Indian gets its name from
its being a mping ground for
the Choctaw dians and Raven
craft creek derives it's name from
William Ravenclaft, who settled
there about 1880 and built a grist
mill and was a manufacturer of
looms, shuttles, spinning wheels,
reels, chairs and other furniture,
all made by hand.
An amusing story was once told
about Ravencraft's mill, by Thorn
as j. Connally, a blacksmith, the
sage and wit of Possumtrot. Of
whom will be written hereafter.
The mill was very slow running
affair and needed only to be start
ed in the morning with the hop
per full Of corn, and the mill man
might 90 about his business.
Late one night, Tom ConnalIy
said he was passing near there and
heard a dog barking and supposed
he had freed a possum and he
went to see about it. When he
got there he found the dog in the
meal box and the mill grinding
corn as it TUNED around, plack-
er placker placker placker, Z the
dog would lick up the meal and
then raise his head and bark for
more; and this was the possum
that Tom ConnalIy, alias ITALIA
boleyv found the dog had freed at
Ravencrafts mill. The old mill
stones are lying there now, in the
bottom of the creek, which should
be secured and erected as tablet
to the memory Of its ingenious
owner whose mechanical skill was
essential to the times, in the man
.ufacture Of wagons, looms, spin
ming wheels and reels and other
necessary articles in newly set

the claim of the clearinghouse mana

curing workmen they are said to be
making very strong efforts to induce
their former employees to return to

to induce their husbands to return to

The firm of SchwarZschild & Sulz-

BATTLES HAVE BEEN FIERCE
Recent Battles In ManChuria Have Been of
Desperate Character and Many Men
Were Lost.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 4.-Whether a
general engagement is already prog.
ressing around Liaoyang between the
forces of General Kuropatkin and the
three Japanese armies which have
been moved against them from the
south and east the decisive battle OF
the campaign is regarded as certain
if the Japanese energetically follow
up their preliminary successes of the
last three days. At various points the
fighting has been of a desperate and
bloody character, the Russians offer
ing the most stubborn resistance.
The losses, therefore, although their
extent is not yet established, must be
heavy on both sides. Between 5000
and 5000 men is one estimate given OF
the Russian losses. All the estimates,
however, are itee better than guess
work as yet and possibly the Russian
casualties may be much larger.
The strong screen drawn around
General Kuropatkins interior posi-
tions has been driven in at all points,
Haicheng being practically abandoned
without blow. The pressure of the
Japanese numbers and the failure TO
hold the northern positions rendered
