“THE LITTLE FOOL.”
SPECIAL
VOL. XXVIII.
C. M. THOMPSON STROLLS ON OUT BROAD
STREET BEYOND THE MULBERRY RIVER.
Well, let us finish our trip out Broad i
street to a short distance beyond the
Mulberry river. Just get in uiy car and
let us ride out the four miles to the)
Slaton (Add Mattox) plaop. Then j
\ve will tale note of the settlement and j
its people. The first tiling that we will i
notice about this section is that it is i
now in a fine state of cultivation, but ]
some 50 years ago was covered with old
field pines and broom sage. We ecu
drive slow and stop at the fork of the
old atio new roads to Jefferson. That
ohi linuie now owned by Edna O’Shie’ds
was formerly as we knew it, the Joan
Parker place, who lived there many
years ago, and sold to Dave f ulcher.
Look off yonder some IKK) yeards to
your left, tha* ridge is the spof where
A. D. (Gusi Colli os fell from a mule
and broke his leg. 1 remember heal
ing him halloa. I was a mile away.
This was 45 years ago. That other
ridge you see is the Lee Eley home,
near this spot there was a log school
house years ago.
Now, we w r ill travel on and are at
the top of a small hill near the John W.
O'Shields gin house, and off to our left
in that field once lived Bill Mangum. I
know not who built it, for it was an
old house some 50 years ago. Our next
is' the home of Edna O’Shields. This
house was built 37 years ago by J. W.
and J. A. Thompson. At this place
they both died, also in this house their
brother, J. L. Thompson, died, also the
\vife of ,J. W. Thompson passed away
from this home.
Off yonder to our right where a teu
ant house stands was a log cabin on the
plot of ground and in which Ed Owens
lived before the civil war. We must
go. We are now curving to the right.
The oid road ran straight up and down
hill to the Dr. I. J. M. Goss place.
Here' he built a pretty home and sold
it to Adam Thompson a half century
ago. At this place lie breathed his
last. Mr. Healan lives here now.
We stroll on a few hundred yards
and are now approaching Johnson
Academy. It was built about 1881, and
is in good condition today. Miss Clara
Wardlaw was the first teacher. I would
like to say that there are those who
went to school here that are now in
every walk and avocation in life. They
are scattered into many states. I know
of no rural school ttmt can boast as
this place can of the worthy men and
women who got a start here.
Let us look back northwest down
the road towards J. P. Eley’s. Down
that hill, Mr. Collins, the father of W.
J. Collins was hauling a load of lum
ber when the tongue of the wagon
broke and the mules ran, throwing him
out against a tree and injuring him so
that lie died shortly. This was just be
fore the war.
Now, look north, that new looking
bungalow is the home of J. R. Johnson
and Esq. A. I. Lyle. The old house
uewrer is the old home of Mallnda
(Maiay) Lyle. She was the mother
Esq. Lyle. In that house was the
original Malinda postoffice, and when
you see Malinda on all maps of the
•lay you can remember the old home.
Malinda postoffice got its name from
this good old lady. The present occu
pant is none other than Henry Page,
the father of the noted triplets of Bar
row county. They are now two years
old and idoing well. Last Sunday’s
Constitution had their pictures.
This is a wonderfully productive place
along more lines than one. J. R. John
son killed three hogs that netted 1558
pounds, and had other heavy hogs,
but does not need them therefore won’t
kill any.
We will now r go on. We stop in the
middle of the road about half way be
tween Johnson Academy and Mrs. Pat
rick's. At that time J. M. Johnson
lived there, and the writer stood and
watched a twisting, funnel-shaped cloud
in the north. This cloud was the cy
clone that did considerable damage he
yond Jefferson at the Jarrett place.
The next place was owned by Clark
William Fulcher, then by a Primitive
Baptist preacher by the name of Loch.
Then came Esq. C. H. Reeves.
Off to our right a quarter of a mile
#ii tie* branch stood a log cabin once
used as a school house. Miss Cassey
Pittman taught there before the war.
On we go. The next old home is
where Mrs. Emma Wall now lives. In
1870, L. J. Johnson laid the foundation
for the present house. G. J. X. \V ilsou
was the boss workman. Some of the
men under him were Gus Boswell. Mr.
Borders, a jolly Irishman, ('alien and
Robert Jones. Back on that small rise
was Johnson’s shop, and before the
days of Malinda postoffice it was a
postoffice, and it was tlie first on this
side of Jefferson in Jackson county
near here.
Next we come to the John Johnson
old home on top of the hill, at the cut
out of the hill. He died here and was
buried a couple of hundred yards back
of the house. In this house. R. L.
Johnson died. Buck Whitehead died
in this house. They were both buried
liack of this old home.
We’ll now go down the cut to the
noted Tishmauga. so called by G. J. N.
Wilson. This Tishmauga is Indian for
Mulherrv and means fruitful. It runs
lie tween' two of the beet owunties in
Georgia. It is true not only of tin*
bountiful crops that have been gather
ed from its fertile hanks, hut it is also
true when it comes to the delicious fish
that have been taken from its placid
waters. As to the truth of this state
ment do not take my word, hut ask
the seining sports of Winder.

Scott Jackson Uncovers
Train Robber in Winder

was captured at Winder this week and
brought to Athens Friday by J. A.
Whiting. United- States deputy mar

gang of freight car thieves that stole
several thousands of dollars worth of
freight in cars side-tracked for inter
state shipment at Winder in 1918.
The robberies continued for months
Car after car was raffled and many
thousand of dollars worth of freight
stolen and sold, most of it to a mer
chant on the outskirts of town. Fi
nally the whole gang was turned up by
Lish Harrison when Scott Jackson was
sent to Winder to arrest him on a
charge of desertion from the army. The
desertion charge was not proven, but
Jackson secured a confession from Har
rison when he told him that members
of the freight car gang were trying to
get rid of him in answer to Harrison’s
query as to why he was arrested.
Seven of the gang have been tried,
; ,ne has died and Harrison remains.
Three of the men were tried several
months ago during federal court here

ran away.—Athens Daily News.

REV. STANLY GRUBB
ARRIVES^IN S. C
t Columbia Welcomes Bro. Grubb and
i Wife to Their Future Home
The Rev. Stanley Roberts Grubb, who
has recently been called to the pastor
ate of the Christian church in Columbia
and who, witli Mrs. Grubb, arrived in
this city Friday night, is no stranger to
Columbia. For five years he labored
in this city, being pastor of the same
church to which he now returns, and
j, while he was here the present church
j building was erected, lie came to Co
s! lumliia from his pastorate at Corydon,
I Ind., arriving in this city in 1904 and
remaining here, under the mission
board, about five years. His numer
ous friends will be pleased to welcome
him again and to see him in his old
pulpit one more.
I After leaving Columbia, Mr. Grubb
I went to Athens, Ga., as pastor of the
! First Christian church of that city.
Here he remained for 13 yeasr, the
! work flourishing under his hands and
the membership growing from about
125 to 350. The Sunday school had an
enrollment of about 300. Mr. Grubb
left Athens about a year ago and went
to Winder, Ga., and comes from that
city to Columbia.
Mr. Grubb was born in central In
diana and received his education at
Butler college in Indiana arid at Tran
sylvania college, Lexington, Ky. He
was graduated from Butler college in
1899 and took two years of post grad
uate work there and then began his
ministerial work at Corydon, Ind.,
from which city he came to Columbia.
Mrs. Grubb was born in Buffalo, N.
Y., and attended Hiram college at Hi
ram, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Grubb are
at present registered at the Jefferson
hotel. They will hoard for a short time
until they can make permanent ar
rangements when they will remove their
household goods from storage.
The trip from Georgia to Columbia
was made in an automobile.
Mr. Grubb will take charge of his
work at once. He succeeds the Rev.
A. B. Reeves, who has gone to Ken
t ucky.
While Mr. Grubb has proven himself
self-a preacher of power and under
standing, he has demonstrated li is abil
ity especially as an organizer and
as a congregation builder. He has al
ways stressed the Sunday school work
and the men’s Bible class, is work in
Athens with the Boy Scouts was note
worthy he managed three or four sum
mer camps and his troop xvas one of
size and enthusiasm.
The congregation of the Christian
church, which has been without a pas
tor since Mr. Reeves left in August, is
pleased with the prospects of again
having Mr. Grubb at the head of the
church and will give him cordial co
operation in hiR work. He will preach
his first sermon tomorrow morning.—

W. P. McWhorter, of Woodville, and
William T. Bryan, of Athens
Will Be Sadly Missed
Two prominent and influential men
in this section of the state have recent
ly died, both of them natives of Greene
county. The first to die was \\. P.
McWhorter, of Woodville, Cu. He w“
83 years of age at tilt- time of his death
and was easily the first citizen of
Greene county. He had represented
his county in the legislature and state
senate and was a man of means and
wealth.
The other was William T. Bryan,
who died in a sanitarium In Battle
Creek, Michigan, at the age of 54 years
He had gone there for his health. He
was horn at Union Point, Ga.. hut mov
ed to Athens in early life and won for
himself wealth and a splendid name
for business capacity. The writer val
ued the friendship of these two men
highly, the former being closely relut
ed to him, and the latter being of
about the same age and born in a few
miles of each other. Death claimed
two splendid Georgians when he claim
ed \V.*l’. McWhorter and William T.
Bryan.
ESKIMO PIE INVEN
TOR, DEAF TO JEERS
MAKES A FORTUNE
Christian K. Nelson hit Chicago
from, Omaha 15 months ago with 19
cents and an idea.
Today the 19 cents has grown to a
steadily increasing fortune of six fig
ures. It’ll be well over a millou be
fore Nelson pays his income tax.
What did it?
The deal!
Nelson’s idea was to cover a square
of cold ice cream with a layer of hot
chocolate, thus making a confection
with real ice cream inside.
He got the idea while he was manag
ing his father’s cream plant out in On
awa, la. And he furthered it while he
was studying chemistry at college.
When he was graduated he peddled
the idea around from ice cream factory
to ice cream factory. Everybody laugh
ed nt him “Cover cold ice cream with
hot chocolate? Man, you’re crajy!” the
said.
But Russell Stover, manager of an
ice cream plant at Omaha, was differ
ent. He thought Nelson’s idea could
tie put over. And together Stover and
Nelson did put it over.
That’s why you see a big yellow sign
advertising “Eskimo Die” in your con
fectionery store window.
For Nelson’s the inventor of Eskimo
pie.
Nelson’s not making it. His compa
ny, composed of himself, Stover and
others, is selling licenses to firms in
other cities to manufacture the con
fection.
Today more than 1,009,000 Eskimo
pies are being eaten daily. And Nel
son's company gets 5 cents royalty on
every dozen pies.
This will amount to about s4.<>()<) a
day or a million and a half a year. Not
a had idea, ell?
And Nelson’s busy with an adding
machine trying to figure up his income.
“Don’t lose heart,” Nelson advises
others. “I kept at my hunch and plug
ged--that's why I succeeded.
These Eskimo Dies were put on sale
at the City Pharmacy Monday morn
ing and since that time it has heel)
unable to supply the demand.

J. W. SUMMEROUR
ADDRESSES A CARD
TO HIS FRIENDS
To My Friends and Customers: —
Probably this letter will lie a sur
pri>e to some of you hut I feel that you
would like to hear from me in regard
to some things.
We are passing through strenuous
times now. hut we still have much to
be thankful for.
As you know I made a hard fight to
keep my head above the water, hut the
big slump in prices of goods, the loss
in account* and u big overhead ex
pense, was too much for me.
1 certainly appreciate the many
kind words and letters of sympathy
since my doors were closed.
I am glad that 1 do not love the dol
lar so well, but that I can say good
bye home, good bye worldly posses
sions. hut give me my true friends wfio
will not dissappoint me, but will stand
by through thick and thin. My faith
is not in the tilings of this world but
in the Christ that went from the man
ger to the cross, from the cross to the
grave and from the grave to the right
hand of the Father. The God that
loaned me this home will, if it pleases
him, lend me another one.
1 probably could have been cold
blooded and not have regarded my
customers’ welfare and come out bet
ter, but had rather go down in defeat
than to have done this.
While, as I see it, 1 have not lieen
treated exactly right by everybody, I
have no 111 will toward any one. My
creditors have been very nice to me
and it grieves me that I can not pay
them In full. Most all of them have
been very kind to me and frankly ex
press their desire that l may soon get
back into business and re-establish my
self in the business world. I certain
ly appreciate this and will do my best
to do so.
I will announce through the Winder
News a little later what my future
course will he. I love the people of
Winder and Barrow county and while
my stay here liiih been my downfall, l
mil not ashamed of in.v record, and am
not afraid to hold my head up and face
the music.
Hoping that you will not he financial
ly this way hut that you
will be able to successfully stem the
tide, I urn,
Yours to serve,
J. W SUMMEROUR.
