you most hearty thanks for your generos

thoroughly appreciated, coming, as it did,
from your worthy association and from
the locality with which we of the Four

one for the soldiers In the Philippines.

her lOSth birthday. Time haB dealt gently with her, and there are still traces of these
charms which 00 years zgo made her one cf the belles of Eastern Tennessee, famous for its

with whom, she makes her home at Hilteboro where many years ago she conducted the first
hotel. Twice married, she has hut one child living, her daughter, and about 40 grand and
great-grandchildren. Of her great age there can be no question. Hon. W. H. H". Myers, a
pioneer of 'G2, remembers har when she came to this Coast, nearly half a century ago, as
being then an old lady. Mrs. Wood is still in possession of all her faculties, and keenly
alive to everything going on around her; moves freely about the house and yard, and has
her sight and hearing little more impaired, than Is common with people -Hi years younger. Hr
health is as good as that of the average person of three score and ten, and there seems every
prospect that she will see another year, so that her Ufa will have extended into three cen
turies. Remembering the death of George Washington, she has also seen the centennial of that
event, and observed the changes tshleh hava- filled the country's history during that Interval.
A life-long Democrat, she has ever been a, strong- partisan, and keeps her Interest in present

There is evidence in Salem today that
compromises have been effected m all four

have contended for unpledged delegations
have won. and that McBride must take his

shall oomo to name a Legislative ticket.
It probably means, also, that there will
bo many McBride men in the convention.
The delay in the contest dops not promise

convention.

"It is with pleasure that I write and tell you what your
medicine has done for me. I had been doctoring for two
years and no medicine ever did me so much good as yours. I
tried three doctors, and the last one said nothing but an opera
tion would help me. My trouble was profuse flowing; some
times I would think I would flow to death. I was so weak that
the least work would tire me. Reading of so many being
cured by your medicine, I made up my mind to write to you
for advice, and I am so glad that I did. I took Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, and followed your directions,
and am now well and strong. I shall recommend your
medicine to all, for it saved my life." fliss A. P., Box 21,
