Today signals are passed from the tops of these same mountains, from fire guard to fire guard, but by telephone wires instead of by bon fires. Romance surely played a part in the lives of the ( Tierokees of long ago. This is clearly indicated in their legends. However, we have no story handed down from them concerning the striking differences of vegetation on Wayah Bald and Standing Indian; so we will call upon our own imagination in a man ner much like that of the Indians themselves. Let us suppose that it was at one of the great gatherings of the tribes for the building of Naquessa Mound that the terrible monster, of which we told in our last article, first appeared and carried off one of the little children-playing by the river-hank. The reigning chief of all the tribes within a hun dred miles or more, at this time, we will name San touchee, "the great panther." Santouchee had a love ly (laughter, Shalola, "the grey squirrel," who had mam overs anions tho vounp- n tan nraves. P.acn .' i o rs - lay much game was laid at the door of her wigwam. Birds, squirrels, young venison, and all the best food of the forest and streams were laid at her feet to obtain favor in her eyes. When the little child was carried off by the mons ter that swooped from the skies, Santouchee at once offered his lovely daughter with the snapping black eyes and long raven hair as wife to the brave that , uM find the hiding place of the monster and aid in tlestrovinir ii. LEGAL ADVERTISING ! More Homes Needed CRAXKLIX has acquired quite a number of new residents within the past year more, in fact, than it has been able to accommodate with comfortable dwellings. A deplorable shortage of living quarters has de veloped. As one woman put it after scouring the town in search of a modest but comfortable home, the housing situation has become so acute that mov ing is like playing a game of puss-in-the-corner. W hen one family moves, several others generally follow suit, succeeding each other from house to house, and then someone is almost sure to get lost in the shuffle, being forced to double-up with somebody or take a house which is inadequate. As vet we have not heard of any prospective resi dents; Initio- turned awav on account of this condition. but unless Franklin acquires some new homes such an unhappy occurrence might easily develop. With the coming of summer we are beginning to wonder how we are going to take care of the usual influx of visitors. It would be a sorry come-to-pass if we had to tell some of them to move on to other towns; but if the tourist business comes up to expectations this year, this very likely will become necessary. The un fortunate thing about it is that some of our vacation visitors are potentiial permanent residents. A very large part of Florida s population is made up ot J as told before: but it was only by the aid of the people who went there to visit and remained to live. (;rt.at Spirit that the monster and its young were Even here in Franklin we have acquired some of ourUlain. However. Santouchee gave Santa-caloogie the best residents in this manner. We would hate to see credit for the idea of removing the forests that the this process halted by lack ot accommodations. ireat Spirit promised should never grow back, so no other terrible thing should ever hide among them. As the blood of the evil monsters was spilled on Standing Indian, it is now covered with an evergreen in place of the ;reat forests that once stood there.

Among: the manv vounsr braves was one who contaminK 55 acres, more or less. towered above the rest. He was as straight as a pine tree and so quick with bow and arrow that his arrows let fly almost it seemed before he raised his bow to the level of his eve. And always the game came down as his swift arrow point hit its mark. This splendid brave. Santa-caloogie, was much in favor with the pretty Shalola but so were others of the handsome young men who gathered around the tee pee of this big chief Santouchee. Santa-caloogie wanted much to win the maiden. He was ready to undertake any hard or perilous work to find the home of the terrible monster. So he called together all the young braves and said that the forests would have to be removed from the mountain tops before they could see to trace the child-eating monster. This, after much hard labor, was accomplished, Tract No. 2. On the waters of Cowce Creek, beginning at a stone on top of Sheep Knob, witnessed hv a large black oak, H. B. Al len's corner in P. K.

There seems to be considerable prejudice at this time against investments in residential rental proper ty. Win? The usual answer is that residential prop err v won't earn more than six per cent on ihe in vestment. We grant that to be true. But what other investment now-a-days is certain of paying even six per cent' Uncle Sam is offering only three and a quarter per cent. There is another angle even more important. Oi what value is the land we have (Franklin has more vacant lots than houses) if it remains undeveloped: Much of the vacant propcrtv in town is now only a liability, souk thing which yields no revenue but up on which taxes must be paid each year. Developed on a reasonable basis, it will become an asset. Certainh we cannot expect our town lo continue it., growth unless we encourage that growth.

Siler Article IX The Legend of the Purple Laurel and White Azalea WHY is it that Standing Indian, late in May or early lltne, is crowned with a wreath ol purple laurel, while its neighbor. Wayah Bald, appears a little later bedecked in white or pink azalea? Nol a purple blossom is to be found on Wayah, nol a white or pink blossom on Standing Indian. What is the reason for this strange floral difference on mountains so (dose to each other? Many have wondered. Perhans scientists could answer this riddle, bid as yet they have not done so and we must rely upon Indian maiden, and Santa-caloogie, the fine Indian being the same land conveyed by T. VV.

After the days of prayers of thankfulness to the Great Spirit for delivering the people from this terrot by a stroke from heaven. Chief Santouchee called ali the tribes together for the wedding of his daughter. Shalola, and the hrave, Santa-caloogie. Shalola wanted to leave the high mountain : Mood.hcd, where the monster had had its den, for her wedding, so she chose the mountain top in sight across many ridges and valleys, the Wayah or Wolf mountain. So there they gathered, young and old. till the mountain top was covered for the happv wedding. Shalola was dressed in the finest and soft est coat of fawn skin, tanned and rubbed to velvet text ure by the old squaws. Around the bottom, jnsi touching her knees, was a fringe of rabbit tails. On Tier arms were gleaming bracelets of wolf fangs. In her raven black hair was a glowing wreath of Indian Pain Brush showing scarlet above her black, bright eves. In, her hand she held a tiny white flower that had thrown its fragrance in her path as she crossed (he tossing clear stream of Wayah creek on her way up to her wedding. She slopped and searched for I his sweet flower till she found it hidden amidst its close leaves, nodding at its reflection in I he clear stream. Its sweet fragrance whispered to her of sweet joys ahead, of the love of a husband, of little babies in her arms. As soon as Shalola could slip away for a few minutes after the wedding feast, she took a deer thong from her soft moccasin and tied her little while and pink flower to a huckleberry bush and said: "Come sun and come rain. Warm and wet this little flower till the seed hidden deep its heart, ripen. Then come gentle south winds and scatter the tiny, seed over this mountain so that my bridal flower shall cover the mountain top with swetness and beau ty lor ever and ever." nd l he wishes of the Indian bride send out their fragrance, sweet beyond description, every June to celebrate the great wedding of Shalola. the lovely the imagination for an explanation.
