C. M. THOMPSON’S
WEEKLY LETTER
~
IN the summer of the year 1867 the
\ “overseer” of that part of the Jef
ferson and Jug Tavern road that lay
wholly in Chandler's district warned
his hands to meet at or near where Ad
Mattox now lives. They later worked
as far toward Jug Tavern as the Cren
shaw place.
The overseer met and looked around
and found he had a goodly bunch, Jno.
Parker, John Graham, Wess Graham,
Elija Lay, Guss Collins, James Col
lins, Jo Collins, Ed Owens, James Ful
cher, Dave Fulcher, Jess Fulcher, Cam
Lyle, Bit Lyle, Louis Moseley, Jack
Haynie, Lee J. Johnson, James M.
Johnson, Richard L. Johnson, Tip Mc-
Elhannon, Jack McElhannou, Will Mc-
Ellmnnon, Dave and Hugh Hancock,
Jack and James Finch, Jackson Chan
dler, George and Tom Black, A. C.
Thompson, Whites Bill Mangum.
The colored were: John and Lindsay
Collins, Han Moore, Taylor Millsnps,
Prince McElhannon, Arch Warsham,
Code Millsapps and Harrison Flanigan.
Maybe others.
This road working business was not
as it now each person over 16 years
old had to work enough to put the roads
in good condition and if it was neglect
ed the grand jury had a right to indict
each overseer who failed in his duty.
This gang went to work with hoe,
shovel, pick and axe. Many were the
jokes cracked and many were the
pranks played on each other as they
toiled on from day to day. They began
at the Houses and Chandlers line and
worked through the district to Chan
dler and Jefferson district line at the
old Phelps place.
Many lived so far that they carried
their dinners like school children and
it kept one or two of the hands busy
moving coats, buckets and such like.
Now, when a lot ®f men meet and
mingle as had to it was a pretty
pleasant affair if no one got his dander
up but if someone got his feelings hurt,
you might look for blood.
There are in most bodies of men two
factions and in joking or yarn telling
each had his laughing friend, so it was
in case of disputes each had his friend
or foe.
Now, with this road gang all had gone
well until they crossed the Mulberry
river as they labored up this hill jok
ing got to a serious point. Probably
a question of ku klux and in this body
of men there were several. One Harri
son Flanigan, a pretty impudent negro
said some unkind words about ku klux
and that he was not afraid of them.
Those K. Ks. knew each other and
that some whites and all the darkies
were on side with Harrison. They la
bored on getting madder
and had reached the flat in front of the
John R. Hancock home. The bubble
was ready for the bursting. Harrison’s
fiitig at the Ku Klux brought James
Collins to a fight heat. He knocked
Harrison in the head with a hoe. Har
rison was carried home. It looked like
a riot.'
The overseer dismissed his hands un
til the next day. They returned hut
with guns stacked ready for the ne
groes who threatened vengeance.
Thus they worked the road out with
guns by theirj sides. ,
Now a joke like this was played on
some sleepy headed fellow; very likely
the story is true; in the parties I give
below:
Many years ago W. Jack Jones lived
south of Beech Creek and worked land
near the Widow Wilson farm. Judson
Willoughby, our Jud, farmed at his
mother’s. Jack and Jud often met and
joked. Jack’s home was a mile or more
off, so he carried his dinner and mule
feed and at noon hour fed his mule,
ate his dinned and slept.
One day .Tud came along found the
mule and Jack resting. Jack sound
asleep. Jud picked up the plow gear,
made a stampede over Jack, hallow
ing “Woa,! Woa!” Jack arose hallow
ing woa also, his eyes bulging out of
|uß head like new moons. It was some
time before Jack could get his bearings
and locating the disturbance when he
did he saw Jud some twenty or thirty
yards away laughing to be at a magpie.
Jack told Jud in no soft words what
he would do for him, and began to
think of some prank to even up with
Jud.
CARD OF THANKS

good citizens of Barrow and Gwinnett
counties who were so kind as to help

following because of their untiring la
bor in getting the good people to help
me out: Attieus Kircus, Dock Mad
dox. W. C. Stancil, W. W. Teal, J. H.

May God’s blessings rest on each of
these men and on each one that re
sponded to their call.

I would have them to do unto me. Deafen me to the jingle of tainted
money and to the rustle of unholy skirts. Mind me to the faults of the
other fellow, but reveal to me my own. Guide me so that each night
when I look across the table at my wife, who has been a blessing to
me, I will have nothing to conceal. Keep me young enough to laugh
with little children and sympathetic enough to be considerate of old age.
And when comes the day of darkened shades ami the smell of flowers,
the tread of soft footsteps and the crunching of wheels in the yard,
make the ceremony short and the epitaph simple—Hpre lies a man.”
