A , considerable amount of preparation of the soil was necessary before the j seed could bo planted. The ladies j began their work earnestly but it j was not long before several loyal j and big hearted men came over to their assistance in helping prepare j the soil and removing the three large stumps remaining on the ground, j Messrs. Harve Weaver and Mark j Pattofr* are to be * commended for , their contribution toward this work, j They furnished their teams for the | hauling of stable manure and fertile soil which was used for the seed beds and scattering over the ground. Rev. C. S. Plyler and Mr. Marvin Alexander will donate several loads of manure for this same purpose if someone will haul it. Many more loads are needed to cover the entire square to give new food to the love ly old maples and make a good bed for the grass seed which are to be sewn at a later date. Several boys also aided in the work Tuesday afternoon by gather ing the scattered stones from the grounds. The Club greatly appreciates what each did toward this work. But this time and work will have been in vain if the town authorities do nod enforce the stock and poultry law, thus lending their support and co operation to the Woman’s Club. sand as working capital has been subscribed by Clay County people. The directors will call for this stock 'to be paid within a few days and work of construction will begin. Clay County farmers are now shipping a great volume of cream to Franklin creamery, and the cost of shipping this cream amounts to over approximately $3,000.00 per year on the present production. With the creamery here and cream routes established throughout Clay County, N. C., and Towns and Un ion Counties, Ga., a greater amount of cream will be collected. “Have you figured out your al lowance?” “No. What’s the use in bother ing about nothing.” W. L.

Former Clay County Man Killed by Switch Engine in Colorado William Luther Melton, age ahout 36 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Melton of Towns County, Ga., but formerly of Clay County, was acci dentally killed by a switch engine near Trinidad, Colo., on Mav 11th. Mr. Melton was a section fore man for the A. T. & S. Fe Railway Company, having rendered more than six years service at this parti cular job. Immediately after eat ing his lunch on the day of the fatal accident he went on the railway yard during a snow storm and was sweep ing snow from the tracks when a passenger train passed and in step ping from the track on which the passenger train was running to an other track and being attracted by the passing passenger train and in the almost blinding snow storm a switch engine backed against him, knocking him down and pushing his body some 180 feet before he was finally dumped on the side with a pile of snow where a track walker passing in about 20 minutes discov ered him. He was rushed to a hos pital where it was found that his hack was broken and other injuries that resulted in his death 5 hours later. He was conscious until the end and uttered consoling words to his family and friends before life ebbed away. , * His remains were brought to Towns County, Ga., accompanied by his family and a Mexican friend who was the track-walker who found Melton after the accident and inter ment was made in the Fodders Creek Cemetery Sunday, May 20th.

Mr. Ferguson Chance Fractures His Foot Mr. Ferguson Chance, while re moving dirt for the Valley River Southern Railway, on the south side of the bridge on bank at curve just before reaching the bridge, the bank caved in covering Mr. Chance up, all but his head, and crushed his foot. Mr. Chance had to dig out. * BlOw 'PHY OF HIRA^ROSE By ]. V. A. MOORE Hiram and wife Rachel, were born in Yancey County, N. C. Mjv. Rose was an inventive*'-geniu9 ana finished carpenter. While a young man he served his people there to * the fruits of his noble skill as mill wright. building mills and other commodities of that day. He and beautiful Rachel having added about ten sons and daughters to- their home as well as some son-in-laws. All of these being of a progressive nature had strong impulses to seek fortune and fame further west. Perhaps at the dewy eve as they would sit and watch the sun hide his face in a sea of gold they would think of this fer tile territory. So later they mutu ally agreed to start for our Hiawas -ee Valley. Securing six yoke of oxen and wagons they and Joseph Pare being a sailor of the briney ieep started here. They travelled fpr days with those vehicles camp ing out at nights. I presume, singing songs and eating venison, hams, tur kev, squirrel, quail etc. Reader I wish you and I could have heard those stalwart bovs and blushing maidens with their long tresses _ hanging about their Shoulders sing ing. “We are bound for the Prom ised Land,” their faces shining with joy and heavenly love. They had never heard of powder, paints, and puffs. Their faces were painted with health by climbing hills and bluffs. Several days later they came to the Tusquittee mountains, clearing their way and making a rude road as they came, reaching the Tusquit tee Gap overlooking this county. They cleared the road and wended their way down this precipitous mountain being the first to traverse this lofty mountain range with a wagon. Reaching the foot-hills, they rested overnight amid the howl ing, pf the .wolves and the sweet not ed feathered songsters where those children could see the mastiff buck and gentle doe browse on those vine clad cliffs and hear the approach of a new day. As there were no alarm clocks then to break the wear ied man’s slumber, the good old rooster had this for his job. A good night’s rest, they then started for the Hiawassee River, landing about where the depot now stands. That being a day of games with the In dians, they watched with keen inter est how they could play ball, dance tec. Mr. Rose and crew seeing no place to build a mill to be operated by water-power, they turned their wagons and landed back near the Robert Henry farm and built there. I suppose, the first mill on Tusquit tee below Andy Ashe’s. This was what they termed a “tub mill,” the water being forced from a race about sixteen feef high, then through a closed shute on to a small wheel. Its meal capacity was about twenty bushels per day. Think of the joy . and happiness to the first settlers of this vicinity as they watched the wheel turn. They stood with smiles of delight as the meal ran down knowing how they prior to this day had to beat their corn, boil homi nv, or pack their meal fifty miles or more. Mr. Rose had the great est invention of this locality to serve this people. The next mill was built by him on Chair Makers Branch. I am informed the mud sills are there now. The next mill to dot the valley was the one at Al len Dailey’s. He and his sons cut this race to carry the water. His next enterprise was to build, I sup pose, the first saw mil} in Clay County on Toonie Creek. This was run by water and sash saw, similar in looks to a cross-cut, hut the first being awed by whip-saw, -by two men, one standing on log and the other in a pit tinder the log. Mr. Rose’s saw mill cut boards to build many houses in Clay, one of these was the Andy Barnard house, anoth er Johnson house, and another John • C. Moore’s house and others. Then he sawed lumber for the flfior for the first school and church house built south of the Tidwell schbol (Continued on p&gre 6)
