SERVANT IN ONE HOME

birmingham. Ala, Aug. 19.-Fifty-
two years a servant in one place is
the record Of Uncle Abe Mckinney,
who has waited on the dining table OF
the Judson Female college at Marion
in this state, ever since 1864. He is
personally known and affectionately
regarded by thousands Of women all
over the country who have attended
that institution since the Civil War.
The alumnR of Judson recently donat-
ed enough to restore his home, which
was destroyed by fire.
Uncle Abe is an old negro OF war
times. His record for the same job at
the college is said TO be the longest
in the country. Nearly everybody in
Alabama and the south knows him
and his tips during his long service
would make n small fortune.
