Bonn homes had the flint and steel punk The Confederate match was a sul phur affair that smelt awfully bad when burning. They were little blocks of wood cross-sawed In strips, or sticks down to a base of say a half Inch. You would split off a match when needed. Now I think of water. Early set tlers had an eye to water when locating, hence springs of cool water were nn important factor. Oui town spring was near Brqad Street In the rear of the present Empire Shoe Co. store. Other prominent springs, were Factory, near Ath ens Factory, WUkerson’s, neat Foundry street In rear of Callawny Qro. Co.; Witherspoon’s near Ath ens Foundry site; Orr’s near Pulas ki street, In rear of Christian church. There were several others Then came the well. The first public one was on Broad street near Campus corner of Jackson. This furnished drinking water foi stores on Broad street and vicinity ulso for the passing public. • Th* next onp was on College avenue, Just off Clayton street, near Geor gia National Bank corner. Watci for fire protection was In two sunken cisterns, one on College ave- nuo In front of Commercial Bank one on Broad stret In front of Huggins A Son. Watqg was sup plied to both by rain from tho fronting roofs. There was also n small cpyered reservoir supplied by the town spring. Then there was the private welt.

When the gat works that were located near tht present Ford plase on Claytor street were burned the gas tar ran down the gutter* on' Thomas street across Broad street through the culvert, and then down Oconee street In open gully, under Foundry street and on to WUkerson’s branch and thence to the river. In Its passage down the tar struck the well veins and ruined the Hodgson well, and seriously Injured the Mason, Beusse shop wells. By continually withdrawing the water Many years ago my undo bought of the water from the town spring nnd piped it down to our place and in the Hodgson shops. The gas produced at the time was from pine wood (original forest va riety). The farmers would haul it into the works, wood was very abundant and cheap at the time. When the gas works were rebuilt they were placed at their present location.

Captain Dorsey was our Auctioneer and fire alarm, in case of fire ev erybody would run to it yelling at every breath. If they, arrived in time they, would carry out bedding and the like, but would toss out crockery and breakable furnlturev So there would not be much left after it was all over. “THE OLD WASH HOLE” My boyhood friends, born in Athens, are Dock Dorsey, Cobb Lampkln and Henry Mealor. I do not recall any others at this time There are three negro boys about my nge( Dick Harris, belonging to Col. Hardeman; Wash Scott, be longing to Dr. R. D. Moore; and SlkeH, belonging to Col. Childs. I can recall how sensitive I was to praise or. ridicule, would work and cut wood while the other boys would slip off fish ing or to the swimming hole, to have father brag on me. One time there was a family disturbance near dur home, nnd T ran down to see about It. • I was standing in the street when "bang” went a pistol The bullet struck a picket In the fence and then went through my shoulder. It didn’t hurt very much I thought now If I make an out cry and go to yelling and am not much hurt I will never hear the end of It. On the other hand, II I am hurt yelling won’t do any good. So I never said a word, but walked home. As I reached the gate I said to father who standing on the porch: "Pa, I’m shot." Dock Dorsey wras passing at the time, and spread the newt to everybody. I was awful proud that I hadn't squaled. TIMES HAVE CHANGED Things are so changed from those days to the present that I hardly know if any one would care to read this, hut somehow' I find myself harking back to days of my youth We were not strong for athletic; in those days. Football was played by kicking alone. Cricket was-hot played. Baseball came after the days of the War Between States. I don’t know to whom credit belongs for bringing it to college, Jep Rucker or Bill Hodg- There was n great tournament The course was In front pf the present home of Judge McWhorter, formerly Meeker place. I remem ber Roland Russell rode Dr. Burck- head’s horse, and as he went tc Jump the bars his knees struck them, he fell, rolling Russell un derneath, but did not hurt him Brother Robert was Knight Ab dul-Kato (if spelled right) and rode for Miss Susie Golden ’(Mrs I>. Oerdine). I think there was n dozen or more Knights In the con test. I have gone so far back that Larry Gantt will have to put on his specs to se who Is coming up the road after him. Larry was in the newspaper business, and he had to know everything, nnd remem- ber t lots of it. He was kept mighty busy in the political fight* of the Independent and old line Democrat Pete Lawshe called Larry’s paper ’the "Bangor-Washtub" (Banner- Watchman). The old preacher said, “Times do change, nnd things change with My people owned the grist flour mill that supplied the town. It was In the brick building still stand ing near the Check Factory. The wafer that ran it was from Carr’* Pond on Trull Creek, and was con veyed by rnce and emptied through power wheel Into Oconee river. The old "wash-hole” was In Trail Creek Just below where the bridge now crosses. It Is all filled with sand now, but I ban pick out the spot. My, what fun we used to have in itl On top of the hill near the "hole" some boy would sing out, Last one In Is a nigger.’ ’ The race would start nnd we would strip nr W ran, and would dive in with- out stripping. Sometmles a mean boy would tie a knot fn our clothes and then dip the knot in water and when we come out he woulc call out, "chaw bacon,” as we would have to use our teeth to untie the knot. One day Sid Hadley ran away and. went to the wush-hole. HI* mother didn’t have anybody to send after him but his little sister. She stops a way back and gets behind large tree, calls out, "Don’t became usable, except the first oim f* ee >' oU Sid? Sid answers "Yes, I reckon.” The sister replies, “Wei come outer thar, Ma wants yer.” Mother didn’t allow us to go to lh, creek eo we would always havt to dry our hair by beating It with little Hick before going home. Marbles, tops, and kites, were our •mall game,. Stealing goods, stealing base and crack the whip. The Inat was a little dangerous.

You were put out when hit by a thrown ball while runing between the bases. After I had graduated from Miss Emily Witherspoon's school, nnd was In Mr. Alex If.

In course of time the old marble worked n cne side, and that marble would b» In front when it hit. The boys were so afraid of It that the best throwers could rarely ever hit one with It. Bob Bird was the” bane of the small boy's life. He could Invari ably get up a scrap between two small boys by putting a chip on one's shoulder or head and dare the other boy to knock It oft fight would follow with scratching and hair pulling. Whlla I don't feel old, I _ ’em." Tip old preacher says. “Van- aUli lty of vanities, all Is vanity." When I think that since I have been a grown man, say 47 years past, there have been more devel opments and progress made thnn In all the past history of our coun try. What’s tho significance of It? Is God revealing his wonders through the mind of man, or Is it the reward for diligent seeking In to the hidden things. All mineral wealth, precious stones, oil, etc., have bepn in 'the earth for ages past ns also water, power, air, etc., but It was not made to serve the needs of man until this age. Are we any nearer to God? we see God and clearer? Do wc give God any credit Where are we, nnd whither are we going? Are we lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God? Are we a self- indulgent and pleasure seeking peo ple What doth the Lord require of thee, oh, man, but to Justly love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God?
