Mt. Airy News.
Mr.. John Hall. who lives near Rusk
post-ofice, this county, will be one
hundred years old on the 25th of De-
cember next if he is permitted to live

to surry many years ago. He is an
old Confederate soldier, having served
throughout the great struggle between
the States. He is enjoying fine health,
considering his great age, and has the
promise of living many more years.
He does more hard work than half the
men in Surry county, putting in near
" full time either on the farm or in
the blacksmith shop. He expects to
be visited by all his children, grand
children and great grandchildren

You can't have good spirits and a bad

your liver in fine condition by using

Wage-Earner or Not.

Youths Companion.
Should newly married wife be
waeeearner, or should she not only be
exempt from paid labor, but forbidden
to pursue it? A school board In one
State orders its women teachers to re-
sign on marriage. A college professor
in another State assures his classes
that both husband and vile should
work for hire during the early years OF
marriage, and thus secure family IN
come of twenty dollars week instead
of ten dollars.
There is NO invariable law for 60 va
riable quantity as ''the young mar
ried woman" She should put her la
Dor where it will have the greatest eco
nomlc value in the long run. II che
is an inexperienced cook and house.
keeper, and a good seamatress or eales-
woman, she must utilize her best
powers. But even ten dollars a week
of wages added to the income may
mean only the difference between a
fourth-rate and q third-rate boarding
house for the young couple.
On the other hand, the ability to
COOK and serve tempting meals may
result in well-nourishsd bodies, con-
tented minds and happy hearts,-livlng
In a home, although it consist OF but
two rooms,-and as far removed from
the discomfort of clearinghouse as
treetop is from a caye. A wife who
has that ability Is worth more In her
own kitchen than in anybody else's
shop. If she transforms two dollars
worth of supplies into ten dollars
worth of board, she has not ceased to
be of economic value, although she
may not have pay envelope on Satur-
day night.
If she adds to her good housekeep-
ing the ability to turn a penny by a
bit of millinery or sewing or jelly-mak-
ing or picking, or any other honest
work in this busy world, so much the
better. But so long as the labor OF
body and mind depend on the food we
eat, the young wife need not be asham-
ed of her share in the domestic partner
ship, if she contrives means by which
that food shall not be spoiled in the
cooking.

Butter ~ Years Old.

Charlotte Chronicle.
A stone jar Of butter that had been
buried for ~ years was found the other
day on farm in Burt county in north
eastern Nebraska.
Forty-two years ago family by the
name of Decatur lived on the place,
and one day in summer this jar was
packed and placed in the spring. A
few days later, when one of the family
went to get the butter it was gone, and
no search unearthed it The Ponca In
dams roamed the neighborhood, and
the suppos, ton was that it had been
filched by some of them.
The Dacaturs lived and died, and the
farm has changed hands several times
since then. Two weeks ago a man
was put at work excavatlng for an out.
building close to the spring. AT a
considerable depth he encountered 8
stone jar.
On being exposed to the air the ia,
crumbled to pieces and a four-pound
roll of butter fell out. It was mouldy
on the outside, but yellow and sweet
inside.
The butter was brought to town, and
neighborhood tradition soon establish
ed that 1t was the self-same roll put ir
the spring forty-two years ago. A
member OF the Decatur family recalled
the circumstances fully.
An investigation of the spot disclos
ed the fact that the bottom of the ole
spring was in quicksand, and it ls sup
posed th-t the weight of the jar ant
its contents caused it to drop to /,
firmer bottom, where it was kept in
tact all these years.
This is undoubtedly the oldest roll o
butter in the world, and steps hav,
been taken to preserve it for exhibi
ton at the st. Louis Fair.

There is q disease prevailing in this
