Proctors Island. at the old Bob Cornelps
place, known as Little Tallassee, named
after Bobs wife, who was a Tallassee
Indian, and the mother of Alexander
Cornells, who was the United States
Interpreter Polly lived In the McGi!liv-
ray family when Alexander and Sophia
were born and with the celebrated Alex
ander McGillivray, and after his death,
Billy Pantheon, as administrator, sold her
to a half-breed Jim Perryman, son of
her former master. (This man, Pantheon,
was the rich Mobile merchant) And he
sold her TO ChehawMicco. When the In
dams emigrated In the year 1886. she and
old Rose were left with me. and l car
rfed then to Arkansas when / removed
there. Polly was the mother of the ia
nous Siro, who was supposed to have
been killed In the Pea river fight, In the
year 1887. She died In the year 1886 and
said she was lib years old, and / think
she was but little short of that She was
by far the most intelligent negro / ever
knew. In those days the slaves we're
generally kindly treated they had but
few cares. were well fed, clothed and
housed. One of their leading traits in an
intellectual sense was their wonderful
memory. You may take an old negro
who has lived for two or three genera
tons In family and he can tell you the
names OF the Oldest GOWN u tne young
est For the want OF n paper record they
register these things in their heads. The
recollection of family names for few
generations back is thing which a very
large portion of the American people are
deficient In. Indian negroes. generally,
have double advantage in the recollec-
ton of events, II not of names. over the
negroes raised among the whites. They
were raised to man or womanhood with
their owners. and In many instances they
were better raised. always on an equal
ity as far as food and labor were con-
eerned, and ss out Of 100 speak the Eng
fish as we'll as the Indian language. Near
Nv all of them at some time or other are
used as interpreters, which affords them
an opportunity to gather information that
many of their owners never have. and
nearly all have lived a part Of their lives
IN English, French or Spanish families.
The Indians speak but one language hu-
entity. namely their native tongue.
AS an instance of the confidence reposed
in them I will say that when old Mr.. Nc
c,illivray took his two children and faith
ful servant, old Charles. TO Savannah. he
concluded to remain thsrs ana sent

DRAINAGE OF PRIr1E l1POR.
rANcE.

The continued rains last year,
followed by a heavy damage to
the crops in this parish, amount.
ing to thousands of dollars. was
q strong object lesson as to the
Importance of drainage. Had
every field in the parish been
thoroughly drained the loss
would have been to q large extent
prevented. And unless meas.
ures are taken to provide the
parish with drainage we may
look for heavy loss every time a
wet season occurs.
To properly drain the parish
will cost considerable money, but
compared with the, loss to the
crops, unless it is done, the cost
should not be counted. for the
reason that the saving made by
drainage will as an actual fact
mean q gain to the farmers.
A second consideration and an
important one. is the improve.
ment that is sure to result in the
roads. Roads properly drained
are easily kept in good shape.
and . saving will thus be made in
the cost of working the roads.
Besides, good roads are q further
saving in that they reduce the
wear and tear on wagons, bug.
Ries and vehicles of all kinds and
so lengthen their term of service.
Further, we must not overlook
the fact that the price of farm
products is the price in town or
