Mr. J. M. Hamrick Bids Farewell to
Sand Hill.
Farewell to Sand Hill, my lovely
Home! In 136,3 I came te this place
and commenced business in
partnership with my father. Two
year, afterwards the partnership
•was dissolved, and I remained here
in business by myself until the fall
of the year 1869 when I moved to
Atlanta, again entering into
co-partnership with my father, in
April 1361), becoming homesick, I
returned tothis place and comenc-
ed settling for life, as I thought.
The thought of leaving the* vicinity
where the years my boyhood have
been spent is to me a.very sad .one.
Since we came here 36 years ago
our associations have been pleasant
and many 1 nippy hours we spent
with friends wlm grew up with ns
hero, some of whom, alas! have gone
to their long home while we,thought
the goodness of a merciful prov
idence have survived. I leave
many kind friends that have stood
by nie in time of need, kind in lend-
inga helping hand at work, in visit-
ingus in sickness,and in rallying to
my support at the polls in all my
elections. My customers who
patronized me in business, I leave
with the best of feelings. Some
have paid me, and some have not,
but I believe they will as soon as
they can. I leave you all without
malice. I have done ail in my
power for the building up of this
community.
Brethren and sisters of the
church of our membership, we
leave you, bidding you God speed.
To the young and rising* generation,
we say live honest, truithful and se
der, as you will soon have to till
our places.
The people have entrusted
with one of the most
responsible offices of the county for
six years, and i have tried to fill it
to the best of my skill. For this
kindness to me the people of the
county will ever have a warm place
fn my heart. We move to Villa
Rica, where we expect to make
our future home, and hope to - act
so its to keep the confidence of our
old friends aod merit that of now
ones.
Wo leave our friend 3L AA\ Upshaw
in possession of the place and recom
mend him to the favor and partron-
age of the community. You will
find him truthful, clever, and
honest.
I have sold all my land and claim
none but six feet at the cemetery,
at E. A. Johnson’s, where I must
soon rest with loved companions
and children whom J hope to meet
in a better land. 3Iay the God of
Heaven bless you all, and peace
and harmony rest will you is the
desire of your true friend.

31 n. Editor: It is duo to the
kindness of a large number of
friends that I should publicly ac
knowledge my indebtedness for
numerous manifestations of favor
since my return from the annual
conference. These tokens of es
teem and appreciation are from all
the different denominations of
Christians as well as from friends
who have no ecclesiastical relation
to any particular church.
These favors all valuable and not
a few of them elegant, are refresh
ing to the worn spirit of an old
itinerant, wild for nearly thirty
years, has gone hither and thither
at the bidding of the church. May
the God whom I have imperfectly
served, reward these friends richly
for all their goodness to an un
worthy minister. The ladies of the
parsonage have’ not been over
looked and join me in this card of
thanks. And now, “with malice
towards none and charity for all,”
1 shall labor in the future, and as
in the past, to promote the peace
and prosperity of the whole com
munity. \v. J. Scott. _
Remincscences of its Early His-
tory--its Growth, Etc.
At our solicitation a friend in
Bowdon furnishes us with the fol
lowing reminiscences of that town,
its rise and p'fdgress, etc.
In 1849 N. Shelnutt moved with his
family .from Fairburn, Georgia, to
where Bowdon has since been built.
During the same year Joel Fain es
tablished a store one mile west of
the present town and Alex Gardner
two miles north and N. Shelnutt,
one-fourth mile, south.
In 1863, a meeting of the citizens
of the community was held, for
the purpose of locating the town.—
About thirty persons assembled,
and the r.esulj of Their delibera
tions was, that the'.present- site M as
agreed upon.
After agreeing upon the location
the Hon. 3Y. F. Johnson, owner of
the land, had it laid off into town
lots, and sold to the highest bidder
the same day, the.most, valuable lot
bringing $10.60.. The ffext question,
was a name for the town.. Bowdon
was suggested by Judge Shelnutt,
and agreed to, this name had been
given to a post- office near b.v, in
honor of *j distinguished member of
congress from Alabama, the Hon.
Frank W. Bowdon.
* The first^tore in the new town
was built by Earnuel Copeland and
-►Shelnutt followed suit by tearing
down his store house and,moving it
to the new town and TMcDaniel <fc
Adamson centered their interests-
there also.
Everyman in the community,
now felt a pride in building up the
town. Its growth Avas steady but
slow for three years.
The year 1866 was a memorable
one in Bowdon’s History. We now
had five stores and two bar rooms,
several shops and a good primary
school. Col. Charles A. McDaniel
and Major Jno. 31. Richardson
now located in Bowdon and estab
lished a collegiate institute, which
has ever since been the pride of our
town, The Southern Democrat, a
paper published in Carrollton in
1857, says of this institute. “Mc Dan
iel and Richardson have estab
lished at Bovdrm one of. the best
institutions of learning in the
southern states. Any one who will
visit their school rooms, examin*
their apparatus and hear the reci
tations of the students, will at once
admit that this institution is inferi
or to none in the south.”
In 1867, Bowdon yeas incorpora
ted and the sale of intoxicating
drinks prohibited.
Business increased, the buildings
used for bar rooms were soon filled
with useful merchandise.
Three churches were now built,
3Iissionary Baptist, Alethodist
Episcopal and Alethodist Protestant
Rev, Jas. Barron*, our first
Baptist minister still resides here,
Rev. C. Trussed was among the
first 3L E. preachers. Rev. John
Thurman, the present pastor, was
the first 3Iethodist Protestant min
ister. Air. Thurman also preached
the first sermon ever preached in
Atlanta about forty-five years ago
on the grounds now known as the
Kimball House lot. At the time of
Air. Thurman’s first sermon in At
lanta the State road was being built
to Atlanta. The present wife of
the lion Jno. Bonner was one of |
Air. Thurman’s, congregation on
that memorable sabbath.
Tn I860, Bowdon had ten stores,
two livery stables, three churches,
two tan yards, a number of shops
and two fine schools. Everything
and overybody.iii qnd. around Bow
don was prospering.
During this year a terrible fire
swept away three-fifths of the bus
iness houses of the town in a single
night. Scarcely had the smoke
from this, terrible disaster passed
away, when the mutterings of the
coming revolution were heard.
Bowdon’s noble sons promptly re
sponded to the call to arms. The
few business houses that were left
by the fire, were closed. Students
of the college volunteered under
their president and gallant leader,
Col. Charles A. McDaniel, whose
death on the battle field, left a va
cancy in the hearts of our people,
which no living man can fill.
Since the war, Bowdon 1ms grown
slowly but surely. Bowdon col
lege is still the pride of our town.
Our present population is about 420.
\Ye have seven shops, three church
es, two schools and ten variety
stores, doing in the aggregate,
about $130,000 of business annually.
But little cotton is brought here,
owing to the inconvenience of ship
ping, about 1000 hales per annum,
being the average bought.
