STREYCKMANS and ELMO SCOTT WATSON Titian-Haired TF ALL the authors who have de scribed their pretty ‘heroines as having Titian hair were placed end to end and then asked to describe what they meant by titian, most of them would be out of luck. Titian hair or titian anything else, for that matter—is a color that characterizes many of the paintings of one of the w Id’s greatest art ists whose name was Titian. His full name was Ti ziano Vecelli and he was born in the Venetian Alps in 1477. The color which he was the first to put upon can vas and for which present authors take his name in vain, is a reddish yellow and very vivid. The yellow id the mixture so Titian is so prominent dazzling that girls who had that kind of hair would scare the heroes away. Titian painted thousands of pic tures and became very wealthy. He was more than 95 years old when he died. (Released by Western Newspaper Union) mencan dventurers By EtaM Scott Watson Rebel Against Rebellion A THE outbreak of the Civil war a band of about 100 citizens of Jones county, Mississippi, refused to identify themselves with the Confed eracy. Under the leadership of one Newt Knight, they took refuge in Leaf River swamp where they de fied all efforts to make them fight under the Stars and Bars. By 1864 they had complete con trol of the county and out of that fact grew the story that this “rebel lion within a rebellion” resulted in forming a “Republic of Jones” with Knight as its head. Mississippians declare, however, that there is no official record of any such “repub lic” ever having been launched and they refer to these “seceders from secession” as the “Newt Knight band of deserters.” When the war was over and Con federate army veterans returned, they induced the legislature to change the name of the county from “Jones” to “Davis,” because they said the conduct of Knight had made its name ‘‘a badge of ignom iny and a term of reproach.” Knight always denied that he was a deserter but tried to get a pension from the federal government. He was unsuccessful because the rec orda/^t Washington failed to show his name enrolled in the Union army^ Hctwever, there was some compensation forhim in the fact that until his death in 1923, he was widely kdowu as the ^‘founder of the Republic of Jones.” •westers Newspaper Uniou.
