Sam HOustOn's Son.

One Of the notable characters in Ok
lahoma is Temple Houston, who was
president of the Texas republic. He is
lawyer, living at the town of Wood
ward, OF eccen trio habits and brilliant
abilities. He wears his hair long, af-
fects high-heeled Spanish boots, and
uses a rattlesnake skin for a necktie.
Houston is a thoroughbred frontiers
man and has seen a good deal of rough
life. Without much education he has
managed to acquire a thorough knowl-
edge of law, is an omnivorous reader,
fond Of poetry and possessed Of a fine
sentiment. During his younger years
he led a wild and reckless life,
and has been twice tried for murder.
He is not vicious man, but has an un-
controllable temper, is very sensitive
aud when in liquor is apt to be quarrel
some. OF late, however, he has sober
ed down and is making reputation in
his profession, being considered one Of
the ablest lawyers in this section.
Some time ago Temple Houston had a
fight with Albert Jennings, a profess
ional bandit and outlaw, who was the
terror of Indian Territory. &c killed a
brother of jennings and the latter
swore that he would have Houston's
life for vengeance.
The father of the Jennings boys was
a man of prominence and high charsC-
ter, who served for several terms as a
Judge of the territorial courts, and AL
bert jennings himself was once prose-
cutting attorney himself for Canadian
county. After his term expired he
went to practicing law and was regular
ly retained to defend the desperadOes
in the territory who were arrested for
crime. From being their legal adviser
he gradually became mixed up in their
oonspiracies, and after his brother was
killed by Temple Houston he took to
the road himself He was engaged in
train robbery on the Rock Island road
in Indian Territory year or so ago,
and with the rest of the gang was fol-
lowed, captured and sent to the peni-
tentiary for life.
The train robbers have been pretty
we'll cleaned out down in this section.
There are no more organized gangs in
in existence, and the professionals
have all been shot, hanged or sent to
the penitentiary.- W, E. Curtis, in the
Chicago Record.

The Mountain Road.

The two miles Of road up the noun
tain road from Massachusetts, Avenue
in Seouachee to the road on the top Of
Cumberland plateau which leads from
the Hirginbotham Road to Point Wau-
nalancet was completed Saturday, and
the first Of the week we had chance to
inspect it in the first team which passed
over it,
The journey was made in the historic
spring wagon which Col. S. H. Melcher
and family used in their overland jour
ney from South Dacota two years ago,
and the party consisted of Mr. and Mrs.
w. L. Melcher Mrs L. w. Gabel Maj.
and Miss L. II. Hill, with James DAT
from as driver.
The inspection Of the road was very
satisfactory. The road from beginning
to end is completed to grade and we
confess ourselves more than satisfied
with it. Passing as it does through
such picturesque scenery it will be a
favorite walk for the people of Sequa-
chez, as we'll as furnishing the missing
link between the town and valley.
Halfway up we come to the Horse
Shoe Bend, not SO extensive as the
famous one in Pennsylvania, but quite
as pretty. Passing the Golden Stairs
we come to Chalybeate Spring which
will be protected and generally used.
Mr. Melcher informs US that the Sc
uuachee Vineyards will be extended
to the northerly line of the road. This
will more than double the capacity of
the vineyards, which have now more
than local reputation.
The completion of the road means a
good deal if followed up by the proper
efforts. Two years ago when colonists
were talked of We were met by two OBJ
stacles. First, there was no temporary
accommodation for them while being To-
Gated this has been provided for by the
covering OF the Hotel and other build
ings in the town, and second, although
on the foothills of the Cumberland
Mountain there was no carriage road
which could be safely used. Now the
road is made and the obstacles removed
parties who want to locate on the lands
adjacent to town of Sequachee cannot
come too soon.
The building of the road has been un-
der the personal direction of Mr.. W. A.
Brown and his work is we'll done.

Bethany S. S. Picnic.

Bethany Sunday school, of Sequachee
county, went down Saturday morning
on the train on a picnic excursion to
South Pittsburg, The excursion was
largely the compliment OF Mr. Lakey,
their superintendent. They enjoyed
the occasion very much and found q
great many objects of interest in the
manufacturing city of the valley. There
we're three carloads of them and it was
a nicely behaved crowd. Come next
year to Sequachee to our Blowing
Spring and we will see what we can dc
to entertain you.

was very satisfactory. Tue interest

the anniversary services of Bethel Sum

The basket picnic was also greatly
enjoyed and in its entirety the meeting

The Hen and Her Work.

A car load of chickens were shipped
from Bells, Tenn, to New Orleans
Thursday, netting 1860. The chicken
business amounts to as much yearly to
the United States as the cotton crop.
Wouldn't it pay better to raise hens at
20 cents, the lowest market prices, than
SC cotton.--Crocket County Sentinel.
There are in this country to-day in
round numbers 373, ,OSO, 900 hens. Dur
ing the year 1897 these industrious and
unassuming fowls laid IA, 400, OOO, 900
eggs. The export price OF this egg crop
averaged is cents dozen, thus aggre-
eating $3.50, 100000 and poultry sold for
the table brought $125,O0O making q
grand total Of over three hundred mil.
lion dollars. Nor does this include the
many thousands of dollars worth of
fowls and eggs consumed on the farm.
----Crocket County Sentinel
The annual report of the state agri-
cultural society of Kansas eulogizes the
Kansas hen, saying: "While every.

which took the place of beef and milk

ter all these services, surrendered hel

strawberries on our depot platform.

ter he said that he would have quite .
lot of berries to market this season.
He says the berry crop is badly in need
of rain, but the berries are Of extra good
quality and Of fair size. This certainly
clearly demonstrates the fact that small
fruits can be successfully grown in this
Valley. Mr.. G.. Sherman has proved be.
yond doubt that grapes can be raised on
our mountain sides. He has been eK-

little early for snake yarns, but as this
one came under our personal observa-
tion, and we were perfectly sober at the
time, we know that it was no hallucina-
tion when Peter Chambers showed US a
snake with two legs. These members
we're located near the rear portion of
the body, were about one inch long,
and on the end of each was a claw re-
sembling somewhat that Of a hawks
talons, only much smaller. The reptile
was about two feet long, appeared to be
to be of the viper species and was dead
when we saw it; hence we did not get
to see it use its legs in locomotiOn.
