News Item

An Aged Veteran

Messers Editors:  The perplexing question of the next President has finally been satisfactorily settled and while we cheerfully accord credit where credit is due, we claim for Bainbridge [Chenango Co. NY] a little extra credit in this matter.

Mr. Charles Lyon came to this town in 1805 and settled on the farm where he now resides, being then twenty-two years of age.  Since that time, he has voted at every presidential election and nearly every minor election, town meeting and all in the town of Bainbridge.  He has always been in sympathy with the Anti-Masonic, Whig, and Republican party, and last Fall went four miles to cast a vote for Hayes and Wheeler.

He has always been an active, energetic, hardworking man, and during the past Witner, when in his ninety-fourth year, has cut his own wood, built his own fires, and has the sole charge of four head of cattle (not calves) and can see to read ordinary print without glasses.

The uncommon "smartness" is accounted from the fact of his constant exercise, a good constitution and the soundness of his political principles.  Who'll beat Uncle Charles?  J.W.S.
