01 lands adorned by poet's
Of grandeur sung by tongues
of men,
Of scenery pictured by the
brush.
Of earths expression in its
hush;
W here is there now aland ho
grand,
"Where can the vision ere ex
pand, To bring to night of mortal
man,
A land whose summits kiss
the sky,
A land that brush and pen
defy,
A land o'er which the Indian
trod,
With tomahawk and fishing
rod,
Where bounding elk the
mountains scale,
With stealthy panther on his
trail,
Where howling wolves and
wild-cats scream,
To arouse the huntsman
from his . dreamy
Where Jfruin stalks the earth
at will.
Aiid deer are found by shady
rill, -Where
on the summit of some
peak,
The eagle from his perch doth
seek
Some weaker animal for his
prey,
1 And there he feasts the live
long day,

hi scream.
Awoke th Indian from his
dream.
Two here the the Wild-cait
rent the air,
Twas here the growl came
from th Unir,
Twas here the wolf with
lonely howl
In darkest hours of midnight
prowl,
Twas here the red-man saw
the light
T'wns here his eyes first met
the sijrht.
Of the land of hills and val-
ltvs wide,
Foi w hich he fought, and bled
and died.
Twas here the dusky Indian
maid.
First learned the joys that
love portrayed,
Twas here she pictured loves
bright dawn,
Twas here her life was bright
as morn.
T'was here she bid life's sor-
row flee.
Twas here she wandered in
her cler,
T'was here her lover brave
and bold,
The story of his victories
told.
T'was here he told of battles
won.
T'was here he told of deeds
he'd done,
T'was here the red-man ant"
his wife,
Enjoyed their modeofsnv
asre lite,
Twas here their rude, wild
wayward lite,
Terminated in deadly strife
T'was in Watauga's river
wide,
The speckled trout they there
espied,
T'was on Grandfather'slofty
height,
That Brain first came into
sight.

Wolves in the night with sav-

On Howard's Knob was seen
the trace,
Of panthers in their stealthy

And Elk Knob's sides could

Of many an elk which went

One Daniel Boone his toot-

Toward Watauga hills he

He startled the Indian in his

And on this town bestowed

electors of Virginia irom

Electoral College is strong
presumptive evidence that
the vote was free and the
