Richard Porter Celebrated His 18th
Anniversary Tuesday.
Tuesday, July 4, marked the 18th
anniversary of the birth of Richard
Porter, an old colored man who
lives in Macedonia, near the city.
Notwithstanding bis extreme age,
the old man still enjoys fairly good
health and frequently walks to town,
a distance of nearly mile. There
can be little doubt as to the accuracy
of his age, as many of the older citi-
zens of the town remember him
years ago, and he was then an old
man with white hair. He is the
father of Stump Porter, the well
known colored barber, who himself
is now travelling down the shady
side of life.
