The Settlers Interest.

lhe Settlers Interest.
The Pioneer Press, in it's issue
Of March II, seems TO cast doubt
on the willingness of the general
land Office to adjust the bound
aries of it's land districts to suit
the convenience of the settlers.
If the Pioneer Press knew the
commissioner of the general land
office better, it would understand
what he has repeatedly said, that
he proposed to handlesthe affairs.
Of his Office for the benefit Of the
majority of the actual settlers on
public lands.
The settlers in the northern
part Of Itascal county, which was
originally attached to the Cass
Lake land district and later de-
tached and added to the Duluth
district, last January circulated
and presented to the honorable
commissionerof the general land
office a strong petition asking that
the above mentioned territory be
attached to Che Cass Lake dist
|srict, the Cass Lake Office being
much nearer and more easily
accessible tllansthe Duluth Office.
The commissioners decided to
send a personal representative
among the settlers and signers Of
these petitions to verify their
signatures and learn on the
~ 2 4ssfs--.
ground their sentiments.
The Pioneer Press states that
the special agent so designated
by the commissioner, Z, 7. How'd,
has been detained from crying
out his mission on account of
sickness in his family, but that
his report is expected soon at the
general land office. IL Mr.. How'd
makes a thorough investigation
of the wishes of the settlers in
that territory, he will find them
almost to man in favor Of the
re attachment to the Cass Lake
district, and tits only to be hoped
he will make the trip into that
territory, for although a mere
glance at the map is sufficient to
convince almost any man that
the request of the settlers ought
to be granted, personal inspec:-
tion will better advise the com
missioner as to the desirability
of the change. The commissioner
has stated, since this controversy
was started, that the wishes Of
the settlers should control and
that is all the settlers ask, for
their wish is to'a man n favor Of
the change.

sketch of Gen. John b. Gordon, in
which he claims, on the authority of a
soldier in Gordon's regiment, that he
was never a lieutenant colonel This
is another case of the blind leading
the blind" Gordon was the first ma
Jor, the second lieutenant colonel and
the second colonel of the Sixth Ala
bama Infantry before he was promoted
to be brigadter general. His youth
full but heroic brother, Capt. A. M.
Gordon, was the third major and the
fifth lieutenant colonel of the regiment,
and fell at Charlottesville at the head
of his command. Lieut.. Thompson also
errs as to the first colonel of Gordon's
regiment. 1t was not Col. Sewers" as
he says, but Col. John j. Seibels, a ma
tive of South Carolina, but then living
in Montgomery, Ala. He was a man
distinguished alike as a civilian and a
soldier, having been a captain and lieu
tenant colonel in the Mexican War and
military governor of Orizaba, President
Davis had a grudge against him as an
editor, so promoted Col. RodeS ahead
of him, and he resigned and Gordon
became colonel. Thompson calls Rodes,
as others often do, Rhodes.
The death of Adjt. Gen. John s.
Sanders of Maryland calls to mind the
fact, somewhat remarkable. that he

long before all the port knew her pa
thetic history and pitied her unfor-
tunate condition. Hard, rough, mat
ter-of-tact old sea dogs soon fell into
the habit that ever since has pre-
vailed. They knew the pleasure it
gave the girl for them to return her
salutes, and it was a standing order
from ships masters to their crew to
dip flag or blow whistle when 1.-The
Lighthouse Grip saluted.
When the girl recovered from her
aff1lcton she found that she could not
forget her friends the ships. Her
life was still fraught with loneliness,
and Just as when she was deaf and
dumb, she found that her greatest
pleasure still consisted in waving a
welcome to the passing vessels. Nor
did the ship captains see any reason to
cease their acknowledgements even
though the girl no longer was afflicted

thus 1t has continued. And thus, prob
ably, will it continue while Miss Mar

so deeply rooted has the esteem of the

Martus. "Of course / have a few

them so. l do not believe that any
other little girl WAS ever so proud of
her dolls or loved them so dearly as l
did my ships when I was a little bit of
a thing. When girls grow up to be
women they get over their love for
the dolls of their habyhood, but my
love for my ships has ever abided, and
I shall always love them. The cap
tains and the crews are good to me,

them to speak to me as they do. far

Never Christmas passes that Miss

THE LONE LIGHT HOUSE GIRL
story or Miss Martus and Her Life on EIba
Island.
Story Of Miss

Midway between Savannah and the
sea, rising squatly from the marshes of
Elba island, is the cottage home of the
keeper of the range of lights that mark
the channel of the river No other habi-
tat is on the island, and for miles there
is not in any direction, save for those
who pass on the river, any
other living being than the three occu-
pants of the cottage. 1t is a lonesome
existence that those three-mother, son
and daughter, live.
The son is the keeper of the range
lights His time is occupied in looking
after them. The mother has her house
hold duties, to which she insists upon
giving her own personal attention, to
keep her busy. The daughter, Miss
Florence Martus, finds but one pleas
urable pastime in her lonely home
Every craft that enters the port of
Savannah, be it some produce-laden
catboat from one of the South Carolina
islands or be it some big ocean
steamship, knows Miss Martus-knows
her as THE Lighthouse Girl" most of
them by no other name. Yet they have
speaking acquaintance with her, ev-
cry one of them, even though it is but
to speak in the nautical sense, with
two or three hundred yards of the tur-
bid waters of the Savannah interven-
ing.
None Pass without n Salute.
No scow, sloop. schooner, tug, tramp
nor ocean liner can pass the home of
THE Lighthouse Girl" without receiv-
ing a salute. Nor has one Neen known
to pass for years without returning the
salute of Miss Martus. AS soon would
ship think of putting to sea without
compass. To dip flag or send the
pulsing, throaty roar of the siren float
ing over the marshes, in return for the
waving flag or handkerchief of 1.-THE
Lighthouse Girl" is as much a rule in
the local code of river courtesy as is
the yielding of the port berth in pass
ing craft. When a vessel is approach
ing the lighthouse station, either enter
ing or leaving port, eyes are turned to-
ward the cottage. Presently upon it's
porch appears the figure of 1.-THE Light
house Girl" If it be day, she either
dips flag that is run upon a staff her
brother has fashioned for her, or waves
her handkerchief; if it be night, she
signals her welcome with a lantern.
The passing craft, likewise, suit their

For passengers aboard the ocean lin

on or near Elba Island. Her father

until her fathers death, which oc-

Lost Voice and Hearing.
A remarkable occurrence in the life
of Miss Martus is vouched for by her
family and many. other reputable per-
sons. One cold night in the early sos
when she was but a few years old,
she was one of a party that started
from the city for her home on Elba
Island. Precautions against the cold
were inadequate, especially for the ten
der child. She was almost frozen up
on the arrival of the party at the
cottage, and diphtheria followed the
exposure. The attack deprived her of
her speech and her hearing. For
three or four years she was without
these powers, and it was as by a.
miracle that they were restored to her.
In the year 1886 came the terrible
earthquake that wrought such havoc
at Charleston and which was felt in
considerable violence at Savannah.
People here were terrified and so was
the small, lonely family at the light
house station. Mrs Martus and her
son and daughter feared while the
earth beneath them was swaying and
rocking that their last hour had come
but what seemed calamity was real
ly blessing to them. The girl, NOV
ed by the shock of terror, instantly
recovered both her speech and hear
ing, and from that day to this she
has retained them.
Watched the Ships.
1t was during the period of her
great affection that her love for the
passing ships was born, and through
al the years since it has endured
When she could neither hear no speak
1t was her one delight to watch for
the ships. AS they hove into view,
up or down the stream, her
heart would thrill, and in all eager
ness she would await their approach.
Arrived within signalling distance, she
would wave her welcome. 1t was not

The Atlanta Journals correspondent

veteran who did not surrender, nor
was he ever paroled. He was under
Gen. Joseph o. Shelby, whose COM
mand escaped into Mexico at the time
of the surrender, but finally the Next
can authorities ordered them back to
the United States. They returned,
however, too late for a formal surren-

L. Bayse is correct in his statement
made to the Journal correspondent.
Mai. Gen. Phil H. Sheridan, u. S. A,
then in command of the military di-
vision of the Gulf, with headquarters
at New Orleans, under date of Nov.
&C. 1865, made this report to Lieut..
Gen. Grant at Charleston, S. c.: THE
scheme for emigration to Mexico is
now fully organized in the City of
Mexico, with Capt Maury, Sterling
Price and Gen. J. B. Magruder as the
prominent men. They hold titles and
honors from Macmillan" Grant re-
piled that Gen. Sheridan must pre-
serve strict neutrality until Congress
should act. Finally, however, the
Mexican bubble burst and Jack" Ma
gruder and the other Confederates
came home.
One of the best officers Georgia has
given the United States Army from
civil life, is Maj. Frank B. Mccoy of
Augusta, Ga. In that city he was
trained in the military of thirty-five
years ago and then moved to st. Louis.
When Atlanta held her first great
North Georgia Fair and Military con-
test at the old exposition grounds,
Capt. Mccoy brought his company
from st. Louis and the universal YER
dict was that it was the best militia
company ever seen in Georgia. Soon
after Capt Mccoy was appointed a
second lieutenant in the Twenty
fourth United States Infantry QSS6)
and he has steady promotion and inn
portant service up to the present time,
and now goes to the Philippines as
major of the Seventeenth United States
Infantry. The major has been visiting
his brother, w. E. Mccoy in Augusta,
the scene of his early and successful
military training, and shaking hands
with his old comrades and friends. l
refer to this case in order to show the
value of old established, well drilled
military companies, such as Macon,

as feeders to the regular army.
