THURSDAY, JULY 28, 1021. C. M. THOMPSON ON INDIAN SUBJECT flefore the white man came and be gan to clear and civilize this part of Georgia, there livid here a noble race of people known as Indians. T hey, of coarse, had names for persons, places and streams. We shall endeavor to give a few of them as we have heard them from hearsay anil history: Tishina uga— Mulberry river. Ipsequilto—Cedar Creek. Appa iachee —the sa me. Tanrulaboule —Beech < 'reek. Talnpahoo —A creek near Tyro school house. Okloco —Hog Mountain Itoad. Huodon —Indian town near Winder.

Fort Yargo—-Near Carter Hill school still standing. Sfloquot, Elitobay, Camas tooka, No vuark— Indians who lived at Fort Yaf go. Modiu, ids wife Nyrulyn, and four children, Nora Sura, Mora Notha, Ne va, und Adra Axter, were Indians who lived at Snodon (Winder). Inomatuhataga lived on Pea Ridge. Inomatawsinga lived near Statham, at Green Arnold's old mill site. Oklogee lived on l’riee Mountain near County Line. Tullassee lived near Prospect church on the road from Tullassee bridge to Alliens These four sigped a treaty that gave to Jackson county the “Wofford settle ment” Inomatuhata and Inomatawsinga were brothers and descendants of Mis penth and Queen Lutliro (Moon Spirit) Umasnugn, an Indian chief, who sold to Richard Easley, Abednego Moore and Johnson J Strong an angle of land thus described: Beginning at I’ 11. Smith's, known as Calamit, following the Monroe and Jefferson road to at one time liocky Ford a half mile north of Tyro school, thence westerly to Ce dar Crook church on Hog Mountain road, thence along said road to the be ginning. The consideration was a string of beads, therefore, it is called by some headland. In the year 171)3, Alonio Draper, Herman Scupen and Homer Jackson moved from Tallassee to Snodon (Win der). These people found only one fam ily living in this deserted town, his name being Modin and Ills wife Nyru lyn. This couple had two daughters, Morn, nicknamed Bluebird, and Nera Nara. Tills girl was admired by an Indian, Watleskew by name, and he talked love while she would not. He killed her on the flat rock near the present school building in Winder. Watleskew was caught at Thoinoco giu (Jefferson), slain and brought back to Node roc and thrown in the mud vol cano. Nera was buried near the old cemetery at the school building. Nera Xara was the sweetheart of Vnmsaugua This man was born on the Chattahoochee near Columbus, Ga., His father was Okokobee ami his moth er was a Muscogee princess by name, Klota He had one sister, Eltomura, and one brother, Etohautee, I'mausiigua found a girl on a battle field, ral*Hi her, and called her Hanna the Beautiful. She was the daughter of Mardevedo, of Spain, and Elancydue an orphan. In after years Banna and Johnson J. Strong plighted eternal friendship and love on the same flat rock where her sister was killed. . The home of Modln was near the Dr. 4htwnders old home? This couple had two boys as well as two girls, the boys were Notha Neva and Adra Alter. This last named boy was stolen by the Cher okee Indians at three years of age aud was not heard from until grown. He was employed by Governor Mathews. Jk year before Jackson comity was cre ated. Governor Mathews stopped in .Huudoti. took dinner with the Modlu family aud was fed turkey. The In dians give him several turkeys. He could not tnke them with him. but promised to send a handsome Indian lad for them, and warned Mern, telling her she would fall in love with him. The lad came and proved to be the long lost boy, Adra Aster. Tlu* mother of those four children. Myrul.ru, was a granddaughter of So'hey. a full-blooded Creek woman. The grandfather was Mischance, of the French army. Myrulyn was a niece of Alexander McGlUrray, and a lineal descendant of latehlan McGill vray Mem and I>r. George Singleton became very much attached to each other, hut there is no proof that they evor married. Other Indian names that we find at that time were the following. Quakow, an Indian lad who lived at Hnodon, and Hirnaco, a Cherokee S,> Wauto. an Indian, who stole two girls on the east side of Jackson county. Taiitcbiee, a chief who lived in what DOUGLAS DAIR.BAKUCS.. AT THE STRAND THEATER TUESDAY, AUGUST 2. is now Gwinnett county.

Yrtyrmyrisoo was a leader of the Bohuron tribe. Lapsidali, an Indian squaw lived with her brother, Omonaco on the Tar exulaboule (Beech Creek). They were basket makers and built them a hut of bark twigs and mud near the creek where they could more easily get ma terial for their baskets. In studying the various treaties with the Indians for lands which now form a part of Georgia we find from the Tal lassee section these names: Inomatuhata —Fat King. Inomatawtusinga—Top War King. Okolega—Mad Fish. Alaehngo—Tallassee King. Hiteheto —Cusa King. Sugahacho—Coweta King. Other names are as follows: Hopothe, Opey Mieo, Totkeshaujon, Opototaclie, Othey Pay Mico. C. M. THOMPSON.
