While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!

Yuchi chief, son of Timothy Barnard, a Scotchman, and a Yuchi woman,
who first became generally known when, in 1814; he took part with the
American forces against the hostile
Creeks. During the battle of General Floyd's troop with the Indians at
Camp Defiance, Ala., Jan. 2, 1814 (called the battle of Callabee),
Barnard, who had been commissioned as major, distinguished himself, with
his band of about 100 Yuchi warriors, especially in rescuing Capt.
Broadnix and his company when their retreat was for a time cut off. He
signed the Creek treaty of Aug. 9, 1814, at Ft Jackson, Ala., as "Captain
of Uchees."
