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.

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. COTTNT’2’ UsTE'W'S.
