Remarkably well preserved,
and IN the midst of more than
Two hundred adniring friends
and relatives, Randolph Cam
nady, Martha Gap, Dickinson
county, Virginia, celebrated his
hundreth birthday on December
~, 1927.
In Patrick county, Mr.. Can
naday was born on December
II, 1927, one of the twenty four
sons end daughters to bless the
union of William Cannaday and
Patsy Wright. His material
grandfather came to Rocking
ham county, N. c., from Ireland
while his paternal grandfather
Pleasant Cannaday, Who mar
ried a Miss Edwards, lived in
Buckingham county, some one
hundred miles from Lynchburg.
1t has been over twenty five
years since Mr.. Cannaday saw
either of his brothers or sisters,
all of whom are dead now. He
hardly remembers some of the
oldest brothers and sisters who
married young and migrated to
many states for homes. His two
Youngest sister, Delilah and Mar
-tha, who married MORNINGS
and settled in Patrick and Floyd
counties, had sixteen children
each he states.
Progeny Numerous

/. Bearing his eighty-five' pounds
with steadiness, and making
only slight use Of his cane, Mr..
Cannady went into the yard
after lunch to pose for several
pictures. Including those to face
the kodaks with Mr.. Cannady
was his oldest guest, John T.
Edwards, IS, Of Sand Lick.
Asserting that he had never
turned away any traveller, or
charged for his hospitality, Mr..
Cannady opined that society's
troubles are due chiefly to our
greed for money and the pleas
ure money buys quoting again
his answer from the Bible:
"The love of money is the root
Of oil evil

unity. The other daughter, Mrs
A bert Owens, lives in Buchan-
an county at prater. Many OF
Mr.. Cannaday's two hundred
thirty great grandchildren, and
sixty great great grandchildren
were also present.
Receiving his many guests,
from al parts of the county,
Mr.. Cannaday exhibited keen
interest in each one, although
his failing eyesight hindered
him in quick recognition of tho
Sc he knew. Only by loud speak
ing could MS quesoIoneers MAKE
him understand their inquiries,
which we're then definitely an
swered in remarkable clear,
pure English, considering that
he had no schooling and cannot
read or write. Aided by a keen
memory of events covering
more than eighty years, he pre-
fers to discuss "reminiscences OF
lis early life and the Civil War
days, during which he served
four years in Company D, 51st
Virginia Regiment. At Fort
Donaldson and Bowling Green
and in other engagements he
had his part.
'The Will of God''
He assigns the same reason
for his long life as for his pres
ervation in the war activities of
his young manhood-"the will
of Cod.
After lifting his cup of coffee,
without the slightest sign of
nervousness, to complete
hearty lunch, Mr.. Cannady be-
gan to comment on the scrip
lures, always quoting his Bible
text in support. The conflict of
opinions as to the correct Gospel
version or Interpretation, re-
sulting in hundreds of denomi-
nations, he would reduce to
"The Gospel is the power of God
unto Salvation" Stating that
God, and not man, can only save
and preserve, and that our sor-
rows result solely from our re-
fusal to obey God, the religious
philosophy of Dickenson's first
Icentenarian is: Fear God and
and keep His commandments,
for this is the whole duty of

new home in 1867.
He Voted for Taylor

His continued interest in govern
ment was attested in the recent
elections, when he rode on horse

 of Marine headquarters.
 This does not mean" says A
 statement from Marine headouar-
 ters, that 1t is impossible for
 the outlaws to make any further
 demonstration or to push rapid
 raid through the northern out posts stretched over an area gretter than the State of NIassa
 chusetts. It does mean that the disposition of troops and lines of information are such that the outlaws can neither accomplish any results of major importance nor prevent the successful hold ing of the election in November.
 The remnants of the rebel forces are split into four small groups, with Sandlno himself lowering near the border in the iungles Of the northern area. if not actually in Honduras. With in radius of perhaps 75 miles southeast, south, and southwest. respectively. are the three other groups in minor numbers and in hiding through the jungle along the river beds. These groups are separated from each other by numerous small Marine detach ments and lack of contacts re- gently indicates that these rebel groups have no desire for an en- gagement, according to Marine 1 opinion.
 Sandino keeps himself clear of | possible disaster by directing his | forces from a distance. It is said | the nearest he has ever been known to approach the fight ting | line was at Ocotal in July, 1927, | when the rebels attacked a small | force of Marines and Guardia | Nacional with disastrous results 10 their forces and the loss of | ,nly enc Marine killed and half | ! dozen Guardia wounded.

 Issues the Same
 The designated issues in the farm States, as in the beginning Prohibition, farm relief, and re l g on remain conspicuous among the issues which spell binders are arguing about. How ever. the Republicans are bearing down heavily on the tariff while the Democrats are talking oil. and attacking Secretary Work S renewal of the Salt Creek con- tract the Harry F. Sinclair in- terests recently made.
 The water power question has shculdered it's way into promin- ence. At New York Hoover de- clared that the Democratic pro- posals on farm relief, Prohibition and water power savored of state Socialism, Gov. Smith replied to Hoover at Boston. He said that Hoover was merely echoing the charge of Socialism raised by the Power Trust and proved that the position of the Republican Party is that of a reactionary party standing in the ways of progress.

Spokane. WASH, Oct. is. ~
School children here are dancing

Miss Edith c. Haight. for some

dren can learn to appreciate the
rhythm of poetry and its aesthetic
values while they are dancing for
exercise.
Their minds become aware Of
dithyrambs, iambic pentametera
and the symbolism and worth Of
poetry, while their bodies are be-
