A ROMANCE OF SLAVERY.
The Husband and Wife Torn Apart
Forty Years Ago Happily United.
Rome, Ga. Special to Courier-Journal.
That there are romances as touching
in negro life as were ever told is
proven by the story of a colored
couple named Uncle Levi and Aunt
Aggie, who lived in Cedartown Valley.
In 1840 Levi belonged to Mr.
Sparks, who then resided in Morgan
county. In the same county lived
Dr. E. E. Jones. Among Dr.
Jones’ slaves was a fine looking
mulatto girl, whoes smiles was courted
by every young male slave in the
community. She was named Aggie.
Levi and Aggie met often at corn-shucking
frolics. They were partners
in the dance and play, and every
Saturday night he would obtain a
pass to visit her. Thus Levi wooed
and Aggie was won. They married
in 1843.
“And I was so happy when I met
every Saturday night to see my young
wife,” said Uncle Levi. They had
only been married a year when Mr.
Sparks moved from Morgan to Polk
county, carrying the broken hearted
husband with him. After five or
six years separation, believing they
would never again see each other,
Levi married one of his master’s
women.
“But, Boss, I never loved her like
Aggie,” was the old man’s explanation.
Aggie, too, married, and both
raised a large family; but their
thoughts often drifted to the past.
Neither knew whether the other was
living. At last came the down fall
of the Confederacy and the freedom
of slaves. Upon enquiry Uncle Levi
found that his old love was still living
and married. He went nobly to
work for his second wife. Ten years
ago Aunt Aggie’s husband died and
left her without providers. News
reached Uncle Levi, and he sent
word to his old love to come and live
with him and his wife. This Aunt
Aggie refused to do. Years flew
fast, and the boy and girl who sang
and danced at the corn-shucking,
who loved, married and were parted
grew old with an aching void in their
lives as its evening drew near. Two
years ago Uncle Levi’s wife died,
and after a few months mourning he
went for Aunt Aggie. She went to
her old love, and after a separation
of forty years they were united.
They return in part to days of their
youth, and their love is young again.
Everybody in the neighborhood has
heard the sad story and they are recipients
of many kindnesses. Aunt
Aggie is now 60 and Uncle Levi is
70.

INFORMATION WANTED. Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 4 To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette: My Dear Sir: - I am very anxious to find out the whereabouts of Benjamin Harris, colored. Benjamin was a true and faithful servant of mine prior to the war between the States and my most trusted friend during the four years of war. He was with me on the battlefield, and in the hospital always by my side. He was with me to the last, and did not leave me for 12 months after the close of the war. The last I heard of him he was in the neighborhood of Alexandria, Va. If through your paper, or any other source, you can find out his whereabouts and send me his address, I will ever be grateful to you. A. B. Carter, Captain of Co. F, 6th Va. cavalry.

MN. Editor-Allow me to in-
quire for my people. I left them
in Rutherford, Tenn, in 1849. They
belonged to D. C. Dement; he died
and they were sold to James Flem-
ing. Their names were Austin
Dixon and Dilsia Dixon. They had
three children with them, Caroline,
Virgil and William. The last I
heard of them they were living with
Joseph Dement in Carroll county,
Tenn., in 1869. The latter were my
grandmother and grandfather. My
mother's name is Mary Jane Ford,
their daughter. I was brought to
Mississippi in 1850 by Lucinda
Dement. I was called Beriah
Dement at that time. Since then
my name is changed to A. B. Dick-
son. Address me, care of Rev. N.
