men, he loves to talk of tbe past
In giving us something of the
history of his life, he said when
he was a [young man A tlanta
was a poor black jack ridge,
and he frequently gathered pine
knots there and hauled them to
Decatur. He had killed fox
sqirirrels where the artesian
well now stands, and helped to
hew the logs that built the first
house in the city. “ Why, sir,
I was offered a lot of land Ilia
covers the ground where the
Kimball house now ^stands for
a fine horse I had, but being a
young man I didn’t want land
especially as poor as that was.
I owned property upon Peach¬
tree street at one time that is
now worth probably $500,000,
while my farm on tbe Chatta¬
hoochee is not worth more now
than it was the day I bought it
look around the [city now and
find men who were as poor as I
was then, hut now they count
their wealth by the hundred of
thousauds, and they made it b}’
simply holding on to their pt% >p
erty.”
