The First Freed Slave of America

Correspondence Of Washington Post
Not very far from Tokay, on the
Cape Fear river, is the site OF an 9th
er old southern homestead, Owenhill,
in whose family graveyard is the
tombstone of the FIRST slave to whom
aa American master voluntarily gave
his freedom. This slave was Omereh,
an Arabian prince of the Foulah
tribe, who was taken captive by a
victorious Negro tribe and sold az g
prisoner OF war to siaver Oh the
coast OF Guinea. Omereh ran awar
iTom his fret master, a South Carroll
M cotton planter, and was caught and
put In the Fayetteville Jail to await
the arrival Of his owner. In the mean
time Gov. Owen, of Owenhill, heard
Of the erect, handsome slave, who had
written all over the walls of bis cell
III unknown characters. His curios
lty was excited. He went to the Jail
saw Omereh, knew at once that be
was not q negro, and surmised from
bis bearing that he was Person OF
some dignity in his own country
When the cotton planter came to
claim his property, he readily accept
ed Gov. Ovens check for the full
value OF the slave he could neither
understand nor manage. Omereh was
taken to Owenhill, was taught to
speak English, his strange story was
soid to his master, and he was con-
verted from his Mohammedanism.
Gov. Owen offered him his freedom,
and he lived in comfort at Owenhill
until he died at an advanced age, and
was buried as a member of the family
in the family ground. His grave is
marked by slab of marble.

-Church-going in the United States
Is not diminishing, it is increasing-in
what ratio to the increase of population
can only, at present, be a matter of es-
innate. The public religious services
of the church have never been so nu-
merously attended as now, nor by so
large a proportion Of intelligent, re-
sponsible people. And the most strik-
ing phenomenon of the age-the rise OF
the children's church-makes it GER

ever before.--ReU. DR.. Pullman, of Nea0

The Important Question.

To the colored people of the South
the question of getting homes of their
own. OF buying the land which they
cultivate, is simply question Of
whether they shall go forward or
backward. To succeed in life, to
secure any fair degree Of prosperity
and happiness and the Blessings OF
home life they must. by thrift, econ
omy and industry buy land and build
homes; surrounding them with home-
like attractions and making their
fro sides cheerful, happy and sacred
spots.
1t has ever been the policy of the
GAZETTE since it's first issue, to i'm
press this important truth IN the
minds of all. Some months ago We
published series Of papers by a
prominent citizen, himself land
owner. advocating and advising land
lords to cut up their plantations into
small farms and sell them on reason
:, able terms to their tenants. The ar
ticles we're ably written and conclu-
sive in their argument, taking the
ground that such a course would be
better for both the landlord and ten
ant.
The old system. however, still runs
on. The tenant renting either on
.'shAtes or money rent, goes on from
year to year, with no interest in the
coil further than he gets out of it 70,
