The numerous instances of longe-
vity which have appeared in the
newspapers of late are rather re-
markable and proves that this day
and age is not behind in producing
men and women who are 100 years
and over of age. The Courier has
announced that it has a well authen-
ticated case of a man living in
this county who is now 104 years
old. This aged citizen thinks nothing
of walking from 80 to 40 miles to
reach Grants Pass where he has
many friends.
A press report from Reno, Nevada,
gives another instance of a man who
has reached 100 years and over. This
report says:
When Stirling Arnold, a farmer
near here, reached the ripe age of
1903 years yesterday, he ceased heavy
work and his eldest son, a mere lad
of so, is taking his fathers place in
the fields. With the elder brother
are four other sons, the youngest of
whom is SO. 1t was with difficulty
that Arnold could persuade his wife
to cease heavy work She will be 100
Years old npxt month
Arnold was born in North Caro-
lima. He has used tobacco all his
life but has abstained from liquors.
He has been a deacon in the Baptist
