opinions while. fra expand outapoken
in'Jiia own convictions and never
hesititing to let it be,,known . where
he stood on any queatton, Dr. Alston
had the facultv of making and retain
ing friends as few, mtn havel Indeed,
he "was everybody's friend and every
body .vaa,hia friend. HUcharity
was broad and his " hopitality un
bounded. He bad a warm heart and
generous impulse and loved hU fel
lowman. He did not know how to
say No, and no call of the needy, the
sick and distressed went unheeded
by hira, l Is it remarkable then that
he was held iri such warm eateem
almost idolized by bo great a nuzn
ber ofthe people of Vance and fyitik
Un.-.v and -Warren counties ;smoog
whom he was nbt only the good phy
tician but the good,, Samaritan aiao
fdr more than twenty-five yeara?
A touching .incident in connection
with the burial 0 f this good ' mi n ai
illustrating the plce he held In the
hearts of his people U foaod in a case
we are going to relate here. ' Among
those who came to pay the last tad
tribute 'of respect when he ' was laid
to, rest Sunday afternoon was an old
colored woman who had .-walked 1 2
miles (o bring three little bunchea
of flowers to lay;upon his grave He
had been a friend to her, one' of th
best friends she had ver hf.d, she
said. -'Through foul' weather and fair
he had vcheerfully responded to every
call of need and had gon night ot
