One hundred and TWenty.three
Years Old.

There is an old German in Clinton
county named Johnny Morg, who has
reached his one hundred and twenty
fourth year, and at this time is quite
active, his mental faculties unimpaired.
DR.. j. N. Page, of this place, is well
acquainted with him, but thought he
had long since passed beyond the veil,
but Clinton county gentleman was in
his store few days ago and informed
him that "Uncle" Johnny was hale and
hearty and was yet very interesting
man. The old gentleman was soldier
in the war of 1912 and is especially en-
pertaining while relating events of
hostilities that closed one hundred years
ago. When he enlisted he was twenty
five years old. When he first landed
in Clinton county he was trained box
er and no man could stand in front of
him, though small in statue himself.

Columbia is, sadly in need of laun-
dry. A few weeks ago the laundry
which was operated at this place by
Mr., G Rasner was consumed by fire,
everything destroyed, entailing loss
of one thousand dollars. Mr.. Rasner
is not man of means and this loss fell
heavily upon him, as there was debt
upon the outfit. We understand that
he would like to again engage in the
business, but can not without help.
Why not get up joint stock company,
purchase the machinery and give Mr..
Rasner chance to pay for it? We I'M
derstand one thousand dollars would
buy a very good plant, and we take il
that Mr.. Rasner would take part OF
the stock.

The Churches and 1911.

Ii the spirit of earnestness which
characterized the week of Prayer, just
observed by union services in the local
churches, is carried into the New Year
then there will be moral and spiritual
uplift for Columbia. Even the worst
of weather conditions and the conse-
suent small attendance on many of the
services did not stay the enthusiasm of
the leaders. They were as men sud
denly awakened to the community's
real needs and spoke vigorously, point
edly, sympathetically. They did not
hesitate to say that the members of
the churches were taking their obliga-
tions too lightly; that the officers of the
law were too slack in vigilance and
enforcement of good order; and that
the good citizens and business men were
but half awake to the evils that exist
and that threaten the community. AS
proof of these charges it Was submitted
that the out lawed drink traffic is in
creasing its ravages in our midst with
no effective and strenuous effort at its
suppression; that harmless" chance
devices that tend to cultivate the gam
bling evil are encouraged in too many
business houses; and that there was a
persistent. systematic effort being made
to re establish the public Pool Room.
Then other existing and threaten
ed evils were pointed out as reasons for
greater diligence in moral efforts. The
speakers were by no means forgetful
of the good work already done and the
excellent moral position attained by our
town, and made grateful mention of
the agencies and efforts that have
brought about this most desirable con-
lition 1t was but the warning cry of
the watchmen who beheld the approach
of danger. Never was the sweet fell
lowship of believers more manifest than
at present exists amongst the churches,
and never were pastors more eager to
point their people toward higher moral
and spiritual attachments. With the
united sympathy and cooperation OF
the working forces the year 1911 will
witness a great advance for oul
churches and in the things that are
worth while for our community.

commercially alive and true blue and all
that they want in order TO prove their
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. is an oppor-

more business and money in the bank
for everybody. And if this same spirit
is shown in all undertakings, public and
private, that are made by our people, a
richer and happier community is the
sure and certain result.

Sixty Years ago.

We have some samples of homemade
dress goods, sent in by correspondent
at Esto, which the women of o-day
should examine and see the character
of Sunday dresses worn sixty years ago.
The writer says:
send you some samples of the old
time cotton cloth, or dress goods.
These are pieces of my mothers dresses
which she carded, spun and colored with
the old time Indigo, in the old time blue
dye pot, then wove on the old time
loom, then with needle, thread and
thimble made them with her fingers
The women of that day would some
times compete with each other to see
which could make the finest piece of
cloth, so the one that succeeded had the
incest Sunday dress.
Some of them made their own we'd
ding gowns. They would bleach the
cotton as white as possible, would then
card and spin both warp and wool as
fine as possible, so fine that they could
draw the warp through their open ended
thimble after being warped ready for
the loom. When the dress was COM
plete and the happy day arrived the
bride-to be would bedeck herself in her
home spun robe ready to meet the bride
groom whose wedding suit would also be
of home made material, fiaxen or tow,
made by the skillful hand of his mother.
