that he feared the humane society

providing for his family and would
take the children from him. It is his
ambition 10 keep the little ones togeth-

Sularly enough. the bill creating it was introduced by representative named kersh, also from Lincoln county. Still more interesting is the fact that this first Representative Kersh was a negro, former slave of the kersh family in Lincoln coun- ty, from whom he received his name, as was custom on the freeing of the slaves. He secured his seat in the legislature during the regime known as the reconstruction period, when it was no uncommon thing to see ne- groes occupying the dignified post of representative or Senator.-Little Rock Gazette
