Mr. Alexander Perkins of Monroe County is ninety-two years old. He has always borne a reputation for being a first-class citizen. Although four score and ten his memory is clear and he is as active as many men at fifty, and looks as young as his son, Lee Perkins of the same County. He was a little hurt last Saturday when our Tom Burney offered to assist him in his buggy. He needed no assistance. - Macon Telegraph Mr. Perkins is only one of Monroe County's specimens of longevity. Note: v. MARY JANE PONDER14, b. 183215; m.
