Dix, Mayor of DeKalb (Buchanan County, Missouri), recently discovered that Theodore Irving an Atchison (Kansas) aged colored man, had been his slave before the war, and sent for Irving to visit him at DeKalb. Mr. Dix gave a dinner for his old save and a present from the plantation where he had worked in slavery.
