peasant one.
Thefe jcar<^ are usually taken
ftome by the voter to his family,
Jpftepe they are as a rule pre*
terved, and in nudifefcous iu
lUnoes are effective in Ateuring
votes that would be otherwise
lost to the candidate. The nse

they gottejft oat by the donor
Simply to .spread abroad the
counterfeit of his pretty face.
They serve the douDte purpose
of keeping the 'candidate daily
before thfc eyes of tkose whom
he wishett to reach, attl of mak
ing it Apparent that he wants
the Job he aspires to, or bf
would not go to bo muflh trouble,
and expense in seeking for It.
Our feeling of respect for that
class of candidate is much lugh"
er than for one of thtse parsi
monious fellows who would skija
flea for its hide atid tallow,
and who go around telling peo
ple that he is running for offifee
merely because his friends want

ThA amhtl raaghm of fee rel
atives and friends of lira. H. T.
Myers, celebrating her 88ml
birthday, was held at the old
home on the 21st ,ult.
Eafiy in the morning Jbe far
away1 rumble of many wheels
could be heard fend soon you
j could see buggies loaded with
old and young, and large trunks.
boxed and baskets filled with the
best qatables the country affored
comlig down the avenue to Join
in one large family and spend
tbe most delightful day of the
year, not of the whole life in
innocent gossip aud humorous
jokes; with the exchange of
bright ideas on &he different call
ings of life.
The relatives and friends of
Mrs. >Iyers were delighted to
find Her able to Join them in the
Sleashres of the day, weighted
own with the burden of years,
bad health and family cares as
she is. It will be remembered
that sfrce the death of Mr. C. U.
Myers' wife that she has been
the oniy housekeeper that he has
had, tnd it is almost beyond
comprehension how she has ta
ken charge of the household af
fairs 'with only the as&stance of
men folks, and kept things in
good order as in years gone by.
The young ladies of today could
be taught a lesson of life in re
ality through her example.
After the usual greetings of
friends and relatives who per
haps had not met since the pre
vious reunioh and some time
spfcnt in talking, Captain B. M.
Poarce's voice was heard above
this merry chatter of itfcuiy voic*s
and much laughter, ordering .All
who had dinner to bring it to the
table, and immediately every
one took on a different 'look for
they had not realized it was time
for dinner?and such a dianer.
To appreciate it was to see and
partake of it, for it would tempt
the appetite of a dyspeptic and
was good ehougli for a King.
Everything tdot country or
towii could have or wish for,
could be found on the 50 or 60
foot table, after the ladies were
thrdugh laying it out.
After tile inner man was re
freshed to full satisfaction,
enough was left fdr liaif as many
more.
The young folks dispersed to
the buggies and various nooks
t j revel in euch others smiles,
and to make and break promises
as all young folks have done
since time has been.
Several candidates were pres
ent,- but none of tliena seemed
anxious to get votes or make
speebhes, as they were too busy
enjoying themgelvsA ' in other
way
It faay bo interesting to some
to kilbw th& number of Mrs. My-1
ers' descndants aud to read a
sketch of the family, although
we are not able to gi ve it as cor
rectly as it should be.
Henrietta Tamar McCoy was
born July 21st/ 1^22, and was
married to Washington Myers
in 1843. Their home was blessed
with 11 children, 4 boys and 4
girls which reached adult life,
and three infants died. Her
husband died in 1861, leaviug
her with no one to manage the
farm as the oldest boy was but
10 years old, but through a kind
providence she reared them all
to manhood and womanhood,
and sent them out to homes of
their own fully conscious of the
duties of life and of the value of
a kind and true, yet firm mother.
From those 8 children the num
ber has increased to almost a hun
dred. There are now living 50
grandchildren and 17 great
grandchildren, with 11 grand
children and 2 great grandchil
dren dead, which mdkes a total
of 80. Two of her sons, B. J
and J. W. Myers, died a fc*w
yeard ago. The remaining six,
four girls and tto'o boys are yet
snared to meet with us and were
ail present this year.
Mrs. Myers deserves high
est praise and lasting honor for
so successfully filling the high
est place that only a true woman
ctm fill. May she live td enjoy
many more sYich reunions and
may others also learn' from her
life that after all life is worth
liviVig. This is the earnest wish
of all.
