dressed men sat facing each other in
the rear of the car. the forward seat
having been turned over. apparently.
in order to give each of them double
room. l wondered a bit how they had
contrived to get the brakeman to turn
over a seat. for the turning over of
seats is a matter upon which brake
men are mulish and unacommoda ting

men didn't have double ROOM and so

sat down beside the man who faced the
engine. He wasn't disposed to be hog

made room for me. His lap was liter

to care to read He was a young fell

his back to the engine, was big.

THE older man in the seat facing us
smiled incredulously at this, as much
as to express his doubt that his COM
panion could long hold out on short

addressed me then on the subject of
cigars. and we made an exchange from
our cases. From that we fell into gen

not take long to find out, was an adj

ed the two of us he was talking with
in his handling and treatment OF the
casual subjects we discussed.

AN ANCIENT DOCUMENT.
Bill Of Sale, dated 1909, of
a "MuIatto Man Slave" ("

A generation ago slavery existed
in the United States, and negroes
were bought and sold as are mules
on the streets of Vinita today. The
present generation can scarcely re-
alize that so short time ago, such
condition existed in this land of
the free and home Of the brave.
How human bondage came to be
practiced in this country, and how
it was abolished are matters of
history, and have nothing what
ever to do with the great present
wherein other problems are now
crowding for solution. It may in
terest the curious, however, to
know something Of the customs of
our forefathers, and as one of the
landmarks Of a bygone age, we
herewith print bill of sale to
negro man written by the great
Grandmother Of our townsman
lawyer, Preston S. Davis. The
document il nearly one hundred
years old and lis quaintness is but
an echo Of the lines in which it
was written:
"Know all men by these pres
ents, that I, John Old, Of the
county of Clarke and common
wealth Of Kentucky, for and in
consideration of the sum of FIVE
hundred dollars. do by these pres
ents. sell and convey all my right
and title in and TO a certain mulat-
to man slave, Of the name of
James, aged twenty-five years 9th |
of September last, to Manson Sea- /
mands, Of the county and common
wealth aforesaid, and do hereby |
oblige myself, my heirs, etc.,
henceforlh well and truly to war
rant and defend the said mulatto
man slave to the said Seamands,
his heirs or assigns, against the
claim Of me, my heirs, and every
other person, or persons, who may
or shall claim any manner of right,
title, interest, or profits, arising
from the said slave.
In testimony whereof, | have
hereunto set my hand and seal,
this 10th day of January, 1909.

With the granting by act oi
council Of the additional teachers
for the public school in Vinita will
be given a new impetus to the
school work of the city. The pub
lie school is now very successful
and satisfactory enterprise, and is
rapidly becoming the pride of the
town. The cost of maintaining it
will, of course be considerable, but
no better investment could possi-
bly, be made, and it will be worth
vastly more than 1t will cost.
The term now drawing to a close
has given great satisfaction to the
patrons, and Prof. Dugger and his
faculty are commended for the
ability and skill with which the
school has been managed. The
next term will begin early in jan
uary. perhaps the first week, and
as the chaotic period Of organizing
and beginning has been success
fully passed, the work will be very
much easier hereafter.
