OLDEST CIVIC OFFICER.
Judge Davenport an Active Revenue
Gauger at Ninety Eight.

Lexington, KY June 17.-When
James Franklin Hyde was recently
elected city treasurer of Lincoln. ILL.,, it
was widely published that he was the
oldest civic office in the country, he
being ninety-six years old, but this
seems to be mistake, as Judge Rich
ard Henry Davenport Of Midway, KY,
a United States storekeeper gauger IN
the seventh internal revenue district
of Kentucky, undoubtedly enjoys that
distinction
Judge Davenport will be ninety
eight years old at his next birthday, in
December. He has been in the inter
nal revenue service since the early
days OF president Cleveland's second
administration, having been appointed
by Maj. Thomas II. Shelby, a grand.
son of the first Governor of Kentucky,
and continued in office by each sue
ceeding collector in this district during
the Cleveland. Mckinley, Roosevelt.
and Taft ADMINISTRATIONS.
He is most remarkable man in the
excellence of his health, having no in
f1rmities save lameness, which is
the result of a fall received several
years ago, and he is daily at his duties
at Midway whenever the Greenbaum
ulstiiiery Is in operation.
