Ancient Doll

Last week Mrs. Caroline Holifield of near Keys Ferry presented Mr. A. A. Lemon, for his little daughter, a doll, which is known to be over 65 years old.  It was given to Mrs. Holifield in 1832, sixty-five years ago, by Mr. Lemon's grand mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Lemon, and now goes to her great grand daughter, well preserved.   It is a bisque doll, with a dress made of black silk 18 inches wide, the standard width in that day.  The hair is done up in strikingly old timy style, but still presenting much the appearance as that of the present day, and it is indeed an antique relic.
