THE BUSINESS OF OUR CITY
FOR THE PAST YEAR.

we hope to make a series of Trade
Numbers appear on or about the

It gives, when apinfayrt/J we fear,

sheep pastured upon ♦*
exterminate* > course, upon
the kindness of the mercantile com
munity for all facts and data which
we have used in making up a review
of the business of our city. For this
purpose we prepared a form which
was submitted to every business man
in the city, in which every line of
business was carefully classified.
From these as furnished us we have
made up the total figures which we
present to-day, It is proper to say
that while the total amount of busi
ness done is as nearly correct as it is
possible to make it, the proportion in
the several lines of goods is not in all
probability accurate. This is true
for various reasons, among them the
fact that many of our merchants car
ry mixed stocks and it is impossible
for them to classify them properly
and some have declined to do so and
merely given us gross sales. This
will account for any seeming discrep
ancy or disproportion in the several
lines. The total figures are correct
and this is sufficient to give a proper
idea of the trade of our city.
Below we present a table of con
solidated totals, and the amounts in
the several lines:

fly Exclusive of the items guano, cot
y ton, banking capital, capital in build
a, e ing and contracting enterprizes and
t capital in manufactures we have
$585,680 00 as the amount of active
actual Trade. If we add to these
3,700 tons of guano at an average
of $35 per ton, $129,500, and 4,700
oales of cotton at an average of $35
per bale, 164,500 00 we swell this to
tal to $879,680.00. To this should
properly be added $55,000 of banking
capital, for this is part of the busfi
ness and trade of the cotton, and we
have a grand total of $ as
the business of the city for the year
past.
-Thirty-three firms and individuals
are engaged in mercantile pursuits,
and manage and control this trade.
The area over which it extends we
have no means of calculating correct
ly, but it certainly extends over
twelve or fifteen counties of North
east Georgia, and evon reaches be
yond the Blue Ridge chain and draws
a fair trade from the western part of
North Carolina.
Analyzing somewhat the trade as
given in the table above, we fin 1
that groceries is by far the heaviest
item. We believe however that this
is one of the instances in which as
stated elsewhere the classification is
at fault. It should be remembered
that many firms included their coun
try produce under this head, for we
are sure that this item will go far
beyond the figures as given us. After
groceries comes dry goods, and next
comes manufactutad goods. We
consider it no small feather in the
cap of a city of 2,500 inhabitants to
send out to the world $07,500 of
manufactured goods. It proves that
it is a noble point for manufacturing
enterprises, and we have every rea
son to believe that this branch of our
trade is even now in its infancy. We
allude to these more in detail under
another head.
In closing this review we may
state in justice to ourselves, that if
there are many mistakes Ihe fault is
not ours. Being the first review
ever had of the trade of our city we
have had no figures, precedents or
data to guide us. If the work should
prove perfectly correct it would be
little short of a miracle. We have

THE HAINESVILLE EAGLE TRADE ISSUE- GAINESVILLE, GA. UiIDAY MORNING OCTOBER 3 1879.
HALL COIN i Y.
(HR HrSTORY FROM IS2I UP TO THE
PRESENT TIME-
County Property, Taxes and Statistics.
BY COL. E. M. JOHNSON.
Hall county was organized in 1818
• bounded on the south by Gwinnett,
Habersham on the north, Hawk ns
treaty line on the cast and Chatta
hoochee and CLestatee rivers on the
west. In 1819 a strip of land one
mile wide east of Hawkins line was
added to Hall; a small part since
cut oil to Lumpkin and a small dis
trict to Banks count}, reducing Hall
to its present boundaries, which is
abo it thirty miles long by twenty
wide

nett on the line, and Longview in
Habersham.
Gainesville was located, in ide the
permanent county site in 1821, and
the first court held here was on the
third Monday in March 1822 and
have bes n held on the third Mondays
of March and September without
any change ever since.
The county was organiz'd with
John Eberhart, Morell Moore, \V il
liam Cobb. John Bates and William
Cowen, Justices of the Inferior court.
David H. MeClesky, clerk Superior
court, Stephen Reed, clerk Inferior
court and clerk of court of ordinary,
Michael Dickson, sheriff. The first
senator from the county was Captain
Nehemiah Garrison, the second was
Fleming F. Adrion, who was im
peached for holding public money,
(he having sold the fractions on
the ridge and river under commis
sion, and failed to turn over the
money) the impeachment was sus
tained, he was broke of his commis
sion and disfranchised. He was
succeeded by Richard Winn, and he
by Joseph Dunagan.
The county was early settled ”
with a hardy and enterprising ; ■>. „ ■
lation, which increased steadily up
to the gold intrusion which look
place in 1830, when the v ite of the
county was from 1800 to 2000 polls.
The soil was fresh and productive,
making corn, wheat, meat and stock
of all kinds abundant and cheap, and
making very fair crops of cotton for
this latitude, for with the seed then
used and an inferior mo le of culture
the county raised in 1830 some 2000
bales without guanos or foreign fer
tilizers.
Those were good old days in this
country, with no homesteads or
bankrupts, n® revenue tax whatever
on the productions of the country,
and everybody was as absolutely free
and independent as was consistent
with the rights of society. Free
whisky, free fighting, (with natures
weapons) universal credit, and every
man had confidence in his neighbor
if he deserved it, but they are past,
and a new phase upon us, and let us
look at the present surroundings and
make the most of them.
The taxable property of the county
has run up from s<Boo,ooo to nearly
$2,000,000, being the present year
$1,<875,-138 The present rate for
State and county tax is eight-tenths
of one per cent., amounting to
$1,515,75. The rate for several years
has ranged from 7| to 8 mills on the
SIOO which I expect will compare
favorably with any other people in
the United States, although many of
our people are disposed to grumble,
remembering the small pittance they
paid before the war, when Georgia
owed almost no debt at all. The
values and taxable property are in
creasing regularly, and must increase
much more rapidly as the rich mines
of the county are developed.
The county has a well managed
paupers’ home with eleven inmates
at present, which is a full average
for years. Also a new and handsome
jail just completed, standing boldly
out, a warning and terror to evil
doers, but fortunately innocent and
harmless at present, with no one to
occupy its cells. From all of which
and from long experience and ob
servation, I conclude that the people
of Hall will compare well as a sober,
intelligent, industrious, peaceful, law
abiding, moral and religious people
with any other community within
the range of my acquaintance.
COUNTY TOWNS
BELLTON.
Bellton is on the Air Line road
just above Lula Junction fourteen
miles from Gainesville and is a go-a
head place. Everybody works tn*”
—no loafers iu the place.
Mr. Madison Buice, of Atlanta,
bought the tract of land upon which
the town is located, laid oil the town,
sold lots', ran a steam saw mill, fur
nished the lumber to build up the
plice, built and sold houses, brought
in lots of good citizens, stimulated
them to build churches and an acade"
my, and is now running a big gin.
He named his town Bellton after
Maj. Madison Bell, former comp

This lively little town is nine miles
below Gainesville on the Air Line

several hundred bales of cotton find
ing market there yearly. There are
about 300 inhabitants, thrifty enter

three bars, a cabinet shop, a black
smith shop, buggy and wagou shop,
two hotels, two cotton gins, two
churches and a good academy. There
are a great many neat cottages in
the place, and altogether Flowery-
Branch is a desirable place to live.
LULA.
This is a small town at the junc
tion of the Northeastern railroad
with the A. &C. Air Line, thirteen
miles above Gainesville. Mr. J. H.
Banks built a large hotel there soon
aft"’ the completion of the North
e< n y '■» road and furnishes splendid
accr >p - tum ent to travelers and board
sometime aec^ bis house he
and disfiry department and a store,
the teeth ; te’ce brick depot built by
the\'L r j t .ible, 6 rn railroad company
and a very heavy freight business is
done here. Mr. C. J. O’Farrell is
depot agent aud John Enright, tele
graph operator.
Mr. A. Engelke, a German gentle
man, keeps an eating house.
GILLSVILLE.
This village is on the Northeastern
road, fourteen miles east of Gaines
ville and seven miles from Lula. It
is partly in Hall and partly in Banks.
Capt. John N. Garrison is agent of
the Northeastern road and Miss Em
ma, his amiable daughter, is post
mistress. Mr. Garrison keeps a
splendid hotel which is ever open to
the weary and hungry. Two stores
do the business—Messrs. Smith
and Thomas A. Nunn.
WAYSIDE.
This is a new town on the North
eastern road, one mile below Gills
ville towards Athens. Mr. D. P.
Casey laid it off and sold lots to va
ric-us parties at low prices, building
for himself an elegant residence. Mr.
George Quillian does the main weight
businees. He buys hundreds of
bales of cotton during each season,
and keeps an extensive stock of mer
chandise to supply the surrounding
country.
Set Back. 42 Years.
I was troubled for many years
with Kidney Cjnaplaint, Gravel, etc.;
my bloo'd became thin; I was dull
and inactive;, could hardly crawl
about; was an old worn out man all
over; could gat nothing to help me,
until I got Hop Bitters, and now I
am a boy again. My blood and kid
neys are all right, and I am as active
as a man of 30, although lam 72,
and I have no doubt it will do as
well for others of my age. It is worth
a trial — Father.

<
Deli tmined to retain his place in the front rank of the Dry Good! Trade, h is, in his purchases of this Fall, eclipsed all his former efforts, and, as a result, now offers to the Public
ti e most extraordinary stock of DRY GOODS, SHOES, LADIES/UNDER VARE, GENTS FURNISHING GOODS, etc., which it lin ever been the privilege of the Public to
inspect.
Thia stock is extraordinary because of its magnitude, because of its wonderful variety and beauty, ‘but though last not least, principally because of the low prices which pervade
its every department. No effort has been spared by which good goods could be purchased at less than market value, and everybody knows that in a place like New York bargains
are to be had any day in the week—not. indeed, by those whose credit is stretched to its utmost tension, but by those who have the money to pay for the goods. JOHN KEELY
happens to be one of those latter, and will show any one desirous of testing the fact, the magnificent discounts in BLACK AND WHITE, which he obtained on this last trip.
AN IMMENSE LINE OF ALL SORTS OF SILKS AND DRESS GOODS.
Ft.f Dress Goods.
I
pieces of the very finest French novelties in dress
goods, double width, at from $1 25 to $3 00 per yard, per
fect beauties. Will be feut d cheaper than elsewhere.
200 pieces colored satins, all wool, in every possible
c. lor.
.100 pieces solid colored, striped satins—beautiful goods.
Everything in Persian effects. Cachemire de soie, in last
novelties, toe numerous to attempt to particularize.
Black and colored camel hair goods in endless variety.
CLOAKS. CLOAKS. CLOAKS.
If any go cloakless this season it will not bo my fmlt, for lam prepared to sell cloaks at any figures, from the price usually paid for a breakfast shawl, upward. I will state
here that I have only bought twelve shawls iu the regular way. Yet I have the veriest novelties of the season, many I will sill at 50 to 65 cents on the dollar of their value. How
this is done I will not state here, lest I should educate some of my competitors; but that it is a fact, I will convince the most skeptical immediately upon their examination of my
stock and prices.

this stock. Every garment is is first cl iss iu style and work. Lady saleswomen in attend unce upon this department.

Never in the history of the combined dry goods and shoe trade in Atlanta has such a stock been offered to the public. No trish; no shoddy goods. But all first class goods,
