I have been asked to write the his tory of this section by several per sons, and while I am not ag well in formed as I would like to be, to un_ derteke such a task, possibly I am as well qua'ified as anyone now liv- J ing here. So if the Editor will give me space in his valuable paper, I , [ will give the readers from time to time what 1 know, and what 1 receiv- j ed by tradition. Green River Cove, now known to many a:? Fishtop, war, the home of & small band of Cherokee Indians when firs discovered by the whites. They made earthenware and stone imple ments as signs of their kiln and pieces of their ware, arrows, ham mers, axes, plows, etcf have been found on the Bradley plantation. The Indians would occasionally raid the Whites in the lower settle, ments. The last raid hey made they found a woman and her boy out Bet ting pine! They killed the boy and scalped both. It is not known whether they let the mo her go on purpose, or that they overlooked her each thinking that some other had killed her, as she pretended to be dead. She gave he alarm to some other families. They gathered up a bunch of men and came to the Cove and killed five of the bucks and re_ turned. The rest of the colony mov- ? (d out leaving the settlemen' which' tho whites soon took possession of useing it as a resort for hunting and fishing for many years. Samuel Spencer first took gran s for land, 600 and a 200 acre tracts; ; Then Thomas Justice 100, James Gad, 50 (on Gad's Creek) and others, j Men of note first occupied this sec 'ion, such men as General Miller, Ah- j ram Sted John Mills , and several f family of Morrises. The Morrisses were Methodists, and Governor Brownlow of Tennessee preached for the Settlement, Columbus Pace's mother who was the daughter of Richard Morris waH born on the j Bradley farm Fishtop Postofflco was es ablishod 38 years ago with T. E. Pace as Post j master which he still holds. It took | its name from the Falls at the upper J end of the cove on Green River, and Fish op Falls took its name from the I fact that it was the highest point | that fish could go, having reference j to shad and other salt water fish; as eel and trout and jumping sucker would climb over where tho water i was high. They were not consider ed a game fish in those days. There was a grist mill at the rail 100 years ago, which washed away about 74 or , 75 years ago. There was also one on Laurel Branch (or creek) and it washed away in the ?ame freshet. There was a bolting do h at this mill, and a large sycamore log was used for the chest. O Mr.(. Philbeck and young son who have been stopping at Boxwood Inn for eleven weeks have returned to their home in Chicago.

KeadytoUse A HEALTHY MOTOR The motor of a good automobile,4 when in first class condition, is one of the finest mechanisms on earth. Its smooth flow of power, capable of generating high speed, is one of the marvels of the age. On the other hand, a motor that is not in the best condition is not a very efficient piece of machinery. Nothing can beat an automobile motor for "getting out of whack" all the time. This is usually due to carelessness on the part of the owner. A motor must be treated right, and care must be taken to see that it is kept pro perly adjusted. Consult with us any time on the condition of your car. Of course we stock ACCESSORIES, TIRES, RE PAIR PARTS, and have GAS and OIL SER VICE. Sikes Motor Company COLUMBUS, N.
