THOMPSON TAKES A STROLL OUT ON BROAD STREET; TELLS US WHO LIVED HERE AND WHO LIVED YONDER LONG AGO SAYS CHOICE FARM LAND THEN BROUGHT ONE DOLLAR PER ACRE.—SAME LAND BROUGHT $250 PER ACRE. • (By C. M THOMPSON) Say. fellows, let us take a stroll out Broad street. Maybe I can tell you something you do not know. After crossing the G. M. Railroad the first I would have you notice is the Stanton home. Here many years ago lived one Ike House. He owned about rive acres. It began on Broad street near the present Winder National Bank and thence southeasterly to the neigh borhood of Woodruff’s wood yard, and thence northeasterly into or near the iiir ground gate, thence northwesterly ro Broad street near the Baptist church and thence along Broad street, then a road, to tlie beginning point. Ike House and Dr. Wylie Bush were in business together at one time. Let s stroll on. Now we cross Stephens St. But stop! Dr. .1. M Saunders, one of the pioneers, told me had seen the win ter rains till up the valley where the f:t4r ground is located until it would swim a horse, and he further said that he had seen the water pond up until it ran across the road, now Broad street, at the Baptist church. 1 Now, somewhere near here the deer hunter would stand a man to shoot the deer as they were making their escape from Marbury and Buck Creek eane br Ac s to Cedar Creek and the Mulber ry' river. Let us go on. We have a good little stroll. No bouse until we get to Wright street. Here, on our right, was the home of Wiley Wright, a pretty little home he had in his day. He was a powerful fiddler and loved his fiddle next to his wife and children. •Say. fellows, which way shall we go? On East Broad we will find near the citv limits, a place where once lived one David Mobley. Between East Broad, but nearer Broad street, we find the old Zion Morris place. This Mr. Zion Morris was a very religious old gemlemau. Often in revivals you would be frightened out of your seat by a Commanche-like yell. It was only Zion Morris happy and shouting. Do you see that hill two hundred yards off Broad street near James Segars There are graves there and near them was the old Morris home. Let us go on. No, we will not go straight: that would lead us to Whites mill by the White cemetery. We will go that way another time. This place is the John Sliieids place. John Smith built this tir~t and Shields improved it. Now. neighbor, we are standing on the east prominence of Pea Ridge and at the bend in the National Highway, that mess of vines and bushes a couple Look to your right, neighbor. You see of hundred yards off. This is two or •nree graves. Austin Fulcher is bur • t: j there. Har well Jackson preached Iws funeral, aud at the request of the deceased they sang David's Lamenta tion. His home was off yonder some two hundred yards further. Next we come to the home of Lester Hammond. Mr Ben Pressly cleared out and built the first house here. Ed Saunders turned it around and im proved it. but Mr. G. W. Hammond brought it to its present condition. Now. just hack of this house ran the old road nearly straight up and down .the hill. Austin Fulcher had two boys. Rube and Isaiah. They were boys and had their fun regardless of consequen ces. One day. father Fulcher was away and the boys got a sized yearling out to drive up and down the road. They had a yoke for two and only one yearling, so "they decided to yoke one of the boys with the yearling. Down the hill year ling and boy went. The boy fell and was dragged some distance on the rock of Pea Hill. His face was cut up pret ty badlv. but not much worse than the other's back when the father returned. Look, vou see that nice, fiat piece of ground just below Hammond's barn! Here, we have the location of another pretty* story, every bit true. The loca tion of Mr Rrndberrys home is where at one time a cabin stood. Lee Hin ton. a darkey, lived there. A report was circulated that a “woog." or "boog er" was rampant. It had been seen and heard in many places in that section. One night it came to this home, killed a small dog aud ate nearly all of it. While it was disturbing things Lee raised a plank of the floor and tried to get at iL All he could see were the shining eyes of the creature, but be could not get his gun in position to shoot. Lee decided he and trap him. There were two or three small log stalls out in the field. He barred the doors well and set a drop hoard in one of the doors and baited it with choice beef, but he had no success in catching the Creature. Now. we have had quite a stroll. Years ago this place, here on our left, known as the Sparks place was owned by Elijah Flanigan, a brother of Jasper Flanigan. Off yonder some half mile nearly east was the Ned Graham place. He owned some two hundred acres here. At 'the time of which I write there was a log cabin where Henry Lvle now lives. There was no house where J M. McElhannon home is on the farm. The next is the Bill Aden home It was known as the Dread Burson home and just across the road at one time stood a small house in the woods. It vCiis used for a school house at one time. Our next is the Crenshaw place. Ov- Oft TOtofter AND THE BARROW TIMES Marketing Meeting In Winder Feb. 9th. ON Thursday. February Oth. mere will be held iu Winder a marketing meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to try to stimulate the people to pro viding a market for all agricul tural products. A market agent from the U. S. Bureau of Mar kets or the State Bureau of Mar kets will be present and discuss marketing. Everybody invited to be present. NORTH GA. TEL. CO. FLITTING WIRES UN GROUND THIS WEEK The North Georgia Telephone & Tel egraph Cos. lagan work this week on putting all their wires in the city un derground. This work is being done in accordance with instruction from the Mayor and Council of the city that all telephone and light poles be taken off the main streets of the city. The telephone company will lay about one and three-quarters miles of cable at once. The system will be anew one known as the "Common Battery Sys tem." which will be next to the best one made. The ringing will be automatic which is a great improvement on the present system. The phone will continue to ring at short intervals when connected until the caller hangs up. There has been much complaint about Winder s phone service in the past, and the new system will give the public far better service than it has had in the past. OCONE CASES BEING TRIED THIS WEEK The Superior court of Oconee county is busy this week trying Herbert Thom as. oue of the four men that was indict ed by the grandjury last week in con neetion with the lynching that occurr ed in that comity in December. Ten jurors had t>eon secured up to Wednesday night and it was thought that the other two would be secured Thursday morning. The other three men Hamp Dooley, Jim Dooley and Ual Hawks, indicted at the same time with Thomas will be tried later. These three men were released from custo dy Wednesday of this week under bonds of $3,500 each. Practically the entire day M ednes dav was consumed with selecting the jury which is to try Mr. Thomas. The first venire was exhausted early in the morning, and because only ten had heen sent to the box, it was necessary to call another 48. The attorneys for the defense sprung somewhat of a surprise when it asked Judge Fortson to exclude all relatives of either Sheriff Maxey or Deputy Sher iff Robinson from tlie jury which is to trv tha indicted man. charging that these men are conducting the trial for political purposes, and that they have used unlawful methods in the prelim inaries. They presented one witness. Tom Roberts, who testified, that Dep uty Robinson had offered him a bottle of whiskey to serve as a witness in tlie cast* Judge Fortson ruled out the ev idence. and did not grant the request of the defense. Representing Mr. Thomas are. Judge John J. Strickland and John B. Gamble of Athens. Solicitor W. O. Itean and Fred A. Gillen will conduct the prose cution. , , , More than 500 people crowded the Watkinsville court house Wednesday aud great interest centered around the case. E. L. BEDDINGFIELD GOES WITH \l TO SALES C OMPANY Mr. E. L. Bedingfield has accepted a position with the Auto Sales Cos., on Athens street, and will be found with them in the future. Mr. Bedingfield is one <>f the best auto mechanics in the city and the public will be assured of first class service when dealing with him. When in need of any kind of auto i repair work don’t fail to go around and let him look over your ear. He in -1 vites all his friends to let him serve them. er half a century ago. the writer and his mother came to this place walking | from near Johnson school house, on one of the hottest of days, after a dress pattern. Our next is the Add Maddox place Then known as the Slaton place. I re j member when 290 acres of land sold | to M. F. Hinton for S3OO to satisfy a mortgage due Hartwell Jackson. This I same Land was sold to Hiram Cox for 1 ssm; Cox sold to R. M. Patrick for $2.54H1; Patrick sold at $55 per acre. I believe; anyway it was a terrible leap in price from $1 to $250 per acre and the seller begged off. We will stroll further in the future. Winder, Barrow County, Georgia, Thursday, February 2, 1922.

LIFE? “MAN conies into the world without his consent anel leaves against his will. During his stay on earth his time is spent in one continuous round of con traries and misunderstandings. In his infancy he is an angel in his Isiyhood he is a devil in his manhood he is ev erything from a lizard up; in his duties he is a fool, if he raises a family he is a chump: if he raises a check he is a thief, and then the law raises cain with him: if he is rich he is dishonest but considered smart; if he is in politics he is a grafter and a crook ; if he is out of politics vou can't place him : as he is an undesirable citizen: if lie goes to church he is a hypocrite; if he stays away from church ho is a sinner; if he donates to foreign missions he does it for show; if he doesn’t he is stingy and a tightwad. When be first came into the world everybody wanted to ki<s him—before he goes out they all want to kick hint. If he dies young there was a great future before him; if he lives to a ripe old age be is in the way onlv living to save funeral expenses.” —EXCHANGE. great southern auto show The Great s/mthern Automobile Show will be held in Atlanta from Feb ruary 11 until 18.
