A CENTENARIAN CHURCHGOER.
The oldest churchgoer in Scotland is Mrs Millar, a lady of 102 years, who resides in the Mile-end district of Glasgow. She was born in Kenmore, a Perthshire village, in 1795, when Burns was still writing songs in Dumfries, when George HI. was King, and when Pitt, Fox, and Burko were stars in Parliament. During her long life she has never had a serious illness, and it is her proud boast that within her recollection she BM never missed a Sunday from Church. She has been a life-long abstainer, but for the last forty years she has been a devotee o? "My Lady Nicotine," clay pipes and "black twist" being her favourites. She looks fit, in the opinion of the correspondent of a Home paper, for a decade yet.
