A Story from Georgia That Is Pleasant
Enough to BE True.

A Story from Georgia That lis Pleasant
Enough to BE True.
The little city of Dalton, in North
Georgia, 125 miles south of here, rich
in war memories, has other traditions
of more pleasant kind, and among
them is one about John Howard Payne.
When the Cherokees were corraled for
expectation from North Georgia and
East Tennessee to what is now Indian
Territory Payne was one of the whites
at the frontier settlements of Cross
Plains, located where Dalton now
stands. Many of the Indians, 10th to
leave the homes of their childhood
and of their tribe for generations, tried
very ingenious methods of lodging
officers. Payne several times shielded
them. Complaint was made against
him, a warrant was issued, and
he was arrested alterward by
Sheriff Underwood at the home of
ola John Ross, hereditary chief of the
Cherolxees, whose log cabin still stands
in the now suburbs of Chattanooga
PAYNE, evidently with the thoughts of
the homeless Indians in his mind, be-
can to sing the first stanza of his now
world famous song, then unpublished,
.Home. Sweet Home The pioneer
sheriff stood stiff as the words fell
upon his ear.
.sWhat song is thatP" he asked, as
the first verse ended.
"It's little composition of my own,"
answered Payne.
sSing me somemore-sing all of it, :"
acclaimed the frontiersman.
And Payne did sing it, with such
brit and understanding that the
eriff's feelings got the better of him,
d he told Payne he could help the
I dams as much as he pleased. - CHAT
