There is young colored woman now
living at this place who has a strange
history if the story told by herself and
friends is true. She is called Maggie
Adams, and is, apparently about II years
of age. Until recently, some time last
fall, we believe, she IA, lived with fam
lily named Allen, in the south part Of
this county, who came, it is said from
Missouri to this State. During all the
years since the war she has been with
this family in a state of slavery, receiving
nothing for her work, being compelled to
do washing, etc, for various families,
allowed No books or opportunity of learn
ing, and kept in ignorance Of the fact
that she was no longer a slave. She was
kept 50 jeaiously guarded that she knew
nothing whatever of the abolition of
slavery, and was only enlightened and
her release procured by young colored
man who somehow learned the facts, and
went to work to have her set at liberty.
