New Homes.

The new homes being built in the
southern portion OF the city on Mill
street by w. L. White and Thad Lee
will change entirely that part Of the
street leading into Union City from
Gibbs. The houses will both be of a
modern pattern. Mr.. Lees is a bunga-
low nearing the stages Of completion
and Mr.. Whites in the framework.
The buildings face south and stand well
back into the lots, giving plenty Of lawn
space, which will be improved with paw
ing and turf. That locality will appear
almost entirely different to strangers
coming into Union City from the sta
ton at Gibbs.
Mr.. Ed Kirkland's new cottage homes
on Second street are about finished COM
pIete with water, lights and sewerage
connections. That part OF the city is
greatly improved with these new homes,
which we understand have already been
rented.

Again did Pushmataha make good
his boast. For he not only captured
and burned the Greek fort at Tusca-

Creek allies Of the British with such
them. From the government troops he

He led 500 Indians and was in &C

Most Of the time he was under Gen.
Andrew Jacksons orders. and he took
part in no less than twenty-four
fights
When 1t came to signing a notable
treaty between his people and the gov
eminent in 1920 he displayed genius
for craftsmanship and shrewd diplo-
matte wisdom that amazed the presi-
dents agents. Gen. Jackson. who
himself was noted for sharp diplo-
macy, is said to have confessed then
that in Pushmataha he had met his
match at bargain-driving. He said
later. "Pushmataha is the bravest.
greatest Indian | have ever known"
Four years afterward another Choc-
taw treaty was negotiated This time
Pushmataha insisted on coming in
person to Washington. He sent word
to President Monroe:
II desire to brighten the chains of
peace between the Americans and the
; Choctaws."
A Visit of State.
So to Washington he came. There
he was received with high honors by
president and cabinet He visited
Gen. Lafayette, saw the sights of civ
ilization and met with an ovation that
would have turned the brain of a les

old Indian preserved his lofty dignity
of maner. He allowed none of the be-
wildering new experiences to amaze
or disturb him He was as one mon

died there. He knew he was dying.
His last request was that he be buried
with the honors accorded to officers
of high rank and that cannon be fired
over his grave.
His wishes were carried out in ev-

Pushmataha

A Choctaw war party sprawied
around their campfire after the battle.
That day they had fought the Usage
tribe from west of the Mississippi.
Each brave was telling of his own
deeds of heroism. Suddenly some one
asked what had become of Pushma-
taha, lad of twenty who had march

day. He had vanished just before the
conflict began.
Pushmataha was the laughing stock
of his tribe He was forever talking.

He was forever Boosting, and he had
done nothing thus far to warrant his
boasts. Now. while his name was still
banded about the campfire, with
sneers at his cowardice In Sinking

A howl of laughter and derision greet

foes this day than 1" retorted Push

He mad crept up on the Osages
from the rear and, single-handed, had
killed as many as had the boldest war

he received the rank of sub-chief and
the title of Eagle" This was in
1885 Not very long afterward Push
mataha went alone by night to hos

trict, slew seven men and burned part
of the village to the ground. Three
other invasions of the enemys coun-
