out, a.; this late hour that the pev

would be mjces.iiir wbclore me market

Just why it he permission of the Fed-'

is another thing thai we cannot ex
plain, since the Eastern liond of Cher j

and so far us we know, no permission
has ever been granted by it he State

CHURCH ELECTS DEACONS"
- At the annual business conference
of the Firs't Baptist church, held last
Sunday morning, Messrs. L. P. Allen,
.John R. Jones and J. V. Hall were
, elected deacons, to serve for a period
of three yeare.
' served in the armv, navy, or marines
corps of the United States.
When the North Carolina Divis
ion, United Daughters of the Confed
eracy put on a campaign to stimulate
gi eater interest among the chapters
in local history, the Haywood chap
ter, of which Mrs. W. A. Hyatt was
Historian, began the study of the regi
menjts :n the Confederate army from
Western North Carolina, and in that
way her interest was amused in the
{Companies of Cherokee Indians which
formed a pant of the "Thomas Leg
ion". The Indians had been urged by
Union sympathizers in East Tennessee
to join them, and several proposals
much to t.heir advantage had been
made them, but the Indians had al
ways been oh friendly terms with
the white people, so they hesitated to
make war 011 their neighbors, espec
ially as their sympathy was with them
in 1he defense of their State.
Col. William Holland Thomas, who
\vas3 recognized by them as thei>'
friend and adopted Chief, Hied to
keep then, out oil' t'ne tight, but num
bers of them appealed to various of
ficers who were organizing companies
i?.r permission enL-it.
Wiacji Col. Thomas >.av that shey
were determined lo espouse the cause
c!' States' i;i:;'nl.s, . he formed two
companies, and wil'i more than ninety
per cent of the men .ji the tribe en
listing two full companies "A" and
l"B", were osganizd, under the Stars
land i'ars. ,
When they were li'. u eidistid, thev
were si'iil t(, Virginia; but oo many
of tiieni died ef disease that the regi
ment was reorganized and returned
tb Western North Carolina, where, as
?iwut-s, they were Invaluable, as they
wx^HCamiliar with all the teriitoiy
uesee qncl Noith Cai alina^^ (
While the captains of tliei compan
ies were white, the other officers were
Cheivkees, and splendid .soldiers. A<
too-ga-SU)ga was .1 recognized leader
<f the tribe at the time. He was kill
ed at Cumberland Cap. while on sjx'c
ial detail. I'eter (!r:.yb; ard and Davi?!
Wliitaker were also valuable men, not
only to the. t rB?<1, but as \ol#Iiers e.J'
tln> Confederacy. Siinjtson Sanook re
lated lir.w lie. picked till' lour <>f the
bushwhackers, who overran this sec
tion near i he close of the Wait, coin
ing in from Tennessee through the
Soco country. It was necessary for n he
invaders to cross the creek on foot
through the water, or to u^e a mis
row foot-log, so he ran ahe'id of
them and hid beside the road, took
careful aim and killed the fii^t man
across, lie repeated this four times
with the same re -nit, and then disap
peared into the mountains and h.ime la
the Reservation.
Mrs. Hyatt became so much iinter
estel in the history, fables and folk
lore of the Cherokees that she spoke
of it at the District meeting held in
Franklin in 1933, suggesting that
some day a suitable memorial he
erected in their honor. It seemed that
it was impractical at that time, but
much interest was expressed and a
committee with Mrs. Hyatt as chair
man, was appointed, to formulate
plans and present them the following
year. f t ?
At a meeting held in Andrews, in
1934, Mrs. Hyatt presented plans for
the fountain.
One regret must mar the day; not
one of the old "Boys" who wore the
Confederate Gray will be present
from all that brave Tribe.
Sevier Skitty was the last of those
loyal men who valued the friendship
of friends and neighbors and fought
for the principles in which 'they be
lieved, rather than aecept. the more
profitable offers from the stronger
forces. He died the first of January
this year.
The profile on the bronze tablet was
made from a photograph posed bv
Will West Long, typical Cherokee and
a leader of the tribe of the present
day.

for its timely discovery, and lor the
prompt answer to tiie alarm and ef
ficient work of the Sylva Volunteer
Fire Department, the whole building,
which was gravely threatened, would
have been destroyed.
The lire originated in a closet under
the stairway, and had gained such
headway before the firemen arrived,
that the pool room was a mass 01'
smoke, and the heat so intense thai
the windows in the entrance were
cracked. The stairway burned through
in places, and in a very short time
ingress to the second lloor, where the
relief and law offices arc located,
would have been cut off.
There is also a cafe located in the
building.
The origin of t^io fire is unknown.
