SINGULAR. INDIAN TRADIrIoN.-Amonr
the Seminole Indians there is q singular
tradition regarding the white mans origin
and superiority. They say that when the
Great Spirit made the earth, he also made
three men. All of the men had fair com
plexions; and that after making them, he
led them to the margin Of small lake, and
bade them leap in and wash. One obeyed,
and came out purer and fairer than before |;
the second hesitated moment, during
which the water, agitated by the first, had
become muddled, and when he bathed he
came out copper-colored; the third did not
leap till the water had become black with
mud, and he came out black with it's own
color. The Great Spirit laid before them
three packages, and out of pity for his
misfortune in color. gave the black man
the first choice. He took hold Of each
package, and having felt the weight, chose
the heaviest. The copper colored man
chose the next heaviest, leaving the white
man the lightest. When the packages
were opened, the first was found to contain
spades, hoes and implements of labor; the
second unwrapped hunting, fishing and
warlike apparatus; the third gave the
white man pens. ink and paper. the engines
of the mind-the means of mutual mental
improvement, the social link of humanity,
the foundation of the white mans superiols
ity.

We have been favored by the learned author
with Handsomely bound copy Of this little
work. Having seen intimations that tLe Doc
tors writings were all strongly tinctured with
"Spirits Of Swedenborg," medically speaking,
we turned over several leaves of this volume
in search for something of tho kind but did
not find it, 90 far as we went. On tho contrary,
we found sentiments that might honor the
most orthodox Christianity and couched, at
that, in very beautiful verse. Not only were
the sentiments that We met unexceptionablo
morally, but they were eminently poetical
and beautiful.

GATHERED TO HIS FATHERS.-Onth the 18th
of this month Thomas Finch, Esq, of this
place, breathed his last. The long resi-
dencc of the deceased among this people,
and the prominence of his name, render Il
autobiography quite appropriate.
He was born Nov. II, 1896, in Mccklcn-
burg county, Virginia. His father and
mother emigrated in 1893 to Bourbon coun-
ty, Kentucky, and here our subject was
reared to manhood, and was one of fifteen
ncssec, and married Miss Edna Scruggs.
of Bedford county. 1t was the Fall of
ISIS when he settled about one mile and Il
halt from Winchester, and has been a res
ldent in our midst ever since. Most Of his
life was spent in farming, but lie has filled
several Offices of honor and trust. About
the year 1928 he wa elected to the office
of Coroner. From the year lS30 to July
1880 he served as Sheriff. which office he
then resigned, and was elected in August
following as one of two Representatives to
which Franklin county was entitled in
the Legislature, Thomas Howard, Esq,
being the colleague of our subject. Alter
serving his time in the Legislature, Thonl-
as Finch retired to private life. but in 1916
he was elected Justice ofthe Peace for the
first civil district of this county, in which
Office he served, with the exception of six
years, until his death.
Thomas Finch was married three times.
His first wife died in 1882. In '33 he mar
ried Miss Francis b. Hudspeth. In 1916
She died and he married Miss Ann +. MOf-
felt, and she died in 1867. In that year he
Joined the Baptist church in this place and
continued a consistent member up to the
departure of his soul into the shadowy
realms of eternity.
Thomas Finch was the father of eight
children. five of whom are living. Six
were born to him by his first wife, the
other two were the offspring of his second
wife. or the five living, two are male,
one of whom is Capt. Thos. ii. Finch, our
Clerk 4 Master. The other, named Matt,

lie was one of the first to volunteer in the
war against Mexico. and fought brayely
at Buena Vista. Capt. Thos. Finch, our
'lerk & Master, went to Mexico among
hose who answered the last call for volun-
teres, and in the late war between the
North and South, he lost his right arm at
the battle OF Missionary Ridge, if we mis-
take nor.

usual upon Circuit Court. A goodly num-
Der of people have ~throngcd orr streets,
and the usual hustle has been apparent.
We suppose, too, the usual amount Of
bargain-driying, OF chlcanery, OF Jealousy,
&C., has been displayed. Men have shook
hands who hated each other. and tle,c
have been honest congratulations. Men
have drank together who were seeking to
take advantage Ofeach other. Churchmcn
have forgotten true religion to prate about
crceds and fight bitter lawsuits. Men have
come to pay their taxes, and grumbled at
the sum thereof, but had no scruplcs about
the price Of whiskcy. 1t has been SO for
10! these many days, and it will still be
so There will still he right and wrong,
truth and falschood, industry and lazlncss,
wealth and Indulgence, honor and disgrace,
success and failure, hope and despair, and
