IT’S TWINS;’ 'TRIPLETS HERE'

Twin Brothers Exchange Congratulations on Additions to Respective Families. Fitzgerald, Ga. —“Hello, Eli!” called Eli Vickers’ brother over the ’phone. “It’s twins.” “Shucks,” replied Eli, “we have triplets at our house, one boy and two girls.” . These two men live in Coffee county and are twin brothers, with twenty more brothers and sisters, children of “Old Jack Vickers,” of the same county, who was married twice and had eleven children by each wife. Eli and his brother were children of the first marriage. Although there are other twins in the Vickers family, these are the first in the families of these brothers, but not the first children.
