of longevity. The text Is Exodus TX.
IL. Honor thy father and thy mother
that thy days may be long"
Would you like to grow old? Would
you live upon this earth so long that
your hair shall become white as the
driven snow? Would you, If you could.
live to see your children grow up and
the family scatter and most of the
rooms of the old homestead become
empty and silent except when your
childrcn's children come to make their
grandfather an annual visit and play
in the nursery with some of the same
old toys which their fathers and moth
ers used when they were children?
Would you he born In the latter part Of
one century and live on aud on until
you could stand ut the cradle of n new
century and then live on until you
could SEQ that century cast aside its
swaddling clothes and pass through the
days Of its youth and young manhood
and come on toward It's mission OF
middle life? In other words, would YOU
like to live out the full allotment OF Il
mans life and see the sun rise and set
when you have reached your three
score and ten. or even pass your four
score. or even live on, as did Ludovico,
the famous statesman. who started to
write the memoirs of his times at the
great age of ll5?
Would you like TO be an old man,
like Peter Cooper or Titan or Pc
trarch or Cato or Jacob or Isaac or
Abraham? We'll" you say. that all

McCURDY SHOT
BY DESPERATE
FLOMAToN DEPUTY WOUNDED
BY SEVERAL CHARGES OF
SHOT FROM GUN.
Special to The JouroaI

Flomaton, Ala. Seut 21.-A lively
shooting scrape occurred about four
miles from here, between Elijah Nc.
Curdy, deputy Sheriff and desper-
ado negro by the name of Jesse
Brown.
Deputy Sheriff McCurdy and Con.
stable White arrived at the house
and found their man seated on the
gallery. When McCurdy told him to
consider himself under arrest the des.
perado stepped into his house and
came back TO the door with a shot
gun and opened fire on McCurdy,
striking him between the knee and
ankle. McCurdy seized Whites gun
and returned the fire until all his
ammunition was exhausted, except one
load.
The desperate would fire and fall
back and reload until he jumped out
of the back window and left for the
woods.
Mr.. McCurdy is a brave officer and
generally gets the trangerssors when
he goes after them. The doctor ex-
tracted a number of shot from the
wound and we may expect to see him
out soon in discharge of his official
duty.
