THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1022. C. M. THOMPSON STROLLS IN OTHER PARTS THIS WEEK MEANDERS OUT ATHENS STREET BEGINNING AT THE COURT HOUSE. I will travel today, folks, northwest k along Athens street, starting at the . court house. The first to which I would call your attention is now where this temple of justice now stands. A number of years ago there stood here a log cabin built by Gallant Reynolds. Later came Richard Hill, then his brother Zion Hill. Later came John \ Patman. He married a sister of Dr. TV. H. Bush. The next was TV. H. Bush who built the noted Bush home | which was moved to give way for the present court house building. We will travel on. Now we are ap proaching the Winder school building. Look at that large oak tree. Just south of that was old Concord church. It was built some time before the civil war. That wooden structure oyer there by the side of Woodruff’s brick * home is a part of the original church. It was moved over there by Mark Whitehead. We find the names of a few of the old members, Jonathan Betts, Z. B. Betts, Ira Lovic Betts. John Betts, Red Betts, Randall Willis, Parks Wills, R. M. Wills, Jordan Stanton, Z. F. Stanton. J. D. Stanton, Samuel Harri son, Jeff Harrison. Parks (Harrison. Mrs. W. H. Rush, Thomas Roman and many other names which lack of space forbids mentioning. In the same locality is a cemetery and' the first man buried there was very likely Jonathan Betts, and then Mr. Bradberry who was killed at Cross roads. We must go on. The next to at tract our attention is a small house on the right of this way where at one time lived Sim ill. He was a great sport; he loved his dog and gun. The next is our left where now Marion Maynard has a nice home. Here Wylie Wright lived before he moved to north cast Winder. Here the road forks. ■>V * shall go to the right. Our next is a small house on Jess Stewart's place. The next is the Jess Stewart home. Here he lived a long time and from this place he was carried to his long home. The time of which I would tell you a story was when the swamps and Bills of Cedar Creek were filled with squirrels, partridges, rabbits, turkeys. Mr Jess Stewart located the feeding ground of a large drove of turkeys. He built a blind in which to hide with just a hole for gun. Early one morn ing he strolled out and hid and waited for the coming of the turkeys. 'He had not long to wait. They were coming In a pretty drove. He gave a good im itation yelp which he could do nicely, and this brought them on in double quick time. He sat with his gun in the hole, his finger on the trigger, his eye on the drove, waiting an opportuni ty to get several in line. They twist ed about so in coming rip that he could not get them in line, lost his nerve and never fired a shot. He went borne somewhat crestfallen, told Sim Hill how silly he had acted and they both took a good laugh. Tn a few days SimxHill went into the location, built a pen of nine poles, dog a ditch from the outside of the pen to the center inside and baited it , v jtl< wheat. At the opportune time lie strolled over to the pen and found it full of turkeys. They were slinking the pen and to keep them from getting out be lumped upon the pen and shout ed for Jess Stewart. His weight broke through the ton of the pen and he went in and the turkeys came out So Hill and Stewart had another dry laugh. Some three or four hundred yards off this road on another road leading to Judsou Jackson’s, upon what is known as Flat Rock you can see cut in the rock Sam Hill’s name and the tracks of one of the first turkeys killed in this section. We must go on. Now we have just before us a stream known as Cedar Creek. It has more pretty water falls on its course to the Mulberry river than most streams of its size and length. ... • Our next residence is the home of Dan Huie. He was very eccentric old gentleman. Upon one occasion a dar key met a white man in the road. The darker bowed, scraped the ground with his feet, raised his hat and was very profuse in his manners of respect to tbs white friend. As soon as the man was gone he told the darkey “the half of that was a plenty.” The next is now. Cedar Hill. Then it was known as Osborn’s Crossroads. 'Here Mr. Osborn lived and died. Here Mr. J. C. (Bud) Pentecost died. He had a pretty little home south of the cross roads. Our next stop is Naza reth church. It has been here about 48 years. It was organized by the Rev. It. S. McGarity. A few of the charter members are R. J. Pentecost, his broth er. J. P. Pentecost, George Adams, Har riet Pentecost, Sarah Pentecost. Su san Adams, Mr. and Mrs. William Thurmond, Mary House and James Peppers. I know of only one charter member living. Mr. R. J. Pentecost. We must travel on. Now ap proaching a territory in which was a small battle between “Yanks and Rebs,” during the civil war. This is known as Kings Tanyard battle. I shall tell you of it some other time. Down there on or near the branch to our right was the tanyard. The next is the home of R. J- Pentecost. He has l’.een living here many years. He is the son of Richard Pentecost and the grandson of William Pentecost, a Rev olutionary soldier. This man has been very successful in business and has accommodated hundreds of his friends and neighbors in coming to their assist ance in times of need. He is a devoted Christian and deserves more good things said of him than I have time and space to spare, had I the words at my com mand. May lie live long for the good he has done and can do. We will continue our stroll another But just a moment backward. Mr. N. J. Kellv remembers well the turkey hunts for he was on the hunts and got a good 19 pound gobbler.

Mr. Kelly owned a good farm about a half mile up the creek from the bridge and lived there at that time. C. M. Thampsou. SNAP SHOTS By W. 11. Faust. ‘Representing nothing on God’s earth now, And naught in the water below it— As the pledge of a nation that s dead and gone, Keep it, dear friend, and show it. -Keep it—-it tells our history o’er. From the birth of the dream to the last, Like our hope of success, it passed. Modest, and born of the angel, Hope, A Confederate Note. “Days of my age. Ye will shortly be passed; Pains of my age, Yet awhile can ye last; Joys of my age, In true wisdom delight; j Eyes of my age, Be religion your light; Thoughts of my age; Dread ye not the cold sod; Hopes of my age. Be ye fixed on your God. St. George Tucker. To the confirmed cynic the religious man is always a consumate hypocrite. To the confirmed optimist a cynic Is a fellow who needs a big dose of calo mel to clear up his liver and his mor bid views of life. j A lnek of funds keeps a lot of young sprouts out of considerable trouble these days. “The sun shines ever brightest In Kentucky; The breezes whisper lightest, In Kentucky. Plain girls are the fewest, Maiden’s eyes the bluest, Their little hearts are truest, In Kentucky. Jas. 11. Mulligan. Plenty of preachers who go regular ly to fiil their appointments are never able to fill the auditoriums. Occasionally you run across a fel low who doesn't understand opportuni ty's knock, but some little fellow in the community begins to knock you, then you know it. “Ol’ Dan Tueker was a fine ol’ man, Washed ’is face in er frying pan. Combed his hair with a wagon wheel. And died with toothache in his heel. Git out’n de way Ol’ Dan Tucker! Come too late fer ter git you’ supper.” -—Francis P. Wrightman. Homely girls make the best house wives, but occasionally a husband wants to take his wife to the picture show or out to church. If women were more modest and courteous, men would be truer and more attentive. If a man is happily married about the proudest thing in his life is that he is his mother-in-law’s son-in-law. A little man with a big job reminds one of a sparrow trying to sit on a turkey’s nest. Judging from the time some preach ers preach they must, have a message to the present generation and to pos terity. and are going to deliver it in person. A fellow was once run over by a train and both legs cut •off. Since that time he has never kicked anyone. Quit your kicking and boost. Some men have the greatest thirst for office and the least capacity to fill one that is imaginable. ‘I am afraid of nothing on earth, or above the earth, or under the earth, but to do wrong. The path of duty I sliall endeavor to travel, fearing no evil and dreading no consequences. I would rather be defeated in a good cause than to triumph in a bad one. I would not give a fig for a man who would shrink from the discharge of duty, for fear of defeat. —Alexander H. Stephens. “The most important civil institution in the state is the public school. No man can really believe in a republican form of government who does not base his political philosophy upon the Intel ligence and right training of all the i people. The chief factors of any civ ilization are its homes and its people. .The chief factors of any civilization are inade by women rather than by men. iNo state which will educate its moth lera need have any fear about future j illiteracy Chas. D. Mclver. He who forgets to practice Christian 'hospitality has neglected one of the most important phases of great char acter building. ‘The old time darkey was a philoso pher. His thoughts never ranged be yond the smoke of his cabin. Content with food and raiment, his little patch of ground, and at peace with all the world, lie cheerfully and proudly drove his team afield. He was a Christian, he saw God in the clouds and heard him in the wind. If he sinned much, he prayed often, and his repentance was instantaneous and evangelical, lie praised God in song all the days of his .pilgrimage, and the sweet melody of ,his unpremeditated hymns echoed ■around the earth'. He was a poet, the eldest child of nature, rocked in her cradle and nurtured at her breast, He knew the language of birds and flowers. He was a true and faithful friend; true to his old master; true to his chil dren and his children’s children unto the third and fourth generation. God Idess the forlorn and ragged remnants of a race now passing away, the old black hand that rocked our in fant cradles, smoothed the pillow of our infant sleep, and fanned the- fever from our cheeks. May the green turf rest lightly on their aches and the wild flowers deck every lonely grave where “He giveth his beloved sleep.”—Peter F. Smith. THE WINDER NEWS Wanted Help. A motorist came upon another whose machine had broken down on the road. In the disabled car sat a woman. “Need any assistance?” inquired the newcomer, courteously. The other man lifted his flushed and grimy face from under the hood. “Yes," he replied. “I wish you’d an swer my wife’s questions while I’m fix ing this engine.—Selected.
