has rounded out the full measure of
her hundred years. The centennial OF
Mrs. Amelia Dubois was celebrated
by hundreds of people who met to do
her honor. The public schools were
closed, that the children might join
in the celebration. In charge of their
teachers, they marched to the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Dubois and escorted
them to the opera house, where an in
teresting program, in which many
prominent people of the neighborhood
took part, was carried out.
One pleasing feature was the pres
entation by the children of a quantity
of flowers the money for which had
been collected among themselves.
The interest shown in the occasion
by the people of Fayette and surround
ing towns is evidence of the high
esteem in which this remarkable old
lady. is held. Every faculty of her
mind is alert and responsive, and her
brown eyes still retain their attract

needlewoman, and still spends much
time in preparing dainty gifts for her
