A. Creech, Four Oaks, and a host of
others. Sexton, Dr. James A., and
Barham, R. S., are still at the
Springs as monuments of health and
long life, and from their general ap
pearances I would judge that they
have not lived out half of their days

world as Bilkins seems to think
Sexton 200 and Barham 175 years.
We ask all who desire long life, good
health and good looks to come to
Fuquay. There is room at the Barhan
House for fifteen more.
