A Colored Girl's Intuition.
There is a little colored girl on the place of Mr. Bob White, in Jackson county, who is a wonderful medium. She is subject to fits, and to relieve her Mr. White mesmerizes the child. While in this state she makes the most wonderful revelations, describing persons and their occupation in an adjoining room. The other day she was visited by a doctor from Atlanta, who asked her if she knew him, the gentleman having never seen the girl before. "Yes," she replied, "your name is Dr. --- (giving it correctly), and I saw you yesterday in Atlanta playing on something like a little piano." The physician stated that at the time mentioned he was in the city and using a writing machine.
