Thompson Strolls.
(By C. M. Thompson.)
Now friends, I shall give you the ben
efits of another stroll. I made my start
ing point recently upon the Federal
Highway. I shall do the same again.
This Federal Highway was cut out
prior to 1818 and in the near future
I hope to give you a nice little stroll
down it from Tennessee to Milledge
ville, Augusta and Savannah.
This stroll starts us at the old home
of J. C. Randolph, some sixty years
ago. We take a very poor settlement
road and travel through forest and
field. The first home was the Wyatt
Lee home. Next we come to a cross
Our way is crossed by the Gainesville
and Hoschton road now. This cross
road surrounded by timbers then is now
the pretty little city of Braselton. Now
we turn south and soon come to the
home of Judge Russ Parks, pass thru
the thriving city of Hoschton of to-day
Ok(}' next is the David place now own
ed and John Hill. Here
we gm|o the right and next is the
Blalock home. Our next is Bethlehem
church. Then Prices bridge. Here it
was that in the flight of the yankees
from King’s Tanyard fight several men
were drowned. The bridge was being
wrecked on purpose or accidentally
and they fell in. Our next is the Buck
Rutherford old home. Then a tenant
house where Frank Rutherford built (
later.
Our next is Bethabara church and
cemetery. Next a mile, one Ansolem
Anthony owned and operated it at one
time Later, John Elder, then Burk
Gamp owned it; then P. P. Pirkle. J.
N. Williams finally owned and Wm.
and John Hill got it and tore it away.
Now we cross little Mulberry river'and
take the right; we soon come to John
Elder home, cross Rocky creek and go
up to the Nancy Bagwell home and
ii>ar here is Harmony Grove Baptist
church. We turn to our left and soon
come to Dillards Mill, now Parks mill,
We again cross Rocky creek and find
the millers house on our right. Next
the”Vold home of Mark Blakey, now
on*.led by George Giles.
The old Patillo home is where Frank
Gregory now lives. Next we come to
the Dillard cross roads. Here the Fid
dlers Trail crosses our path. We know
this place as Carl—a pretty little bus
iness mart. We will keep straight on
for our journey is not yet ended. Our
next home is that of Newt Robinson’s,
then the John Maxey old home, then
Wylie Pearce and David Carters.
We now cross a small stream
and then arrive at Perry Pep
pers and Ben Smith old Court Ground.
This old court ground originally was
south across a creek. As we travel on
wr next find the Dennis Sharpton old
place on our left and next on our right
the William Beatty home. Next is the
Charley Cheatham home. In 186fi W. T.
Perry got possession of it. Next we
come to ttie Wash Boss old place; then
the Sweat old home soon looms in front
of us, the Moses Dillard home on our
right, the Gid Welborn old home in
1850. And on the same side of the way
we find Wyley Beeves old home, now
owned by Cleveland Perry. Wyley
Reeves and his father, Lofton Beeves
were considerable laughers. He and
Caleb Sims put a bale of cotton as to
which could out laugh the other. They
tdiose a second to see fair play and set
the day for the contest. Mr. Reeves ar
rived first and practicing some of his
more modest laughs when Caleb Sims
and his second had gotten in a mile of
the place he heard Mr. Reeves laugh
ing. He told ills second to go and tell
them he would give up his chance at
the bale of cotton.
The Wyley Reeves old home was pur
chased by Willis Kilgore in ISO. and
it down and moved it to Athens
vnre he ran a wagon yard. At one
Dr. Bradley Still
Considering Call
Georgia Tech
That the time had not come, as yet
to make a decision in the matter of
the calls which he had received to
another large church of the denom
ination and to the headship of the
Georgia School of Technology, was
the reply of Rev. Henry Stiles Brad
ley, I).D. pastor of State Street Con
gregational Church, following an ex
pression of the church and the State
Street Men’s Club, that notwithstand
ing these calls, he would continue as
pastor and member of the Men’s club.
The State Street Men’s Club thus
voiced its appreciation of the work
of Dr. Bradley at a meeting held at
the Congress Square Hotel last even
ing. when E.C. Jones, past president
of the club, expressed the sentiments
of the organization in an appropriate
manner. Dr. Bradley responded w ith
feeling, explained that so far as the
outside church was concerned it took
him but a short time not to accept
the call. To make a decision in the
other matter required more serious
consideration, he said.
Presiding at the meeting was Vice
President William S, Linnel. A fea
ture of the entertainment was an
illustrated talk by Ralph G. Libby,
president of the J. R. Libby Co —Port-
land Evening Express.
time at the Jot Limley old home was
a shop used for a Sunday school house
and here the Rev. Tom Tucker began
to preach; many of you know.
Now we have arrived at the Thomas
Davis place owned by W. H. Perry
and F. M. Stewart. Then we come to
what is now Reeves mill, owned by
Wm. Reeves. One report says that IV.
M. Hughes built it, while others say
Mr. Kitchens built it. Any Williams
Hughes owned then his son. Joseph
Hughes owned it. The next to own it
was Alex Smith, following him in 1569
John O. Perry owned it about 1875.
G. W. Smith and W. T. Perry owned
it. About 1890 Dr. Reeves got it and
now his son owns it.
One of the prettiest little fist bat
ties was fought near the present Car
ter Hill between Lump Galloway and
Dan Sharpton in 1850. One James Da
vis now living on the Ed Sparks place,
was an eye witness. He said Sharpton
whipped Galloway. Bc£h were bloody
as a hog and after the fight they took
Sharpton off to a spring, bathed him
in brandy. One of the hardest fought
battles was between John O. Perry ar.d
John Johnson; they fough- quite a
a long while over bushes and scppiir.gs
back and forth for a distance of some
50 yards. Mr. Perry won in this fight.
This was along this old road.
We have traveled some fifteen miles
or more and our way has been gener
ally south across hill and dale, creeks
and branches; we have not averaged
a house to the mile; sometimes we
have a large body of virgin forest to
pass through, filled with wild turkey,
foxes, squirrels, rabbits, owls, hawks,
and many other fowl and animals that
infest such forest. We started at Ran
dolph Court Ground, passed churches,
mills, cross roads and other places that
has become noted. We crossed the
Ok loco Indian trail at the Anthony
Mills and the Fiddler’s Trail at Dil
lard’s cross roads, passed, as you have
seen, the noted Ben Smith's Court
Ground, once a place to be feared by
travelers, but now a model section and
one to. be respected for its advance
ment along all lines.

THE SHINGLE MAN’S
REPLY TO THE MOD
ERN DAY SOLOMON
I noticed a piece in the paper, “A
Rejoinder” by C. M. Thompson.
In the first place this is incorrect,
as well as every statement contained
therein. There was no personal remarks
in my piece.
Second: And the party in question
is too old for me to get up his record.
As he seems to want to take up mine.
I understand after due investigation
that Noah lost the log book of the Ark.
And for that reason I cannot give you
as much history of the gentleman as
he has been giving of myself.
Third: I have paid more to the
church of my choice since I was twpn
ty-one, than he ever will pay. The
records are open.
Fourth: I have given more to the
poor in one year than the gentleman
has ever in a life time.
Fifth: In regard to Temperance. I
have been informed by the best scien
tists that the word temperance covers
a good deal of ground. And .the mere
matter of having taken a little snake
bite before Vollie got us,* I wish to
state that I am advised by scientists
that there is much worse dissipation
than this. And every man who has a
thimble full of sense can read between
the lines.
Sixth : I note from reading the piece
that the gentleman did not discuss a
single thing in question.
Seventh: I also note that he did
not touch the subject, but mere per
sonalities.
Eighth: I brought nobody’s record
into question. I have had no proper
ty bequeathed to me and as further in
formation I have three .children that
are graduating) school
in the I have got
as much religion as tl;e gentleman in
question and 1 think that I have done
as much to tlie/iplift fa t ipY communi
ty and to the orAmerica as the
gentleman that has always been de
lighted to get into the papers. I will
leave this to the people of Barrow
county.
There are several citizens that know
when I came to Winder. And there
being only one boy in the family, nat
urally I could not inherit anything
from my brother, and thereby be con
tinually in the way of the general pub
lic. I admit that the article written
was very insignificant as well as you
do. Because I have the first person
yet to meet that could see anything in
it themselves.
And in regard to crime. I will put
my record against yours. But that
like the rest of your piece, does not
interest the public. In regard to do
nations to public houses of worship.
Will say that I can show that I have
given more in this section in the last
twenty-five years, not only to the
white churches —but I have given more
to the churches that you ought to have
contributed largely to, than, you have
ever given all put together.
I will admit that I am not much on
getting into the papers. But, I am wil
ling to match my intelligence with
those continuous Jackass hrayers that
are always wanting to butt into some
thing. They seem to want to keep
themselves before the public and as far
as I can see, this is about the only way
that they have ever been able to do it.
I hope to be favored, with never read
ing such stuff anymore. Because I am
sure that it will give the general pub
lic the lock jpw.
Now, Bud. get on the subject, "Little
Black Satchel," and tell them what was
in it. As you seem to display a pro
fusion of knowledge on subjects that
was never brought in question at all.
You stay on the SATCHEL, and I will
stay on the JAZZ. Because I would
know that little grip now, and I am
quite sure you never heard a real piece
of JAZZ in your life. Now let's don’t
bore the people, instead give them some
more of “Martha she wed Solomon and
was born to them Susan, Dick and
John, and they also wed.
And for God’s sake that old Indian
.gag. So come on with that old In
dian and wed stuff. It sure, sure does
interest us. And would like for you to
explain, which.you like the best and
which you go to the most the movies
or the church, that you elaborate so
upon.
And now if this don’t do you I will
try again. But I forgot about the se
cret orders. Will say I have the hon
or of being a member of one that you
would not get into in a thousand
years. I have never had to have any
attendants to keep me safe at night,
and to accompany me to see the fair
lady I never got.
(This is bought space. Don’t forget
that. See?)

iness Concern of Cinrisnati, 0.
The Ph. Morton Art Bulletin System
of Cincinnati, Ohio, has appointed Mr.
H. J. Langston as sole representative
and manager of their business in the
state of Georgia.
This is one of the largest and most
reliable concerns of its kind in the
United States and Canada, dealing
mainly with large manufacturers,
wholesalers and the stronger and more
reliable retail concerns throughout the
country.
None but high class business men,
who can furnish the best of referen
ces and measure up to the "standard”
can get a connection with this concern.
It would therefore be a compliment to
any business man, to receive such an
appointment.
Mr. Langston is to be congratulated
on winning out for this place over a
number of strong opponents for the
Georgia territory.
Mr. Langston will make his business
head-quau’ters in Atlanta, but he and
his wife will continue to ninke their
home at the Nowell Hotel, for some
time yet, probably moving to Atlanta
later.
