The GREArEsT LIyINa CuRlosrrY
Passing by Masonic Hall yesterday
afternoon, we dropped in to visit Miss
Ann Eliza Leak. She is undoubtedly
one of the greatest living cnriosities, and
the dexterlty with which she uses her
feet is really wonderful. In her appear
ance there is nothing repnlsive. On the
contrary, she is not only intelligent, But
in every respect interesting. She
writes with her toes better than the
majority Of people write with their
hands. 1t is clear and legTble, and the
specimen before us would pass for good
writing. Certainly no one would for. q
moment suppose that it was executed
with a persons toes, and it would be
difficult to impress us with the belief did
we not witness the operation. Miss
Leak is something of a rhymster. Here
is what she peunea and placed in our
Eand with her toes
I'll write a little bit
For your especial benefit.
ANN 70. LEAK.
We also witnessed several other spe.
mems other toe work, in the shape Of
needle work, IN .he shape of embroide.
rY, hair bra,ds, and needle work. She
went through the operation OF crotchet
ing, embroidering knitting, sewing and
eating, all ofwhich was done with as.
tonisbing ease and even qnickness.
Miss Leakwas bonn without arms, and
was raised and educated near Griffin.
Ga, She is certainly one ofthe great.
est living curiosities, and is worthy Of
being visited by our citizens generally.
One large tidy, crotheted by Miss Leak
from Georgia cotton, spnn at Griffin
during the war; VIII be drawn
for as soon as the chances, thirty in
number, at 81 per chance are taken.
Miss Leak will hold her leveess for a
few days longer at Masonic Hall.
