MEXICO, No., December 26.-Old
'Uncle Jim" Murray, well-known
colored character about town, and
perhaps the oldest man in the state,
was found this morning on a back
street, frozen to death. 1t is sup
posed that last night, being over
come by too free use of whisky, he
fell from the sidewalk while on his
way home, and being too old and
helpless to arise, froze in the position
he lay.
'EUncle Jim" was known to have
been more than 100 years old-it is
supposed 104. He was a genuine
African, having been shipped to
Charleston from the land of his ma
tivity in the hold of SLAYER, in COM
pany with cargo of other negroes,
about sixty-five years ago. He was
bought at auction soon after the land
ing of the slave-trader by the late
Samuel Murray, of this county, who
took him to his plantation in Georgia
as cotten-feld hand. E.Uncle JIM
remained in possession of the Murray
family for fifty years after they loca-
ted in Missouri, or up to the time of
the Emancipation Proclamation of
Mr.. Lincoln, as faithful slave as
ever worked for a white man. Soon
after he became a free man he moved
from the large Muuy farm, in this
county, to Mexico, and, owing chief
ly to old age, he managed to exc out
a precarious existence for himself
and family by the very hardest ef-
forts. "Uncle Jim" knew and often
conversed of in an intelligent manner
many public men with whom he was
acquainted in his day, and many oi
his quaint stories, told in his peculiar
manner, were very entertaining. His
lgood old wife, s.Aunt 'Merica," pass.
ed over the river some twenty years
Iago. She was also a character in hel
lway, and once belonged to the fa
nous family of Letchers, of Lexing
ton, KY.

Yancy VS. Yancy-Diyorce.

Ruth Yancy, of this city, at the
next term of court will sue for a di-
vorce from T. H. Yancy, who, she
will claim, has deserted her for one
year and lives where she knows not.
They were married on the Sth of
November, 1888. On the 9th he left
her. Why, he did not say. The
LEDGER Of. that date contained the
following account of the marriage
and desertlon:
NORTHUMBERLAND IN ONE
DAY-MAN LOST, sTRAYED OR
STOLEN.
The records show that last We'd
nesday evening the widow Marcy of
this city, most estimable lady, who
has many friends, was married by
Elder Lee to T. Fl. Yancy of Jami-
son, Daviess county, Mo. The groom
was widower, the bride a widow,
who has lived in Mexico for some
time. The groom said he had plenty
of money and did a good deal of
talking. The morning after the
wedding the groom went out to take
walk. He is walking yet as far as
we can.learn, or at least he has not
been heard Of since. The wife or
rather widow, on being interviewed
says that she knows no reason why
her chubby should skip out. He
claimed to have plenty of money and
