; SOME THINGS ,0F ITS EARLY HISTORY.
I ■ ■ f’
CHAP. V.
Editor • Herald— During the
first quarter of the present centu
ry, there came to this county, in
its first settlement, a respected
citizen and settled on the frontier
7 miles west of Lawreucevilie.
His family were mostly sons,
and Ptnong them was the now dis
tinguised. Dr. Jesse Boring, of the
North Georgia Conference, who
was born near the first part of the
Century.
Frontier life then, had many
privations of socie y and school
facilities, 'and afforded but poor
opportunities, for even a common
education. Reading, writing, and
ihe simple rules of Arithmetic,
were alone to be /aught here,then,
and tbwe imperfectly.
These poor advantages, were
ad that were received by the a r
Upon attaining to his majoivß
Jesse decided to enter theming
try, and preach the Gospel to the
udo and uncultivated population
and under these disadvantages.
The spareness of the population
and the poverty of the people,
made it necessary for the church
to send out missionaries into this
*
then, almost unbroken wilds, to
teach them the way of Nalvation.
Without furl her deiails at this
poin/, Jesse Boring was sen/ his
fiist year, as Junior Preacher,
with Win. J. Parks, as senior, to a
circuit or mission, extending from
iho Appalachee river, to Grove
river, in Madison county, embrac
rng a Targe territory, requiring
four weeks to make the round.
The young preacher had many
iliscouuagments the first year
Unable to read his Hymns cor
rectly, or a ebapt er iu the Uible
except with difficulty, ai.d, added
to tin i a halting, stamering
speech, it was considered by him
se/f and his friends a very poor
sturt with p_onr prospects of suo
ess.
To heighten his discouragement,
and old indescreet brother in the
church, advised him to “quit and
go home sot he would never make
a preacher,” and ho so decided and
ho laid the cane before his Benior<
Mr. Parks enoouraged him to hold
on, and wiih that keen insight in
to human cnarac/er and capabili
ties, (characteristic of him so
strickingly in his after life.) latent
as they appeared in this case, as
sured him that he could succeed,
and his advice was taken.
The next year an other field was
assigned to him, and then an
other, aud soon the latent, hidden
faculties became aroused and vit
alized and in a few years almost
at a bound, he scaled the moun
tain top and became one of the
ablest and most eloquent preach*
ers of the Conference 1 The most
important stations in the Confer
ence were assigned him. Savan
nah, Augusta, Columbus, Macon
and other city stations, and the
elite and euliivata 1 classes were
under his pastorate and always to
their gratification.
From ‘.he awkward, uneduca/ed
boy from the banks of the Sweet
Water, h became ihe most emi
nent pulpit orator of *he Confer
ence, and from the ignorant, uned
ocated young man from the back
woods of Gwinnett he became th e
scholarly and polished preacher of
whom “Listening Senates” would
be pleased.
A distingaised Presbyt eriau
Minister, years ago, in speaking of
the Itenerant System of ihe Meth
odists, rema:ked: ‘These 4 years
in the Itereraney was the best
Theological School for Pnlpit
training known to the world!” ar.d
so it was.
After the lapse of a few years
he returned on a visit to bis old
county and relatives and attended
the camp meeting at the old Camp
ground of which we write.
His fame as a great preacher
bad proceeded him, and tne two
sermons he preached on that oc
casion assured b>s old friends that
this fame was well founded and
well deserved.
Hi" text for one of these was :
Our Own Section —We Labor For Its Advancement.
LAWRENCEVILijE, GA. September 29 1885
be dislrcyed aud tnat without
remedy.”
I remember many points given
by tbe preacher in that sermon,
but to give even a brief synopsis
lof them would make this chapter
of undue length. jThe long, sol
emn, cadiverous face of the preach
er in his portraituie of an ungodly,
dying mah, who had hardened his
heart and stiffened his neck down
to his dying hour, and then, “No
Remedy for the lost Soul,’ was a
picture upon which even Angels
might look and weep! And when
that souk is engulphed in the
Hades of the damned forever, and
the anguish of that lost Soul
doomed forever to this place of
torment, and the wails of that
Soul as it cried out: “Oh, God
is there no remedy 1” stired his
hearers to the very depths.
j I rememdtr years ago to have
heard of a Sermon he preached to
the Sailors, perhaps in Savannah,
and lam tempted, to give my
recollection of it, imperfect as 1
known it will be, to show tbe ver
saliiyof bis mind, and his wonder
ful powers nf imagination. There
are few perhaps now living that
heard of it, and fewer still that
heard it.
His subject was from thePsalins:
“They th it go do to the sea iu
ships, tt at do busioess in great
waters ; these see the works of the
Lord, and his wonders iu the
deep.”
He knew many Nautical phrases
familliar to sailors which hs used
on the occasion. The Pictuae he
drew was a siorm at sea.
The step, far out open the“ileep
blue sea” encountered a s'orm—a
fearful hurrican.
The waves ran high; the gallant
vessel riding them like a thing of
life, higher they came and rolled
mountain nigh. The vessel reak
ed and rocked between the billows
which threatened to engulf the
gallant ship every moment be
neath the angry billows. “Reef
the sails !” cries the mate “Cut
away the halyards, look to the
jibbeon 1” commands the master
and all is ia dismay aud consterna
tion with the ship’s crevy at the,
impending distinction. “Tie
must’s are blown away !’’ cries the
Pilot, “the engines are submerged
and fail to work!” reports the fire
man, “She is wrecked and must
soongodowu!” says the mate,
“Look to the life boats !” shouted
tbe commander.
At this point which was so nat
ural and so fearfully graphic the
sailors involuntarily sprang to
their feet and a wild scene ensued
never before witnessed except
upon the sea in a veritable storm
of which this was a picture true
to a reality.
The appli ation will be readily
drawn by the loader.
The venerable Doctor, now an
Octogenarian, is still in active
work And though his Sun is
nearing its Western horizon, oc
casionally sends forth its beams
with as much brilancy as when at
the “high merendian” of its splen
dor and noon day glory.

In the summer ot 1840 or 41
there came to /he Camp Ground
an other great preacher, who was
a Bishop. Our people had never
seen a Bishop and were on the
q ai vive when they became inform’
ed that Bishop Andrew, of Oxford
then, had consented to come. Two
days had passed, he had not come
and much anxiel y prevailed that
something had happened to pre«
vent his coming.
On Friday evening a close car
riage wa> seen slowly wending its
way down the niil and nearing the
encampment. 1/ was during the 3
o’clock service and all eyes were
turned in ihe direction ot (he car
riage as it slowly drove into the
camps. A heavy built man dress
ed in yellow linen with a linen

braDzed face occupied the drivers

changed onr mind. Enquiring

Aud is it possible that the coach
man in the rounusaboul is the
Bishop himself ? And soon it
proved to be Soi/n he doffed his
jineu and donned bin clerical out
fit und then looked like a Bishop.
On Saturday and Sunday he
preached to an intense congrega
tion of wrap/ and spell bound
hearers. On Sunday his text was :
“And 1 saw /he dead email and
great stand before God, and the
Books were opened, etc., etc.
The effect of his seiuion was
electrical—upon the Metuodist,
and every body There were no
wild ebolucions ; no shouting of
the old fa'hers and mas/ers, bvt a
deep and heart felt power of the

Glower so peculfar to him and
who was so overpowered that he
could not contain himself.
These two sermons had more
power and uoction than any I
have heard in my day and time,
and I have heard many of the
great preachers of ail denominas
lions beforehand since.
James O. Andrew was a great
man and a great preacher, °reat
“Not like Cffisar, stained with Blood,
But only great, as I onvgood.”
So much has been said and
written of Bishop Andrew that

coming here, with the little inci
dents refered *o I will olose this
chapter and will refer to the 3rd
and 4th “Groat Preachers” in my

STRIKING IT RICH
Messrs. Plat Pros reported a
burglasy at police head quaters
yesterday morning and some theif

money, however, and when he look

It is supposed that at a time
when everybody was away from
the front of the store, one of these

the lookout concealed himself
among the feiniture in the store

HE S I'OPED CAR
The car going down French’s
hill, and there were were a few
jovial qassengers aboard. At
Pospect street a lady got out. A
yong maD, who, with a few of his
friends, were having a bit of duit
fun and had evipently enjoyed
themselves, said: “I'll b&t cigars
for the crowd that I’ll stop the
car without ringing the bell, speak
ing to the conductor or drivep or
asking any one to stop it,’’
“Oh you’ll go out skit and slap
on the orake. You’r to smart you
are,” remarked one of his compan
ions. smillit gly. “You’ll cut your
self if you dont mind.”
“No, piree, I’ll do nothing of
the kind I’ll neither touch the
brake nor ask nnv one rn torch
The bet was taken.
Up jumped the car-stopper
and seizing one of the straps, tug
ged at it as hard as be could,
The conductor saw him aud con
cluded that he was a greenhorn
who wanted to get out to get out
aud was yanking at the wrong tag
He stoped the car and ihrew open
the door.
The man had sat down again.
“Don’t you want to get out
here?” said the conductor.
“Oh, dear, no.”
“Thou why did you pull that
strap’”
“I was only trying to see if it
was s/rong enough to uold me if
I Happened to come along in the
car some nigh/ when 1 coulden’t

The door slammed, and the con
ductor said something as lie leaned
against the rear brake. It was
something not very ccmplameta
ry to such darned fooling.
But the man wen his bet. lie
had stopptd the car.—Fall River

Ai MOST P^RAYZED
“I would like to have an ads
vertisement inserted.”
This is a slogan that would
resurrect a dead man behind a
rewspaper count si, and the c|erk
turned as if moved by an electric
curret, and ejaculated:
“Yes sir; want the top of the
olumn, I suppose?’’
“No, I’m not particular," said
said the advertiser
“Went it on (he inside, noar the
leading editorial?”
“Either page will answer,” re
plied the other.
:‘\Vanf a cut of death’s head
aud mrrow bones or a sore leg to
make iu attractive, or the proirai/
of advertiser, wit long hair and a
turned down shirt collar’”
“Clear type, black ink bl 1 white
paper are good euough for me,”
was the response.
“All right: want head line in
type an inch longer than Jenkins’
ad. in next column, or will you
have it put in upside down cryour
name in crooked letters, like foks
ed lightning all over it?”
“No, a plaiu, straightforward
advertisement in the space of fonr
inches will answer my purpose.
“Good enong. Want about ten
inches notice free, don’t you? Fam
ily liis/ory; how your grandfather
blacked Washington’s boots once
mention of yourself as emulating
library; church, fire compsny, co*>

other important positions?’’
The customer said lie did not
care fo> auy nation.
“Of corse,” said the clerk, “yon
want a fiee coppy sent to each
member so the fiittn; one for your
self’ and the privilige of taking
half a dozen copies oil the counter
every week for the next ye»r or
two, because yon advertised?’’
7’he gem lonian expected to pay
for his paper, aud asked the price
of his adveriiseiueut.
The delighted clerk figued up,
and then asked:
“If wo send the bill around in
a bout a year you can tell ibepov
when to cail again ernt you?”
“No I’ll pay you now,” said the
other taking out a roll of of bills,
“The uews paper mans eyes
biudged as he said:
“Ah! you wan/ to ask for 75 per

off for cash? - '
“I am willing to pay a fair price
for value oecievcd. Tall me year

A beuurifiic smile spread over
the wan face of clerk as he mur
mured;

THE BEST FEED FOR HOGS
The pest feed for weaned yong
pigs is potatoes boiled sud mashed
in the water in which they are
boiled, thickened with barley meat
This is given in rensanubl qtiani -
ties and not to over feed the pigs.
A yong pig of 20 or 30 pounds
needs no more of this food than a
pound a day with a pint of scimed
milk It is al/ogethes wrong to
give the pigs so much food that
ihey cannot hold any more. This
repletion leads to indigestion and
produces staggers and paralysis of
the hind quarters; black teeth and
supposed ailments follow from the
disordered stomsch. It is ensy to
increase thd food if necessatv, bnt
not to remove the injnry done by
giving too much. As tht pig grows
fast the food needs to to be in*
creased in pro pur/ion. .The 300
pouud 0 months old pigs are nevr
overfed hut are fed jnrft ellough
and no more. 3QP -bound

MOLLIE RAM
Moollie had a little ram as black
as a rubber shoe, and everywhere
Jthat Mollie went he emigrated too
'.He went with her to chnrch one,
'lay the folks hiUarious grew to see
hill walk definitely into Deacon
Allens pew.
The worthy deacon quickly let
his angry passions igjse, and gave
it an uuahriatian kick between /he
eyes.
This landed rummy in the aisle;
the deacon fast aud raisb his foot
again; als! that was his last.
For Mi Sheep wn.led slowly back
about a rod tis said dut ere the
that deacon could retrea he stood
uim on his head
The corrugation then a rose and
went for that ere sheep* and several
well directed bnt’s jvst piled them
in a heap.
Then rushed they straightway
for the door with murmurs long
and loud, while rarnmy struck the
hind most man and shot him
through the crowd. *
Tho minister had ofter heard
that kindness .would subdue, the
tierces/ ram in ali the land, and
wished to prove it trae.
And so he kind’y, gently called.*
“O rarnmy, rarnmy, ran ; to see
the folks abuse you so, 1 truly
sorry am.’’
With kind and gentle words he
came from that tall pulpit down, x
saying • “Easy, Mr. Rarnmy,'
you’re the nicest sheep in town.”
The ram then dropped his hums
ble air, and rose from off'his feet,
and soon the parson landed be
neath the hindmost seat,
As he shot out the loor, and
closed it with a slam, he named a
California town—a think 'twas
Yuba Dam.
Several months ago a respecta
ble old gentleman died a/ Athens,
leaving the deeds and papers rela<
ing to the house in which he was liv
ing in a bareau drawer of the room
in which he died. Shortly after
his death it was discovered that
the papers had been .aken from
the drawer, and the mosUhorongh
search failed to reveal the papers
or the theif. As the dead had
been recorded, and could oonse
quently be of no valno to the thief,
