Where is Grant Royster?
Following is an appeal for the finding
of a certain Grand Royster, whom a sub-
scriber [subscriber] is anxious to locate:
"Will anybody who happens to know
the whereabouts of General Grant Roy-
ster [Royster] (colored), more generally called
"Grant" Royster, please have the kind-
ness [kindness] of heart to inform a kind, good old
house servant, Esther Overby, Moffett,
Va.? She has been too faithful in life
to fail to receive this modicum of hu-
man [human] kindness at the hands of some one.
When last heard of he was in Man-
chester [Manchester], Va."
