this morning from Elder F. A. Bur-
ton. who has lived near Orange since
1842, when his father moved with his
family direct from England, landing
at Green's Bluff, a* Orange wav then
known
Mr Burton says at that fime there
were three log cabin* in this imme-
diate vicinity, one east of where the
Leader office stand*. about where
the water standpipe is. and two down
on the bluff just above where the
Miller-Link mill is. Two had dirt
floors, and one had a puncheon floor
One of the (wo down the river was
occupied by a man named Holbert,
who took in lodgers in hi* two-room
shanty. and the other was owned by
a man named Gates, who kept a store
and lived in the one room of hi* log
house, and traded with the Cherokee*
supplies for their skins and bridles of
horsehair
John Wilson was here, the only
man Mr Burton can recall a* living
now who was here then Wilson was
a cowboy, breaking horse* and herd-
ing cattle
The Cherokee* were here, but
were peaceful and gave no trouble.
They lived by hunting and fishing,
with little patches of corn, and by
trading skins of bear, deer and wild
cat, and bridles and girts made of
horsehair, for such goods and pro-
visions *» Gate* kept Wild cats and
wolves were very plentiful then
Elder Burton's father was John
Burton; two sons, the Elder and Q.

ton, on his arrival here in 1842 mov-
ed out on Cow Rayon, where they
uved a while, and then he moved to

W Burton lives just out of Orange
a half mile, and Elder F A. Burton
a few months ago moved into town
from the Adam* Bayou farm

was stepping into hit auto, an old
white-haired gentleman walked op

then after talking over old times
John said: "You remember when you

man a check for $1,000. and goodbyes

Pine Camp of Confederate Veterans
this year is to be held at Kirbyville.
This association comprises the camps
of five or six counties in Southeast

bers. Judging from the good delega-
tion which goes from Orange, it is
safe to predict that there will be sev-
eral hundred veterans at Kirbyville
tomorrow when the roll is called.

American News Service.
London, Sept, 2,—The details of the
discovery of the North Pole by Dr.
Frederick Cook are being received.
On April ,14th, 1908, while a hundred
miles from the pole, signs of land .
were seen and finally a strip of land
containing 30,000 square miles was
discovered. It was inhabited by po-
lar bears and game, of considerable
varieties. Cook and six Esquimos
were in the party and had forty-six
dogs. Their progress was slow on
account of the low temperature, but
on the morning of April 21st, the
pole was in sight. The party quickly
advanced, and within a few hours Dr.
Cook planted the American flag at
the pole, and the land became United
States territory. Cook and two Es-
quimos, who were all that remained,
were the first human beings to plant
foot at the extreme north point of
the globe The temperature was 38
below- zero. The North Pole was
filled with snow and ice. There is
no life, no land. On the morning of
April 23rd. the return trip was start-
ed. Then came stortps, and it was
almost impossible to progress, and
food ran short. A large tract of
land extending northwest w*s seen
at the eighty-third parallel. The prob-
lem became food for sustenance
rather than progress homeward. They
used bows and arrows and lived on
wild game and lived in an under-
ground cave last winter, and started
home in the spring. They reached
Upper Navik on May 2nd.
United Hunts Meeting.
Baltimore, Sept, 2.—With a pro-
gram replete with steeplechases and
other events of interest to gentleman
riders, the Maryland United Hunts ,

states is represented The dates in- J|
elude two holidays, Saturday and La-

ance
Some changes have been tjjade at
Pimlico since the spring meeting;
which will add to the comfort of
spectators and the completeness of
the course.
North of the grandstand the open
