J. W. SAUNDERS FIRST MEM
BER CHAMBER COMMERCE.
Mr. J. W. Saunders, proprie
tor of Winder’s Pure Milk Dairy,
was the first to become a member
of the Barrow County Chamber
of Commerce. He was enrolled
last Thursday and paid the full
membership fee in advance.
Mrs. F. W. Bondurant was the
first female member enrolled.
A line meeting of the farmers of Har
row county ami the business men of
Winder met in the court house last
Friday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock for
the purpose of extending the organiza
tion of the chamber of commerce re
cently organized in this county’.
The meeting was called to order by
Dr. (’. B. Mott, president of the organ
ization. Mr. J. Stiekney, the sec
retary of the body was present. Talks
as to the purpose of the organization
and its possibilities to this county were
made by Messrs. A. A. Camp, C. O.
Maddox, D. F. Thompson, W. If. Quar
teriuan, A. N. Porter, J. W. McWhort
er and others. The Chamber of Com
merce received 35 new members that
afternoon and since that time many
others have joined. In all, about 75
are now members of the organization.
The dues were fixed at $12.00 per year
for tiio.se living in Winder and $6.00 per
year for all living outside of the city.
These dues are payable quarterly in
advance. We ought to have four or
five hundred members of this organi
zation 1% the city and county.
It is one of the purposes of the Cham
ber of Commerce to arrange a marke"
for all the products of the county. Ev
ery farmer .should be an active support
er'of the bodv for it will mean an es
tablishing of markets here for other
things besides cotton. We are being
told that we must diversify our farm
ing operations and this cannot be done
unless markets are provided for other
things thin we may desire to grow.
A sharp lookout will be kept for on
terprises that may be brought to Bar
row coupty. Winder and Barrow coun
ty are now getting down to business
sHid if our people will just pull togeth
er in the proper spirit the clouds will
roll away.
Winder Market & Pro
duce Company Open.
R. D. Moore, the veteran meat cutter
of Winder, aud who knows how to han
dle a butcher knife better than the
man who made it, is back in the mar
ket business in Winder. He and Mr.
T D Ridgeway are together ready to
cater to the wants of the people of this
section it matters not bow fastidious
that taste may be. They are right
across the street from the Winder
News office, and we fear the News ed

Bob Moore cut meat, he does it so dex

tip top service, and he knows how to
do this.

AND THE BARROW TIMES
Winder, Barrow County, Georgia, Thursday, March 2, 1922
C. M. THOMPSON AT
IT AGAIN--STROLIN’
TAKES THE FIDDLERS’ TRAIL
THIS TIME, AND ON AND
ON AND ON.
We have sat about uutil we almost
have the gout and 1 guess we had best
take another stroll. Suppose we take
it Indian tile and follow the “Fiddlers
Trail!” This trail is one and the same
as Okoloeo from the fork of the Law
reneeville and Thompson Mill roads
baek through Winder down the Hog
Mountain road, how far. 1 know not.
The Okoloeo trail follows the lines be
tween the counties of Jackson and
Gwinnett to the Hall county line.
Thence on, I know not where.
The Fiddlers Trail launches out to
wards UawreiiceviUe, but leaves this
road at wliat once we knew as Sykes
shop, on through Fence, Sugar Hill
district, across the southern railroad
on to the Chattahoochee river and
crosses it at or near Strickland Ferry,
now bridged. Thence on we know not
where.
1 have told you Wylie Wright lived
at (he place where these two trails
separated. That was a mistake. Wy
anoved in nearer to old Concord church,
niived in nearer to old Concord church.
James Causby lived just back of where
Marion Maynard built. The next
home on this Fiddlers Trail some 50
years since is the Cal Stanley home
on the right; next is Cedar Hill church,
which was organized in 1851. A few
of its charter members are Jesse Os
born. G. H. Stewart. Thomas H. Hnr
vil, Milton Osborn, J. M. Garrett, Eliz
abeth Ridgeway, Nancy Simpson, Nan
cy Wheeler, Mary Manders and Saiah
Stewart.
The present house was built in 1002.
I find Harwell Jackson preached here
a year or two. A. J. Kelly ti or i
years. H. X. Rainey and W. S. Mc-
Carty also served this church. But we
must stroll on.
Thomas H. Harvil's home is off to
our light. Then the widow Sells moth
er. Jones Sell, lived to our right. On
the right and just near the Summerour
home was the old Oliver Causby home.
The next house was George H. Stew
nrt’s; he was the father of Jesse Stew-
art. , ~ , .
To our left, a half mile, is the old
\imK f ead home. This old gentleman
was killed by the Seaboard railroad
several years ago. Now, my friend, we
Pave reached the highest point of Fid
dlers Trail; it is down hill to a small
stream in Oconee county and down
stream to Ivory creek in Sugar Hill
district. , , ~
Neighbor, we have traveled a ridge
and must continue so for a long dis
tance. Off to our left are the head
waters of Marhury creek and to our
right is Cedar Creek head waters. Our
next home, since 50 years, is that of
Peter Kilgore, grandfather of our clev
er banker* Guy H. Kilgore. Now, on
this road and near Dillard’s cross roads
now Curl, there lived Joshua Hutchins,
Goodwin Miller, Christopher Sweat.
Now, we are passing the city of Au
burn ami a quarter of a mile from lie
depot there once* lived a family b> u
name of Lothrage. Next we find Wm.
A Hamilton to our left. We must not
pass without noticing Appalachee
church. This is an old church, hut no
record hack of 1877. This church is
the birth place of Perry-Ramey, now
Southeastern Christian College of
-U We must travel on. At the cross
roads once lived Etsel Osburn. He was
a union man and the true southern
blood made it so hot for him that ht
left and went over into Missoni i. Next
we flnd John King, then Griff Roberts.
Now we are approaching the H<* Moun
tain house of so much note. The dis
tance is so great that I will base
neglect some noted-places ns we tiav
el on. The Hog Mountain church near
this trail was organized iu 1854.
and Isabel Hadaway, " ilhs and Julia
Mm Head, John and Frances Morgan,
john, Thomas and Lucy Ann I ‘Gmau
were charter members. Amos Hada
way served this church eleven years
on/i received 113 member*?.
8 We now note some old residences an
we stroll on. The first, many years
ago, was Abel Wuldrup; to our left next
William Bruell. Here was the first
Cains postoffice. Our next is James
Cains and unde of our friend, John
8001. Next is Moses Willhanks. Then
we come to Ivy creek and on it the
Hamilton mill. We have traveled quite
a distance and found no water streams.
Once a traveler on the trail stopped
between Jug Tavern and Dillards
cross roads at a Mr. Pierce’s, the great
grandfather of Mr. Bud Pierce. He
asked for water. Sarah, the wife,
said, “Too far tote,” aud closed the
door.
Next we reach a fellow by the name
of Swafford, the Burton Cloud place,
and soon we approach the old Sugar
Hill court ground. It is yet several
miles to Strickland ford. (Ferry and
bridge.) This section over which we
have passed being ridgeway some 60
or 70 years ago was covered with wild
grasses and a black jack growth, with
occasionally a pine growing up in its
majesty. The black-jack grew in patch
es and furbished hiding places for fox,
turkey and deer. You could see them
WINDER NATIONAL
OFFERS PRIZES
A prize Essay contest has been plann
ed by the National Bank for all the
school children under the age of eigh
teen. The subject of the essay will be
“George Washington,” which should
interest all thoroughly American citi
zens, The prizes to be awarded are
as follows: First prize $10.00; Sec
ond prize $5.00; Third prize $3.00.
The inspiration for this contest was
furnished our community by the pic
ture on a calendar presented to ev
ery class room in the public schools by
(he. Winder National. This picture is
a reproduction of a famous painting by
E. Percy Moran, famed as a painter
of colonial subjects. It is entitled
“Washington Among the Workers.”
“We thought a study of George Wash
ington would be very beneficial to our
community at this time,” said Win
der National. “We want the rising gen
erations to get an understanding of the
great American principles for which he
stood. Many of his countrymen were
eager to make him king. But Wash
ington firmly held to his established
plans. Great as in war, lie was also
distinguished as a promoter of peace
and prosperity.
The prize essay contest is to run
until April Ist. Three of our well
known townsmen will act as judges
and award prizes. The three winning
essays will be published in this news
paper.

AN INCIDENT OF
THE CIVIL WAR
Dear Readers:
This is a subject I hesitate to tackle.
There are so many conflicting stories.
Nevertheless, I shall endeavor to take
a course as near the reasonable and
mean distance as possible, not permit
ting myself to go to either extreme.
That which I now write may some day
be recorded history.
In Sherman's march through Geor
gia there were numbers of meting par
ties scattered so they had to limit their
way back to the army or beat it north
into Tennessee, a safe section. A Yan
kee colonel by the name of Sionemnn,
while meandering in Georgia found
they had run upon a town, Athens.
They wheeled about and some went to
wards Jefferson and some up the Hog
Mountain road. Some came up the old
Milledgeville road, all going north.
We find that a goodly number fed
ta.'ir horses a ti e Jefferson and Mon
roe road at the Hinton Ford across
piiker cn>k This ford is between C.
M. Thompson's and W. 11. Elrod s
farms. When they hud fed and mount
ed they met nei r Johnson’s selio- l
house n man in a buggy, and in a quar
rel the soldiers shot the man, took his
horse and went on crossing the river
at Hancock’s bn Ige. I)r. I. J. M. Goss
took the wounded man to n log cabin
where L. A. Whitehead now lives,
dressed his wounds and set him on his
journey.
This bunch of soldiers went around
into the DeLaPert-iere settlement, then
must have crossed the river and met
ivith those coming tip the Hog Mountain
mid. Nigh! came on them at or near
(Nazareth church) King Tanyurd. They
were tired and sleepy and soon fell
upon the ground to rest. Mr. King be
ing at home <;n a furlough and seeing
the approach of the Yankees, ran and
hid where lie could watch their maneu
vers. As soon as possible he mnoo
haste to locate some 75 southern sol
diers and led them through the picket
lines, took the enemy by surprise, caus
ing them to flee and leave everything
behind. Several were killed and two
or three were burbil between County
Line school house and the road. One
was buried here in Winder near the
school building.
A good woman who lived near Han
cock bridge said there were five or six
thousands but her husband who hid
out on the river told Iter there were not
over a hundred. The mother of P. A.
Flanigan and Hiram Flanigan told me
that C. C. Casper had left a little mule
and that she ltid him iu the smoke
house until all was quiet. Stanton and
Causby ran their stock to the swamps
and M. F. Hinton sent l,ee and Arse to
the old fields to hide their horses.
For weeks and months after this fight
and flight, farmer lmys would often find
a gun or saddle or blanket in the woods
thereabouts. This is some Barrow
records of the war of 1861.
Several years ago our neighbor, R.
L. Carithers, was tip north buying dry
goods, and in conversation with a man
whom Mr. Carithers met, the man found
out that Mr. Carithers was front Jug
Tavern. The man said: “I have been
through that place and it was a trying
time. I was worn out riding and we
stopped to rest at King’s Tanyard and
in the night we were routed by some
southern soldiers!” Their conversa
tion was pleasant and interesting, a
northern soldier ami the son of a south
ern gentleman. C. M. Thompson.
