The correspondent of the MORNING NEWS
at Sylvanla writes as follows: The recent
political campaigns in this county have
brought into notice, into prosperity. and
we had almost said into fame, a very inter
esting and old-time negro In Svlvania
named Henry Dunbar Dunbar does iabs
for nearly everybody in town, aud being of
an humble and oblging disposition has be-
come quite popular with our citizens and is
nearly always on band when you want him.
When the season opened in the spring Dun
bar surveyed the political horoscope and
saw that there was a chance to make some
uIOhoS' 90 ne ROb MIN q peanut rooster and
constructed a small stand on the side Of one
of our stores; and on all public days he has
fed the hungry multitudes with the ever
fascinating Georgia peanut. He was nc
partisan, but to democrats and Peoples
party men, and even to those OF his own
race who still claimed allegiance TO the <
o. p, without prejudice and partiality, he
dealt out 10 each aud ali alike a good hall
quart OF peanuts for a nickel The reputa.
ton Of Dunbar's peanuts soon went abroad
and as there has been hardly a week during
the summer or fall without its attendant
political meeting, it is needless to say that
he has raked in the sheckels. From the
proceeds of his peanut stand be recently
purchased a splendid mule. To this he con.
templates adding in the near future several
other stylish animals with which he vii
start a hack line, or more probably street
car line, from the depot up into town
Dunbar does not seem at ell elated over hi
success, but still sells peanuts at the ole
stand aud is always ready when you call OF
him for work.
