esHome, Sweet Home" Was Chanted Un-
der Peculiar Circumstances.
When the boundary line between Ten
nessee and Georgia was established, it
passed half a mile south of the spring
Tuck a lee-chee-chee, among the foot
hills of the Unakas, and as it crossed
one Of the principal Indian trails it be-
tame a place Of much Importance. There
had already grown up strong rivalry
between the Tennessee tribes, headed by
Chief Ross, and the Georgia tribes,
headed by Major Ridge, both half breeds
and men Of extraordinary ability as
leaders. The establishment Of the new
boundary line fixed the limits Of their
respective territories, and to try and har-
monize as far as possible the contending
factions the government established a
trading post there. John Howard Payne
appeared upon the scene and was accused
Of melting the Indians to insubordina-
ton. He was placed under arrest as an
incendiary and carried to the council
house. The name Of the place was
changed from the euphonious appellation
of Tuck-a-lee-chee-chee to the one more
easily pronounced Of Red Clay, because
Of the color Of the soil in that vicinity.
While Payne was held there one Of
the first bands arrived, and among the
Indians was the chief, Oo-chee, or Rat
Ting Gourd, broken hearted man. He
was moody and distracted and refused
all invitations 10 the council house and
would partake Of no festive enjoyments
whatsoever but spent the most Of his
time at the graves Of his wife and child
farther up the valley. At last on emorn-
ing he was missed from his accustomed
place By the campfire, and an alarm was

Of them bethought them Of his fondness
for the spot where his loved ones slept
and went in search Of him there. And
there they found him. Weltering In his
own blood, his body lay between the lit
tie mounds that covered his squaw and
papoose. In some way he had secreted
bayonet when the Indians were being
disar1ncd, and brooding over his removal
he became desperate, and seeking that
lone spot he chanted his death song, fell
upon the point Of the bayonet which

Through His Body.


Through His Body.
Edward A. Cummings is 81 years
old, healthy and robust, and by occupa-
ton a stationary engineer in Lyons,
Wayne county. On the morning of June
7 last Mr.. Cummings oversight him
self, and upon getting up found that he
had but few moments in which to get
to work. To make matters worse, the
rear collar button on his shirt was gone.
He looked around and espied a sewing
needle, the eye Of which he had broken
off in sowing on a button few days
previous. With this eyeless needle the
shirt ends were pinned together, the
needle doing duty as a button. The
needle staid in position all right until
evening without any discomfort to Mr..
Cummings.
In the evening as he was about to &c
to bed Mr.. Cummings reached behind
his head to remove the needle and was
surprised to find that it was gone Two
days later Mr.. Cummings began to feel
excruciating pains in the right shoulder
and down the right side. These pains
were so severe that on July 10 he was
obliged to quit work and consulted DR..
Myron Z. GARNER, who. thinking that
rheumatism was to blame, prescribed
liniments and mustard plasters, both Of
which were used with good effects, and
at the end of a week Mr.. Cummings
went to work again.
Then the pains began bothering him
again, and seemed to keep moving down
the right side, lower each day. 1t was
with great difficulty that Mr.. Cummings
was able to keep his position until March
28, when he resigned, saying that he
was bothered so much by rhuematism
that he must leave the place, as it was
damp. On April Mr. Cummings was
seized with sharp pains right below the
right hip, which bothered him so much
that he began an investigation, which
revealed little bunch about the size Of
a pea. The spot was very much infam-
ed and applications of IMMINENT did not
allay the pain.
At last Mr.. Cummings went 70 DR..
NJ. A. Veeder's Office and submitted tc
an examination. After examining the
inhamed spot DR.. Veeder prescribed lini-
ment and hazarded the opinion that q
carbuncle might be forming. The SICK
man managed to walk home and got &c
his room, when he was seized with more
intense pain than ever before. 1t seemed
as if his clothing was irritating some
thing and was driving it into his flesh,
He removed the clothing from the par
affected and discovered the red spot, and
in the center Of it something protrudinl
a short distance which looked black III
rubbed his hand over the spot lightly
and gave a shrek Of agony. He ther
grabbed hold Of the black object and
pulled out the headless needle, which
was discolored but not rusty. The next
morning Mr.. Cummings showed DR..
Veeder the needle, at the same time re-
calling the instance when he had used
it to do duty in place Of button Since
removing the needle Mr.. Cummings ha'
experienced no pains Buffalo Express
