One Hundred and Three Years Old.


Mrs. Lorinda Nifong, mention of
whom was made in this paper Wed
nesday, was one hundred and three
years old Thursday, Feb. s. She is
the oldest person in the county, and
perhaps in the northern part of the
state. She was born in Delaware
county, Ohio, on Feb. s, 1909, being
the daughter of William and Sally
Watson, and her mothers father,
Peire G. White, is said to have been
the first white child born in
America, he being born on the May
flower while it lay at anchor off the
coast. Her father was a soldier of
the war of 1872.
When Lorinda was thirty-six
years old she was married to John
Nifong, and in 1913 thel located in
Marshall county, five miles east of
Plymouth, on the farm where her
son James now lives. and where she
is staying at present.
She has three children, Mrs.
Martha L. Weissert. three miles
west of Bourbon, James Nifong, five
miles east where she is living, and
Joel Nifong north of town. She al
so has sixteen grand children and
thirty-two great grandchildren.
One hundred and three years is a
long time when we count the rise of
invention and industries that have
come in that length of time. To get
clear light on this at a glance we
have but to recall that Abraham
Lincoln was born Feb. II, 1909,
four days after Grandma Nifong
was, and when we note the events
of the life of our martyred Presi-
dent, and then call to mind what has
been achieved since his death, We
get little idea of the magnitude of
the list of happenings that this life
compasses.
Mrs. Nifong has been a remark
able woman in that she has never
had much of any sickness, and for
the last fifty years has not required
the services of a physician. She Is
getting blind now, but can still dis
tinguish light from darkness, but
her hearing is fair, and her memory
good. She can tell many events of
her early life, as indeed most old
people can tell of early days better
than Of later times.
On her birthday her friends call
to see her, and showers of post
cards are sent her by others. She
ENJOYS hearing of the absent ones
and has a keen relish for the news
that concerns those she knows. She
is Just living on borrowed time, and
though her relatives and friends
wish her to remain with them for
wears to come, yet all can realize
that the end of her days may come
soon. With others we trust she Will
be spared for another year, and
should she be called ere that time
may she be spared from continued
time of suffering. Her life has seer
much of turmoil and strife, and
hardships of pioneer life were
familiar to her, but We would wish
for her a quiet ending, amid peace
full loving friends, who tenderly
care for her every desire so Ions
as she shall live. We send greeting
to Grandma Nifong that she has
passed another milestone of tht
journey of her long and useful life

A short time before seven clock
Friday morning the fire alarm sound
ed, calling the department to a
blaze in the house, occupied by
Nathan Stout on Pearl street, south
Plymouth. The building was own
ed by George Lemler, who lives just
at the limits Of the city.
The fire started in. the kitchen
part of the house, probably from q
defective flue, as when discovered 1t
was bursting from the roof. When
the fire department arrived, it was
found that the .hydrants on that
street were useless. from the depth
of. the frost in the ground. 1t was
necessary to go to Michigan street
with the hose, and when water was
turned on from there, the hose froze
up, and by that time the house was
totally destroyed. .~
Fortunately. there was no wind,
and roofs of adjacent dwellings were
covered with snow, and no other
buildings caught fire. Much Of the
furniture had been taken out from
the front part of the house, and this
was taken to a house near by that
happened to be vacant. ...s,
The burned building was a two
story structure, and it is said there
was no insurance on. either building
or household goods. IF this is true,
the loss will be quite heavy on the
owners of each.

CHlLD'S FACE ALL RED SPOTS

632 N. 5th St.. Terre Haute, Ind
my little nephew, a boy of four
years, had breaking out on his face.
1t was little red spots at first, then
he would rub and scratch and water
blisters would form, and wherever the
water would run another would come
until his face was covered with them.
He would cry and fret. His mother
got some medicine, but it did not do
any good. He would scream and cry
and say it hurt. We hardly knew him,
his little face was all red spots and
blisters. So I begged him to let me
put some Cuticura Ointment on them.
The next morning / made strong
soap suds with Cuticura Soap and
washed his face in the warm suds
The little blisters burst by pressing
the cloth on them. After I had his
face washed, put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on and in a short time his little
face was all red and dry. ! kept using
the Cuticura Soap and putting on the
Cuticura Ointment and his face got as
well and it did not leave a scar. He
was entirely cured in about one week

TO JUDGE A PITCHER
Only Way Is to See Him in 40
ton, Says Mcclure.
rwIrler May Have Everything In
Practice, only to "6iow" When
the Real Test comes--Fight
ing Spirit is What Counts.

"The only way to tell anything abou,
a pitcher Is to see him PITCH" said
Jim MCGUIRE in response to Ques-
ton as to what he thought of some
Of the youngsters of the Tiger squad.
These boys have all the actions Of
pitchers SO far as any one can see
from the practice stunts, but until they
have been under fire decline to pass
final judgment on them.
ITO my mind the ideal athlete is
the one who Is best when the neces-
sity for being strong is greatest. It's
that old fighting spirit that counts.
There are lots of fellows who are
wonders in practice, no matter what
line of sport they may be engaged in.
But parlor boxers seldom are fighters,
and many fine warm-up pitchers fall
down terribly when they come to face
the music in regular game.
Many time / have warmed up
men who had everything that l ever
have seen a pitcher display. Speed.
curves, control and everything else
would be theirs and l would feel con-
fdent that they would be able to win
that day If we got them couple of
runs. Then these fellows would go
put to the center of the diamond and
show me about half Of what they
had displayed in warming up prac-
fice.
1T isn't always lack of gameness
that accounts for a pitcher's failure
to do as well in a game as in practice.
Some of the men are so anxious to
win that they work themselves into
stew. There are plenty Of fellows
who are game yet can't do their best
when they want to. 1t seems to be
sort of a baseball instinct that en-.
ables the great pitcher to rise to the
emergency. He has that fighting spirit,
but at the same time keeps his head
cool.
The youngsters of the Detroit
squad might pitch great ball when
handing them up to the batters in
practice with nothing depending on
the outcome of the sluggers' efforts
and yet fall down against even a
mediocre club in a regular game /
have seen it repeatedly happen that
a twirler would make the batsmen of
a strong American league club look
badly when he was pitching to them
in practice and then let some class Z
or college nine hammer him all over
the place."

to complain that America was very un-

tured on this disparagement once too
often, for in the course of his travels
