TWO OLD-TIME DARKIES
"Were Never ( barged " ith Any ( rime
And Never Owned a Hull.
Adam Allen, a respectable col¬
ored citizen of this community,
left Tuesday for Stephensvil le,
Wilkinson countv, where he goes
to visit his father, Tony Stanley,
who Adam says is 1 OR years of ago.
Adam himself is 74 years of age,
and says he has never bought but
15 cent's worth of amuuition in
his life, and that he nor his fa
ther never owned a gun or pistol
of any kind. When the emanci¬
pation proclamation was issued
Tony Stanley belonged to the
Stanley’s, while his son belonged
to the Allens and each took tlie
name of their masters after the
war.
Adam says that he nor his fa
flier have ever been charged
any offense before any court, arid
that they have always been
ed well by the white
whom they have large numbers
of faithful friends.
Adam and his father are among
that noble type of the Southern
m*grn who remained at home du
Ting the civil war and stood guard
between tile families of tlieir
white masters and danger, and it
is to be regretted that this faith
fill type of the African race seems
to be fast passing away. Adam
says lie was raised near Rome and
went to Cherokee in 1889, at the
age of 11 years, and assisted in
destrovini? 3 ° the Indian huts "
A Long Riled Family.
In Rutland district, Bibbcomf
ty, Via., were rai.sed a family ot
McArthurs. The five oldest of
this family are till living unless
some died this year, and areas

is Mr. John McArthur, living in
Wilkinson county, and is about
seventy one years old. The oldest
of the five is *J)r. D. T. McArthur,
living al|the old homestead,and is

three range between these ages,
and are Samuel McArthur, of

Ryder, mother of Mrs. W. T. Mc¬
Arthur.
If any of your readers can beat
this longevity in one family, they
are invited to t he front.
Our uncle John McArthur, in
raising this family in the long
ago, always stilled up his fruits
mto brandy and , from . one year
into the other a “decanter ot
good I,randy nil," »et Hie<ml.-l.oard,
frootn nml from then until
now they In,vo drank whiskey
whenever they desired,and In ever
knew or heard of one of them be
ing drunk. Moreover the bovs
are all Hardshel Baptist. Should
this not go on record?
