“Made In Georgia”
Campaign in Statham.
r
i
The committee working in Statham
the observance of “Made in Geor
gia Week." did efficient work, securing
the hearty co-operation of Statham
people.
The merchants co-operated by arrang
ing appropriate and attractive windows
displaying Georgia products. Among
the windows attracting much attention
were the following:
An improvised freight train of tin
cans loaded with Georgia products.
Another displaying 27 varieties of
fresh Georgia-grown garden vegetables.
Another showing made in Georgia
hardware, also displaying posters giv
ing numerous items in which Georgia
ranks first among other states.
Still another displaying Georgia
drugs.
In other windows pretty ginghams
and other Georgia-made materials were
shown.
! Posters and placards were found in
all the windows giving interesting facts
about the Made in Georgia products
and urging Georgians to utilize her
own products.
.1 That the people of Statham joined
heartily in the spirit of this movement
was demonstrated by the tempting
Georgia-products dinner served on the
school campus ou Saturday, May 27tli.
The school rally program having been
concluded in the morning, the after
noon session was given over to the com
mittee in charge of the “Made-in-Geor
giu” campaign. Mrs. W. M. Holsenbeck,
of Winder, who is district chairman of
this campaign, and Miss Mary E Cres
well, of the State College of Agricul
ture, Athens, gave very interesting and
instructive “Georgia” talks. This pro
gram concluded the “Made in Georgia
campaign in Statham.

Student Should Fight the Cigarette.”

high school, 1,000. Splendid essays
were written and much interest mani
fested by the students and parents.
When folks begin to study on subjects,
they begin to act, and who knows the
good results from this work?
This motto of the W. C. T. U. is “For
God, and Home and Native Land.” The
S. T. I. work has been conducted thru
the term. Literature was distributed in
various grades of the three schools In
Winder relating to temperance teach

and nicotine. Prof. Cash has given sev
eral talks at Chapel exercises on the
evils of cigarettes and profanity.
Miss Ida Kilgore and Miss Blanck,
with some other primary teachers, and

that she will win again .

Why Suffer from Rheumatism?
Do you know that nine out of every
ten cases of rheumatism are simply
rheumatism of the muscles or chronic
rheumatism, neither of which require
any internal treatment? The pain may
he relieved by applying Chamberlain’s
Liniment, which makes sleep and rest
possible, and that certainly means a
great deal to any one afflicted with
rheumatism. Advt.

AN IMAGINARY
STROLL BY C. M. T.
We will take an imaginative stroll
this week, and will make our starting
point in the state of Tennessee.
We will follow a way blazed and cut
out by General Jackson, pathfinder,
prior to 1818. Tlis trip was made by
General Jackson's army very likely in
1815, when he came south to subdue
the Indians and Spendiards, which were
giving the United States no little trou
ble.
The map department at Washington
has furnished me a map of Georgia
showing the federal road as mapped by
Early in 1818. Ths way crosses the
Tennessee line and enters Murray coun
ty, Ga., about four miles east of the
Connasoga river. This road as mapp
ed runs nearly south for nearly five or
six miles, then southeast some ten or
twelve miles and crosses into Gilmer
county. It runs about five miles of
Ellijay near Town creek. Then it
crosses into Pickens county and runs
near Talking Rock. From here it runs
nearly straght to Jasper and a few
miles north of Marble Hill, and crosses
into Dawson county, passing Yellow
creek.
Now, here, our map and stories of old
people differ. lam told it runs further
south between Barretsville and Bright,
crosses into Forsyth county near Sil
ver City, and crosses the Chattahoochee
at an old ferry first below Brown’s
bridge. Thence near Oakwood and then
on the a place we know- as Randolph
court ground, a mile north of Brasel
ton. Having crossed out of Hall into
Jackson county, we know, personally,
its route through the county. From
Randolph it ran on down by Angle De-
LaPerriere's old home, thence on to
Bob Fleeman's old place. Here it turn
ed south, went down by the Charley
Finch old home and crossed the middle
Oconee at Johnson’s Mill originally the
Wood mill. It went out by the Jo Ad
ams place and intersected the state
road nt the Elisha Thompson place,
now Arcade. From here it led on down
to Athens.
As it is mapped, it runs from Athens
to Whitehall and crosses the Appalachee
into Morgan county at Appalachee. It
runs on down by Madison and crosses
into Putnam county about five miles
east of Godfrey. It runs by Eatonton
near Nona, and runs on into Milledge
ville. Here it divides, one branch run
ning off to Macon, while another runs
off to Augusta and down the river to
Savannah.
Many families, I have no doubt, have
followed this noted road in seeking new
homes, going south and east from the
inland river to a more level section of
the Piedmont belt.
In the winter of 1868-9, one A (bun
Thompson left Ducktown, Teun, with
four 4-horse wagons loaded with his
family and all his possessions. The
oldest son, Glenn, wife and babies were
in one wagon, and John W.. his wife
and babies in number two, while James
and bis wife were in the third. Now,
Jasper, just a boy, drove the fourth,
all of which well loaded. Adam rode on
a beautiful bay mare, sometimes in
front and sometimes in the rear.
The first day's travel brought them
to this federal road at or near Ellijay.
Here they camped. Now, this camping
business was interesting to us four and
five year-old chaps. The mules were
taken out atnl hitched to sapplings. We
children were set upon tiie ground. The
bow-frame sheet and all were taken off
the wagon and placed in such a posi
tion as to make a partial tent. Leaves
were raked up and bedding placed there
on. Chairs, trunks and such were plac
ed to give a home-like appearance.
A clear place was swept and a tire was
started. Supper was cooked and eaten
by firelight or a tallow candle. Supper
over, you stroll out on the obi road.
What a pretty picture! Four or five
fires and happy children playing around
in a dense forest miles from any house.
The owl hoots and cries and the nigh*
hawk sends forth a lonesome scream.
The bark of a lonesome wolf on the dis
tnat hill and the champing of feed by
the mules is heard and we creep back
to our wagon cover from our wilder
ness of fear.
Another’s day’s travel and we are
near Dawsonvilte, Dawson county. We
camp again, but here we meet kin-folks.
We spend the night at or near the
present Juno with £eb Payne, a broth
er-in-law of Adam Thompson.
The third day’s travel has its story
different from the others. As we were
crossing the Hightower river, I know
not just where, which was running nar
row and swift, on a small bridge with
no banisters and many loose planks
continually slipping and creaking, one
of the teams hail trouble. John’s wagon
and team passed over safely but James’
team was not so successful. The left
hand wheel mule fell through the
bridge, that is, his two hind feet did.
They all stopped perfectly still as if
they knew of the danger. James hal
lowed to John, who made a sudden
bend down the right bank of the river.
John leaped out of the wagon and ran
back, leaving mother and us three ioys
in the wagon and four mules hitched

standing on a sidling road where a
short cut to the left would tumble wag
on and contents right into the swift
rushing water of the Hightower. Moth
er began to cry. She saw the peril
those were in who were trying to get
the tyiule out of the bridge and she saw
also her own danger. We tried to paci
fy her by promising her all the candy
we bad. The mule was gotten out safe
ly, except a few scratches and on we
went.
Our fourth day’s journey brought us
near the Jackson county line. We
camped at Hoe Cooper’s, an old ac
quaintance of Adam Thompson.
The fifth day’s travel brought us
down the federal road to near Kuu
dolph court ground. Here we turned
towards what is now Mulberry bridge.
We crossed about half u mile below
the present Mulberry bridge, near D. K.
Lyle’s old home and drove over to
what some of you know as James Mor
gan’s place near Rockwell.
A. D. Camp had sold to Adam
Thompson that farm, but had not vacat
ed it. Our people and A. 1). Camp's
family lived there a week or two, and
we were crowded. The reason of Ad
am Thompson’s coming was: lirst, to
get among old friends he knew —
Ephraim and Lewis Mathews, Varney
Mahaflfce and Buck Rutherford. His
second reason was to go south, grow
cotton and get rich. The third rea
son was his wife dying, he had no desire
to stay in a place where he had had so
many unpleasant memories. The boys
all begged him to leave the copper
mines and find a place of better and
more moral environments.
One year at this place, he then pur
chased of I)r. I .J. M. Goss 400 acres
near what we know as Johnson Acad
emy. Here he lived until May, 1882,
when his soul took its flight to a better
world. C. M. Thompson.
