Dempsey Clarke, many years ago, was sold as a slave on the' block, by the Sheriff, at the court house door iu Hawkinsville. Ho ran away from liis purchaser, took to the swamps, and for years lived as a runaway slave, but was captured with dogs and taken back to the plantation of his owner, when ho again ran away, and was at last sold while in tlie woods. He became satisfied with his new owner, and was a trusted slave afterward. It now transpires that this ex-slave becomes a land owner, a prosperous furiner, and liis name goes to future generations perpetuated and honored by liis race. Rev. John son, the teacher of the school for the past several years, has been called to the pastorate of the colored Baptist church at, Madison, Ga., and has ac cepted the call, and will leave for that place in a few days.
