False News in Kansas.
From the Arcadia Sunlight

From the Arcadia Sunlight.
From some unaccountable source one
day last week the word was passed
around that William Fowler was mar
ried. The news put new enthusiasm
into some of the boys and they began
to gather up bells. timber and other
paraphernalia for long and loud
serenade. When ready with all the
noisy and Gathering material they
could muster they made a raid on the
home of Mr.. Fowler and before he
could make calculations as to what
was causing the storm the noise came
in such membrane tympanic shocks
that he could scarcely maintain his
equilibrium, but in time he persuaded
the boys that he was not married and
they retired quietly to their homes.

"By lingo. "
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
The term by lingo was many years
old when it gave birth to the lingo 1t
was originally used as a conjurer's ex-
clamation, My jingo," and it appears in
Motteux's translation of Rabelais publish
ed in 1894 where the French original is
par Dieu." Goldsmith also uses 1t both
in the Vicar of Wakefield" and She
Stops to Conquer" But the idea that
jingo is short for that most respectable
saint, ST Gengulphus, is one of the
jocular fancies OF the author of the

OFFICER RIGSBY
CONVERTS HIS MAN
CROWDED CONDITION OF DEPOT
ON SUNDAYS A MOST NOTICE
ABLE FEATURE.

While endeavoring to subdue an
over boisterous negro woman at the
depot Sunday Special officer Roy
Rigsby was interfered with a negro
named Foster, who will likely be slow
to undertake such job in the future.
1t is stated that he used profane
language and pushed the officer, and
when he walked up he was in position
to recognize the authority of the Of
ficer, but he was locked up.
The crowded condition of the depot
on Sunday by negroes who have no
other business than to sight see, and
who mingle with the white people
and who interfere with the legitimate
traffic, both freight and passenger. is
most noticeable. At almost every
other station on the road from Co
lumbia to the Tennessee river the ne
groes are kept to themselves and not
allowed to crowd the platforms and
depots to the disadvantage Of white
people and those who are there for
the purpose of transacting business

CHOCTAW INDIAN

"PoNY" GRIFFIN OBSERVES HIS

MURFREESBORO, Tenn, July 20
--Isah Peter Griffin, better known as
Pony" Griffin, probably the only
Ifull-blooded Choctaw Indian living in
this section of the State, celebrated
his ninety-fifth birthday anniversary
today at his home near Smyrna
This old man has very interesting
history and IL of pleasing personality
and remarkably preserved, retaining
the characteristic traits peculiar to
his race in prominent degree.

which occurred in 1885, he came to

Presided. Pony" married half breed
by whom he has eleven children, all
|of whom are living and are residents
of this county. He served in the Con-
federate army and is said to have
made splendid soldier. Although
ninety-fiye years old he stands as
erect as most men at fifty and his
vision is splendid. He performs his
regular farm labors day after day and
can do smuch as the average farm
hand.
He and his family have always
been held in the highest esteem by
their neighbors, and, although he has
raised eight Toys, none of them have
ever been involved in any serious
trouble. He has very interesting
collection of Indian relics and trlnk,
cts inherited from his father, all OF
which he values highly and nothing
interests him more than to sit down
and entertain friends with legenda-
ry lore handed down to him by his
father. He is possessed with an in
