A COl0red Couple Reunited After a
SeDaratlOn OF Forty Years

That there are rOmanceS as touch
ing IN negro life as were ever told IS
proved says Rome. Ca. paper, by
the story of q colored couple named
Uncle Levi and Aunt Aggie, who
lived in Cedartown valley. The story
is: In 1849 Levi belonged to Mr..
Sparks, who then resided in Morgan
County. In the same county resided
DR.. E. E. Jones. Among Dr. Jones
slaves was q fine looking mulatto girl,
whose smile was courted by every
young male slave in the community.
She was named Aggie. Livi aud
Aggie met often at corn shucking
frOlicS. They we're partners Ii dance
and play, and nearly every Saturday
night he would obtain pass to visit
her. They were married in 1913, and
. I was so happy when went away
every Saturday night TO see my
young WIFE," said Uncle Levi They
had only been married a year when
Mr.. Sparks moved from Morgan to
Polk County. carrying the broken
hearted husband with them. After
five or six years of separation, believ-
ing they would never see each other,
Levi married one OF his masters wom-
en-. But, boss, I never loved her
like Aggie, was the old mans excla-
nation. Aggie, too, married, and
both raised large families. Neither
knew whether the other was living.
At last came the downfall of the Con-
federacy and freedom of the slaves.
Upon inqUiry Uncle Levi found that
his old love was still living and
married. He went nobly to work for
his second wife. Ten years ago Aunt
Aggie's husband died and left her
without q provider News reached
Uncle Levi, and ne sent word to his
old love to come and live with him
and his wife. This Aunt Aggie re-
fused to do. Years flew fast, and the
two grew old Two years ago Uncle
Lewis wife died, and after mourning
q few months he sent for Aunt Aggie
She came, and after a separation Of
forty years they were united. Aunt
Aggie is now sixty and Uncle Levi is
seventy.

Bruin as q Fisherman.

[ came suddenly upon a very large
bear in swamp, lying upon a large
hollow log across a brook fishing,
and he was so much interested in his
sport that he did not notice me until
J had approached very near to him,
so I could see exactly how he baitad
his hook and played his fish. He
fished in this wise: There was a large
hole through the log on which he Iay,
and he thrust his forearm through
the hole and held his open paw In
the water, and waited for the fish to
gather around and into it, and, when
full, he clutched his fist and brought
up handful Of fish, and sat and ate
them with great gusto; then down
with the paw again, and so on. The
brook was fairly alive with little trout,
and red-sided suckers and some black
suckers, so the old fellow let himself
out on the fishes. He did not eat
their heads. There was quite pile
of them on the log. I suppose the oil
IN his paw attracted the fish, and
baited them better even than a fiy-
hook, and the toenails were his hooks.
and sharp ones, too. and once grabb-
edss the fish were sure to stay

kicker since he was 8 years of age,
but it was not until recently that he
became known as the champion stand

At a National exhibition of kickers
from all parts of the country, held at
the city of Boston on Oct. 81, 1883, at
which there were sixty-fivc contest

a day OR two ago a report was whis-
pered along the docks that Jug con-
tanning four gallons of brandy had
slipped off the wharf at the foot of
First street, and was at the bottom of
the river. Within an hour after the
information had reached the first pair
Of ears q man came sauntering down
upon the dock with sort of grapnel
attached to g clothes line, and as he
caught sight Of the owner of the ware
house he said.
Being that the ice is all out, I'd
like to grapEle for that gold watch lost
here last fall"
He was told to go ahead with all bis
might, but he had scarcely madeready
when a second man arrived. He had
an iron hook fastened to stout cord,
and he promptly explained:
Being as I had nothing to do to-
day I thought Id try and hook up one
o them grindstones that tumbled in
here last fall"
The tive were working away with
their lines when third man putin an
appearance. He seemed considerably
surprised to find anyone ahead Of him,
but as he got his grapnel ready he
calmly observed to the pair:
I've dreamed three nights running
that there was brass kettle down
here, and thought if / could hook it
up aBd sell it for 81 I'd be so much
ahead"
1t wasn't over a quarter of an hour
before a fourth man arrived. He had
an iron rake attached to long pole,
and as he found the trio at work he
sung out:
well, now, but if any Of you fell
lers find the shot gun J. lost here last
summer I'll set up the drinks"
The fifth man came down to look
for a coal shovel.
The sixth man had just found time
to drag for the body of his nephew,
supposed to have been in the river two
months
The seventh came down, saw the six
at work, and turning to the warehouse
man he groWled:
Always the way! Last night I
dreamed Of fishing up S26 cook stove
from the bottom here, and I come
down to find a whole gang ahead of
me. Hang it! an honest hard work
ing man has no show whatever In this
town.
