Portland, Ind., Dec 11.- Jay county is a comparatively young county and few of its citizens have been residents for sixty-five years.  Isaac Davis goes that period just one year better, he having lived here sixty-six years.  He is past 70 years of age, was born in Washington county, Ohio, and cast his first vote for John C. Fremont for president.  Mrs. Davis, to whom he was married the year he cast his first vote, was formerly Miss Mahala Campbell.  The Davis family is thoroughly Rooseveltian, both in size and political sympathies, and the accompanying picture includes the likeness of every member.
