CONTINUING ALONG
FIDDLERS TRAIL
f My trip last week rested me eonsid
rably in mind and body, so now 1 am
in a fairly good shape for a stroll. Ac
cording to promise I must take the Fid
dlers Trail going nearer east than
south.
Lea ring Winder early in the day for
our trip leads us to High Shoals on the
waters of the Appalachee. The only
old settler on this route some sixty
years ago inside the present incorporat
ed limits was Wills Whitehead. This
home was on the right and some 50
yards from this trail. The next is
Antioch Methodist church; it stood near
the cut in the U. M. It. It. and between
it and Dr. Joseph W. H. Hamilton’s
old home. None lias been able to tell
us much of the old church. Here in
IST? was buried W. E. McDaniel and
about 1808 Jackson McDaniel was bur
ied here, and his good wife was buried
here. Bome think this was the parent
church of Concord and Bethlehem.
We must go on. Next on our right is
the home of the late Dr. Joseph W. H.
Hamilton.
The next on our left was the home
of G. W. Smith, father of Winder’s G.
-W. Sjniife.
He did much business in general
merchandise in his day. The store house
on our right will long be remembered
toy comers and goers.
Now the left had road leads us off
toward Statham; we keep straight on.
First on our right is Mrs. Martha Wil
liams, the mother of the late A. M. Wil
liams. Next on the same side is Dick
Smith and off to our left some where
near a quarter of a mile is Nodoroc,
tin- Indian Hell or Mud Volcano.
Our next is the Joshua Smith home
and a cross road. This is the Jefferson!
aind Monroe road. Now on our right
Sind on the east side of this other road
was a large tree; it was the iudian cor
ner of Beadland. This place was known
as Calamet. Before we coine to anoth
er old resident we come to the place
where an Indian lad—TataNyxter—
ambushed and killed Irtyrmyrmisco,
an Indian chief of the Bohuron tribe.
The next was the home of John Jones,
the father of Dock Jones, whose home
we will pass.
Giles McElroy and William McElroy
are old homes on our right. Now we
cross a small stream, the only running
water on this trail between here and
Ivy creek beyond Hog Mountain house.
home „
On our right is the old home of Quil
liati Greer and farther on and ao our
left is the old John Hayse home and
McNorton place.
Next on the right is the Drury Jack
son old home. He is the father of our
neighbor, J. H. Jackson. Next is the
Isaac Wallace old home. He is an un
cle of our townsman, F. M. 'Wallace.
We have now arrived at the cross
road again; here we are crossing the
Athens and Monroe road. Neighbor at
this place many years ago and before
there was a church out yonder at Beth
abara, there was built here a brush
arbor at the directions of Mrs. Lucy
Haves, wife of John Hayes. She being
a Christ-like soul and so often enter

promised her a week’s service if she
would make preparations which she
splendidly did. This was the parent
church from which Bethabara sprang

those who came needed water ; a fel

And the home of Stphen

right- On our right was the old home
of David Cook. Then we come to where
the Watkinsville road turns to the left

right the homes of John Hayes and of

A Taurulaboule and
MY MOCKIN’ BIRD MILL MEET ME.
By Arnold B. Hall, Wadley, Ga.
The valley land are dreamiu’
Where the whisperin’ breezes stray,
And the violets peep a welcome,
If winter clouds are gray.
The honeysuckle’s comm’
With the kiss of April suns
And the pink ail'd white arbutus
Is beckoning where the brooklet rims;
The roses may be hiding
Their heavenly wealth awhile,
But they'll join the peach-blooms later,
Blessiu’ many and many a mile!
And when the springtime's kisses
Call the violets to iuake
And colors of the sunset
Greet purple peak and lake,
With file glnd red roses glowin’
Hope and glory for Love’s sake. —
Then my mockin’ bird will meet me
With his music ringin' free,
Yes, my mockin’ bird will meet me
In his old magnolia ire#!
The memories of his music
Come-back when I'm alone,
Like the love-time still a-lingerin’
—He’s my mockin' bird, my own;
Oil, his music-notes are golden,
God's grand opera rich and free,
He's sure to meet me singin’
In hi,s old magnolia tree!
The lilacs will he listenin’
In the twilight, fairies say,
His songs arc softly ringin’,
And he's really on his way!
The moon-glow will be glory,
Like a gentle kiss of love.
While the angels up in Heaven
Will lean and listen from above,
When my mockin’ bird sings solos
In his old magnolia tree —
It’s the greatest of grand operas,
And, like love, It's given free!
In the moonbeam’s magic glow.
Among the old magnolia's blossoms
How his melodies will flow !
And song-jewels for the June nights
While the south wind wanders free
Why, my mqckin’ bird makes heaven
In his old magnolia tree!
His dream s',ngs lift us upward
When we lisn-ii all alone.
He gets mighty close to Heaven,
My mockin’ bird, my own!
