Origin Oi Seven Haywood
Place Names Is Explained
By W. C. MEOFORp
NOTE: In this series of two
articles the origin of HsyWood
place names will be given.
Some time after the Revolution
? in the early 1790's probably> the
white settlers on the Holston under
Col. John Sevier made raids on
the Cherokee Indians beyond the
Balsams. The route of travel was
uo through mow) Madison County
into Buncombe and through this
county via Balsam Gap.
In one raid Ramsey says that
Sevier had 120 men. "He entered
and took by surprise the town of
Tuckasege. Fifty warriors were
slain and as many women and
children taken prisoner. . . The j
troops under Sevier burnt 18 or
20 towns and all the graneries of
corn they could find." This was
because the Indians were in the
habit of making sallies down the
Pigeon into TennVssee, striking at
the whites, then hurrying bark into
their mountain fastnesses..
Fines Creek
Bo it was that Captain Peter
? Fine, with his company of militia,
followed the Indians after one of
these raids. He overtook , and
routed them, recovering the stolen
horses, it is said. Now. Fine, on
his return down the Pigeon, camp
ed for the ntght near a creek
known then as Twelve Mile Creek.
Fine's troops had. in turn, been
followed by a party of Cherokee
jcarriors. In a surprise attack they
fell upon the whites early next
morning, killing Vinet Fine, broth
er of the commander. It was bitter
cold, the ground being hard frozen
and the creek also being frozen
pver. So in their haste, Fine's
men broke the Ice and let the
body of their comrade down into
the shallow stream, thinking that,
(n this way. It would not be found
or molested until they could re
turn But on their return, the
body could not be found.
Not long after that, the creek
was being called F-ines Creek; and
when the precinct was formed In
the first decade of the 10th cen
tury. the community was officially
given this name. t
Lake Junaluska
Junaluska is an Indian name.
It was given to the range of Bal
sams Just west of Waynesvllle in
honor of Chief Junaluska who com
manded the Cherokees in Jackson's
army, war of 1812. He was a man
honored by his people and re
spected by the whites. Colonel
Thomas put the utmost confidence
and trust in Junaluska. He was
buried (isO near the village of
I
Seven Inductees
Leaving Today
The Selective Service .Board an
nounced that the following regis
trants were sent to Charlotte today
for induction:
Virgil Monroe Mathews, Crab

Hence Lake Junaluska and Juna
luska post office.
Iron Duff
This was Intended to be Aaron
MrDuff?for the first permanent
settler in the commnnity. (A very
bad mistake you will say)
It is said that it happened when
I Hide Frank Davis, way back about
1880 or '81. sent in the name for
the post office to the department
at Washington. He might have
sent in the name as Aron Duff.
Anyway, the name was somehow
misread or misprinted and came
bock "Iron Duff". No attempt has
ever been made, that we know of,<
to have it changed
Aliens Creek
This was after William Allen,
one of the early settlers in this
section. He lived at the present
R. O. Allen place
Flott Creek
For Henry Plott. the first to
settle on the creek. He lived where
John Plott lives.
Ratoliff Cove and Francis Cove
Abraham Ratcliff was one of the
first settlers in this section?hence
Ratcliffe Cove. Likewise the
Francis Cove was so named for
William Francis, one of our pio
neers.
Jonathan's Creek
This creek and township was
named for Jonathan McPeters, who
was one of the earliest pioneers
oi this county. He settled right
about where what^today is known
as the Robert Plott place.
White Oak
Much fine white oak timber once
grew in this section. So. when
the township was erected from
Fines Creek and Jonathan's Creek,
it was named White Oak.

Start Early To Develop
Child's Musical Talent
ly SMRY CUYIUm MYIRS, Ph.D.
IT'S wonderful when en entire f
family listens to food music to- t
gether. It's wonderful, too. when p
several or all of them play instru- e
menu or sing together at home r
In some homes, when a new d
song Is Introduced, the whole t
family sings it around the dinner s
table at the end of a meal or
around the fireside. There are a r
few homes in which netghbor f
youths and parents gather 'to ?
make music Just for fun. h
Interest la Music e
Stimulation of Interest in mu- f
sic can't begin too early. Some r
mothers sing lullabies to the baby f
or sing softly while dressing or 11
bathing him. A few fathers do. r
too. Some parenU sing or whls- n
tie as they do things about the j
house. What a great achievement
It Is when a child first discovers
he ean whistle a tune. ?
I once heard a 3-year-old going c
about the house singing melodies P
he had picked up from TV. His tl
voice was lovely and he carried a b
tune well. He was encouraged In t
this by the oft-expressed appre- 1
elation of his parents. 0
Few young children, however, *
hear much good music on TV.
They are more sure to hear ft if k
good music records are presided c
? cri r?uw<
or them and If they can play
he records for themselves on a
ihonograph. I know some par
nts who have a phonograph set
war the bedrooms, so the ehil
Iren may set them playing at
ledttme, falling off to sleep to the
trains of beautiful melodies.
Some families sing grace at
neals and even the tot three or
our may Join in. Children a bit
lder may like to sing hymns at
lome with the family Some par
nts, who observe special religious
tohdays, sing songs and hynuia
elated to the occasion with their
hlldren. If there's no piano and
f neither parent can lead off well,
ecords of these songs or hymns
nay be available.
dualcal Enjoyment
It's when early interested tai
nt develop In one or seveisl
hlldren and they acquire skill at
laying musical instrum?nts,that
he whole family can have the
est music enjoyment. Utnor
unateiy. learning such skills may
ake years of hard work which
nly Interested parents may be
ble to cultivate In their chlldun.
Fortunately, the modern school,
lhdergarten up, often exposes
hlldren to good musia early.

... in the way they
do their shoppingl
It's difficult to generalize about women in
most respects . . . each is so different in so
many ways! But when it comes to shopping,
nine out of ten women follow the same sensi
ble plan. They first study the ads in this
paper with their particular needs in mind
. . . then go directly to the stores that offer
what they're looking for. If you want to
start them coming your way . . . advertise
where they start their shopping!
