LITTLE NEGRESS
EXERTS POWERS
Startles Creenville With Her
Wonderful Powers Of
Spiritualism.

Tilly, little colorei girl, is now
being talked about by all Greenville
who have heard Of her remarkable
powers rs spiritualist medium. She
has been in the city only + few months,
coming here from the country near
Fall Back, Miss in Bolivar county.
From slow working negress about
the house, hardly worth her keeping,
she has become prominent figure in
sensational events, and will, il her
powers stand the supreme test, be-
come one Of the most remarkable per.
sonages in the state or south.
How she came into notice was In
this way: Being employed by Mrs.
vaught as house girl on Kinds street,
and while she and the. cook were sit.
ting in the kitchen, she remarked to
the cook that there were spirits in the
room. If the cook saw them she did
not recognize them, for she hurriedly
made her exit out Of the back door, at
the same time calling at the top Of
her voice for Mrs. Vaught.
When Mrs. Vaught got to the kitch-
en- she asked what was the matter and
the old cook out in the yard told her
that the little girl was crazy for she
claimed she saw ssperits in de kit
chin. /" Mrs. Vaught then asked Tilly
what she meant and she replied that it
was true; she did see them and saw
them just as plainly as she could see
her mistress.
Mrs. Vaught Laughed, for not be-
lieving in spirits, it did not frighten
or worry her in the least. But she
decided to try Tillie and carrying her
to her room. she had her call up the
spirits of the departed she desired to
converse with, and for over an hour
the little coon medium carried on q
regular seauce. Her statements
about persons and scenes which oc-
CURED before she was born were true
and surprised all in the house, and
question after question were put to
her which she answered readily.
The little medium told Mrs. vaught
that when her HUSBAND died he had
something to tell her, but did not be-
cause when he questioned the doctor
as to his lease on life during his late
illness, the doctor replied that he
would recover, and the word Of mess
age was not given and Mr.. Vaught
died very shortly after.
Mrs. vaught verified this statement
Of Titles, saying that every thing had
transpired just as the little medium
said.
When asked by iLis. Vaught what
this message was. Tillie replied that
Mr. Vaught bad buried some money
and that she, Tillie, would lead her to
where the treasure is buried. She
described the spot where the money is
claimed to be buried and described
the surroundings perfectly. Mrs.
Vaught at once recognized the place
and said the mediums description is
peri ct When asked II she would 20
to the place and find the money, Mrs.
Vaught replied that she would 60 as
soon as the roads were in better con-
dition. the place where the money is
supposed to be buried being out in
the country.
Since Titles powers have become
known she has had 3 great many to
call on her and ask questions. among
the questioners being Mr.. Cox, the
half brother Of Mr.. Horton who was
killed recently at Dunlieth. After
stating how he was killed, etc she
said the murderer was in the city Of
Memphis.
In OF fnversation with the little me-
dium, she told rs that her powers as
mrdium were first discovered when
sh J was but four ears old, while liv-
ing in the country. She said that her
father was medium and during his
life forbade her to exercise the remark
able power She is now thirteen
years Of age. For colored child she
sis exceedingly bright, answers all
questions intelligently and is very
confident that her reported conversa-
tions with departed spirits are true.
# what she has said and told In the
seances come true, there being some
things disclosed not yet ready for pub
lication, Tilly will prove herself not
only one Of the most remarkable dis
coveries Of tho present generation, but
. God-send as we'll to many. The
outcome TO her seances are awaited
with fevsrish anxiety by those who
