7He First Of the Pioneers
 Among ALabana Indians
uene4 Woodward Writes of the Mn Who First Settled Among tb Creek Indians in Which is Nv Alabama.

Geeral Woodward's memory, In the instdmeut of his "Reminiscences here
 pubthed, runs backwa to his ear lisstdays in the Creek Nation. and he writs of the first of the pioneers. He
 tellj of the families who moved in whA the country was yet the Creek Nabn and before the time appeared, whh the Indians would be forced to abhdon their lands to the whites. The na}es with the scenes and incidents tht they call up will be of special inkrest to many Alabam!ans for the detehdants of many of those, of who hdtreats yet live in Alabama and ad- 1ohing states. Many of the white men a(mentions came to the Creek Nation bkore 1900. Many more came in the yhrs between 1900 and 1920.
 General Woodward first came to the Qeek Nation about 1872 At that time tie government had Indian agents In Alabama and Georgia even as the gov tnment keeps Indian agents in Okla homa to this day These Indian agents with a few Indian traders and Indian countrymen and their families made up the population.
 Col. Hawkins. of whom he writes was the most distinguished and best known agents ever sent to the Creeks He visited the site of what Is now Montgomery in 1907. Hhe was then on a tour of inspection of the various In- dian towns, one of which was located on the blun of the river where @ part of West End Is now located. Another town in Autauga county at the site of old Washington. Coosa near the pre- sent station of that name up the river, was an important village. The In- dian town of Tuskegee was located at Fort Toulose at the Junction of the Coosa and the Tallapoosa. But the principal city of the Indians was at Tuckabatchy, a short distance from the present town of TaIlassee, the site of which is on the plantation of Walter Sistrunk.
 In his reports Col. Hawkins de- scribes each of these Indian towns to- gether with what progress the Indians had made towards agriculture and with the number of gun men" each village could furnish in case of war. These interesting reports are preserved through the efforts of the Georgia Historical Society-Editoral note.

Or. SUTHERLAND RESI-
DENCE DESTROYED BY FIRE.

The residence property OF DIR.
Sutherland. at the r of First and
Washington streets, was almost tot
ally destroyed by fire at Sis last
night. II was a four frame build
ing. one of the first built in that
part of town. The house had been un.
occupied for a year or more and II
was in bad condition. These things
lead to the hints hat il was set afire
by unknown parties. DIR. Sutherland
now lives in his old home in Virginia,
where he lived before coming here
nan years ago. The place was not
insured.
When the fire alarm was turned In
last night the house was a mass of
flames and the inside of the building
was well burned out. When the com
pany reached the fire, although a
quick response was made, the hin
giles were burned OFF and nothing but
a shell was left. The company made
quick work with the remaining fire
and in less than five minutes had the
last blaze extinguished, the strong
city water pressure proving a splen-
did fire fighter. The time being right,
a great crowd of people went out To
see the excitement.
