DESCRIBED IN PRINT
In Saturday'k Atlanta Journal Kev.
Alex. W. Beaier has an article bubbling
over with ChriKtmaK good cheer,
describes two well known Thomefvillo
treet cliaractere as follows:
He was old and gray and helpless, and
black. Inetatnrehe was very small,
aud there was that aboat his face that
betokened a favored servant in the o'den
s of the south. You could tell it
by the einile that lit up his wrinkled
face when yoa dropped a nickel into the
little cap hanging aboat his neck. Theie
was a tiastfalness'iu the sightless eyes
that were upturned to . yon when he
thanked you for the charity that had
been given him. His children had all
drifted away from him aud he was de
pendent upon the charity of the world.
He had learned to find his way along
the streets that led to the humble cabin
where ho lived. 8ome friend generally
pat him upon the sidewalk aud with his
stiff he would push along tiie way
counting the corners he came to until
he reached bin homo.
One day I saw him coming. Lcould
hear his ttick thumping against the
fence as he walked. Directly he came
to the corner. He I6$t his way. He
wondered out to the middloof the broad
street and Could not find the fence agoir^
ThereTw stood, perplexed for a moment
and then, lie began to turn rounl aud
roond vainly reaching for the fence
which coold not bo found.
Not far away a Rroup of white cbib
dren were at play. Their merry laughter
floated fnto my study where I waiat
work. Suddenly 1 saw them standing
together in silence. They had seen the
old man and the trouble he was in. I
wondered what would bo the result. It
was only for a moment. A, little boy,
not moro than k flvo years old sped out
from the crowd, os fast, ns his littlplegs
could carry him, straight to the helpless
old man. I saw him reaoh out and
catch the stick, and turning, he led the
