Tales and Gossip

Uncle Tommie Gibson of Talbotton, is the liveliest man of his age in the 
county.  He will be 81 years of age on the 6th of March.  He does not use 
eyeglasses nor seldom wears an overcoat.  Since his boyhood he has been going 
to bed early and rising at four.  And for nearly two-thirds of a century he has 
been imitating the crow of a rooster – but now in his old age it 
takes “something strong and good” to make him even crow as loud as a bantam 
cock.  It will be thus.  The weight of years will bend the back and cause 
youthful buoyancy to depart.  But it is pleasing to meet an aged person who is 
good humored and hopeful even if he or she is nearing the land of shadows.
