Rev. w. w. Ratchford, the venerable
pastor of Tirzah and old Waxhaw
Presbyterian churches, has a most
remarkable record for good health.
For about sixty-seven years he lived
without ever being sick enough to
call in a physician or even to take a
dose of medicine. But last week this
wonderful record was broken, when
for the first time in his long, active
and useful life he was sick enough
to call in a physician to prescribe
treatment for him. His illness was of
a brief duration, however. and when
DIR. H. c. Houston called back a day
or so later to see him, the venerable
and hardy old gentleman was able to
be out as usual. May his useful and
noble life be spared yet many years,
is the sincere wish of a host OF
friends.
