It is remarked by the Albion Democrat that the lady who tapped her husband gently on the shoulder with a fan at a festival the other night and said: “Love, it is growing late: I think we had better go home,” is the same one who, after getting home, shook the rolling pin un der his nose and said: “You infamous old snaggle tooth scoundrel you. if ever you look at that mean, hateful, old, calicofaced, mackerel eyed thing that your eyes were riveted on to night. I’ll burst your cocoanut wide open." The Huntington county old settlers’ meeting had a personage, Miss Margaret Bail} 111 years old. and is probably the oldest person in the state. She has never been sick, never married, has good eyesight and hearing and has smoked a pipe since she was 11 years old.
