Personal Items

Uncle Tom Lumsden was in Talbotton Tuesday for the first time in several months 
and his friends were delighted to have the pleasure of shaking his hand again.  
There is not a better known or a better liked man in Talbot County than Uncle 
Tom Lumsden.  He spent several months this summer up in White County.  While 
there he made over four hundred baskets and caught over a thousand fish, eating 
only one of the number caught.  For his work he received a basket of apples, a 
small basket of peaches, a wasp nest for fish bait and a dollar and twenty-five 
cents in money.  Most of the baskets made were small ones, which he gave the 
children to carry their lunches to school in.  Uncle Tom is now over eighty 
years of age and we wish for him many more years.  He is a man who has sunshine 
in his soul and takes the greatest delight in making others happy.
