KNIGHTS of Pvthias Picnic.

| Twenty-four persons composed
the K. of p. picnicing party tina
went TO Elkmont Springs last Thurs
day afternoon, and a jollier two
dozen than they were for the thirty
hours spent in making the trip have
rarely, if ever, visited that watering
place. AT 3 o'clock, p. M, Thurs
day, they filed out of town by twos,
in vehicles, each Knight accompa-
nying lady, and arrived at Elk
mont just in time for supper. Pu-
laski's best string band had been
ordered to be on hand, and those
who preferred dancing to rolling
ten pins or strclling in the moon
light, spent the evening in the ball
room, the campers joining in all the
sports and adding much to the en-
jOyment of the picnicers. Friday
was spent most pleasantly. There
was dancing, ten pirs, cards, a
splendid basket dinner, a neat adj
dress on Phythianism by Capt. G.
P. Jones and other sources of en-
iOyment, all Of which were drawn
upon for full measure The party |
to Pulaski that night,
here about 10 o'clock. The
lrive by moonlight and the refresh
nents en-route, at the ice cream fes.
,ival at Tarpley's shop, rendered
he return trip one of the most
pleasant features of the occasion.

Judge Ferriss Next Monday Night.

Judge Jno.C. Ferriss OF Nashville
will speak in Pulaski next Monday
night upon the Importance of the
Randall Cole Industrial School
Judge Ferriss has done more char
ity than all the balance of us to-
gether and in his time has found
homes for hundreds of orphan chill
dren. This is perhaps the best
work he has undertaken and it's OBJ
jects challenge the co operation of
every good citizen. When he es-
pouses and proposes to push
charity, it may be taken for accom-
plished. All he desires is an oppor-
tunity to explain it to the public.
Give him a good house and hear
him for his cause. 1t is no concern
of his and he makes no money, but
his action and aid is horn of that
exalted love for charity which
characterizes him. The place will
be announced.

The court was occupied nearly
all day yesterday and Tuesday af-
ternOon trying very novel damage
suit, which attracted large crowds
to the court room. The complain
ants in the suit are man and wife
who are suing the defendant for
breach of promise and seduction,
alleging the ofenses to have been
committed before their marriage.
One view of the case presen IS the
novel spectacle of the complainant
suing the defendant for not mar
ryIng his (the complainant's) wife
before he did. That is to say,
You must pay me for not marry
ing my wife yourself before 1 got
a chance to marry her." But this
view does not comprehend the true
merits of the case. A report of
this comprehensiveness would com
pose such literature as the CITIZEN
don't publish.
Judge McLemore decided the
case yesterday afternoon at 8
o'clock, giving judgment against
the defendent for $4,000. Little else
Of interest mas been done this week.
There are several very interesting
cases on the criminal docket.

OWENS ELIaIBILITY.

The Atoka Champion of last
week, after copying our brevity
announcing the appointment of
Mr.. Owen as Indian agent says;
We are a little curious to see
what is going to be the result of
this appointment when il gets to
the senate for confirmation. 1t
will be remembered that Gen.
Grant appointed Col. w. p. Ross,
also a Cherokee, to this same Office.
The senate made objections to con-
firming him, and Gen. Grant with
drew the nomination. Our recol-
lection is that the objections were
Col. Ross was an Indian, and
would not renounce his allegiance
to the Cherokee nation.
Your recollection as TO the OBJ
lection TO Col. Ross is at fault.
Mr.. Owen however is eligible, as
we understand it. He was born a
citizen OF Virginia and therefore
citizen of the United States, even
though his ancestry was Cherokee.
His becoming afterwards a citizen
of the Cherokee nation does not
effect his status as a citizen of the
United States, except in his rela-
tions to the laws of the Cherokees.

A PARTIAL CONVERSION.

Two weeks ag we had occasion
TO allude somewhat directly to the
expressions Of the Independence
Star and Kansan in relation to the
future Of the Indian race. After a
calm and sober second thought the
editor evidently sees something
possible beside extinction. With
ou accepting his reasoning we
print the same. We are thankful
for the writer's partial conversion
and are not without hope that he
may still further progress. Here
is what he says:
The rapid progress of the Chey-
ennes, Arapahoes, Osages, and
other Indian tribes toward extinc-
tion is fact to which the CHIEF
TAIN may close its eyes if it is SO
minded; but it is nevertheless one
which ought to be taken into ac-
count i'm dicussing the future of the
immense tracts OF unOccupied lands
lying TO the south of us. The pure
Indian races are, we believe, all
on the high road to extinction
Amalgamation with the whites
has proceeded so far in the Chero-
kee nation as TO indicate that it is
probably a method by which the
Indian can escape that fate. In
stead of fighting to keep white set
tiers out of the territory they
should welcome them as their best
friends. By advocating this the
CHIEFTAIN will promote "their
elevation to a condition Of self-sup-
port and usefulness" Intermin-
Cling with the whites the decend-
ants OF our Indian neighbors will re-
main on the stage of action so long
as our civilization endures. Fail
ing TO do so they will disappear
without leaving a ripple on the
current of history.

81 600 bonds last Saturday to an
swer to a charge of rape. His
trial will occur the second week in

Muskogee Journal:--The colored
tramp who died here Monday,
literally turned over in his
grave.n He was well enough to
walk down town, and after getting
his dinner at Farmer & McQuarie's,
he fell over apparently dead. He
was carried to the Baptist church
and laid out without a sign OF
breath or pulse. His eyes were
closed, and preparations for the
funeral went on. Suddenly the
supposed corpse sprang to his feet,
to the CONSERVATION of the sable
watchers, walked up back of the
pulpit, and with "catch me or |
will fall, " he fell dead beyond
doubt. The colored folks here,
naturally superstitious, are doing
a good deal Of ghostly talking about
the event.
Dodge City Cowboy:-Last Sat
urday, while Mrs. Knight, wife of
L. S. Knight, a sheep owner on
the Pawnee, was lowering their
hired boy by the name Of Otto, in
10 the well for the purpose of
cleaning it out, he dropped off the
rope when a short distance from
the top. She Immediately called
Mr. Knight, who started down the
well TO rescue the boy. Wien
about the same distance from
which the boy fell, he also drop
ped, and never saw daylight after
ward alive. Mr.. William Otto,
father Of the boy, was called, and
in the excitement leaped into the
well and shared the same fate of
the suilocation from damp
air. The death angel met the three
in the Watery well. The bodies
were recovered and lowered into
their graves Sunday afternoon last,
