AN EARLY BATTLE
Between the Cherokee and
Usage Indians.
BYsTHE FAITHFUL cHRoNIoLER.

By the side OF that wild noun.
tain road that leads from Going
Snake down into Flint and Sequo-
yah, If the travellers will watch
closely as he goes along, be will
see a small conically shaped pile
of sand stone; the stones are un-
hewn and in their natural state.
The pile is, or was when we saw
it last, about ten feet from base to
apex. 1t stands in a desolate and
sterile place; it looks as though no
human being could ever have any
occasion for being there at all, ex-
cept on some desperate errand or
purpose. And SO it was.
That pile marks the battle
ground of fight between the
Osages and the Old Settler Chero-
KEGS. The ground originally be-
longed to the former; but the gov
ernment in the early part of the
present century ceded the tract to
the Cherokees. She did not put
the grantees into peaceable posses-
sion of the territory, but left them
to expel the former inhabitants,
(Osages and other unsettled tribes)
by the force of arms.
This pile marks the place where
the Cherokees gained one of the
victories over the enemy which
left them finally in quiet posses
sion of the country.
There is no written history Civ
ing an account of the affair; but
misty tradition gives us this kind
of story in regard TO the real
facts which this pile Of mossy
stone is designed to commemorate.
Capt. Dutch, fullblood, was in
command OF the Cherokee forces.
A scout came dashing into the
Cherokee camp one evening about
sunset and reported that the
Osages, headed by Black Dog, was
seen up to the north, all in paint,
equipped, and evidently contem-
plating an attack upon the intrud-
ers, as the Cherokees were then
designated by the original inhabi-
tants. There was no time to lose;
and Capt. Dutch argued, and cor
rectly too, that complete surprise
upon the enemy would be the best
possible guarantee of victory. Ac-
cordingly he put his command in
motion; the night was dark, and
the ground, wholly unexplored,
was rendered most difficult OF pass
age by means Of untrodden thick.
cts, mountain ledges, and preci-
pices. About three o'clock in the
morning, they caught the gleam of
the Usage camp fires. The Cher
okees drew as near as possible
without causing alarm to the en-
emy. and lay themselves down up
on their arms to vait for the dawn.
The unfortunate neigh Of horse
among the Cherokees, gave the
Osages notice that something was
up, and that danger was near. The
east had not yet by any means be-
gun to open the gates Of the morn
ing; it was still dark as night, only
q faint simmer of skylight fell
upon the forests and rendered the
outline Of moving objects visible. |
The Osages sprang to arms. The
Cherokees followed the example. |
with a yell, the thunder Of charg-
ing hoofs, and the rattle Of rife |
shots. The Osages were overborns
by the onslaught and svept from
the field. They fisd, leaving their |
baggage and ponies on the ground. |

MuANisto have a new telephone

ephone Company and other local
telephone companies in West Ten
nessee. Local telephone companies
are springing up all over West Ten
nessee aud Southern Kentucky to
fight the Cumberland company.
Consolidation at actual capitaliza-
ton we may expect to take place,
and it will prove no mean rival to
the Cumberland in this section Of
the State.-Huntingdon Republi-
can.
IfCamden wants to get in on the
ground floor" so to speak, of such
an organization we should not delay
organizing a local exchange. 1t is
badly needed, there is no question
about that, and we prefer a home
company because we believe that It
would be more economical for our
citizens and more satisfactory than
the foreign company. The Carroll
County Democrat says:
"The Carroll County system is
giving complete satisfaction, so
much SO, atleast, that the people of
Mckenzie are giving up the Cum
berland service and taking the Car
roll County service, the latter COM
pany having about one hundred
subscribers at that place while the
former has run down to very few. "

DIED.


There was a gloom cast over the
town Wednesday morning by the
death Of Mrs. Bateman, wife Of J.
j. Bateman. Surrounded by her
husband, children, relatives and
friends she quietly and peacefully
crossed the Jordan of death, in the
full assurance of a christians faith.
Her illness was protracted month
after month, during which, at times,
she suffered intensely, all of which
was borne with the fortitude of
christian; patient and submissive,
she realized that her present Attic
tions were but for a moment, while
her faith said the afterward would
be glorious. AT an early age she
joined the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, and for nearly fifty
years Mrs. Bateman had exempH-
fed the beauties of the true faith by
example and by precept, and many
of her acts will live to attest that
the world is better for her having
lived in it, because a righteous act,
and a word of christian encourage
ment is deathless. Any consola-
ton that we might offer her grief
stricken husband and relatives
would seem in vain, yet we feel that
she has passed all earthly sorrow
into that city on high where all is
peace, JOY and happiness. Funeral
services were held at the Methodist
Church Wednesday afternoon, con-
Quoted by Rev. N. r. Waters, and
were largely attended. The inter
-ment was at Camden Cemetery.
