How They spent sunday-The Rush to
Register Begins To-day.
CALDWELL, KAN, Sept 1O.-Although
the minds of the Cherokee boomers
seem at present to be occupied more
with things earthly than with things
heavenly, some Of them have not en-
tirely forgotten their religious obliga-
tions. Rev. John Fassett, one Of the
few minister Of the gospel among the
boomers held church services In the
camp south Of this place to-day.
OF the 5000 people in camp, some 500
attended the services. The services
were held in tho open air, and the mem
bers OF the congregation either stood
on their feet or sat on the sward. The
pulpit was large packing case. There
was NO organ. With the simple facili-
ties regular church service was held.
Last night. a line OF prospective set
tiers began to form at the door OF the
registration booth, which will be
opened for business tomorrow. At
midnight last night 200 men had taken
places in the line and this evening fully
800 more had Joined their ranks. A
big crush is expected when the booth
opens for business in the morning, so
anxious will each man be to secure his
certificate Of registration. The booth is
simply an army tent, 16 by Is feet, fur.
nished with tables and chairs.
The number Of boomers now con-
gregated here and in the campa on the
line aggregate about 5000 people. OF
these about $500 are women and chill

Explorer Manson, dated aboard the
ship Fran, at oharsbowa, Yugoski

is probably the last letter
written by him before his

around him, will drift him across the
Polar regions. The letter also describes
his eyentiul journey since June 81, and

those situations he lost his life, at
the time when the unfortunate
Capt. Turner, with his whole
party, was compelled by the tories,

Capt. Butler on being struck by

The family of the Martins in
this district were very remarkably
conspicuous during the revolu-
tionary war, for their united
efforts in the great cause of in
dependence. There were seven
brothers, and every one took an
active part, and proved themselves
good soldiers. Though frequently
engaged with the enemy, and
some of them wounded, yet all
survived the war, except one,

same night to reach the house
where these patriotic ladies resided
and asked to be accommodated;
which was granted, Mrs. Martin
inquired where they were bound,
and how they came there; they
related they had been taken by
two rebel boys, and showed their
parole. The ladies rallied them
on the occasion, and asked them
if they had no arms; they said
yes, but they were surprised. Mrs.
M. allowed the officers to depart
next morning, without informing
them by whom they were taken.
G. Golphin was superintendent
of Indian affairs for the Greek ma
tion before the revolutionary broke
out, and was a devoted friend to
the American cause. By his in
fuence with the Indians, he saved
the effusion of much blood. He
assisted the Americans in many
extremities with his fortune, which
was considerable, and evinced on
every occasion his attachment to
the principles they had espoused.
No man deserved better of this
country than Mr.. Golphin--he re-
sided at or near Silver bluff, where
a fort was once constructed, which
was called by his name.
The siege of Augusta was carried
on in this district; Majs, S. Ham
mond and Jackson commenced it.
Gen. Green had detached them
from the army in North Carolina,
and directed that they should pen
citrate through the State, and open
the way to the friends of independ-
ence to join; they came down to
the Savannah river, and laid siege
to Augusta. Soon after Pickens
and Lee renewed the siege, and
Col. Brown, who commanded the
fort at Augusta surrendered (June
5th, 17S1).
Col. Samuel Hammond, now re-
siding in this district, is the
nephew of Col. Leroy Hammond,
and came originally from Virginia
with Con. Lincoln. He was an ac-
tive, enterprising, and judicious
officer, and generally successful in
his military operations. He was
in the battle of Kings mountain
battle of the Blackstocks, (where
he had three horses shot under

battle of the Eutaws, and many
others. He entered the army as a
lieutenant, and rose to the rank of
Lieut.. Col. before the close of the
war, having received his commits

Have You An Apple Orc hard9

Did you ever consider what an
excellent all-the-year round fruit
the apple is? In it's raw state it is
palatable and acceptable every
day in the year. 1t is a food, an
Alternative, a medicine, according
to the way it is used. 1t is a
delight to the children from the
day when they begin to ripen in
May until the top one is knocked
from the latest tree in November.
All sorts of apples, from the wild
crab to the most aristocratic apple
produced, are good in their place
and they all have a place. Take
the apple any way you please
raw, cooked, dried, or preserved,
and it is the king of American
fruits.
The exhortation we make is
this: Go to work and set out an
orchard. Select level land and if
it is Second bottom" so much
the better, After the trees are
well started, stop the cultivation
of the land and SOW in blue grass
and white clover, or bermuda
grass and you will have fine
pasture for calves and colts, or
such animals as will not injure
the trees. The land should be
kept up by the addition of little
manure every year.
Do not depend entirely on the
nursery for your trees. Select
scions from best trees in your
neighborhood. Save seed from
best apples, from the earliest to
the latest, and plant in February.
Keep the weeds down and when
they are a year old you cam use
them for grating stock. Save the
best looking and most vigorous
trees until they are two years old
and set out in your orchard.
Watch these seedlings as they
come into bearing. If some of
them happen to be worthless, dig
the trees up and let them go.
From dozen seedlings you will
get three or four trees that he"-
