"There are yet further advances to be made in the hospital, just as in med- icine itself. With the co-operation of the medical and hospital professions, however, these advances cannot fail to be realized."


On the attending staff are Drs. R. M. and W. P. Harbin and W. H. Lewis, and on the associate staff Drs. Wm. J. Shaw (President), Ross P. Cox, Geo. B. Smith, J. Turner McCall, J. C. Watts, A. C. Shamblin and M. M. Me- Cord. Dr. W. P. Harbin is also physi- cian to the Berry School.

A HISTORY OF ROME AND FLOYD COUNTY.


AN INSTITUTION WITH A FINE RECORD.


The Harbin Hospital, erected by Drs. Robt. M. and Wm. P. Harbin at Third Avenue and East First Street, is not only one of the handsomest structures in the city, but it has scored practically perfect in the rigid test conducted by the American College of Surgeons, and is one of four Georgia hospitals with the highest rating.


Miss Blanche Rakestraw, to whom much of the credit for the success of the institution is due, is superin- tendent; Miss Agnes Gattis is super- intendent of nurses; Miss Velma Owens is night supervisor; Miss So- phie Pintchuck is technician of the clinical laboratory; Miss B. L. Rob- erts is technician of the X-ray labor- atory; W. C. Bell is secretary and treasurer; Miss Nell Sloan is book- keeper; Miss Christine Smith is his- torian; Mrs. C. Bryan is dietician, and Miss Bessie Carlson is reception room clerk.


J. Paul Cooper, whose numerous gifts to public enterprises have placed Rome under lasting obligations, sev- eral years ago bought 100 mg. of ra- dium at a cost of about $11,000, which he placed at the disposal of the hos-


pital, and which has greatly facilitat- ed the treatment of numerous com- plicated cases.

Another company of Highland Ran- gers, from Rome and vicinity, numer- ing 96 men, was listed in The Courier of Saturday, Apr. 12, 1862. It is likely they had been sent to Camp McDon- ald at Big Shanty (Kennesaw) a few days before, for they joined in the cross-country chase the same day after Andrews' wild raiders. The muster roll :

HILLS O' ROME, THE SUBLIM- ATED SEVEN .- Sir Walter Scott must have been standing on a hill ad- miring the place of his birth when he piped in the sixth canto of "The Lay of the Last Minstrel" the following:


"Breathes there the man with soul so dead,


Who never to himself hath said,


'This is my own, my native land!'


Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned


As home his footsteps he hath turned From wandering on a foreign strand?"


For to properly appreciate a place means not alone to grind faithfully through the years; not, in the case of Romans, to ply merely between home and busy Broad; but to climb the heights and there obtain a perspective which nature offers only to those who are willing to climb. Nature's master- piece is well calculated to beget a spirit of progress, pride and achieve- ment, yet how many have ever viewed it? Everybody in Rome has seen Mt. Alto, Lavender and New Shorter Hill from Rome. How many have seen the far more picturesque sight of Rome from Alto, Lavender or Shorter Hill? Poets, bestir yourselves ! Belated climbers, forsake the low ground and mount the heights!


Here are the seven hills, mostly within the city limits, concerning which Rome yields nothing of beauty to her worthy namesake on the historic Ti- ber :


Tower Hill, supporting the majestic clock tower and the Neely grammar school.


Old Shorter Hill, with its castle-like spires, once supporting Shorter Col- lege, whose buildings now fly the flag of the Rome High School.


Lumpkin Hill (Eighth Avenue) , which looks down on the old Seventh Avenue cemetery and Rome from close range.


Blossom Hill, North Rome suburb, which swirling freshets ne'er disturb

soms in spring time furnish a sweet aroma for the breezes to waft over Rome.


Fort Jackson, historic in its battle trenches, and from which North Rome resembles a pearl in a setting of plat- inum, and the Valley of the Oostanaula stretches away to the north like the velvety approach to the palace of a king.


Mt. Aventine, the ridge of mysterious name which parallels the purling Eto- wah in South Rome.


Myrtle Hill, where sleep the patron saints of Rome, who beckon in tender tones for all to come and rest when their earthly tasks are done.


INDIAN CLANS .- There were orig- inally seven clans in the Cherokee In- dian nation: Wolf, Deer, Paint, Long- hair, Bird, Blind (or Long) Savan- nah and Holly. John Ross belonged to the Bird clan, Major Ridge to the Deer, Clement Neeley Vann and David Vann probably to the Wolf. The cus- toms relevant to the clan system fell into disuse shortly after 1800 .*


The seal of the Cherokee Nation was a double circle with a seven-pointed star (each point representing a clan) in the center; between star points and inner circle was a wreath; in the space between circles were some Sequoyan characters, in the center of which were the letters "cwy." Prosperous members of the various clans today use this seal on their stationery, and surmount it with a wolf, bird or other object re- ferring to their particular clans. *


INDIAN DISTRICTS .- The Com- mittee and Council of the Cherokee Nation in 1820 divided the remaining territory into eight districts, and Chas. R. Hicks, principal chief, approved them, according to The Laws of the Cherokee Nation, published by the Cherokee Advocate Office, Tahlequah, Indian Territory, 1852. The districts were Amoah, Aquohee, Challoogee, Chickamaugee, Coosewatee, Etowah, Hickory Log and Tahquohec. Chal loogee, Chickamaugee, Coosewattee and Etowah included Floyd County, and several of them cornered at "Forks of Coosa." The descriptions are:


1-The First District shall be called by the name Chickamaugee, and be bounded as follows: Beginning at the mouth of Armuchee Creek, on Oosta- nallah River, thence north in a straight course to a spring branch between the island and Rackoon Village; thence a straight course over the Lookout Moun-


tain, where the heads of Wills and Lookout Creeks oppose against each other on the Blue Ridge; then a straight course to the main source of Rackoon Creek, and down the same into the Tennessee River, and up said river to the mouth of Ooletiwah Creek, and up said creek to take the most southeastern fork; thence a southern course to the mouths of Sugar Creek, into the Connasauga River, and down the said river to its confluence with Oostennallah River, and the down same to the place of beginning.


2-The Second District shall be called by the name Challoogee, and be bounded as follows: Beginning on the mouth of Rackoon Creek, in the Ten- nessee River, and down the said river to the boundary line, commonly called Coffee's line, and along said line where it strikes Wills Creek, and down the said creek to its confluence with the Coosa River; and thence embracing the boundary line between the Chero- kees and Creeks, run by Wm. McIn- tosh and other Cherokee Commission- ers by the respective nations, running southeastwardly to its intersection with Chinibee's Trace, and along said trace leading eastwardly by Avery Vann's place, including his plantation, and thence on said trace to where it crosses the Etowah River, at the old ford above the fork, and down said river to its confluence with Oostennallah River, and up said river to the mouth of Ar- muchee Creek, and to be bounded by the First District.


3-The Third District shall


be called by the name Coosewattee, and bounded as follows: Beginning at the Widow Fool's Ferry, on Oostannallah River where the Alabama Road crosses it, along said wagon road eastwardly, leading toward Etowah Town to a large creek above Thomas Pettit's plantation, near to the Sixes, and said creek northeastward to its source; thence a straight course to the head of Talloney Creek, up which the Federal Road leads; thence a straight course to the Red Bank Creek, near Cartikee Village; thence a straight course to the head source of Potato Mine Creek ; thence a straight course to the head of Clapboard Creek; thence a straight course to the most southern head source of Cannasawgee River, to strike opposite to the mouth of Sugar Creek into the Cannasawgee River, and to be bounded by the First and Second Districts.

head branch of Frog Town Creek, and down the same to its confluence with Tahsantec; thence down the Chestotee River, and into the Chattahoochee Riv. er, and down the same to the shallow wagon ford on said river, above the standing Peach Tree; thence westward along said wagon road leading to -- Town, to where it crosses Little River, a fork of the Etowah River, and down the same to its confluence with Etowah River, and down the same in a direct course to a large creek, and up said creek to where the road crosses it to the opposite side, and to be bounded by the Third District.


6-The Sixth District shall be called by the name Etowah, and be bounded as follows: Beginning on the Chat- tahoochee River, at the shallow wagon ford on said river, and down the same to the Buzzard Roost, where the Creek and Cherokee boundary line intersects the said river; thence along said boun- dary line westward to where it inter- sects Chinibee's Trace, and to be bound- ed by the Fifth and Third Districts, leaving Thos. Pettit's family in Eto- wah District.


7-The Seventh District shall be known by the name of Tahquohee, and be bounded as follows: Beginning

where Col. Houston's boundary line crosses Slare's Creek, thence along said boundary line southeastwardly to the Unicoy Turnpike road, and along said road to where it crosses the Hiwassee River, in the Valley Towns; thence a straight course to the head source of Coosa Creek, on the Blue Ridge above Cheewostoyeh, and along said ridge eastwardly, where the Unicoy Turn- pike road crosses it, and thence a di- rect course to the head source of Per- simmon Creek; thence down the same to the confluence of Tahsantee, and with the Frog Town Creek; and to be bound by the Third, Fourth and Fifth Districts.


8-The Eighth District shall be known by the name of Aquohce and be bounded as follows: Beginning where the Seventh District intersects the Blue Ridge, where the Unicoy Turn- pike road crosses the same, thence along said line to the confluence of Nanteyalee and Little Tennessee River; thence down the same to Tal- lassee Village; thence along said boun- dary line westwardly to where it in- tersects the Unicoy Turnpike road, and to be bounded by the Seventh Dis- trict.


The districts were to hold their councils or courts as follows:


The first Mondays in May and Sep- tember for Chickamaugee, Coosewattee, Hickory Log and Aquohee, and the sec- ond Mondays in May and September for Amoah, Etowah and Tahuohee. (Challogee was omitted).


It would appear from a rough trac- ing of these boundaries that the fol- lowing places would be included as set forth :


First District (Chickamaugee) : Dal- ton, Villanow, Curryville, Sugar Val- ley, Floyd Springs, the Pocket, Chick- amauga, LaFayette, Rising Fawn, Chattanooga, Ooltewah, Tenn., and a few towns in upper DeKalb and east- ern Jackson County, Ala.


Second District (Challoogee) : All of Floyd County west of a north-and- south line running through the forks of the rivers at Rome: South Rome, East Rome, West Rome, Lindale, Sil- ver Creek, Cave Spring, Mt. Berry, Armuchee, Rice's Spring, Coosa, Liv- ingston, etc., and Cedartown; all of Chattooga County and a narrow part of lower Walker County; all of Cher- okee, the central part of DeKalb and the upper parts of Cleburne and Cal- houn Counties, Ala.


Third District (Coosewattee) : The


389


ENCYCLOPEDIC SECTION


main part of Rome between the rivers, and all the towns north of the Etowah River as far east as Cassville, includ- ing Adairsville, Barnsley Gardens, all of Gordon County and Murray and such of Cohutta Mountain as is in Gil- mer County.


Fourth District (Amoah) : The smallest section of the eight, lying north of the First District, and includ- ing practically all of James and Brad- ley Counties, Tenn., and one-eighth of Polk in the western part.


Fifth District (Hickory Log) : Car- tersville and the eastern third of Bar- tow County, three-fourths of the north- ern parts of Cherokee and Forsyth, and one-fourth of the northern part of Milton, all of Pickens and Dawson Counties, all except one-tenth, the northwestern corner of Gilmer; the southern part of Fannin, the southern tip of Union and the western half of Lumpkin, with Dahlonega. This dis- trict follows such part of the old treaty boundary, the Chattahoochee River, as lies north of the shallow ford on the river in the lower end of Forsyth Coun- ty northeastward to Dahlonega.


Sixth District (Etowah) : All that section south of the Etowah and north- west of the Chattahoochee, including the southeastern section of Floyd Coun- ty, Kingston and the southwestern quarter of Bartow County, and the eastern half of Polk, the lower tip of Forsyth, nearly all of Milton, the lower fifth of Cherokee, parts of Chambers, Cleburne and Randolph Counties, Ala., and western parts of Heard and Troup (to West Point), and all of the coun- ties of Cobb, Paulding, Haralson, Douglas, and Carroll in Georgia.


Seventh District (Tahquohee) : Most of Polk County, Tenn., the lower part of Cherokee and the southwestern part of Clay in North Carolina, the north- ern half of Fannin County, the east- ern half of Lumpkin, northern of Hall, western half of Towns and White, and nearly all of Union in Georgia.


Eighth District (Aquohee) : The northwestern part of Habersham, eastern half of Towns, western half of Rabun, Western North Carolina west of the Little Tennessee River, includ- ing most of Macon, Clay and Chero- kee Counties in North Carolina.


In general, the Cherokee territory at this time embraced all of the north- west portion of the state, known as Cherokee Georgia, bounded on the southeast by the Chattahoochee River and its tributaries in Northeast Geor- gia; the southwestern portion of North


Carolina as far east as the Little Ten- nessee River; the Southeastern portion of Tennessee south of the Hiawassee River and east and south of the Ten- nessee, bordering on Fannin, Murray, Whitfield, Walker, Catoosa and Dade Counties in Georgia; and westward in Alabama to the Tennessee River and Attalla and Gadsden on the Coosa, and thence following the Cherokee- Creek boundary line run by Wm. Mc- Intosh and others, and then Chinibee's Trace and the Cherokee-Creek line to the Chattahoochee River near Colum- bus.


INDIANS, INDIVIDUAL .- Follow- ing is a list of Indians who composed part of the mammoth assemblage which congregated at Running Waters, near Rome, July 19, 20 and 21, 1835. By consulting the list of Indian dis- tricts and the towns in them, it is pos- sible to fix approximately the local range of many red-skins and identify the "Rome Indians," who lived in Chal- loogee, Chickamaugee, Coosewattee and Etowah districts. Little Meat is known to have lived at Cave Spring, Wood- ward and Ground Mole (or Ground Hog) at Pinson Station, Tah-chan-sie
