in this way: In 1905 millions OF acres
OF Creek Indian land had been handed
over by the government to the state
OF Georgia. Mcintosh pointed out to
the Creeks that a few more such trans
fers Of their territory would leave
them homeless. Having thus aroused
their fears, he drafted law in 1811--
which they promptly passed in tho

an efense punishable by death for a
Creek to sell any of the land that still
remained. The memory Of the part
Mcintosh had played In framing this
law now stood him in good stead. Lat

death warrant.

BLACK KETTLE

Three hundred French soldiers
started forth IN jubilant spirits from
Montreal. They aimed to raid New
York and to destroy the Iroauois set
Element ct Niagara. It was move
whose perfect success might well
have proved the opening wedge
whereby in time New York would
have become French province.
But between Canada and the set
tied portions OF New York stretched
lands Of the "Six Nations" which
formed the fierce IroQuois confeder-
acy. And It was ostensibly against
the 1roquois that this expedition was
sent. The "six Nations" formed red
barrier between New York and
frances greed.
So sudden was the French invasion
that there was no time to mass q
force Of lroquois strong enough to re-
pei them. But an Onandaga chief Of
the six Nations" known and dreaded

WILD FLOWER MORE
 A BENEFIT THAN NUISANCE
Decision in Debate at Norwich Grange
 Meeting.

Norwich grange. No. 172. Patrons of Husbandry, held one of its pleasant social evenings Wednesday in Pythian hall, which make these gatherings always points of attraction for it's members. After a brief business meeting at which Worthy Master Amos B. Wheeler presided, the lec- turer's hour furnished a highly en- joyable programme. The one item outside of routine business was the appointment of Edward Cook. H. F. Palmer and A. B. Davies as tcom- mittee to draft resolutions upon the death of Sister s. M. Howie.
 Flowers furnished the general sub ject for the lecturers hour, beginning with a roll call on favorite flowers. Edward Cook told in an interesting way of the flowers suitable for the home garden, and Mrs. John E. Fan ming imparted useful information on Indoor Culture of Bulbs.
 A contralto solo, When the Daisies Bloom, was sweetly rendered by Miss Bertha F. Woodmansee and in a march past the Flora's station all received beautiful dahlia bouquets.
 Then came one of the most enter taining features of the evening, de- bate upon the subject: Resolved, That our common wild flowers are more of an annoyance than a benefit to mankind. Jacob Gallup and Gideon Dickson supported the affirmative but were apparently overwhelmed by the arguments of Mrs. H. M Laura Colt and Mrs. J. E. Hall, as the judges rendered a unanimous decision for the two ladies. The judges were A. B. Davies, Miss Mary Wattles and A. B. Clark. Two guessing contests con- cluded the delightful programme un- der Miss Ella c. Lester. the lecturer.
