Like Tarzan “Aunt Alice” Goes Home and Leaves Her White Folks After 57 Years of Service With Nicholson Family Old Negress Passes on to Eternal Rest. To servo in one family for 57 years witn grown children never being able to remember a missed day is n record that sounds more like ante-bellum days than these modern times of many servants during the babyhood of one child.

Hut Tuesday night when Alice Thomas, colored, for all these many years everything but a member of the Nicholson family, nt the time of her death a servant in tho A. It. Nicholson home, died sho rounded out a life of faithful and unfailing service to a family that she loved above self. Tuesday sho was about her usual duties at the Nicholson household but during tho night her spirit passed on to Join the faithful In the world hereafter. The old time “auntie," a relic of the days of slavery, had nursed Messrs M. G., A. It., M-. E. and H. K. Nicholson and then In turn had nursed the children and grand children of these leading citizens of Ath ena and not one of these grand children can recall in their memory a single day that she ever missed from duty. During all tho 57 years of service In the family she had never miss ed ns much as two weeks frui * duty, it is said, and when she came to dio she simply passed out overnight. "Atfnt Alice” died at her homo on Uroad street and the funora! and burial will bo sometime Thursday. She had hundreds of white friends In Athens and many of theso will bo present to hear tho last rites pronounced over hor grave.
