Alf Douglass, one of the best-known Negroes who has ever lived in Talbotton, 
died last Friday after being sick for quite some time.  Alf had lived in 
Talbotton for years, conducting a barbershop.  He was a Negro of unusually good 
common sense and was liked by all the white people of the community.  He was 
quite prominent in the Republican party of the State, and especially in this 
section, but never tried to obtain offices for himself which he knew should be 
filled by white men.  Several businessmen from Talbotton, including Mr. T.H. 
Persons and Mr. C.W. Kimbrough, went down to Geneva Saturday afternoon to be 
present at the funeral services and burial.
