A Remarkably Preserved Octogenaran.

Prof. r. N. Parker of Purvis, who
was in charge of the singing In the
Presbyterian meeting which closed
Wednesday night is man in class
to himself in two ways. He was
born at sea while his parents, Irish
immigrants were on the way to set
tie in Georgia. This makes the
question of his citizenship a fine
point, but it, was settled the first
time he came to vote His ballot
was challenged but he was sustained
in his franchise as it developed he
was born closer to this side on the At
lantic than from the point where his
parents embarked coming here to
naturalize as American citizens. His
mother died and was buried at sea.
The other particular is IN which he
wears his years. He is SO years old
he tells us and a remarkably well
preserved and active man for such
an age. He hears well, only began
to wear glasses about 10 years ago,
ran a hog down the other day in his
field and steps around without any
limp or stiffness and has no feeble
ness in speech, leading choir with
strong voice. He claims to be the
best preserved man of his age in the
South and so far as we know is well
entitled to the claim. He has al
ways practiced even habits, and his
preservation again illustrates the re-
markabie virility of the Irish race.
He has taught singing school at
Valleys and State Line in Greene
County,.

THE PREBYTEREAN MEETING.

The meeting at the Presby
churcn in Leakesville. which began
Thursday night of last week with
Rev. z. r.. Campbell of Hattiesburg
doing the preaching, closed Wednes-
day night of this week. We havn't
information as TO the exact number
voted into their church during this
meeting but it is something like
about dozen Ga very good count for
them considering that their people
have already been pretty well all
churched,) besides one little girl, a
member of Mrs. Walkers Sunbeam
class of the Baptist church, who
naturally expressed a desire to join
that denomination. It seems to have
been the general verdict that Bro.
Campbell preached with much
greater freeness tn s t i m e
than at any of the previous meetings
he has held IN our town. At times
he would grow a little facetious,
mixing the jokes along with the
good solid gospel slugs. He preach
J ed some sound Gospel and we feel
| that our town as a whole has been
helped by it. A broad and liberal
spirit characterized this meeting
throughout which is always refresh
| ing when a mixed audience denoml-
nationally is invited and expected to
encourage with their presence. The
river bridge being out of commission
undoubtedly subtracted some from
the usual attendance to Presbyter-
| ian meeting here. Bro. Campbell is
to assist Bro. Ferguson in meeting
at VernaI the Second Sunday in Au-
gust. The Herald would bespeak
/ for them q good attendance down
there, and we trust that lasting ben
eft may acrue 20 that community as
we feel it has this to one from their
efforts this way.
