There are many lighter tasks on
the farm, such as gathering and

On Thursday, May 16, 1918, a
number of Jack County people
visited what is known as the ‘ ‘ Salt
Creek Indian Fight Grounds,” lo-
cated on Salt Creek, in Young
County. This place was named
for an Indian fight which occur-
red on May 16, 1869, betweeen
Indians and twelve white men. of
whom W. C. Kuteh, of Jaeksboro,
is the only white man now living
who took part in the above men-
tioned Indian fight.

we yet reached the point of na-

to conscript labor or to require
fanners by law to grow certain
crops. This year it is impossible
to organize a system of Federal

each neighborhood to solve its own
