A GREENSBORO INCIDENT.

Bailinger-About three years ago
a young colored girl about IA years
Of age conceived the idea that she
desired to taste of the bitter expert
ences of the Prodical Son which she
mistook for pleasure and freedom,
deserted her home and aquaintances
and roamed among strangers not
more than 95 miles from her home I;
engaged her services to a white fam
lily whose name as yet has not been
obtained; and with whom she was
held peon and ward; was forced to
deny the fact that she had living rela-
tives, when in fact her father lived
not more than 35 miles from this
place. She would run from the sight
of any colored person who might pass
through the vicinity.
The father of the young lady did
not know of her whereabouts and
apparently did not care. However,
this is not the most shameful part
of the story. In progress Of time this
girl gave birth to little one who
proved on its advent TO be fathered
by one not identified with the Colored
Race.
1t is alleged the wife of the man
for whom this Little Mother worked
did all in her power for the girl, but
less than week after birth of the
babe the mother died 1t is further
alleged the burial of the Little Mother
was a disgrace to civilization. The
child has been adopted by Colored
family of that Community. A Colored
man Of the same community dug the
grave and assisted with the burial
OF the deceased.
Just before death of the Little
Mother, the wife of the white family
sent for a olored woman of the COM
munity who obtained this whole story.
And 1t is said the officers of that
place desire an investigation, but
there seems to be no anxiety on the
part of the victims father. hence
nothing will ever be done.
This incident reminds one of the
certain scripture which reads, "Be We
not deceived, God is not Knocked, for
Whatsoever a man soweth that shall
he reap"
