Remarkable Woman

For the first time in many years,
Mrs. E. F. Yeargan, widow of DR..
Yeargan, neglected her household du-
ties long enough to come to town Fri
day. Mrs. Yeargan is a remarkable
woman in several respects. She is 81
years of age and has done all the cook
ing for family of six for more than
sixty years, and she is yet doing it.
She has not had hired woman or girl
in her kitchen since the Civil War: she
has not had a single day of illness dur
ing that time and is now in perfect
health. Her vision is as good as that
of woman of forty years of age. She
is a great reader and keeps near her
Sc in her room box in which she
drops clippings from newspapers that
strike her fancy, and being highly
educated woman, her selection would
be not only interesting but valuable.
She has been saving them for more
than half century and, of course now
has large number of them.
Mrs. Yeargan has lived her eighty
one years within quarter of mile Of
where she was born, in the Eleventh
Civil District of Rutherford county.
Her children are among the most pros
porous of the county and highly respect
ed. Mrs. Yeargan says that she has
never seen servant who could get a |
meal for six healthy and robust men
as she can, and she is sure that no one
can keep her kitchen vessels, tables
and cooking utensils as clean and bright
as she can, therefore her refusal to
have hired cook. Although it has
been sixty-five years since she last
looked at her Greek grammar, she is
just as proficient in it as she was when
she stopped studying it to marry DR.,
Yeargan, then young. physician
Nashville Banner.
Mrs. Yeargan lives near Murfrees-
boro, the above item having been sent !
in from that town. She is the mother
of Prof. S. B. Yeargen of Cookeville.

GIRL SCOUTS
HERE To CAMP
AND HIKE TOO

Miss Anna Haire, daughter Of ".
c. Haire, a we'll known ranchman
east of the city, expects to effect in
the next two weeks an organization
of the Camp Fire Girls" which is
modelled on the lines of the Boy
Scout movement except that its mem
bership is confined to girls only.
The first patrol or guard will be
composed of the members of Miss
Haire's Sunday school class in the
congregational church here.
The work will be largely outdoors,
the girls taking hikes learn camp
life and the athletic events which
are fitted to the sex They will also
get practical courses in sewing,
cooking, general domestic science and
household economy. II is designed
particularly to fit girls for wOmanly
work in the highest degree as well
as elevating the moral and spiritual
side of the girls lives.
ditiOnal literature arrives from the
headquarters of the movement In
New York the organization will be
perfected. II is also anticipated that
many other subordinate camps WIZ
be formed so that the idea will be-
come as popular as the Boy Scouts.
The girls branch, unlike that Of
the boys, does not meet with the op-

tions OF organized labor. 1t is by no
