Richard White, colored, left Tuesday for a visit to the family of his old master near Midway.  "Dick" as he is better known, belongs to the Wallace family of Woodford County and left them in 1864.  He has never seen any of the family since that time, though he has kept in touch with them.  He is one of the old-time slave negroes, of whom they are but few, and he is a connecting link between the past and present generations.  He is also one of the only colored students of Berea College, and is one of the most prosperous negroes about Millersburg.
