The County Court

The most important acts oi
the county court, Monday, were
tha election of four members of
the county equalization board
without opposition, upon motion
of Squire Simouds.
The court ordered the census
of the 9th district taken to see
il the Dorch law applies. to it,
which merely makes the county
pay for a Repub ublican poll OF the
district. as such census would
have no standing in law and the
court had no more right 10 Go it
than it had TO obligate the coun.
ty funds TO attorneys fees in the
suit about the Dorch law IN the
Sth district.
The court ordered the building
OF small bridges in the first dis
trict and one across the Ocoee
river between the Gates ford
and Reynolds ford.

Dispute over
Contract; Fight.

A case of the state versus
Flavius Bates, charged with
tresspassing, and assault and
battery, was given preliminary
hearing in the county court room
here Saturday afternoon, before
Esquires Williamson, Shearer
and Prince. The dispute arose
over an oral contract made by
the defendant and Franklin
Lewis in regard to Bates hauling
tutu assr over some land 0wued by
Lewis. Lewis swore that the
contract provided that Bates
could haul over the land only in
dry weather. 1t seems that after
a rain had fallen Bates continu-
ed to haul over the land aud
Lewis gave him notice to stop.
Seeing that this did not accom-
plish anything, be went and
locked the gate. Bates returned
about the time Lewis had finish
ed, proceeded to tear down tie
gate and drive into the field,
and a fight ensued, in which it
seems that Lewis got the worst.
Bates was bound 10 circuit court
m his own recoguizance in both |
cases.
The state was represented By
Hon. B B. c. Witt, and the d..
tense by Atty. John Shamblin.
The room was full OF spectators

MONUMENT TO GRAVE OF
NANCY WARD Is CERTAINTY
BY J. D. CIemmer.
By J. D. CIemmer.

When the breath left her body
the superstitlous attendants and
relatives saw light rise up and
float out of the cabin door. A
little eastward from the great
Indian War Path, which crossed
Occee about a quarter below, her
remains were buried in the usual
Cherokee custom. Among the
mourners, We know of but three
by name. Her grand daughter
Bette Harlan with her husband
Peter Hildebrand, took their
four year old son, John w along
the war path from where they
lived near the mouth of Four
Mile branch, and attended the
funeral. A cherished honor
always remembered by being
often told to him was the fact
that his parents had taken him
when four years old to the fun
sral of Granny Ward" In
keeping with the custom of
burying belongings with their
dead, skillet was placed in her
grave. She had introduced |
cattle among the Cherokees, and /
perhaps the skillet was an en-
oiem of the improved cooking
vessels introduced probably by
her English parent or herseis.

Active steps are being taken
to erect suitable monument to
honor the history and perpetuate !
the memory of the most noted
woman of the Cherokee nation !
as it made its last stand against
the white people. For long {
years this celebrity was the 7
head woman of the Gherokees,
and her spoken word settled the L
question of life or death for +
captives. t
In the towns along the little f
Tennessee, enc being Chota, Fl
the CITY of Refuge, she spent 4
her palmy days, and from there Ii
went forth on efrands of peace n
and mercy among both Indian fl
and pale face, often being the a
means of saving settlers lives, O
and sometimes acting as media Il
tor between the white military "
commanders and tRe Indian g
chiefs. K
