WILL TRY TO SELL
MILLION IN BONDS
Attorney General Is Now En- Route
To New York On This Mission.

Attorney General Frank Robertson,
acting under instructions from the
State Bond and Improvement Com
mission, left last night for New York,
where he will endeavor to find a
market for the one million-dollar
state bond issue, for which no bids
were received at the meeting held on
Monday.
General Robertson succeeded in sell
ing two previous state bond issues,
che for $250,000 and another for
100000, through the life insurance
companies in New York, and he hopes
to be equally successful in disposing
of the million-dollar issue.
However, the commission realizes
that General Robertson is up gainst
a difficult job this time, owing to
the sluggish condition of the bond
market, and, should he fail to find
market in New York, an appeal will
be made to the state banking institu-
tions to take the bonds in blocks of
from $1,000 to $4,000.

there was nothing like a settlement
until 1919 Keller says in his Alma

out by the agent as an intruder in
the Chickasaw Nation, built small

ETC." December 9th, 1881, its limits
were extended, to commence on the
state line Of Alabama, at the house Of
William Lucas, and to run from
thence in a northwest direction, so as
to cross the Robinson Road, at place
on said Robinson's road, known by the
name of Wilson's stand, so as to in
clude said Wilson's stand, and from
thence on a direct line, from the
place of beginning, until said line
strikes the Natchez Trace; and from
thence north along the said Natchez
Trace to the northern boundary line
Of said county of Lowndes." And
again December 20, 1888, it was ex-
tended, to include all the territory
south of line, running from the
junction of the Buttahatcfiie river
with the Tombigbee river, and north
to Noxubee county. "Finally, in 1871,
its northern and western limits were
when some of it's area was
taken to form port Of the county of

Facts as the writer found then
given by Shaefer, Keller and Doctor
j Lipscomb are about as given il
Keeler's Almanac, 50 we may turn K
this same number Of 1848 for &
statement Of further facts on the
History of Columbus. "About the mid
die of June 1919, Thomas Simpson,
afterwards Judge of the Probate
Court, William Wiser, Spirus Roach
and William Poor came to this place.
Spirus Roach occupied and kept en-
tcrtanment in the cabin built by
Thomas Thomas, and from the pc
culiarities Of hemself and family,
the Indians named the place Shook
huttah-tom-a-h ah, or Opossum Town,
which name it retained, and was
known by TO rseveral years. A short
time after this, the citizens of the
town and its vicinity, had meeting,
and at the suggestion Of Sias McBee
the place received the name Of Column
bus. About this time Thomas ToNtn-
send, Greene Bairey, DIR. B. G. Barry,
Silas Brown, Hancock Chisholm, Will
lam Connover, William Fernandes,
John H. Leech, and several other
young men came to the place. In
August 1919, Gideon Lincecum re-
moved to the town, and opened the
largest assortment of goods that had
yet been brought TO the place. Town
send and Bailey had been for some
time selling groceries-William Wiser
had a remnant of goods, which he
brought over land, and through the
wilderness from Florence. During
the autumn of 1919, Robert D. Haden
from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, reached
Columbus, and in the course of the
winter brought on very pretty stock
of goods. His store-house occupied
the ground near where Charles I'll. |
Abert's brick store-house now stands, |
and directly in front of his present
dwelling house. Thomas Sampson
lived in double cabin, occupying the |
ground, now a part of William H.
garden. Gideon Lince-
GUMS store and dwelling was situated
on the western end of John Huddles-
toms garden, and the single story
frame house, just below the postof-
flee, was built by him, and was the
first frame dwelling ever erected in
the town. In this house, on the 1st
IF January, 1921, the first mail was
brought to Columbus, and was open
ed by Gideon Lincecum, the first
Postmaster. In 1919, Richard Barry

where A. N. Jones and Co.'s drug
store now stands. During the winter
