ed with the box OF gold, not dollar
of it missing. Yetif he had been OF
a dishonest and treacherous turn of
mind, he could have unearthed the
hidden gold and rode off it with when
commanded to 60 along with the
cavalry regiment. But he exhibit
ted true manhood, answering hon
esty and faithful devotion to his
trust, and gold could not tempt him
to play the Judas and abandon and
betray his old and confding master.
The war ended and Charlie still
remained steadfast and true to his
old master and mistress, and when
chilly death came and stilled their
hearts in eternal sleep, none wept
around their graves with more sim
cere sorrow than Charlie.
The old colored man is still living,
is now 20 years old, and resides in
Gwinnett county, Ga, and all who
know Charlie Medlock, speak we'll
and kindly of him. He tills his farm
with industry, and when any of the
sons of his old master meet him.
they invariably give him money to
help make his declining years COM
Portable.
We know of another instance like
this, of colored woman, named
Maria, now living in Marietta, who
buried some $500 in gold for her
mistress, during the advent of the
Federal army, and when peace was
declared, she went to the woods and
unearthed the coin and returned it
to her mistress, whom she refused to
leave during all that time.
Such instances of fidelity, conf
dence and affection, between servant
and master, were frequent during
that eventful period of our coun-
try's history, and it is to the credit
of these two representatives Of the
