not be given charge of a state burean

that the whole department of agricul

’and that phase of practical farming

TALES RETAILED |
By W. P. FLEMING
oot i
On January 1, 1926 there were 22’
soldiers on the Confederate pension |
roll of Crisp county, Eight of these
have already died. This year the
amcunt paid to or in, teaalf of both
soldiers and widows on the risp
roll, has been $26,157 which included
past due pensions for 1923, 1924 an'l
1»925\: T‘?}‘}} ‘pension’: péym&‘fi%é}i? in

vears from now, probably $1 900 will
paw the totul ~Crisp pensions, It may
execed that a little. for the reason®
that the widcws are, of course, young
This reflection follows: There are
very few people now living here
abouts who were born as lone ago as
1845-50, since which date the world
has come to an end over and cver
again with respect to this section Ofl‘
Georgia. All the results of these
endings have not been of a (-vlbst':\l]
sort. When these old people woru‘
voung. they had scme advantages
that have since. disappearod.. But
there are compensations. Then this
vast territory was cumbered with
primitive pine forests. We say “cum
bered” advisedly, because land was |
difficult to clear of these pines. Nn\v‘t
we know that the nines are wm'th‘
much more than the land they cum
bered. Then. many a man’s wealth
was more a('(-\irutvly measured by
the number of cows in his drove,
than by the acreage to which he held
title: or by the number of sheep in
his herd; or the number of hogs that,
half wild, fed at liberty aleng the
lowlands—drove and herds that, at a
short distance, were practically hid
den by wild oats that grew thick and
'h’igh on much c¢f this land. Now,
: there are probably as many automo
| biles in the county 25 hogi—as cows
i;—as sheep. Then wild turkey and
| dcer were in plenty—probably as
| many as arc now of chickens. \Vél!
| hadn’t ycu rather have an avtomobite
|than a cow or a shecp, or a hog?
or a wild deer and turkey Loth? Then
why all this cut up? You've got it.
But most of us "zve come Installment
' payments to consider in that connec
| tion. And there are no ear-marks ‘ci"
l the celestial about them. b
When the:ze old pcople were young,‘
Ithe nearest railroad to this section
,\-.r..: the Southwestern at Americus.
’, To see it was about as good ;s
going to a circus. Drayton was tlie
capitel of Dooly county. There was a
post office at Drayton: one at Gum
Creck, now Coney; another a! Pin
dertown, about two miles from the
present site of Warwick. Mail was
delivereed to theze officés by Stage.
ccach, running over the “Star
Route” from Montezuma to Albany.

When the oid people were voung:
it'was no uncommen thing to see a
few straggling Indians left from the
general removal of them west in
1832, The members of the Willis
family now buried at Dakota, were
slaughtered and their home burned
by Indians three miles from there,
near what has been called Peggy's
Creek( zince that day her dead body
was found cn its bank. It was no un
