CHEROKEE COUNTY (KETCHES.
SO. 111.
A considerable excitement prevail
ed for a di,y or two among tlie early
settlers of Cherokee, at one time, on
account of a rei»ort which said that a
company of Creek Indians, numlxT
ing several hundred, was encamped
in the neighborhood of “ Proctor’s
l.t**nd,” a distance of five miles below
our father’s residence, on the river.
It was supposed that their intention.-
were hostile, and a company of whites
was formed to look after them, and
ascertain the cause of their visit. We
remember swing those soldiers as
they stopp«*d to consult at our father’s
house one* night, on their way to tin
scene of action. They were “armed
and equipped as tin* law directs.” and
presented quite an imposing apjjear
aiice to us who were utt«*rly unused
to j car. We believe that our esteem
t*W old friend, Col. John P. Brooke,
who is still living, and ilaj. John
McConnell, another valuable citizen*
who died several years ago, were
among the number. They marched
“ under the cover of night,” in the
direction of the supposed enemy, and
just before reaching their encamp
ment, some drunken fellow made a
noisy demonstration, and all the In
dian men escaped, leaving quite a
number of squaws and children as
prisoners, and several ponies as spoils
of uar. All night long we heard the
howling of dogs, and the neighing ol
horses, and our feelings were not ol
the most pleasant character; hut
when morning light approached, and
the soldiers returned, our fears were
dissipated, and we learned that those
Creeks had not visited our section with
any hostile intentions, but had come
merely on a friendly visit to some ol
their relations. Their ponies, squaws
and other property were restored to
them, and thus the war ended.
The Indians, in a few instances,
committed the most horrible mur
ders. We remember the ease ol
Tooth-Pick, who murdered a whole
family of whites in Cass county, in a
most shocking manner. Wocanno.
now recall the names of the unfortu
nate victims, but we remember that
he confessed, or it was proved that he
killed the father and mother, set the
house on lire and threw the children
into the flames! It was said that one
of the little boys clung to his sleeve
until it was torn off, and the poor
little fellow was thrown into the fire!
What a demon incarnate that Indian
must have been! In arresting him
lie was shot in the arm, and there be
ing no secure jail at Cassviile, he was
carried to Canton for safe keeping,
and after a few days it became neces
sary to amputate the wounded limb.
Our father was called on to perform
the operation. He said that Tooth-
Pick seemed perfectly indifferent
while it was going on, and never
moved a muscle. lie was tried, con
demned, taken back to Cassviile and
hanged.
The principle diet of the Indians
was “connehany,” or hominy. This
was prepared by putting com in large
wooden mortars, and crashing ii
with long wooden pestles. They
then boiled it with a little salt, and it
was ready for the table, if there had
been one. We were frequently amus
ed on witnessing them in the act ol
taking their meals. They would
place a pot of connehany on the floor,
and all gather around it with large
wooden spoons, and each made good
use of the time in searching for the
bottom. It sometimes happened that
a poor hungry dog would come in for
his share, and would begin to lap out
of the pot, when an old squaw would
squall out, “skener /” and strike the
intruder on the head with her spoon,
drive him oil' howling, and then re
sume her eating!
We lived amongst the Indians
about four years, and were glad when
it was announced that they were all
to be taken away to the West, though
there were a few among them with
whom we regretted to part. We re
member well the occasion when the
soldiers came to gather up those who
were in our immediate neighborhood.
We were playing with some little In
dian boys in an old tieid as the troops
marched along the road, keeping
time to the music of drum and life,
and as we peeped through the cracks
of the fence, we were deeply impress
ed with the “pompaiulcircumstance
ol glorious war!” Some of the poor
Indians wept bitterly on bidding u
last lureweil to their homes, the
graves of their kindred and friends,
and the many objects around which
their affections twined with the fond
est devotion; while others again put
on a cheerful appearance, and seemed
willing to go. We have always
thought that the fate of those poor
creatures was a hard one, but perhaps
they have been justly dealt with, yet
we think that the conduct of the
whites towards them has not been
strictly in accordance with the Gold
en ltuh in every particular.
In t.*e spring of 1838, we saw nine
hundred Cherokees pass our father’s
house on their way to their homes in
the West. Our heart was tender
then, and to us it was a sad sight.
Many of them recognized us, and
told us good-bye as they passed
along.
Old Stop, a chief q!' the tribe, was
a good man, and our father esteemed
him very highly, it was raining on
the morning of their departure, and
our father gave his old friend an um
brella. He returned many thanks
for the present, and remarked to our
father that he would never need such
an article again, as that was the last
rain that would ever fall upon the
white people. The old chief was
mistaken, however, for we have had
several tine seasons since that time,
to our certain knowledge.
We will now take our leave of the
Indians, as we have seen them leave
for the West, and in our next sketch
we will have something to say about
the whites who first settled Cherokee,
and other scenes and incidents con
nected with the early history of the
county.

CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 16, 1873.
Till: FAUEE.
No calling is more independent than
that of the fanner. No matter how
stock may fluctuate, what panics may
occur in the money markets, he is
independent of all these, the necessa
ries, and many of the luxuries of life
—many luxuries, indeed, which
wealth cannot buy—a sound mind, a
-trong and healthy body, sweet sleep
and contentment, offsprings of health
giving labor and quiet life.
Yet with all these advantages, no
calling is carried on with less system,
we speak of the masses) less thought,
study and maturity of plans, and con
sequently no class Is more imposed u{>-
on. If the fanner, with all the ad
vantages of his calling would add sys
tem to his labors, and correctness of
action in his transaction, instead of
being looked down upon, as is too of
ten the case, by the more genteel (?)
professions, he would, in truth, bethe
•lord of the manor,’ as he is the bone
and sinew of the nation. There is a
plain read which leads directly to this
position for the farmer, and that is
concert of action. Merchants have
their boards of trade and their meet
ings on ‘change,’ Printers their typo
graphical unions, teachers their asso
ciations and institutes, the various me
chanics their respective unious—all
the trades and professions have means
] of securing harmony of action, while
the farmer, single handed and alone,
not knowing, practically speaking,
what his merest neighbor is doing,
with no system of concerted effort
must combat all these united influen
; ccs, for they all depend upon him for
their daily bread; and is it any
j wonder that he comes out of the bat
-1 tie of life with colors trailing in the
dust.
Is it retorted that the farmer lias
his agricultural fairs and cattle show?
What are they? Too often mere exhi
bitions of accidental prodigies, con
trolled frequently by other professions
in which premiums are paid for slow
mules, and leafs of equestrianism,
where not a single idea is interchang
ed in regard to saving labor, increas
ing the yield of crops, advancing the
value of farm products, improving the
condition of the farm and its soil, ele
vating the farmer himself. What the
farmer wants is system in his labor, ]
experiment and improvement. Far
mers should form societies, having at
least semi-annual meetings, not for
the purpose of mere useless exhibi
tion, but for the purpose of compar
ing notes, giving the result of their
experiments, and having plans for the J
future, taking into account all their
labor and expense—the cost of given j
products, that reasonable gains may be
put upon them. How often-are farm
products sold for less than the actual
cost of production —the fanner and
his family toiling life away, and re
ceiving for their labor no just recom
pense, and so it will ever be while the
farmer is content to work single hand
ed, without regard to his own or his
neighbor’s interest, taking no note of
his own operations, and having scarce
ly a thought ahead. The time is past
when all the thinking, and all the
writing, and all the speaking must be
done by the professions. Every far
mer should be bis own thinker and |
his own actor, and these thoughts and ,
actions should be directed to the suc
cess of his calling.
Would the trades and professions J
look with jealousy upon such amove- j
ment? They would have no cause]
for jealousy. Their "own prosperity
would be secured by it. Tell «s the
condition and business habits of the
farmers of a community, and we will
tell you the condition of the trades
and professions of that community.
As the farmers prosper, so will
those around them prosper. All are i
alike interested in the thrift of the ag- ]
rieultural classes. Let the farmers be
true to themselves, then, no longer j
content to drag along in the plodding j
furrows of the ancients, but come forth I
as the men they are, and regulate and ;
control their own glorious calling.— I
Golden Era.
INJURIES TO THE NORSK THAT MAY RE
EASILY AVOIDED.
Many horses are made vicious from
cruel treatment.
More horses fail from weariness than
from any other cause.
When a horse falls, he is more
frightened than his rider.
A frightened animal cannot use its
senses aright; it must be first re-as
sured by gentle treatment.
It is speed that kills the horse.
Never strike an animal upon the
head.
Careless application of the whip has
blinded many horses.
More horses are lamed from bad
shoeing than from all other causes to
gether.
Never kick nor scream at a horse
nor jerk the bit in his mouth.
A Good Way' of Cooking On
ions. —lt is a good plan to boil onions
in milk and water $ it diminishes the
strong taste of that vegetable. It is
an excellent way of serving up onions,
to chop them after they are boiled and
put them in a stew-pan with a little
milk, butter, salt and pepper, and let
them stew about fifteen minutes.
This gives them a fine flavor, and
they can be served up very hot.
Boiled Indian Pudding.— Take
one pint of sour milk, half a teacup of
molasses, two tablespoonfuls of but
ter and lard, one tablespoonful of so
da, one-half cup of chopped raisins,
or any kind of fruit; stir in corn
meal as thick as can be stirred. Boil
two hours in a tin pudding dish, with
a lid to shut tight, leaving room to
rise. Serve with sugar and cream,
flavored with lemon or vanilla, or
sweet sauce or syrup.
Peas. —Sow peas on your worn out
lands, and just before frost turn under
the vines, and sow wheat. In this
way continue to alternate with peas
and wheat, and you will soon restore
your lands, and be well paid for your
labor.
A cheap way to make manure, is to
haul muck from the swamps and mix
lime with it. In many places large
quantities of excellent manure might
be made in this way, during the win
ter months.
To Keep Weevils our of
Wheat. —We have often tried put
ting china leaves and berries in wheat
to keep out the weevil, and when we
have used this preventive freely, we
have never been troubled with those
insects.
TO PURIFY A ROOM.
Set a pitcher of water in a room,
and in a few hours it will have ab
sorbed all the respired gasses in the
room, the air of which will become
purer, but the water perfectly filthy.
The colder the water is the greater
the capacity to contain these gasses.
At ordinary temperature a pail of wa
ter will contain a pint of carbonic acid
gas and several pints of ammonia.
The capacity is nearly doubled by re
ducing the water to the temperature
of ice. Hence, water kept in a room
awhile is always unfit for use. For
the same reason the water from a
pump should always be pumped out
In the morning before any of it is used,
impure water is more injurious than
impure air.
Clover. —We are convinced that in
order to raise clover in this country, it
must be sown on rich land. To sow
it on poor soil, is to throw away time
and money. Make a small patch rich
every year, sow it in clover, and you
will soon have hay in abundance.
The present dry spell of weather
gives the farmers a good opportunity
to clear their crops of grass and weeds.
Now is the time to conquer those en
emies. If the ground has been well
broken, it is more important to plow
often tliau deep.
