Then snd NoW.

About the year 1920, the American
Board of Boston concluded to take q
number of Cherokee boys to School IN
Cornwall, Ct, and educate them. Among
the number was John Ridge, and Buck
Waite, afterwards, known as Elias Boudl-
not, father of Elias and William Boudi-
not, well known in this State. w bile
these young men were engaged in their
studies they "fell in love" as the term is,
with two young ladies of that place, ana
it was fully reciprocated by these ladies.
After the young men finished their edu-
cation, they returned home; and about
the year 1924, John Ridge went back to
the land of steady habits to marry his az
6anced, Miss Sarah Northrup. When he
arrived Observation-Disclosures, and the
object of his visit was made known, 1t
spread like wild fire---tfe papers pro-
claimed it as an outrage, and preachers
denounced it in the pulpit--that an Ind
ian should go into a civilized community
of New England and marry and carry
away one of the finest daughters OF the
land. The marriage took place, however,
and Ridge came near being mobbed
There was no railroad in those days, and
Ridge and his bride had to travel in the
stage, and at every station he was greet
ed with excited throngs, denouncing him
for taking away as wife-a white girl.
AT one place, when being denounced by
the crowd, Ridge replied that he had
come to their country and plucked one
of its fairest flowers, but he did not feel
that he was her inferior in any respect.
Boudinot followed suit in a fow months
afterwards, and the excitement was, II
ANYTHING worse Qic ofhis wife's broth
ers would not speak to Boudinot, and
continued to treat him with silence for a
number of years after he returned to the
Cherokee Nation. Miss Harriet Gold
was the name of the young lady that
Mr.. Boudinot married. Both of these
ladies were highly accomplished, and
made amiable and devoted wives; and
they brought up their children so as to
reflect credit upon them as christian Ia
dies We knew all the parties well, and
have often heard them relate the perils
of their marriage in the land of moral
ideas Boudinot and Ridge, were men
of high order of talents, and Boudinot
proved himself to be an able writer as the
editor of the Cherokee Phoenix, the first
number of which was issued in Fcbrua.
ry 1928. Ridge was natural orator. land
spoke fuently and eloquently in either
English or Cherokee. Both of these In
dans made the best Of husbands, and
proved themselves worthy of the amiable
and accomplished ladies they married.
If the marriage of two Cherokee In
dans to two Yankee ladies created so
much excitement then; what would be the
consequence nO1 if one or more of THAI
class, ofthc coiored "man and brother:
should go to the New England States to
marry young and accomplished white
girls ?-Fort Smith Herald.

VAN BUREN, CRAWFORD Co., ARK,t
May 3lst, 1870. !
J. S. DuSmAM, Editor Van Buren, Press
DEAR SIR Much has been said in relation
to shooting aflray which took place at my
house, on the evening of the 2ith of May, 1870.
| will briefly state the circumstances and
leave the public to Judge whether politics has
had any thing to do with it or not. I am Of
the opinion that no citizens Of Crawford coun-
ty were among the party. as l do not think
our County contains men who prov through
the country seeking the life Of peaceable
quiet citizens. Neither do l think that the
political feelings Of any citizen of our Coun-
ty, would influence him to identify himself
with band of midnight assassins ann mur-
dercrs.
About 10 o'clock, on the night Of oath ult.,
| awoke on hearing some one call at my gate
and on my opening my door and stepping
out, the party inquired if Anderson lived
there. replied that he did, and Immediate
ly firing commenced from the corner of the
house. returned their fire, but was unable
to shoot more than three times in conse-
qucncc Of my arms being in bad condition.
BY this time Mr.. j. S. Shannon and John
Homer, who were stopping at my house,
came down stairs and opened fire on the par
ty, when they retired.
do not know how many shots were fired
by the party, some twelve or fifteen lodged
in tue house. My wife and family were in
great danger during the time the firing was
-.
kept up. should have followed the parties
next day, but my business prevented me from
doing so. l shall take occasion soon however
to trace up the outlaws and murdcrers, who
are prowling around this portion of the State.
Respectfully,
ii. 5. ANDERSON, Sheriff
Crawford County.

ave are glad to see that this Home
Institution is rapidly growing in popular
favor, that its stocks is sought after, and
that by its successful management during
the two years of its existence, it has es.
tablished itself and secured the confidence
of the public.
The Branch office here will be Of great
advantage to our merchants, If a loss oc

justed here, by men known to us, and
time, trouble and expense save and jus

In the selection of officers, the direc.

Meyer, as n manager cannot be surpassed
as flnancier, and in Insurance matters
generally we know of none better posted
up in the matter than j. II. Sparks & Co
who, by experience and close attention
to business, have established their repu
tation rs insurance men.

writes Of him:
l knew Clingman in the olden time,
when the South ruled Washington, and
he and few Others ruled the South
That was time of Virginia distractions,
Democratic contradictions, and, compar-
atively speaking, period when our civil
affairs were honestly administered. These
Southern rulers>were beasty aristocrats,

not steal. And what blessed dispense
