Some History by Col. G. M.
Yoder.
Traditional history tells us
that there came a Mr. Messer to
this section of tlie country soon
' after the close of the Revolution,
; we suppose from the state Penn
! gylvania and settled on the bank
of Henry Fork river, only a few
miles from Hickory.
We know not what year he
came, but tradition tells us he
lived here before 1792. When
) he settled on this farm he built a
: small log house, which has been
I the writers pleasure to see. Hert
r Frederick Messer was born,
i who died a few weeks ago at
the age of 114 years, 2 months
1 and a few days. We do not
■ know whether his father owned
the farm or not, nor whether he
went to Haywood county or not.
, But we know by history that af
ter Messer left, it came into pos
. session of Daniel Whitener, the
oldest son of the Pioneer, Henry
, Whitener. It is said that sever
* al of the Messers are buried on
f • his farm, whether it is the old
h 'atherornot. But his son, Fre
derick Messer was borned in Ang
If ist, 1792. the year the old Pio
s ieer, Henry Whitener died,
e Frederick Messer was 16 yean
>ld when Haywood county wa*
n ormed from Rurke county ir
d 1808, to which county he went a'
d che age of 80 and settled on Pig
»on river. About three years ago
Q Robert Hoke went to his house
f with a artist and had a photo
e jraph taken of him and hip
house, and sent one to the writ
* er. With these photographs
1 there also came a letter which
' said that he had an interview
d with him and talked with h-.n
about matters pertaining to h i
life. One ot the tacts he relat
~ ed was that he learned the black
smith trade under Adam Yoder,
) who was born in 1785.
Frederick Messer was one o:
the greatest hunters of his day.
He lived and died on Pigeon riv
er, about 21 mile 3 from Waynes
ville, Haywood county seat.

AILING WOMEN
How Many Perfectly Well Women
Do You Know?
M 1 am not feeling very well,** "I
am so nervous it seeing as though I
should fly." "My back aches as though
it would break."
How often do you hear these signi
ficant expressions _ from women
friends. More than likely you speak
the same words yourself, and there
is a cause.
More than thirty years ago Lydia
E Pinkham of Lynn. MasS. discovered
the source of nearly all the suffering
endured by her sex. "Woman's Ills,
these two words are full of more
misery to women than any other two
words that can be found in the
English language. Sudden fainting,
depression of spirits, reluctance to
go anywhere, backaches, headaches,
nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing
down sensations, displacements and
irregularities are the bane of woman s
existence.
The same woman who discovered
the cause of all this misery also
discovered a remedy. Lydia E. Pinlt
ham's Vegetable Compound made
from native roots and herbs holds
the record for a greater number of
absolute cures of female ills than any
other one remedy the world has ever
known and it is the greatest blessing
which ever caine into the lives of
suffering women.
Don't try to endure, but cure the
cause of all your suffering. Lvdia L.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at
once removes such troubles. The
following letters prove this :
