In SXCemory of j4unt Susan Walker. As the la*t rays of the sunsets radiant glow disappeared behind the western horizon on April 2tth, the gentle spirit of aunt Susan Wal ker looked its tether and took its flight to the great beyond. fn t!»e <teith of this good old wo man, the community feels a genu ine an i sincere Itereavemeiit, for she was indeed a frien I to every one and sfH-nt her life in her humble way relieving the sick and distress ed an d smoothing the paths of those in trouble. VVe can contemplate her life with pleasure and profit. Her simple child-like faith, molest, unpreten tious life and unselfish devotion to humanity, won for her a place in the hearts of those of her generation and an entrance into eternal rest aid peace. She represented the finest type of the simple hearted, true and faithful ante helium mam mies, who are too rapidly passing into history a d will soon only l>e known in tradition and song. Only the real Southern man “to the manor born” can appreciate the patience, gentleness and loyalty of those good old mammies who were never known to betray their trusts. I am assured, l but express the sentiment of every one in our com munity, when I extend to the hus band, Old Man Joe Walker, our tendcrest sympathies. He has passed the 7 tth, mile post and his face, too, is turned to the setting sum, hut we wish for his continuance with us many days. Hi> life and example, like his good wife’s has been worth much to his race. During the troublesome times, im mediately after the war, he publicly announ-ed (when importuned by some of his race to run for the legis lature) “1 do not know anything about government affairs The white people of this country have always been kind and good to me. 1 will vote as they vote, and trust them until I die.” He lias never voted anything but a democratic and pro hibition ticket. With the exception of'one or two years after the negroes were enfran chised they have taken very little interest in politics in Walker’s dis trict and then they invariably voted with the white people. 1 cannot recall a -murder trial from this district in forty years nor a dozen felony eases in this time. There has never been the slightest race trouble, though it is one of the most populous negro districts in the country. lam sure their financial condition equals any section of the county or perhaps the state. We believe this very satisfactory race condition has been due largely to this old man and several good colored men in the district. We have penned the above linesas a just tribute to two old colored people. One has passed over the river and the other lingers hard by. It is our earnest desire to let the old man know that his life, on right lines, has been appreciated by his people, which will give him comfort in his lonliness and nerve him to continue his work until lie too, will he claim ed by the reaper.
