THE IRON NERVE OF SAM HOUSTON, THE VIRGINIAN No. 43 for Ft. Valley and Columbus leaves. No. 45 for Columbus leaves Courage and daring were qualities characteristic of all the scouts who won their right to fame in frontier his tory, but for iron nerve and pure grit Sain Houston was the peer of them all. Perhaps he inherited his fortitude from bis father, who was a soldier in the Revolution; perhaps during his long stay among the Cherokee Indi- ..us he learned that a warrior bears pain without flinching. Houston was a Virginian who had entered the army and risen to the rank of ensign arthe outbreak of the Creek war in 1813. Gen. Andrew Jackson, “Old Hickory,” had taken iftlie field against the Creeks and, after a series of battles in which the Indians were defeated, they made a last stand at their fortified encampment, Tohopeka, in the Great Horseshoe bend of the Tallapoosa river, Ala. During the assault on this fort, a barbed arrow struck Houston in the thigh. He tried to pull it out, but failed. The agony was frightful. Calling to a soldier, Houston com manded 1dm to extract the shaft. Twice the man tried and foiled, then begged to be relieved of the task when he saw the unspeakable torture he was -causing. “Try again,” commanded Houston. “And if you fail, I’ll run you through with my sword!” The third attempt was successful, and as the barbed shaft was torn from the flesh, it was followed by a gush of blood. General Jackson, see ing Houston’s wound, ordered him to the rear. The young ensign waited until Jackson had passed on, had a surgeon bind up the wound, and in a few minutes he was back in the thick of the fighting. Tiie high peak in Houston’s adven turous life came in 1838 when, at the head of a little army of SOO Texans, with the battle cry of “Rfememlper the Alamo!” on their lips, he defeated the hordes of Santa Anna, the Mexican dictator, at San Jacinto, and won free dom for Texas. He was elected first president of the Lone Star republic. At the outbreak of the Civil war, Houston, who was governor of Texas, was bitterly opposed to the secession of that state from the Union. The Confederates 'forced .him to resign. They required all men over sixteen to register and to carry a pass while traveling. Houston refused to do either. Once they -stopped him and demanded his pass. “San Jacinto is iny pass through Texas!” thundered the brhve old man ns lie rode ou. Houston died at ids home in Hunts ville July 28, 1883, with the name of Texas on his lips. No. 42 for Atlanta leaves Nq. 44 for Atlanta leaves EARL G.

Ford, President of the Ford Motor Company, gives out the following statement: “Another reduction has been made in the list price of all types of Ford cars and the Ford truck to take effect immediately. The list prices, f. o. b. Detroit, are now as follows: ; TOURING CAR $415.00 SEDAN $760.00 RUNABOUT 370.00 CHASSIS 345.00 COUPE 695.00 TRUCK CHASSIS 495.00 TRACTOR, $625.00 Mrs. J. I. Jones of Atlanta, Mrs. W. T. Adams and little daughter of Cuth- bert, Mrs. J. W. Donehoo and chil dren of College Park., were guests of Mrs. G. W. Oorsett Saturday and Sunday. This is a story of a modern Ulysses, a frontier hero of many wanderings, who died without receiving the fame which was his due, a man whose serv ice to America has been but lately appreciated by his countrymen. Jede- dial) Strong Smith was his name, and his contribution to history \yas the first accurate mapping of the great West. Smith was born in New York in 179!). As a boy lie played with the young Seneca Indians of Chief Corn- planter’s tribe, and learned their lore. He became an expert with the bow and arrow, which lie afterward car ried on all of liis expeditions. Once lie brought down a hawk flying about 75 yards above him, and he could drive a shaft to the heart of a buf falo ns skillfully as any Indian hunter. In years of wandering Smith crossed the . western country on the south from the Colorado river to the Pacific; he crossed it midway from the Rockies to the Pacific, and he traversed it on the north from Cali fornia to (lie Rockies. He visited all the important streams from Arizona to the Yellowstone country, and he made accurate notes, of all lie saw. This information was used in correct ing the unreliable maps of the day and proved of inestimable value to later explorers. Smith's death was heroic. In 1831 lie was guiding a wagon train over rhe Santa Fe trail. The train had tak en a short cut around the head of the Cimarron river and soon was lost in a desert country. Water must be found at once. Smith set out in search of a stream, and finally reached one. While drinking, lie was surrounded by a hand of Coinandies, who determined to have the white man’s gun. Tlie Indians signaled pelicej and af ter talking in the sign language for a while, they succeded in frightening Smith’s horse. As it turned, they shot at the scout with arrows, wounding him in the arm. Smith wheeled about, shot tlie chief dead with his rifle and killed two more savages with his pis tols. Then grasping his ax, the scout dashed into their midst. They cut him down with their lances, but when they approached to scalp him, Smith rose up again and stabbed three of diem with his knife. Then he dropped dead. The Indians afterward admit ted that he had killed 13 of their purty before he died ‘ Mrs. J. J.
