Uncle Job English Reaches Age of Eighty-Pour.

Brook Reporter. '■ j Uncle Job English reached the' ! age of eighty-four on Saturday last, and to all appearances he is as hale and hearty as he Was ten years ago. , He came to Newton county in 1862 and has resided here ever since, coming here from Jasper county, where he had lived since 1859. When asked as to the most pleasant thing to remember in his life he responded that it was that in all that time he had never sued any man nor had ever been sued but once in his life. He owns land in Newton, Jasper and Miami counties, all of , which has been earned by the joint efforts of himself and wife. Uncle I Job in the early days was a justice ; of the peace in Yackson township ! and administered the law to his | friends and neighbors as suited the times and the statutes. He can . tell many interesting happenings of the early days and enjoys life apparently as much as he did thirty ' years ago. A man with his jovial disposition and good health should live to round out the century mark and we hope that he will.
