THE “WOG‘S”
COME HOME
It Killed I'ncie liee Hinton’s Dog
Many Years Ago.
(By M. THOMPSON)
The “Wog’s” come home, so look out
hoys. In Ooneral Wilson’s history of
Jackson county we find a story in the
day when the Indians roamed these
hills and hollows, of a ferocious forked
tongued animal of dog shape, over
sized and which had a home on the
headwaters of Barbers Creek at a place
known as Nodoroc. This place is on
the John L. Harris farm. This place
was hailed as the Indian hill, and the
Wog was the devil as he was seen to
enter and leave this place of torment
to man. beast and bird, who chanced
to enter its confines.
The person who has studied this
wonderful animal, varmint or demon
will remember tills Whatever-it-is lias
been appearing at different times and
places from the North Oconee river
to the Chattahoochee. Some time in
the past we heard of him bobbing up
near Atlanta, then near Lawrenceville.
In 1882 or 83 he troubled the waters
and wilds of Curry creek near Jeffer
son.
Along in the 80s he troubled the peo
pie on the foothills of Pea Ridge, kill
Ing dogs, pigs and chickens.
In one of the Wog’s tours he stopped
at a darkey’s house which stood in that
spot, where now stands the home of
Mr. Bradbury on National Highway.
Now,, in passing, if you look on the
lower side between Bradbury’s and
Hammond’s barn there is a flat patch
sinl in this patch were some small call
in stables and other out-buildings.
Here uncle Lee Hinton (now an aged
darkey) built a trap, baited it with
choice steak. The steak was stolen
but the Wog was too wise a guy to be
eaugiht napping. One peculiarity i,n
nil his trails, is that dogs slink away,
drop their tails and could not be pre
vailed upon to chase the Wog Men,
women and ehillron went into their
houses before dark and closed and
barred the doors.
You could just say “Wog” to many a
lttle fretful urchin and there were no
more screams or unheeoming conduct,
from him for quite awhile. Some who
saw this what-is-it said it. looked like
a dog. big as a mule of a brownish color
Some said it was more like a kangaroo
and could junfp like a rabbit. All were
pretty well agreed as to its color.
Uncle Lee Hinton saw it, under his
house when it killed his dog. He said
it had large fierce eyes and was lar
ger than any dog he ever saw. This
what-is-it was so large that there was
much scraping of its back as it crawl
ed out from under this two-foot floor
to earth.
Is the devil coming to his own? This
what-is-it may have migrated and is
now returning to possess his own. He
was probably the original inhabitant
of the (To-rula-bole) Barber creek
swamps, while he strolled leisurely from
Mulberry to Appalachee acroas Cedar
creek and Marbury Creek.
Now, don’t discredit the stories of
the late rambles of the wog, lest you
fleeing from the screams or depreda
tions of the animal. Just wait and
listen as all things come to him who
waits.

More Cars Shake Themselves to
Pieces Than Ever Wear Out
Charge that up to vibration.
Vibration causes cars to grow old
prematurely by racking their chassis,
destroying the “metal life” of vital
parts, loosening up their bodies and
causing squeaks and rattles. Frequent,
costly repairs are the result.
The Studebaker Light-Six is freer
from vibration than any car of its ap
proximate size or weight yet produced.
This has been accomplished largely
by a complete machining of the crank
shaft and connecting rods on all sur
faces—a practice used by Studebaker
exclusively on cars at this price and
found only on a very few other cars
whose selling prices are from three to
ten times as high as the Light-Six.
There are 61 precision operations in
the manufacture of the crankshaft
alone, 40 of which range in accuracy
