TWO OLD TIMERS.

Thursday morning Uncle David Nowels came down town and cast his vote, and after discharging this 4uty of the noble citizen that he is, he sat down in front of J. W. Williams’ furniture store. Hfe turned his 88th year last* Tuesday, and has lived in this county longer probably than any other person now living or dead. He had been Beated a short time when one of his old neighbors came along, Uncle John M. Gwin, who is in his having been born in Wayne county, Ind., Aug. 18, 1818, but two years after the great state of Indiana was organized. They were sitting talking it over, talking over the times when they were spry and nimble, and could see a deer a half mile without difficulty. And after this talk had ended they each went his way as if it was an every day occurrence to see two men of this great age conversing together.
