Several incidents thit I have named
in former articles and some in this, I
from my grand-mother and my
father. They were among the fint
comers tOfthat country. They came
from Knoxville, Tenn. The first
comers did hot expect to settle. They
came for the game, especially bear,
as they were all valuable, the skin,
the oil and the meat. They could
dry bear meat and keep it for sum
mer. These first comers were not
“offals”; they were well to do and
they were educated. My grand-moth
er was an educated woman.
The going to North iCarolina wild
mountains in those days was equal to
going to Califonia in ‘49. When a
man or a family would decide to set
tle there, they first thing they did
was to hunt for a spring. This ac
counts for the hill country being
settled before it was along the river.
Well do I remember when there was
little land cultivated along the river
and the large swamps and lagoons.
My understanding was that in buying
or homesteading govermqnt land,
those swamps were not counted in
your plot as that land was considered
worthless.
An incident: When I was about
twenty, Squire Ben Wilson took Cal
loway Duckworth, his son. Bob, and
myself over to Island Ford to show
us the beginning corner of a tract
of land he owned there. After
showing the corner and how the lines
ran, he said, “Some day there is go
ing to be trouble in this, country
over land titles.” My father often
said, “The land that is counted worth
less is the best land in the country.”
On the old farm where I was raised,
there was about a half a mile of
swamps. Father ditched and dryed
it out and it was fine land.
When I was married and left the
old farm it was in fine shape. We
were makin lots of stuff. All the
roads on the farm went to the barn
lot. Father never would set a price
on his farm. As I write this, I am
seeing the old place as it looked when
I left it;
I will give one more incident of the
early life of the new comers as
father told it to me. He said they
depended on the woods for their
meat. This was just after he and
mother were married. Late one even
ing, Mother told him she needed meat
for breakfast. He took His gun and
went up in the hills to kill a deer.
He went as far as the head of the
Tan Tough branch, but found no deer.
The sun v/as down. He started down
the branch home. About half way
down he walked right onto a little
slink deer. A panther had just
caught and cut its throat. The blood
was running warm. He out with his
butcher knife, took out the intrals,
skinned down two legs, hunter style,
swung it on his shoulder and started
heme. Which was only about a half
mile. He had gone but a few steps
when the panther came up behind him,
got hold of the deer and tried to pull
it from him. When he would stop it
would let loose but when he started
on again it would get hold again.
As he got over the yard fence, the
panther made another effort to get the
deer. Father afterwards said, “I felt
syter mean. It was out of meat as
well as I, and.it had run that deer
down to get it and was loathe to give
it up.” he continued, “I felt like I
had stolen it.”
It is supposable that there is but
a few of the homes that was settled
by the early comers that is owned by
any of the family today. As a rule,
it is the third purchaser that becomes
the settler. The two first owners do
hard work and the third one enjoys
it . He Stays i^th it.
The present generation of tho na
tives should be proud of their r.nces-
tors. They were of good blooc*; hero-
es anid heroines of the forest, worthy
♦ t ' f , ^
of cumulation in man^ res'pects. As to
civic righteousness, they were one

White Sewing Machine Manager Be
lieves Tanlac Will Help All Other
Sufferers.
“If it hadn’t been for what other
people said about Tanlac I might be
suffering yet, and nobody need fear
troubles like I had as • long as Tanlac
is made,” said H. A. Morrison, local
manager for White Sewing Machine
Co., Dallas Tex., and living at 3517
Brown street, that city.
“I suffered from a long-standing
and stubborn case of stomach
trouble,” he continued, “My stomach
was nearly always full of gas that
gave me no end of misery, and I had
to quit eating most everything but
broth and other light diet. 1 had such
an awful pain in my righ side that I
couldn’t stand up straight and some
times I would almost double up in
agony. I had terrible headaches, my
sleep was so broken it didn’t do me
any good and I felt tired and worn
out all the time.
“I read of a man in Tennessee who
had gotten relief from the same
trouble as mine by taking Tanlac, so
I decided to try it. * Before I had
finished my first bottle I began to
feel better and a few more made me
feel like a different man. I get as
hungry as a bear at meal times, eat
anything I want and nothing hurts me
at all. I sleep as sound as a log
and get up full of life and energy,
I have already gained eight pounds
and my work is a real pleasure to me
now.”
