GeaeGeneralUStand Watie was born in Georgia. He came to this
country with the emigrants in 1838. He was oie of the
of the Treaty party, and for this he was continually in danger o
his life until 1846. He was many times elected to the capital of
the Cherokee Nation from Delaware District At the beginning; of
the war between the states he owned a valuable fa m on (Jrand
River and a large sawmill on the Spavinaw near the mouth o
Brushy creek. In 1861 he was commissioned Colonel of the 1st

PYTHIANS FIRST ANNUAL PICNIC.
The old May Day Grounds for both the male and female sem-

Cherokee county. This ground has been used in the years gone by
for the stomp dance of the Cherokees and lies south and east of
Tahlequah a distance of about two miles, on the Illinois river. The
grounds will be cleared and otherwise put into shape for the picnic
and the roads leading thereto -will be improved and everything made

When the granite monunont erect-
ed some months ago in honor of
Brigadier General Stand Watie is un-
veiled on Monday morning, the 6th
lust., there will no doubt be a large
and representative attendance from
various sections of Oklahoma as well
as from other states. Watie was one
of the very few North American In-
dians to receive the rank he held,
and the only Indian In the Confeder-
ate Hervice to bo so honored. If we
look into the pages of his. ory we
r.-ill find that Tecumseh, the great
warrior and leader and of the Shaw-
nees, and who was an ally of the
British in the wai of 1812, was made
brigadier and was soon after slain
at the battle of the TUani"s in Can-
ada.
Pushmataha or Apushmataha,
famous leaden of the Choctaws, who
aided the American forccs in the war
above referred to, was elevated to a
brigadier generalship by General An-
drew Jackson. In the days of the
civil war Ely Stephen Parker, mem-
Ber of Gen. Grant's staff, so distin-
guished himself that he was honored
with the rank of brigadier. A*>d in
1 864, Stand Watie, prior to that
time colo'a! of an Indian Confeder-
ate regiment, received the higher
rank from the military authorities
and president of the Confederacy. So
far as Is known the four men men-
tioned are the only Indians who once
bore the rank in question.
Of Stand Watie it is said that he
was born in the Indian town of Oo-
yoo-ge-lo-gi, in the old Cherokee na-
tion within the boundaries of the
Btate of Georgia, in the year of 180fi.
The Indian town was near where is
now the city of Rome, Ga., and' in
the center of an extensive Cherokee
settlement. The Indian name of Ta-

MOUNTAIN HOME.
katwaka, bestowed in childhood,
translated into the English, means
Stand, and the surname of Watie
was derived from the name of the
father, whose home had no doubt
been long located in Oo-yee-ge-lo-gi.
It is recorded that Stand Watie at-
tended a mission school which had
been established by a Protestant de-
nomination within the Cherokee na-
tion, at a place near the historical
Missionary Ridge of civil war davs,
became a man of considerable dis-
tinction among his people and was
with his brother and some other rel
atives, members of the delegation
which made the "treaty of New Ech
ota" in 1835, removed west of the
Mississippi river in 1836, and after .
the assassination of his brother in I popular matted row

i As announced last week, the sub-
' scrlptlon for this periodical will be
$1.00 a yoar until the 15th of Ms
; month. This applies only to C'hero-
, keo county and must be for 12
months, no lesser time will be given
' iit tills rate. The response has ox-
! rreded our hopes and this is only
mentioned at this time for ths rea-
son that we would like very much
to shape our office work so that
at least a part of our office force
can have a much needed vacation
early in the summer time.
The principal Idea of most overseers
was to |(llg ditches alongside the
highways, no matter how level the
ground, nor how rugged, whether |
sloping or otherwise. No matter
what the condition the ditches were
dug and many roads ruined thereby.
In these days, however, there Is more
road building than ditch digging and
some really well built roads are the
result. Those who have been em-|
ployed as overseers during the past
months have done their work well
and satisfactorily so far as we have
learned and are to be complimented.
Let the good work ((road work) go I
on and in a few years cur highways
will compare favorably with those
of any of the older stateB.
