"But what about the soldiers?" she
asked from one of the loopholes.
"They cannot CO." he replied.
''The soldiers are here to make war on
us-to shoot us down-to make us
obey orders we do not like. We have
only hatred for them. Iknow how
many there are in there-four. They
have their guns and will fight, but we

we will send you safely away"

girl.
''Then you will be killed with

The chief turned away and went
back to his warriors, and ten minutes
later there was a circle of fire all
about the cabin. The loopholes were
the objects aimed at, and as every red
skin was sheltered from our return
fire we plugged the loopholes up and
did not fire q shot in answer. It was
noon before their fusillade ceased and
it was almost the last bullet which
penetrated loophole and struck one
of the soldiers in the groin. In half
an hour he was dead. From the min
ute he was hit until the death rattle
came the girl sat beside him, holding
his hand, but helpless to do anything.
When his life went out she rose up
and quietly said:
Garry the body into my room and
lay it on the floor. Thank God, he
did not cry out for water when we had
none to give!"

hessee Horticultural Society and
we'll known as a prominent and
thoroughly reliable fruit grower
contains the following account:
During most of the first half of
the present century and up to 1860
or thereabout there lived on NOli@
chuCky river within this county a
wealthy farmer who name was Ben
Davis. His son r.. A, Davis now
resides at White Pine Jefferson
county Tennessee On the farm
owned by Ben Davis originated the
apple in question From the or.
ignaI tree others were propagated
anc for many years before the
death of Ben Davis he raised and
harvested large quantities of these
apples. The house of Ben Davis
was on the great stock route from
Kentucky to the Carolinas. Many
droyers made it a point to stop
with him in going and returning
the South. 1t was his custom to
supply their saddle bags with this
apple especially on their return
trips There was no name for the
apple known to them SO they call.
Ell 1t the Ben Davis Crafts or
scions were taken to Kentucky and
the apps propagated and disSem-
mated there before it was in Tenn~'
e5see. l have obtained these facts
on personal inquiry from the son
of Ben Davis above mentioned.
And besides these facts are well
known IN the neighborhood amoag
the oder people"
We will leave the reader to
Judge for himself as TO the most
| probable origin of the Ben Davis.
1t is to be hoped that additional
fact may be obtained which will
affirm the account of Mr.. Hodges:
This variety is extensively
| grown throughout the State In

mentioned more frequently than
any other apple Most farmers are

in the Annals of Sequachee.
The l2Oth anniversary Of the De.
claration of independence has come
and gone and we are safe in saying
that for a sensible and enjoyable oc-
casion no place in the country was
ahead Of Sequache9. The welcome
ram of the day previous had bright
ened and cheered the country from
the effects of the drought and the
morning was bright and pleasant.
THE NEWS was in earnest in hav-
ing goodly number of visitors and
they came and enjoyed the beauties
Of our charming town, During the
morning hours the point of attraction
was the Blowing Spring, Columbus
Park, and a more ideal place for
quiet enjoyment could hardly be
conceived.
Poft So held a meeting at which
% comrades were present and a
number of sons of veterans interested
in the formation of camp were on
hand, but as it was found that on aC-
count of previous engagements, a
number of the applicants for char
ter could not be present, it was yo-
led to defer the organization of the
Camp of the Sons of Veterans, u. S.
A, until Saturday, July 18th at 10
o'clock a. m, when 1t wall be insti-
tuted, nearly fifty having applied for
a charter, At noon all wended
their way to the Spring and for an
hour the contents of the baskets and
other packages were discussed with
a good relish III an'informal and en-
ioyable manner. Comrades Watley
and and others welded their knives
in carving and 1t was a jolly, merry
crowd.
A few slight showers about one o.
clock caused the people to hurry to
Owen Church, all good naturedly
taking a little spripkling in perfect
coed humor. At 2 p. m. when the
program was begun the church was
packed solid and the grove surround
mo was we'll filled. The teachers. OF
the Sunday School had lemonade,
ice cream, etc. for sale and from that
time until all was sold they were
very busy.
Major Hill presided at the exercis-
es and the program as published in
the News was carried out. Misses
/. H. Hill, Myrtle Rogers and Emma
Gabel recited prettily. Miss Carrie
I.asater scored a success. The Mus.
ical Society did well especially in the
Anvil Chorus, and Mss Matilda Gus
tafson sang the solos of Hail Colum-
bIa very effectively. Mr.. VIM. Ow-
en- pounded out the Declaration Of
independence; w. B. Stewart and
]. A. Robertson, Of Jasper, made pat
riotic and practical addresses and the
whole program was well received.
w. G. Hill presided at the organ.

BEN DAVIS.
Many readers of this bulletin
will doubtless be surprised to find
the Ben Davis apples placed with
those Of Tennessee origin. There
is a difference in opinion as to it's
history. A prominent Tennessee
Kansas fruit grower claims that it
was first found in Virginia the
cions were taken to Kentucky and
there propagated. Downing states
that its origin is unknown but
that old trees are found growing in
a Kentucky orchard. A promin-
ent Tennessee fruit grower gives a
very concise account OF its origin
in this State and the conveying of
sciOns to Kentucky. The accounts
are at least very interesting and it
is to be hoped that the publication
OF the following notes will result in
additional facts from others who
may know omething concerning
the history of the apple in ques>
ton.
Mr.. Howsley of Kansas said the
Ben Davis was one of their most
profitable apples; ht handed the
Secretary his knowledge of its his
tory as follows: "In the year 1893
VIM. Davis and John D. Hill emi
grated to Kentucky and settled in
that part OF Logan county now
called Butler county. They loca
ted near Capt. Ben Davis the
brother of VIM. Davis and the
| hrother@in~law of Hill. A few
| years afterwards Hill returned to
Virginia on business; and when he
returned to Kentucky, he brought
some apple gratis with him, Hill
and Davis raised fruit from these
gratis. Capt. Ben. Davis, finding
the apple desirable one, grated
the same for himself, as we'll as
raised a young nursery of it
These trees were sold throughout
the country: and, for want of know
ing any other name, the people
called it the Ben Davis apple,
The Davis family, however, call it
Virginia Pipln.
From Downing's Fruit and
Fruit Trees of America: "The
origin of this apple is unknown.
lJ. S. Downer of Kentucky writes
that old trees are there found from
which suckers are taken in the
way of propagating."

other safety which wheelmen ordin-

The two are connected by means of

the gasoline consumed. A mixture

duce combustion, and this furnishes
the motive power. While the wheel
may be made to run at the rate of SO
miles an hour, it may also regulated
to go so slowly that one may walk at
the side Of it. The rider sits upon
the saddle and places his feet upon
stationary pedals. He has then
merely to guide the wheel by means

wheel fall it Immediately stops. The
