highly civilized, had considerable
wealth, owners of slaves, and, like
the old Anglo-Saxons, were great
road makers. They claimed their an
cestors came from Roanoke and
boasted of the English blood that
ran in their veins. Grants of land
were made to the tribe by King
George II of England, and they still
hold much of the land and have add
ed to it, unit they are in possession of
thousands of acres in Robinson coun-
ty-their stronghold in the South.
Henry Barry and James Lowrie,
yet at the head of the Croatans of this
section, are undoubtedly lineal de-
scendauts of Henry Barry and James
Lowrie, whose names appear on the
roll of the colony and who landed at
Roanoke in 1887. One of the strong.
est proofs that the members of the lost
colony. after giving up being found by
their English friendsintermarried with
he Croatans is the fact that at least
forty out of ninety family names
found on that colony roll are still re-
tained by the Croatans of Robinson
County, North Carolina. In addition
to this a great many of the other
names, with a slight change in the
spelling, are in use among them. For
instance, "Dare" is spelled "Daure," "
and it is remarkable fact that the
surnames are retained, being repeated
over and over, and handed down from
generation to generation, 90 that on
the school rolls are found substantial
ly the same names today that appeared
on the list published in England after
the calamity that was supposed to
have befallen the colony.
This tribe is known to have found
the interior of North Carolina as early
as 1850, and in the early history of
the State are designated "free persons
of color" They live in very primi-
tive style, raising their own fax, spin
ming and weaving the cloth from
which their clothes are fashioned.
Their chief town, "Stumetown," is
village of small houses. log or frame,
all built along one street. They have
church of their own, in which there
is a mingling of true religion and In
dian superstition.
Blue eyes and auburn hair are by
no means rare among them. though
as a rule they retain the dark eyes
and long black hair of the Indian race.
However, their oomplexions are fairer
and their features finer than those of
other tribes 80 that even at the dis
tance of three hundred years from the
amalgamation of the races the English
blood in their veins asserts its right
Of way and makes them different from
other tribes of their own race.
They have a tradition that some of
the proud English" who would not
mingle with them, went off, far toward
the sunset, and lived and died away
from their half.Indian friends. An
other tradition among them is Of the
white Angel" doubtless virginia
Dare" who when she grew up. led her
people hither and thither, but always
right, and at last, when her work on
earth ended she few upward, the sky
opening to receive her, from which
place she still watches over the tribe,
a guardian angel to each dusky maid
en-, whose promised reward for good,
pure life is that in the eternal city
she shall be all white and fair and
lovely like to the "White Angel" who
now keeps solemn vigils over her.

Ida, the seven-year-old daughter of James King, who lives four miles northwest of Conway, was bitten by a snake last Sunday.

It was supposed to have been a rattle snake and was about three feet long. Dr. James Muse of this city was called to dress the wound, and reports the little girl out of danger

petition was circulated and
 largely signed asking the prose cutting attorney to close every store and market and stop the ice
 wagons and street cars. It Is
 hoped thus to make the Sunday law enforcement so repugnant even to those who are now de- manding it that the Gid" may be entirely removed without pro- test. The Epworth League of Carlisle, Ark, has also caught the spirit of the hour and has promulgated some ringing reso- lutions against the festive Sab bath breaker. They demand that henceforth on Sunday the dairies cease to extract the milk from the COWS; that rice farms desist from pumping water to ir- rigate the crops; that the electric light plant stop running, because, the resolutions state, Git pre- vents one of our league mem- bers from attending divine wor- ship" About the only thing needed in the enforcement of the Sunday laws is the exercise of little common sense. Saloons and stores should certainly be closed. A day of rest should be guaranteed to all laborers. But all attempt to drive people into the churches by closing every other place where they might be permitted to gather is, we think, a short-sighted policy upon the part of those who have the best interests of Sabbath ob- servance at heart.

He found the original draft of the treaty made between the United States and the Quapaw Nation for a tract of land described as follows: Beginning at the Post of Arkansas, on the Arkansas river thence up the Ouachita to the Saline Fork thence northeast to the Arkansas river at Little Rock, thence to the point of the beginning. For this great area, now comprising some of the richest counties of the State, the Quapaws were to be paid S1 ,ooo a year for period of eleven years, in addition to their annuities. The yellowed document is badly worn in many places. It is signed by Robert Crittenden as United States commissioner, Thomas w.
