top of Lookout Mountain
Thousands OF people in this Sec
ton of the state have seen Buffalo
Bill at his circus in Hannibal a
number Of times
Many interesting things can be
found in the following history:
Col Cody VAS born in Scott coun-
ty, Iowa, Feb 26, 1912. He was 10
years old when he accompanied
his father to Missouri and later to
Kansas, where they were among
the first settlers. His father who
became a member of the Territorial
Legislature aud was opposed to
slavery was asSaSsinated in the
Border War" in Kansas. Young
Cody. then ID years old, was left Oh
his own resources with his mother
and two sisters to care for. He
obtained work as one of the Gov
eminent freiehters operating be
tween Salt Lake City and the Mis-
souri, River.
When the pony express" was
started between St. Joseph, Mo },
and San Francisco, Cody promptly
entered the service as rider The
stations for changing horses were
IS miles apart. extending through
q wild and unprotected country
and the position was not only one
of hardship, but of peril and re-
sponsibllity. On an average of
four of the riders were killed by In
dams each month. Cody combin-
ed an uncommon degree of prud. |
ence with absolute fearlessness and
soon gained a wide reputation on
the plains as a daring Indian
fighter.
At the beginning of the Civil
War he enlisted as a scout with
the 7th Kansas Cavalry, first con-
nected with Gen. Blunt's command
and served with Gems. Mcneil and
A j. Smith. At the close of the
war he started a hotel under the |
name of the Golden Rule. In 1856 |
he married Miss Louisa Frederick |
of ST Louis. He contracted to
furnish the Kansas Pacific Railway |
with all the buffalo meat required |
to feed the labOrers engaged in |
building the road and in Is months |
1858, he killed 4.208 buffalos, for
which he came to be known as
Buffalo Bill
But it was in the Indian wars |
that Cody found his vocation. and
began that part of his career which |
gave him prominence as Govern
ment scout and guide
In 1868 1872 he served in the |
operations against the Sioux and
Cheyenne tribes. He was made |
ChieI of Scouts by Gen Sheridan
and received a bonus of ST 900 for |
carrying a dispatch from Fort
Hayes to Fort Dodge In 1872 he |
was elected to the Nebraska Leeis- |
lature.
1t was in this year that Buffalo
Bill" guided the Duke Alexis of
Russia on a buffalo hunt. COdy's
fame as Indian fighter and hunter
had reached the East, and many
New Workers went out to see him
and hunt among the first of whom
were Leonard Jerome, James Cor.
don Bennett, Arson Staeer and j.
G. Hecksher. In return they invit-
ed him to New York, where he saw
his first play, and where he con-
Ceived his first idea of going into
the show business. At that time

Federal Farm Loan Banks.
From the Augusta Chronicle.

From the figures furnished in a recent Of
ticlal statement it is seen that the federal
farm loan banks are getting actively to
work. Kansas, which seems &c be a pretty
live wire in the progressive field, shows the
largest use of this new opportunity. Kansas
heads the list with $3,039 900 of loans made
while Louisiana brings up the rear with only
$3.50.
These figures represent contaminated
loans, and not the amount that has been ap-
piled for Louisiana has filed applications
for loans amounting to 81 1913 ,476, but had
gotten through in the report for October
only the small amount first mentioned. De-
lays result in many cases from faulty titles,
therefore persons desiring to take advantage
of the federal farm loan plan should get
their titles in perfect condition before apply
ing for a federal loan. Some cases have
been cited where such carelessness has
brought failure to obtain loans that other
wise would have been Forthcoming from the
federal banks without delay.
The federal farm loan banks afford the
opportunity to owners of land to secure the
funds for actual development, and there
are millions of idle acres in the South which
might be engaged in growing food crops
for the warning nations. This is patriotic
work, and there is need for all foodstuffs
that can be grown.
The southern and western states show
the largest number of loans made and the
loans represent a total of approximately
5000 organized farm loan associations, half
of which await action by the federal gov
ernment There are approximately 1000
other farm loan organizations in process of
forming, and when their applications for
loans are filed the total will reach something
near S40O,0O0,000 in loans, which will
eventually be approved by the several fed
eral farm loan banks, after all regulations
for such organizations have been complied
with
1t is quite manifest that the public is
ready to avail itself of this opportunity for
forty-five states reported making loans dur
ing October to total amount of S2O,119,-
24O out of applications amounting to $37,-
413,468 filed during the month.

The COMING CHRISTMAS.

We do not hear as much as is usual by
this time in December of the coming of the
Christmas season. There is lacking, it must
be admitted, somewhat of the advance spirit
and talk of past years as regards Christmas.
1t may be believed, however, that the Christ
mas of 1917 will be observed and enjoyed
in Dawson with features of the traditional
nature, renewal of the genial, friendly spirit
more in evidence at Christmas than any
other time The war is on, and its effects
will be felt. We doubt if there will be as
much of giving of presents and generous eX-
penditure of money this year as in the past
but we cannot believe that because of the
war people are inclined to put away all the
impulses and procedure of the time-honored
festival War does not affect and let US
thank God that such is the case) friendship
and esteem, much less the devotion that
people feel for loved ones, and so we make
no doubt there will be goodIy measure of
the old-time ways of past years. There will
be giving of presents and social events and
many people will find in the Christmas fes-
tival the occasion for expression of their
feelings toward loved ones and toward
friends.
Dawson merchants in all lines have antic-
ipated the needs and desires of the season,
and we may see in the stores the displays
of such goods as are most prominent at this
season. AS the days go on the selection and
buying will become more and more gener-
Gus, and by the time the Christmas bells are
ringing we expect to see mighty near all of
the traditional Christmas spirit here and
elsewhere.

POLITICAL CIRCUS COMING.

We have had the circus with three rings
in Georgia and enjoyed it, for the circus is
the most popular amusement of the day, and
it is wholesome in its effect. Truly, it is
productive of great amount of hurry and
hustle, almost confusion, for the one day in
any community it visits, but just the same
few of US would be satisfied if the circus
were to come no more. There is PROMISE
from present indications, that the Georgia
political campaign of 1918 will Guido any
circus in the amount of agitation and con-
fusion it will develop-not to speak of bit
terness and results and tendencies anything
but wholesome for state and people, That
is the outlook now.
The plans and purposes that are in form
ative shape are largely the reflex of personal
ambition, personal rivalries, not to speak of
political ambition.
The political circus of 1918. if it comes
as it is now promised, will not be three
ringed affair. 1t will be bigger, noisier and
pernicious.

Buried Above Ground.

At the old Castle inn at Stevenage, Eng
land, is to be seen curiosity in the shape
of a coffin placed on the rafters of a barn
in the yard of the inn, containing the le-
mains of one Henry Trigg, who died nearly
800 years ago, and who, in his will, left GER
tain sums of money and land to relatives,
on the understanding that he be buried
above-ground, if one can use such paradox.
Trigg's coffin was placed upon the rafters
IN the west end of the barn, and it is to be
seen there at the present time. Many visi-
tors to the town make a special visit ia see
this curiosity. A few years ago some resi-
dents of the town, becoming suspicious as
TO the contents of the coffin, broke it open.
and, finding some portions of the broken
skeleton, hastily retired. The result of their
ghoulish act recessitated repairs to the cot
fin, which now has two supporting bands
round it.
