was born April 20, 1910, at Guilford,
Conn. A sketch shows the Murray
homestead. 1t still stands. 1t has
been occupied by ten generations Of
the Murrays. He worked his way
through Yale (16S2) and a theological
seminary. After filling several New
England pulpits, his talents carried
him In 1868 TO the Park Street Con-
gregational church in Boston. then one
of the most prominent in the country.
Mr.. Murray achieved nationwide
fame In his Boston pulpit. His ser
mons were printed all over the coun-
try. His popularity was equal to that
of Henry Ward BescAer. AS an orator
he ranked with Wendell Phillips and
Sumner and Cough.
In the spring Of 1869 Ticknor <
Fields published his first book, "Ad-
ventures in the Wilderness; or, Camp
Life in the Adirondacks. 1t created
situation that attracted nationwide
attention. Editors called the book "a
monstrous hoax" Cartoonists handled
the young author without gloves.
Noted divines declared that 'he had
disgraced his high station by thus
practicing upon the people, especially
the weakly and the sick, cruel joke"
Those who believed and started for
the Adirondacks were ridiculed as
"Murray's Fools"
The Murray Rush" of "Murray's |
Fools" for the Adirondacks began In
the early summer. Thousands swamped
every possible accommodation Of the
wilderness; thousands had TO turn
back. Those who got In returned TO

of almost $4,000. He was

POSTMEN ARE TO

GARDENS TO HOMES ON
FIFTY ROUTES.

An experiment in carrying farm
products from the producer to the
consumer by mail in so different To-
cations in the United States is to be
begun soon by the postoffice depart
ment The experiment is authorized
by the bill which increased postal sal
aries and rates. Postmaster Genera
New is given complete charge of the
project
The postmaster general, under the
law, will have the authority to lower
regular postal rates-hve cents for the
first pound and one cent for each adj
ditional pound-if he desires In addi-
ton, he may give the rural mail car
riers on the routes selected for the
experiment commissions to encourage
them to seek new business.
The farm products under the plan
will be classed as parcel post. They
will be picked up at the homes of the
farmers and delivered directly to the
addresses on them.
Several years ago the government
made similar experiment on a route
in Pennsylvania The plan was so sue

the most decisive battle OF the Greek
Indian war of 1886 was fought. lhls
is known in history as the battle OF
Etchway-Nochway swamp. This bat
tie was fought July 5, 1886, Major
Jernigan commanding. On November
IA, 1912 a handsome granite boulder
was unveiled on this spot by Stone
Castle chapter, d. A. K.
The following interesting Indian
story has been handed down in the
family Of Mr.. Abel Daniel, one of the
participants "A crowd OF Indians
passing through the settlement now
known as Florence, Georgia, captured
Young white girl and carried her OFT
prisoner. AS the father and lover fol
lowed in hot haste and purusit, they
were joined by Mr. Abel Daniel Mr..
Elias Bell and others. The Indians
were overtaken encamped on little
island near where double bridge cross
es Etchway- Nochway, almost in sight
OF the battle ground. The girl was dis
covered bound to a tree while the In
dams busted themselves with prepar-
ing supper over the camp fire. One OF
the rescuing party-no doubt the low
er-crept up to cut the cords which
bound the girls wrists and in the ex-
element cut off one of her fingers.
The Indians seeing the whites advanc-
ing in the uncertain twilight became
panic stricken and fed, leaving horses
supper and all to the victors. Many
other romances and tragedies were en-
acted in the Etchway-Nochway as
she wandered "This-away-I hat-a-
way" through the forest, but she muir
murs them in a language that only
the birds can understand and we can
only stand on the banks and dream OF
the heroes and heroines OF long ago.
After the battle of Etchway-Notch-
way had been fought and the Indians
thoroughly routed sanguinary bat
tie between eight whites and a band
of red men making their way to Pine
Island, at place called Point Peter,
the present site of Mr. A. J. Hills
country home.
Point Peter was then owned by one
Charlie Dale, and to this place had
gone the families of Kenyon Dale,
John and Ben Stegall The four men
and four wives were drawn up in line
of battle about $3.50 p. m. with Ken
Won Dale in command. When the In
dams, coming up in single file, were
within firing distance the command to
fire was given Mrs. John Stegall took
aim and fired and the first Indian fell
dead. Seven others were killed and
then by this time the last Indian was
passing, and Mrs. Stegall who had
reloaded her gun, took aim and the
ninth Indian lay dead.
The Uncle Billie" Parker home,
before Terrell was a county unit, be-
fore the Indian war of 1885, was
built and part of it was used for a
postofice. The hole is still in the wall,
where the settlers dropped their letters
for Uncle Sans agent to gather up
and carry to the nearest railway sta
