THE ARKANsAW TRAVELLER.
THE ORIGINAL AMUSING STORY.

Frank Chanfrau presents on the stage.
In fact, his name was not Exit" but
SANDY" and he never had wife
killed and child stolen from him dur
inc his terrestrial existence. The Ar
kanSaw Travellers name was Colonel
Sandy Faulkner and he was born in
Georgetown, KY, in 1903. A cores
pondent says he came to Arkansas in
1929, and settled in Chic0t County, on
the Mississippi River, as a cotton plant
er. Tn 1889 Colonel Faulkner with his
father, the late Nicholas Faulkner,
Virginian by birth, took up his resi-
dence in Little Rock, where he died
August A, 1874, at the age of seventy
one years.
1t was well-known throughout the
Northwest that Colonel Faulkner was
the original personator Of the Arkansaw
Traveller it was his pride to be known
as such, The story, it is said, was
founded on little incident which oc-
cured in the campaign Of lSiO, when
he made the tour Of the State in COM
pany with the Hon. A. II. Sewer, Gov
ernor Fulton, Chester Ashley, and Gov
ernor Yell. One day in the Boston
Mountain the party approached squat
ter's for information of the route, and
Colonel Sandy was made spokesman of
the company, and it was upon his witty
responses the tune and story were
founded,
On returning to Little Rock, grand
banquet was given in the famous "bar-
room which used to stand near the
Anthony House, and Colonel Sandy
was called upon to play the tune and
tell the story Afterward it grew into
popularity. When he subsequently went
to New Orleans, the fame Of the Arkan-
saw Traveller had gone ahead of him,
and at banquet, amid blinking glasses
and brilliant toasts, he was handed
violin by the then Governor of Louisi-
ana, and requested to favor them with
his favorite Arkansas tune. At the old
St. Charles Hotel a special room was
devoted to his use, bearing in gilt let
tiers over the door, "Arkansaw Travel
lef."
