elope with him.Uncle Jesse Eggers, aged 92 years, who lives west of New Maysville, Putnam County, has just made his annual visit to Danville, on horseback. For years it has been his custom to make the trip in this manner, and no matter what comes up to disarrange his plans he invariably succeeds in carrying out this part of the program. The aged man is amply able to ride in as good buggy as could be made, or even make the trip in his own automobile, should he so desire, but he insists on saddling his trusty horse and making the journey of thirty miles on the animal's back. He has an easy-going horse and a saddle that has been in service many years. For one of his age the trip is regarded as remarkable, but Mr. Eggers says that he thoroughly enjoys the exercise and that after he gets home he feels as spry as a two-vear-old.
