OCTOGENARIANS' ANNUAL MEETING

IT WILL BE HELD AT THE SAVERY HOTEL THIS AFTERNOON AT BANQUET
COVERS ENTIRE STATE
---
In Polk County There are 169 Persons More Than Eighty Years Old
---
The Octogenarian Society of Iowa will hold its annual reunion and banquet this afternoon at the Savery Hotel.

It is the fifty-seventh anniversary of the first general election held in this state, on October 26th, 1846, and this occasion always is observed by the octogenarians.

It has been arranged to hold the annual meeting at 1:30 o'clock. The meeting will be followed by a banquet, which will probably be served at 1:30 also, and the business to be transacted will follow the discussion of the elaborate menu which is being prepared.

BARLOW GRANGER is the president of the society, and has been since its formation several years ago. Mr J L CRAWFORD has been acting as secretary pro tem. The octogenarians have no controversies as to who the officers shall be. They elect Mr Granger and his associates each annual meeting, just as if the constitution made it necessary.

Speeches are expected today from Mr GRANGER, JUDGE P N CASADY, ISAAC BRANDT, and many others. Mr Brandt has just completed a list of the octogenarians of Polk County, which will be interesting, not only to those of great age, but to the people of the state. The society, however, is a state organization, and is not local in its character. Mr Brandt also has prepared a list of juniors - people who are verging on the eighty year mark in this county. This record is one of the most valuable ever gathered in the west.

Following is the list of all those in Polk county who are in excess of eighty years of age, their present addresses, and their age in years - and including twenty-seven couples who are more than 80:
