Weekly Columbus Enquirer March 19, 1872
A gentleman of this city who visited Opelika yesterday on his return picked up a 
rough looking white boy in the woods near Salem and brought him home to sell 
vegetables. The boy is about twelve years old says he has neither father nor 
mother and has been circulating around loose for some time. He walked to Salem 
all the way from Randolph County Ala. He can read and write and since falling in 
with his new protector is in high glee. That boy has "gum" in him and will yet 
make a man. The kind-hearted gentleman who has taken him in charge deserves 
credit.
