Tra very much interested in the

In years gone by there roameoU
the forest an old Indian:; His head
had become white with the trials
of many., winters. His form had be
come tottery - over tha chase of
many a deer. To the , sad fate of
this poor Indian, as he chased the
deer over the mountain peaks, over
rivers, and down the lea. his form
was lost. As night came on, and the
children missed their relished sup
per of deer, they began to cry out
Qualla! Qualla!" k
There, upon, the Indian spouse,
add brokenhearted children, took
the trail that had so often led this
famous hunter into the forest. As
they went over the vale - and down
the dell, they shouted far and wide,
Qualla! Qualla!" ,'.,;
The echo of that little group on
the mountain side, has resounded
down through the ages past " and
gone, until the present time we re
lished the legend to the extent, that
we ha ve named onr township Qualla,
Today, Qualla has not forgotten
the path her namesake trod. - She is
still thriving not with the wild
animals of the nast. but with
the echo of boys and girls, live stock
and agricultural products so enor
mous, and bountiful, that if the im
mortal Qualla could look down from
the happy hunting grounds : iboLve
he pould not distinguish it, from the
land to which he belongs. He would
hot see the trees in his former hunt-;
ing ground, in their wild, but natural
form; and once the haunt of squirrel
and the .home of the bird; but a land
dotted with trees, bearing fruit more
brilliant, supplying the needs of the
white man. Neither would he see
tho mountain sides covered with
wild ferns and , gigantic trees but
animals browsing upon them, that
if the soul of the Indian could echo
back to his native land; it; would
explain why should not the spirit
of the Incuan be proud? Then toss
ing his head witfl a crown of golden
pJurQage he looks on the. .waters of
Socq Creek, and sees his coroer-
coiored frieiicl robed garment
like that of his white companion
with no desire to follow tbit trail
his, ancestors trod, nor lie in secret
ha,unt- to catcJU Ms! prey; nox
with th nAture of the Indian
of losng ago, but with, that same
spirit that his great master taught
Drotneriy, wve..
;To4ay, Qualla township exceeds
the vision of its famous Indian !
hunter. It has; grown ki wealth live j
stojok and agnculture . until it has i
fa,r ex.qelled its neighbors. There yet
ies beneath its' bosom, unexcelled
wealth and ,opportunitiea for its
future posterity, ' . , : r
if the oppartunity ever comes for
the famous hunter to return to his
name sake township, he will find
his ones trodded , paths develope d
nto a great highway, carlines and
many otner great improvements.
He will find his red brothers de
veloped into - a stronger and more
enlightened race. Then Qualla town
ship shall forever be. like a beacon
light on a mountain top. to guide
other townships and counties safely
to the other 'shore. v
