EIGHTY-EIGHTY
Our good old friend, Mr. E. G. Poston, was in the city this week and Tuesday called at the Review office and moved up his figures another notch. Mr. Poston is 88 years of age yet he does a great deal of hard work and had walked eight miles Tuesday morning when he called at the Review office. He is a veteran of two wars, the Mexican and the Civil, and draws a pension as a Mexican War veteran. He has had a varied experience and has seen much of the world. He has raised eleven children, all of whom are living and doing well. He has promised some time to give the Review some interviews in regard to the events of his long life. The Review wishes him many years yet of hale, robust life.
