PIONEER HISTORY.

From a communication in tho Frank
lin Sun, signed "Scnex," we extrac
the following interesting information
concerning the early history of por
ton of North Louisiana:
In 1913, fresh from tho classic shade.
of Alma Mater, 1 made my first &C
quaintance with the primitive regioI
that has since developed into Franklin
parish. At that time it bore the soft
Indian name Catahoula, from the In
dian Okatahoufa, Silver Water, wheth-
or from tho bright waves of the beauti-
full Ouachita, or the more placid waters
of CatahouIa Lake, I never knew.
CHANGING back, over the Intervening
years, pause to note the many changes
they have wrought. The country then
was an almost unbroken wilderness,
with here and there a log cabin and a
little field. A cluster of small farms at
Oakley, known as the GLOVER Settle
ment," and another, at Osborn's, call
ed the "Upper Settlement" comprised
nearly all the inhabitants of the east
ern portion. "Hope Estate" then as
now, was prominently the largest
place in the parish; the Brannin place,
think, ranking next. Westward,
Beuf Prairie had made, somewhat,
more rapid strides towards civilization,
while the intervening region was still
Primeval forrest rarely visited except
by the hunter in search of bear, deer,
and other game. Where our parish
seat now stands was a favorite camp
ing ground for bear hunters. Soon at
ter this, however, tide Of emigration
set In bringing in a more enterprising
class of people. New places were
opened and a new life developed. Tho
original settlers dying out or moving
away and driven back by the advanc-
Ing tide. Soon a successful effort was
made to erect a new parish; the bound
aries were defined; the parish seat
selected, and called by the euphonious
name of Winnsboro, much to my dis
gust, for John Winn was leading
Democrat, and I staunch Wing.
The new parish was organized with
Judge -. X. Wilson, as district Judge;
