His Prescription

His father has pronounced partial
ity for Bill, and the l3tter is diplomat
enough to work this feeling of his faith
er's whenever an opportunity offers.
Quite recently young William injured
his hand severely, and when his father
returned home he inquired: "Well,
Bill. how's the hand?" Seeing his
father vas in a mellow mood, William
answered: Il think some ice cream
would help it."

ccmpanied this detachment as far as
Memphis, Tenn, having charge of his
fathers wagons which were engaged
in their removal. The cholera was
epidemic in Memphis at that time
and FASTENED his return home. Among
the. Indians who remained in Lown-
DIES county, accepting the reservation
of land allowed them by the terms
of this treaty, were the noted family
of Pytchlyns. John Pytchlyn, Sr.,
was an Englishman by birth and be-
gan to live among the Choctsws soon
after the Revolutionary War. He
was for forty years before the Dan
cling Rabbit treaty, G83O) an inter
prefer for the United States govern
ment. He resided on the west size
Of the Robinson road about four/and
half miles from Columbus, N the
plantation owned by Mai Iichard
t. Brownrigg, father of/Or. John
Brownrigg and Mrs. WIdeI, Of this
city. Major Brownrigg lived in the
house. built and occupied by Maj,
Jack ,Pytchlyn, as he was Familiarity
called; it was large house Of twelve
or fourteen rooms, very comfortable
and commanded a fine view Of the
Robinson road, and the prairies in
front and south. The Pytchlyn bur
ial ground was situated within the
home enclosure, protected by a pick
ct fence, and was kept in repair by
Major Brownrigg until he moved t.
Columbus in 1889. The plantation is
now owned by Mr.. Robert Williams.
The residence is all gone and only a
few elm trees mark the grave yard.
The reservation Of land, about 6000
acres, owned by the Pytchlyn family
extended from the M. and O. branch
rallroad, crossing on both SIDES OF the
Robinson road, as far as the presen.
store of Col. w. D. HUMPHREYS, The
Pytchlyn family sold all their land
TO white settlers prior to 1896. I
Maj. Jack Pytahlyn lad four sons
and several daughters. He had two
sons by his first wife, Ga half-breed
Choctaw) Jack ard Peter, and two
by his last, Silas Thomas. His sec
ond wife was a widow with grown
sons. Peter Pytchlyn lived on the
plantation afterward called Longwood
the residence of Hon Joseph B.
Cobb, near Cobb switch, (the resi-
dence of Hon. w. L. Smith.)
Jack Pytchlyn lived at the family
homestead, and in alteration at the
breakfast table or at a social gath
ering in the neighborhood killed his

step-brother with a blow of his tom
ahawk. His step-mother was absent
from home at the time; on her re-
turn she avenged the death of her sor
by securing the murder of Jack
Pytchlyn by persons hired for that
purpose. He was murdered near OLD
Hamilton or Cotton Gin Port. Some
Of the Pytehlyn daughters or grand
daughters were educated at the ole
Franklin academy, to which school
they rode every day on their Indian
ponies; 9thers were educated at Nash
vile, Ienn., and correspondent with
theV white friends and neighbors, the
eNer Prowells and Canfields with
Whom they were well acquainted.
Peter Pytchlyn, after the sale of
his lands in Lowndes county, moved
to the Chortaw Nation west of the
Mississippi river, was for many years
representative of that nation in
Washington.
Maj Jack John Pytchlyn, Sr.,)
died at his home in Columbus in the
fall of 1885. He was buried, temper
arily, in a field directly in front of
the Waverly mansion. His grave was
enclosed for several years by a good
brick wall. His widow paid one or
two annual visits to keep the grave
in good repair. After one of the
visits the grave had the appearance
Of having been opened. The neigh
bors supposed that Mrs. Pytchlyn
had taken up the remains and took
them with her to the Nation, especi-
ally as she returned no more. A large
oak tree immediately over the grave
and few scattered brick mark the
spot where he was buried.
The funeral was conducted after
the manner Of the Choctaws and all
his war equipments were deposited
with the coffin. His old war horse
was also brought to be killed and
buried in the grave, but Judge Sam
uel Gholson, of Aberdeen, who was
present, interposed and assured the
widow that horse suiting his rank
would be furnished him by the Great
Spirit in the Happy Hunting Ground.
She consented to spare the horse.
Daniel w. Ragsdale was also present
at the funeral.
The temporary interment accounts
for the fact of a Choctaw chiefs bur-
ial in the Chickasaw territory.

EARLY SETTLERS
The enlargement Of Lowndes county
by the addition Of that section Of
the county west Of the Tombigbee
River, included a portion of land north
of the Tibbee Creek, about 10000
acres which belonged to the Chiska-
saw Nation. These lands came into
market in 1885, and were soon re-
garded extremely fertile and specially
adapted to the growth of cotton, the
rock underlying the soil being at a
lower depth, thus allowing the tap
root more easily TO descend and OBJ
tain moisture during the summer
months in which matured its crop
of fruit.
Lands with shallow soil were better
adapted to the growth of corn when
was supported almost entirely by
surface roots and could be made be-
fore the summer drouths appeared.
These Chickasaw lands attracted
the attention Of settlers from the old
err states, among whom was Col. Geo.
II. Young, from Georgia, who came
out to examine and select lands for
his friends at home. Col. Young
soon became acquainted with their
location and merit, and attended the
land sales at Pontotoc in 1885. Gen
HUMPHREYS represented the govern
ment at these sales and Col. Young
was made his secretary. After the
sales he assisted several of the land
spcculators in disposing of their pur-
chases am bought for himself five
sections of The prairie land from
Jones Colbert, awhile settler among
the Chickasaws Of considerable note.
He lived in the prairlSs a short dis
lance from West Point. ~ The prairie
was called Colbert prairie AFTER him,
as was also the ferry over the Tom
bigbee river at the county line. Gal
Young first settled on his prairie
farm, but afterwards moved to the
bluff on the Tombigbee River, then
known as Mulen's bluff. He bought
out Mullen and Beai and Bigbee, thus
making it a large estate and a per-
manent home for himself and family
He called the place "Waverly" and
continued his Improvements until he
made it one Of the most beautiful
and noted country places in northeast
Mississippi. His home mansion was
very large two-story, many roomet
house, equal to the entertainment o.
his sons and daughters and their fam.
lilies and their numerous friends. He
planted orchards, had kennels OF
hunting dogs, fishing boats and erect
ed bath houses at the artesian wei
near the house. He built warehouses
erecte a store and a large saw anc
grist mill, and operated the ferry
thus making the place assume thc
appearance of a handsome village
Col. Young was a prominent Lown
des county politician and was wei
acquainted with men of state and ma
tional reputation. He was a prosper
Gus planter and continued adding {,
his lands until his estate was egua

to any in the country. After his
death his estate passed into the hands
of his family, several of whom live
in Columbus. He had six sons, Watt.
Valley, Beverly, Thomas, Erskine.
James and Wi!lssE Lowndes. Mai.
Valley and W. L. still survive and live
on their paternal estates. His daugh-
tiers, Mrs. Sue Chambers, Mrs. Geor-
gia Young, and Mrs. ]. o. Banks
live in Columbus at this time and
still own large farms out Of the pa
ternal heredity. Mrs Reuben 0. Rey-
nolds lives in Aberdeen. The WAY
erly homestead is the property Of Mr.
w. L. Young.

This section of the county in 1871
was set off by legislative enactment
to Colfax, now Clay county, not
withstanding the vigorous protest Of
the citizens of Lowndes. The matter
occupied the attention of two SEES
sions Of the Legislature, and was at
last concluded by providing that
Colfax county should pay her share
Of the Lowndes county debt which
had become very large under the ear
pet bag rule. Lowndes county lost
by this transaction between 10000
or $4,000 acres of her most fertile
and valuable lands.
Plymouth.
Four miles below, the Waverly
bluff there was another bluff which
on account of its ancient traditional
Importance, was called by its ear
lest settlers, Old plymouth, and was
claimed by some to have been the
camping ground Of DeSoto in his
passage through Mississippi Many
scraps of old armor and pieces Of
pottery and war implements of Span
ish manufacture were found there and
they claim also that it was strong
hold Of defense against the Indians
and a deposit for munitions Of war
and provisions for the use of the
army operating in this section of the
country.Some claim that it was for
titled by Bienville and that he made
it his place Of deposit in his opera
tions against the Chickasaws and not
Cotton Gin Port, as ii is stated in the
histories Of the state. Remains Of
the Notifications existed within the
knowledge of our old settlers, es-
pecially that of a large fort, inside
the Notifications, built Of cedar logs
two stories in height and perforated
with port holes above and below for
the use Of firearms by the defendants
within. This cedar fort was taken
down by the Canfields who now own
Old Plymouth, and was used to build
other houses on the plantation, which

are still IN a good state of preselva-

by General Jackson in his operations
against the Greeks and was the base
Of supplies. Until history makes q
more satisfactory explanation Of the
old Spanish relics, stockade fortifi.
cations, and cedar forts, our Lowndes
county traditions are as credible as
any account given.
After the settlement Of the Chloe
taws land began, Old Plymouth be-
came a site of considerable ,impor-
tame on account of its facilities for
crossing the river at a shallow ford
near by, and as place for the stor-
age and shipment Of cotton. 1t was
also considered a beautiful spot with
its prodigious growth of large eedars
for the location of the homes Of the
families Of the neighboring settlers.
James Frowell, ST., Orlando Can
field, sr., John Morgan, Sr., and
John Cox, ST., built residences there.
The Irbys, Billingtons and Mullins
erected warehouses and stores there.

was incorporated and laid off into
squares and streets and was the pros
pective rival of West Point Just be-
low, and Columbus, across the river
1t became the trading point of inn
portance; great number Of bales
Of cotton were shipped from there
but the place proved so unhealthy
and the death rate so great that it
was abandoned. Tn planters moved
their plantations and the merchants
and lawyers to Columbus.
Oh Plymouth is now a field cult
waited by Mr.. Orlando Garfield and
despite the superstitions Of the ne
groes, and the application of the New
England query, who ate Roger Will
Iiams?' grows abundant crops of
corn and potatoes.
The Plymouth prairie was settled
by the senior Garfield, Prowell, Nor
gan, Hayden, Cox, Swearingen and
Speed, and is still the home of their
descendants, families Of brave men
and women who are making a noble
fight to hold their estates against
all the odds Of negro tenants and
scarcity of white associates, schools
and churches.
They are still trying the problem Of
negro labor and the agricultural
world is looking to these courageous,
self-denying planters for the result Of
their costly experiments and their
Industrious effort to repeat the sue
cess of their fathers and grand faith
ers, citizens of whom old Lowndes
has reason to be justly proud.

MUsr,sHow BREAD WEIGHT,
Barney Issues New Order to lows
Bakers.

False branding OF bread, as to
net weight. was given blow last
week by w. B. Barney of the state
food and dairy commission. Barney
las ruled that after July 1 all wrap
ped bread will have to bear a label
showing the net weight Of the loaf.
1t is said by Barney that the bak-
ers OF the city and state have been
lax in labelling the net weight OF
wrapped bread. They have been
using old wrappers, upon which ap-
peared this wording: "Net weight
22 ounces" or "This loaf over &C
ounces" Mr.. Barney says the wrap
pers and labels have been misleading
as whole.
Bakers have been making a six.
teen ounce loaf, and its multiple
Some have been baking however, q
seventeen ounce loaf and labelling IL
"over eighteen ounces" There has
been little attempt to produce uni.
form loaf. Mr.. Barney says he will
ask the state legislature to put thru
a uniform loaf law, and until such
measure is passed he will compel
bakers to correctly label their LOAF
SO the buying public may know ex.
actly the net weight of his purchase
