always three old women
present on these occasions, whose
business it is to solicit for the little
one the patronage and protection of
sundry guardian angels. They make
three balls of rice and throw them in
lucky directions, and so insure a GER

babe.
