Mississippi State News
A Remarkable Couple.

One of the most remarkable faml-
lies in the State of Mississippi, and,
doubtless, in the country, lives in
Jones county, a few miles out from
the thriving little city of Laurel.
Mr.. John Lowe and his wife, Mrs.
Emily Lowe, are splendid testimo-
malls to the health and the longevity
of the citizens of that section of
Mississippi, he having reached the
ripe old age Of 95 years, and she
having gone him one better and eel
ebrated her Goth birthday. This
wonderfully preserved old couple
were married more than sexenty-six
years ago, and settled in Jones coun-
ty, where they have lived more than
three-quarters of century. Thir-
teen children came to bless their
union, race suicide being unknown
to them. They have GO grandchil'
dren, 1913 great-grandchildren, and
8 great-great-grandchildren, max
ing five generations now living.
One of the most remarkable features
of the case is that these old people
can see and hear just about as well
as they ever could. Mr.. Lowe can
shoot a rifle with great accuracy,
and has never worn a pair of spec
tacles in his life. The immediate
family now living numbers 2O7 men
and women, all of whom are highly
respected, and most of them well-to,

Brisk Business in Charters.

The new year has started off in a
brisk manner as far as charters are
concerned, and the office of the Sec
rotary of State is fairly overrun
with them. These charters are for
corporations organized in all parts
OF the State and of every descrip-
ton. During the last few days the
secretary of State has received a
number of letters and kilograms
from parties in New York, asking
him to rush at once certified copies
Of railroad charters which have been
granted during the last few weeks.
This would seem to indicate that the
railroad charters which have been
taken out in the past few months
are not going to lapse like a good
many have in the past, but arc to be
utilized by those persons to whom
they have been granted. The rail
road outlook in the State was never
brighter, and it is believed that this
will be one Of the best years in the
history of the State for railroad
construction.
