Has Nearly Reached the Century Mark.

Monticello Journal: —The oldest person in Jasper county lives in Remington. Her name is Grandmother Wilkinson and if she lives until, the middle of next month she will be 100 years old. She is in good health and is as active as a much younger person. She attended Fountain Park last Sunday and seemed to enjoy herself immensely. She is somewhat childish, which would naturally be expected of one her age.
