Lowe, of Banner Elk, North Caro. for the Democrat In tte act creatiug Avery Coun ty there is a provision for the sel ectiou of (be court bouse site by an election of the qualified vn. ters of the pew county, and at this election which was held on the rJrut day of August. 1911. the Old Fields of Toe was chosen as the place for the court houne, by tbe act the county town should bear the name of Newland In ho nor of Honoruble W. C. Newland of Lenoir, who was then Lieu tenant Governor of the State. It so happened that the town has been located ou a tract of land which was granted by tbe State of North Carolina, on No vember 9th 1783, to Colonel Waightstill Avery of Revolution ary fame in whose honor the new county was named. Colonel Avery owned a number of tracts, aggregating 1,050 ac res which ha long been desig nated as the "Old Fields of Toe" Estatoe Riyer, commonly called Toe River, flows through this body of land. A great number of years' ago a number of fields were cleared upon this land, hence the name, ' Old Fields of Toe." An old legend has it, that when this part of tbe rountry was in habited only by Indians a noted chief of one of the tribes had a yery beautiful daughter by the name of Estatoe who, with her father, attended one of tbe Great Councils of the various tribes on the banks of this river. At this Great Council Estatoe met the son of another . great . chief . and the two fell desperately in love at first tight; and although the young chief was a handsome fel low, a brave warrior and Btood high in the ranks of the various tribns, the father of the beautiful young woman opposed the match and resorted to all the strategies at his command to prevent the two from meeting again, but the young brave was altogether as crafty and cunning as tbe old Chief, the father of h is s weetbear t. While the chief feared the ulti mate result ot this love affair be found it impossible to constantly keep watch tor bis daughter, be would absent himself from her occasionally and taking advan tage of opportunities the couple would manage to meet and talk oyer their love matters, and af ter keeping this up for a time the young man sought the beautilul young woman and stole her while her father was absent. This en raged the old chief to such an ex tent that he immediately declar ed war agaiust the tribe of which tbe father of the young man was the chief; and as often as allian- cee would be formed with differ ent tribes on the one side, they would be met by reinforcements from the other until almost all the tribes in the surrounding country were involved on either one side or the other, and it was noon apparent that if hostilities continued at such a pace it would only be a matter of time until all tbe tribes would be extermina ted. During one of these engage ments the father of Estatoe re ceived a painful wound from an arrow of one of his adversaries and he was advised by the ' Med icine man" that bis wound might prove fatal. While the old chief was meditating on bis couch he expressed a desire to see hi daughter, and being informed that his daughter mightbefound he requested that she be sent for at once. Estatoe, on learning of tbe condition of her father, hastened to Bee himandgiye him relief if possible, one waited on him tenderly and kindly and while she was with him she learn ed that she still exerted great in fluence over him, so she conceiv ed the idea that she might be a ble to eff-ct friendly relations among the warring factions. Af ter remaining with her father lor a short time, she excused bersell with the promise ot returning a gain in the near future. But be fore taking her departure she had ascertained that the wound was more painful iban serious, after returning to her young chief she told him of the condit ion of the old warrior and all that she had beard, and she laid before him her plans for negotia ting peace, She requested him to make a pipe for two stems, and being somewhat of an ex pert, he soon had a pipe of beau tiful design and finish iu readi ness for the stems. While the young man was making the pipe Estatoe selected two long hollow stems from a shrub growing a long the river, and after procur ing some Bmoking tobacco they laio the pipe, stems and tobacco aside until their use might be re quired. It was arranged that the young man should confer with his fath er while Estatoe should visit her father. After Estatoe returned to her father she told him that the Great Spirit had planted a shrub along the banks' of the riv er called the "Ti-Ti,"tbathe had sent her a beautiful pipe, called the "Pipe of Peace," unless the two greatest chiefs of all tbe trib es would meet together and smoke the "Pipe of Peace" aud desist from their hostilities all of them would soon be extermina ted and none of them would ever reach their "Happy hunting grounds," and that he was the greatest of all the tribes and that the father of her husband was al so a great chief, and if the two great warriors could be reconcil ed peace might be restored and all their people might escape from utter destruction, Her in fluence over him was so great he agreed that he would consider terms of peace. In the meantime the young chief had no trouble inconvincing his father that he was also a great chief, and that it was easily within his power to bring about a reconcilatiou if he would exert his great Influence over his allies, and the young chief requested that a great coun cil be called to meet on the banks of the beautiful stream, that un less something should be done it would be a matter of only a short time until they would all perish in this useless warfare, aud that none of them would ever be permitted by tbe Great Spirit to reach their Happy Hunting Grounds. . - Tbe Great Council was called and while tbe preparations for tbe peace conference were being arranged tbe strength of the wounded chief rallied, so as to enable him to take charge of the great gathering,- the "Pipe of Peace," u-ti stems and tobacco were presented by Estatoe, and with much solemnity tbe two chiefs eat on the banks of the ri yer and smoked the "Pipe of Peace" and consented to settle all their differences-' After the cessation of hostilities thelndians continued to hold their Great Councils annually at this place, where it was found that tbe "Ti ti" planted by the Great Spirit had flourished so that all the in habitants could be provided with pipe stems from four to five feet iu length; the various tribes main Boone As a Summer Resort There is no place iu the moun tains more favorably located for a pleasure and health resort than tbe town of Boone. Oiher places spend thousands of dollars ev ery year iu ord-r to attract visi ors. Boone upends not oue cent. let, every yrar more aud more people Keek to get board in this town. There is a very good rea son for this. Blowing Rack, only ten miles away, is a resort of almost nation-wide fame. It is prepared to accommodate all classes ot visitors. Its eleirant hotels aud comfortable board ing bouses are all the most ex acting could ask. Thousands yis- it that ideal resort every season, and nearly all of these visitors make at hast one trip to Boone. Thus the ad vantages an 1 attrac tions of this delightful village yearly became known to an ever increasing number of pleasure and health seekers, without the expenditure of one penny by any of our citizens or hotels. Now, since' nature has done so much lor this lovely town, and notoriety has come to it abso lutely unsought, all that we peo ple have to do is to fit up our spare rooms for yisitors and bang out a sign that boarders are welcome and our town would be crowded every summer with a nice Jclass of people w ho would leave iu our midst thousands of dollars which would be spent elsewhere. If any one doubts the financial advantages accruing from from summer visitors, all oue bas to do is to wrile to people in Ashe- ville, llendersonville, Waynes vine, orevaru ana eisewaere in the mountains. But the money consideration is not the only one to be considered; for by enter tuimug boarders we get acquaiu ted with many pleasant people from whom we and our children may lear much then, too, all our merchants, livery stables etc. would be benefitted, while our fruits, vegetables and berries would find ready purchasers at every door. Friendships are thus formed that last for years. Already havewetaken .the first and most important step by put ting our town in prime sanitary condition, and our streets and side walks are being well repair ed. A'l we have to do is to ad mit those who apply for board, and grasp a profit. A Much Appreciated Letter. Mrs. Nora Greene, nee Wagner, now ot Lancaster, Washington, writes: "Sure glad to get Tbe Democrat, for it contains all the goodold Watauga news. So you see your paper is appreciated in the far west. I often get rather homesick for the good old North State, but still this is a fine coun try. I was a studeut of the A. T. S., and like to think cf my school days there." No Substitute Could Do This. No iniei ior subatitute but only the genuine Foley Kidney Pills could have rid I. V. Wallieh, Bart lett, N'br., of his ludney trouble. He says; "i was bothered with back ache, and the pain would run up to the back ot my kead. and I had spells of dizziness, I took Foley Kidney Pills and they did the work and I am now entirely rid of, kid ney trouble."
