BILL ARPS Bill Relates Some His Ch?re Atlanta Cc Fragments of Indian history have i accumulated unon me of late and as they concern the Creeks and Chero kees and are of romantic character, I I am constrained to record them. These | two tribes are our Indians and make I up quite a chapter in the history of Georgia. Alabama and East Tennes see. North Georgia was especially the home of the Cherokees, for their chiefs lived near Rome as far back as we* have their history, and the Creeks, or Muscogces, as they are more prop erly .called, lived south of the Talla poosa river. These tribes are not to be classed with savages, for they were of a higher grade, and but for the greed of the white man would no doubt have continued to advance in civilization and refinemement under the lead of such chiefs as Ross, Ridge, Boudinot and Mclntosh. Everybody is familiar with the story of Pocahontas. . Longfellow wrote a beautiful story about Hiawatha, and William E. Rich ards penned sev?ral pretty legends about the Indian girls of Tallulah Falls, ?nd so I will pen the story of JohD Ridge and Boudinot as given to me. This story was sent to me by Mrs. Ellen M. Gibbs, of Crystal Lake, 111. Her mother, Mrs. Taylor, who died in 1878, wrote this romantic sketch in 1877, when she was 76 years of age, and left it for her children, who had so often heard her repeat it. By some strange coincidence I have recently received a letter from Mrs. Virginia Williams, of Bloomfield, Fla., giving the ancestry of John Ross, ^ whose grandfather was a Scotch refu gee named McDonald. The writer, Mrs. Williams, traces her lineage back to the same McDonald tree. Her mother was a daughter of William Day, who married Agnes McDonald. Mrs. Williams would like to learn more about Ross and his parents., and hopes this publication may attract the attention of some one who can in form her. And now comes a marked copy of a New York paper called Sabbath Read ing in which John Ross, a son of the old chief, appeals for preachers and teachers to come out to the Cherokee nation and help to educate and train the children in the Christian faith, and especially to teach them in their Sunday schools. This appeal is dated December, 1897, and Mr. Ross's ad- i dress is No. 101 Gold street. New York. And here is the Vinita Leader, an ! able paper, published in the nation, and contains General Andrew Jack son's letter to the Cherokee Chiefs, written in 1835, and which urges and ^ entreats them to accept the terms of the treaty and move at once to the territory assigned to them. And almost by the same mail comes another interesting and beautifully written sketch of the present condi tion of the Muscogees (or Creeks). It was written by Mr. W. W. Ramsay, of Marysville, Mo., a gifted and schol arly gentleman who is deeply interest ed in Indian affairs. Other fragments have come to me, and if I do not abridge and compile and have them' published in your paper, much valua ble history of these Indians will be forever lost. But to the story? x"In 1817 a foreign mission school was established at Cornwall, Conn. It was a charity school for Indians main ly, though there were some white pu pils there and some defrayed their own expenses. Students from several Indian tribes were there to acquire the English language and a rudiment ary^education. Some white pupils al so acquired the Indian language aud went out as missionaries to the-tribes. Besides the'Chippewas and Choctaws and Cherokees, I remember there were two from the Sandwich Islands. ' Mr. Daggett was the first princi pal of the school and Mr. Andrews the last. Every May there was a pub lic exhibition . and the Indian boys spoke on the stage, first in their own language and then in ours. They were genteel and graceful in their oratory. They sang songe in their native tongue, all waving their hands in harmony with the music. They were never allowed to go beyond the limits or into people's houses without invitation. When they visited us we laid aside our work and entertained them. "Among these students was a Cher ekee youth named John Ridge, thi sen of a chief, a very noble youof Ban, of fine form and feature and i perfect gentleman in his manners au( importaient. For two years ho wa afflicted with a hip disease. Whili he boarded at Mr. Northrup'n au< ?rs. Northrup had the care of him sometimes her daughter Sarah, gweet arid lovely girl, waited upoi him. One day Dr. Gould, who wa Bay cousin, said to Mr. North run 'John is about well, lie has no physi eal disease about him and needs n more medicine, but he is in troubl and you had better find out what i tie matter.' "That afternoon while Sarah wa ; LETTER. itory of trie Greeks and >kees. institution away her mother took her knitting ! and went to sit and talk with John. While there she took notice of his melancholy and begged him to tell her what troubled him so much of late. At first he denied having any sorrow, j but being pressed told her that he loved Sarah and knew that he could never marry her, for he was an Indian. 'Have you ever mentioned it to Sa rah?' she asked. 'No, said he, lI\ dare not, but how could I help loving j I her?' "When Sarah came home her mother said: "Sarah, do you love John Ridge?' 'Yes, I do, mother,' she said. Then came the family trouble. Mr. Northrup at once took Sarah to her grandparents in New Haven and begged them to wean Sa rah from her Indian lover?to give parties and introduce her to nice young men, which they did. but it was all in vain. She remained there three months and seemed to be pin ing away in silent grief. Her parents became alarmed and brought her home. What was to be done, for it would be an awful thing for Sarah to marry him. As a last resort Mr. Northrup told John Ridge to go home and stay two years, and if he got en tirely well he might come back and marry'Sarah. He did so and when the time was out came back accompa nied by his father, Major Ridge, the ehief of the Cherokees. They trav eled in princely style and were hand somely dressed. I remember that Major Ridge's coat was trimmed with gold lace. "John and Sarah were married and went to the Cherokee nation to live, but not as missionaries, for John had to visit Washiflgton quite often to transact business for the tribe. Sa-1 rah had servants to wait upon her and lived like a princess in a large two story dwelling. "Not long after this the little town of Cornwall had another tumult and great excitement came into its social life. There was fever heat when it was announced that Elias Boudinot. who was John Ridge's cousin, was I about to marry Harriet Gould, the fairest and best educated girl in all I that region. She was the nearest { perfection of any girl I ever knew. She was the idol of the family. Her brothers and sisters had all married into the finest families in the country and all lived well. Kindred came from neighboring towns to intercede with Harriet. Ministers called andj pleaded, but all in vain. She dej clared she would marry him and gi with him to his people and be a mis j sionary. j I "Harriet's greatest distress was thj meeting with her "brother Stephen who was nearest her age and devotfl to her. She feared it would break hs heart. When he came she burst iao tears and refused to meet him. je went away and did not attend he wedding, but after it was overlie came and the next morning waicd upon them at breakfast and seemed in a measure reconciled. But he c?tld not see them married. I made -jar net's wedding outfit and saw Jem married. Boudinot was a very 1 hd some man. He had a char ?ng voice and was a splendid singer, "lie ! was a very brave and fearless madfor j the roughs of the town had sworn hat I he should never come into it a vc. j and if he did he should never g< jut j alive, but they were awed by his es j encc. ! "As a result, however, of these wo j marriages the Cornwall mission sc?iol i was discontinued. .1 j "Boudinot and his wife went t< ,he j Cherokee nation, where two chil en j were born to them. Col. Could is 1 itcd them there au'd was well pic cd ; with their surroundings, for cy i lived near by to Sarah Ridge and P.-ir ! children were all happy together nil both families had all the comfort of I life and many of its luxuries, ho j two Cornwall girls had chosen n'ist excellent husbands and had not e gretted their choice. "Boudinot taught school awhilcat New Echota and published an India newspaper (New Eohita is near CM houn, in Gordon County). After tic removal to the territory in 1838, Ridp? and Boudinot lived about a wie apart. Sarah had three children and Harriet six. but died in giving birth to the last. Boudinot then went to Vermont aud married Harriet s cousin and she wSnt to the territory will him. After his assaainatton, she r' turned to Cornwall and the chihjr?' went with her aud were distrij/urd among their mother's kindred ; d were highly educated and mingle* ? social equality with the white peopn" The remainder of the narrative i written by SCrs. Taylor and copied fo me by Mrs. Uibbs relates to the stor of the assasination of Major l?idg and John Ridge and rSlias Boudinot of which 1 told your readers in former letter and will nut repeat i now. Boudinot's real Indian natu was Kclie-kee-nah, but while at scho< at Cornwall attracted the attention < Elias Boudinot, a Philadelphia phil anthropist, who adopted him and gave him his name and left him a large legacy in his will. Iiis son, Elias C. Boudinot. became distinguished in the nation. He was born at Vanns Valley, near Rome, Ga., in 1885. and died three years ago at Fort Smith, iu Arkansas. BlLL?BP. --mm*-* m Three Lightning Stories. A party of commercial men lounged in the easy chairs in the rotunda of the Brown Palace Hotel last evening. ;'AsIwas going to remark,'' said the cologne man, "I was traveling in Texas a few years ago, and spent a day or two at a place where a gang of men were building a new railroad. There were at least two hundred of them. On this particular day a thunder storm came up and a bolt of lightning struck almost in the center of the men. A dozen or more of them were stunned by the blow and knocked down. One man, who was standing very near where the bolt struck, had bis clothes burned a little. He was all right in a few minutes, and went about his work. About quitting time he put his hand in his pocket to look at his tratch, and, much to his sur prise, jound his pocket empty and the bottoir torn out. He went back to where he fell when the lightning struck and found a rough chunk of silver all that remained of his watch. The beat from the lightning had evi dently melted it, and it burned its way trough the pocket and fell to the ground.-' ;'? that story won't convince you on tje spot, I have one that will," saidthc pork-packing man of Kansas City "Jeforc I go further, let me state tha this story is an actual fact and no ooling. In Arizona last summer Mr. H. J. Allen, wife of the finan eiaageut of the United Verde Mfnc, wa) seated in a room with another wenan sewing. A thunder storm was rajing outside, when suddenly a clap ot'thunder came and a flash of light wiich blinded the women sewing. Af t? they had recovered from the shock Mrs. Allen found that a bolt had come diwn the chimney, and as it flew aiross the room it brushed against ttr back hair and melted all the hair jins that had held it up a few mo ments before. A further investiga ?Dfc revealed the fact that the bolt jad struck the corner of a bed iu an idjoioing room, shattering the wood. Strange as it may seem, Mrs. Allen's hair was not even singed." The other members of the party moved uneasily in their chairs, ex cepting the Chicago man. Turning to his companions, he said: "While in Georgia a year ago last spring a darkey was struck by light ning and lives to tell the tale. He was riding home across a cotton field during a thunder storm when a bolt of lightuing struck him between the shoulders. It ran down his back, burned a hole in the saddle, killing the mule uuder him- He fell oft' the mule and walked home in the raiu, be moaning the loss of his suit of clothes, which had been badly torn by the lightuing. Upon his arrival home, wkcut he went to change his clothes, his wife made the discovery that the lightning had made a white stripe down his black back. He carries that mark to this day."?Denver Republi can. Moonshiners Make an Attack on Ofli cers. Blue Hi due. Ga., February '.?.? Deputy Collectors Hopkins and Hen derson report a terriftic encounter with moonshiners iu the Rock Cheek district, near here, last night. Together with 3Iarshals Stanley and (Jraigo. they went on a raid and ab ruptly rounding a bluff, came upon six moonshiners squatted around a still, which was ih i'ull blast. A fierce tight ensued, but so ex cited were all the parties that no one was hurt. In the melee the moun taineers succeeded in uprooting the still and escaping with it into the woods. Pursuit was impossible, and the of ficers started back to town. Half way from the scene of battle, they were attacked by moonshiners from anbush, and Hopkins was severely wounded in the foot, while Stanley's lorse and an animal 'from the livery itable were killed. ?

The Dm turner's Story. "Country trips," said a well-known Atlanta drummer, in conversation with a group of friends. i;aro not al ways chuck full of interesting inci dents, but I had an experience recent ly I shall not soon forget. I was driving from Clayton to Blairsville, and in the wildest part of the moun tain road my driver discovered that one of the axles of our hack was cracked and threatening to snap at any moment. While wc were wondering what to do a mountaineer came along and told us that two miles up the j jjulch we would find a blacksmith shop where the fracture could be welded. ''We managed to get to the shop without a collapse. The big, red headed blacksmith was very busy making barrels, and said he could not fool away any time with us, for the men for whom he was making the bar rels were ljes' erbleeged to make a run next day.' I told him I did not care how many runs they had to make or how much liquor they were going to produce, but I wanted my axle re paired, and hoped he would do it as soon as possible. " 'Wal, Mandy,' said he, addressing his six-foot daughter who had just come into the shop, 'start up the fire thar, an' I'll try to fix the stranger.' ''Mandy raked the coal against the nose of the bellows and commenced blowiug away like she understood all about the business. One of the younger children came out of the cabin and said : "'Mandy. oh, Mandy: mammy sez fur you to come in yeer and start sup per. ' "Mandy stamped her foot impa tiently and answered : " '(Jit away from yeer an' lemme alone.

I have been hearing all my life about the weaker sex and the weakness of woman, but I cannot hereafter give them half the consideration I once did." The Foods we Eat. s Nature supplies us with two com plete foods, milk and eggs, which con tain in proper porportions all the ne cessary elements for the sustenance of our bodies. As these are the only complete foods, it is necessary in their absence to have mixed foods, and it is in the mixing that mistakes occur, be cause -the fat forming, muscle form ing, and other parts are taken in wrong proportions, some iuexcess and others the reverse. Left to his own taste primitive man invariably selects trie best food. This instinct, however, is defective at the present day. For children, food rich in bone forming substances is necessary. Among mus cle forming foods the following are the best and most common : Oatmeal porridge, with rich milk and wholemeal bread buttered ; meat is a highly condensed food of -this class. To men of sedentary occupa tion a free use of meat is injurious. For men engaged at hard manual la bor a generous meat diet is admirable. Vegetables contain but little nour ishment, but are useful as blood puri crs, and also supply hulk to the food which is necessary to give the con sumer satisfaction. Milk should nev er be taken with meat, because they arc both rich in one substance. Tea should not be taken with meat, either, because it renders the meat tough and indigestible. Beef ranks first as a muscle former, and mutton next. Pork makes a very digestible dish, and fowl and bacon are a very useful and palatable dish. Cereals enter largely into our diet, aud are of much value, because they supply food or starch as well as muscle food. Potatoes pro vide little nutriment, but with plenty of milk, which supplies the precise ingredients they lack, a good diet is formed. Sugar is well worthy of notice, and the child's love of it is a perfectly healthy instinct, aud should always be gratified in reason. Fruits arc good blood puriliers, and should be consid ered as essential, rather than luxuries. Beef tea contains scarcely any nutri ment whatever, and is almost purely a stimulant. A dog fed on beef tea starved to death, while another fed on refuse meat throve. Tea, injurious if taken in excess, provides, if taken iu moderation, a most refreshing drink. Many scientists recommend its use about two hours before our principal meal, and without food. Coffee is a stimulant, unlike all others, in fact, that it is followed by no reac tion. It stimulates the bruin, aud is called an intellectual drink. Cocoa deserves to be classed as a food.? Mrrfirttl .Yrins. m mm To Our Customers.

Big Tunnel, Vu. Sold by Hill-Orr Drug Co, Sensible Heir. A pretty little story is told of a young clerk in a dry goods shop who has recently come into possession of a large fortune through the favor of an old gentleman distantly related to. him. The young fellow listened with amazement to the news imparted to him by his employer and the old gen tleman's executor one afternoon. "I suppose I must not expect your services as clerk any longer,'* said the dry goods merchant with a smile. "I shall be sorry to lose you." "Oh, I shall stay my month out, of course, sir," said the boy promptly. "I shouldn't want to break my word just because I've had some money left me." The two older men exchanged glances. The money referred to was nearly $300,000. "Well," said the lawyer, stroking his mouth to conceal his expres sion, "I should like an hour of your time between 10 and 4 tomorrow, my young friend, as it will be necessary for you to read and sign some papers." "Yes, sir,'" said the clerk, "I al ways take my lunch at a quarter be fore 12: I'll take that hour for you in stead to-morrow. If I eat a good breakfast. I can.get along all right till G o'clock." The two men again exchanged glances, but neither said a word to spoil the boy's unconsciousness that he was taking his good fortune in an unusual way. "Well," said the lawyer, when the door had closed on the modest heir to thousands, "all I can say is, if that boy ever uses his money to anybody's disadvantage, I miss my guess!" And the year that has elapsed since then has gone to prove the truth of his words.? Youth's Comj/aniuit. A Specific For Grief. A fourteen-year-old boy went into his mother's presence with one eye black, his lips swollen, and a ragged scratch across his cheek, the blood from which he had wiped off with his shirt sleeve. "Nicodenius.'"cried the parent.as he crawled in. "have you been fighting again?" "No," he sullenly grunted. "Then what on earth ails your face?" "Jim Green's ma's dead." he re plied. "Well, suppose she is, what's that to do with your disfigured face?" "I saw Jim just now," answered the boy, "an' ho looked awfully sad and lonely." "Well?" "I didn't know what to do to make lim happy again, an', feelin' sorry for him, I just went up to him an' let him hiw. -e five times." "Did it \elp him?" a*ked the mother.-" "Help him?" e ' -h! the boy in a sin-prised tone. "Ot cuutsc it did.
