STAYS AT HOME

Editor Herald: LIN performing my
duties as a deputy sheriff in this
county, have run across good many
odd things. But ran across very
remarkable case recently in the per
son of Mrs. Cinda Talent, an inteli-
gent old lady in the lower end of this
county, who is SO years old and never
been farther away from home than
5 miles never been in town, and
never saw train. She is native
of White county, but moved just a.
cross the line into Putnam county
to where she now lives, Il n
not more than miles from her birth
place. She can read newspaper
without glasses. Thinking it might
be of interest to the Herald readers
thought would just send it in to
this newsy little paper and see If any
one could beat that record on stay
ing at home.
Best wishes to the Herald and it's
many readers. Frank Massa.
