iff s jiare of the honors.
ff lB “speaking of Houses I would
■ , vou remember that it now em
ffaces a good portion of each of
■these three districts. _ .
1 T j ie winder or Houses district is
•bounded on the East by Chandler’s
■and dones districts and from Jones
M lt the Edgar place we go in a fairly
TtraWht line to Barber’s creek and
lup this creek some distance. We
|, ea ve this creek and cross the Na
tional highway near the Summerour
I nearly straight to Ce-
Riar Hill; thence to the James Har
l v ,,;i place; thence nearly straight to
■ the mouth of Rocky creek; thence
■ down the Mulberry river to the Han-
Rock bridge, surrounding a very re
■ sourceful section. The soil is red
I day soil on the creeks adjacent to
I the river, but the ridge section is of
Ia gray, sandy and easily worked soil.
I it is also very productive, especially
I for such crops as cotton, watermelon
I ground-peas, nniskmelons, wheat and
I potatoes of all kinds. It is not so
I good for corn on these ridges but
I the creek and river bottoms are ex-
I tra where they are not too badly
I overflowed.
We have a section taking it as
Ia whole where anything can be
raised. Then if we are not a prosper
I ous people it is just simply our own
fault. AVe have been blessed for a
number of years with suitable sea
sons, we seldom have damaging rain
! fall or streams but occasionally they
come. The principal streams are
ICedar creek, the heads of Beech
creek and Jackson creek. Cedar
creek runs through this district and
has upon it a wonderful water fall
at the old White mill site. Any
amount of machinery could be run If
this power was harnessed and put to
work instead of lying there dormant.
There is another pretty fair shoal
at A. A. Camp old mill site. Anoth
er creek is Hawk creek. It empties
into Mulberry river higher up the
river. It also has some pretty fair
shoals. This district especially in
and close to Winder has a rock foun
dation and of this granite I have
told of in a former sketch.
I will now tell you of a few of
the pioneer settlers of this district:
I shall name some who were here
a few years back, for I must give
the names of some of the men who
have been a power in making this
district what it is today. John G.
House is the man from whom this
district received its name. James

Try Buchu and Juniper for Weak
Kidneys cr Bladder,
If kidneys and bladder are weak;
obliged to get up often at night, urin
is dark, spots before the eyes, back
aches, puffy ankles or eye-lids, drop
sy, rheumatism, lumbago, jellow skin
short breath, dizziness, despondency,
diabetes. The best medicine for
these distressing symptoms is old
fashioned Stuarts Buchu and Juniper
Compound. It neutralizes the acids
in the urin and strengthens the neck
of the bladder and cleans all impu
rities from the kidneys thus curing
the worst cases of Kidney or blad
der trouble. Take a spoonful of
Stuarts Buchu and Juniper in a lit
tle water after meals and on going
to bed. Sold by G. W. De La Per

The Quinine That Does Not Affect The Head
Because of its tonic and laxative effect, LAXA
TIVE KROMO QUININE is better than ordinary
Quinine and does not cause nervousness nor
ringing in head. Remember the full name and
look for the signature of E. W. GROVE. 25c.
great have been the success of those
who followed after has all been due
to their wise planning.
Had some interested person not
took hold and said “Let us build here
a school house and there a church,”
the work would not have been done.
Had not men seen far enough ahead
to spend their cash to build the
Gainesville & Jefferson narrow' guage
railroad it certainly would not have
come this way. Then the same could
have been said of the Seaboard that
comes thundering down the way with
its thirty and forty freight cars shak
ing the earth as she passes.
Had it not been for the foresight
of some of our men of today we
would not have had the many great
and needful enterprises in this lovely
little city today; the same I shall tell
of more fully in the near future.
It took such men as Robert White
and Carter Hill to blaze the way for
xMasonry. In a latter day it took
such men as N. J. Kelly and Dr.Wy
ley Bush to build railroads. It took
such men as John S. Smith and Z.
F. Stanton to find a pathway for the
merchant It took such men as T A.
iMaynard, Carithers Bros., W. H.
Toole and J. S. Smith to open the
way of the banker. It took the big
hearted W. H. Kimble to show a
profit in machinery. It took Dr.
.femes (M. Saunders, Dr. J. W. Ham
ilton and Dr. James A. Thompson
to show to the people what could be
done by the practicing physician. I
would like to say just here there has
not been a set of physicians before
or since their day who did as much
charity work as they. Their terri
tory reached from Jefferson to Law
renceville and from the vicinity of
Monroe to the junction on the Gaines
ville Midland. None but they knew
so much of the ten and fifteen mile
drives or on horseback in the rain
and sleet and snow. The physician
of today carefully wraps himself in
heavy clothes, jumps into an auto
and skims over the road like a bird.
( Ynd it sometimes is the case, must
I say, that men and women suffer for
the want of a doctor. It is too cold
or the doctor is just a bit indisposed.
I have known one of these old men
to have a friend hitch his horse to a
buggy and he would get out of bed
when he was scarcely able to go. But
suffering humanity was calling and
he responded.
I sat one night beneath the mazda’b
glow
And penned a verse on “Friends of
Long Ago.”
“Ah, Tell me where you are tonight,"!
I wrote
With tear-dimmed eyes and choking,
tightened throat.
Aly verses finished, sped on their
way
they were published, just the
other day.
At yestermorn the mailman's double
ring
Awakened me from dreams of balmy
spring.
My letter box was stuffed and flow
ing o’er.
A dozen missives lay upon the floor.
A nameless joy, a wild, ecstatic thrill
Swept o’er me as 1 realized. that
Bill
And May, Clyde, Jake, Ned, Roy
and Ruth and Joe
And all the other friends of long ago
Had, each and every one, sat down
to write
And tell their old chum where they
were that night.
The Rev’rend Haskin"s boy, long-leg
ged Joe,
Gives tango lessons now, at ten per
throw.
Eiear little May, the shrinking vio
let
Became a window-smashing suffra
' gette;
While ragged Ned, who oft had
naught to eat.
Has just cleaned up a million bucks
in wheat.
Old Jake, who blacked my eye with
fine effect,
Now touches ine by telegraph,—col
lect.
And (Clyde, who wore long curls till
he was eight,
Has just knocked out the champ,
Young Kid McPhate.
And Roy, the smartest boy in town
by far,
Now gathers nickels on a Broadway
( car.
Poor Bill. I feared that he’d go
wrong some day—
He’s in the senate now—perhaps to
stay.
While Ruth, my sweetheart once, —
excuse these grins—
Sends photos of her kids —and six
are twins.
