A STORY OF A song.
TIE STRANGE ADVENTURE THAT ONCE BE-
FELLJOHH HOWARD PAYNE IN GEORGIA


John Howard Payne, author OF Home,
Sweet Home, " was a warm personal friend
OF John Ross, who viii be remembered as
the celebrated chief Of the Cherokees. At
the time the Cherokees were removed from
their homes in Georgia to their present pos
sessions west Of the Mississippi river, Payne
was spending few weeks in Georgis with
Ross, who was occupying a miserable cabin,
having been forcibly elected from his former
home. A number Of the prominent Chero-
KEGS were in prison, and that portion Of
Georgia in which the tribe was located was
secured by armed squads Of the Georgia
militia, who had orders to arrest all who re-
fused to leave the country. While Ross and
Payne were seated before the fire IN the hut
the door was suddenly burst open and six or
eight militiamen sprang into the room. The
soldiers lost no time in taking their prisoners
away. Ross was permitted 10 ride his own
horse, while Payne was mounted on one LED
by soldier. As the little party left the
bovel rain began falling and continued until
every man was drenched thoroughly. The
journey lasted all night. Toward midnight
Payne's escort, in order to keep himself
awake. began huBming; Home, home

without stopping. It has something in it
about pleasures and palaces. Now pitch In
and reel it of and if you can't I'll bounce
you from your horse and lead you instead OF
it"
The threat was answered by Payne, who
repeated the song in a slow, subdued tone,
and then sang il, making the old woods ring
with tender melody and pathos Of the words.
It touched the heart Of the rough soldier,
who was not only ca ptivated bot convfnoed.
and who said that the composer Of such a
song should never 20 to prison if he could
help it. And when the party reached MI

animation, discharged much to their sur
