As a considerable whito popnla tion how began to. spread -over the county (although sparse) it may not be inappropriate to note the character of thelnnds, theii adap tation to agricultural purposes the general estimation ]>laced upon them by the first settlers. It was then a very J general " impres- 1 Sion, ’ and for one I am very far frora , the ,, arroganey to , ft 99 " 1 ” 11 ’? arraign the judgment of the first settlers upon the subject, as the evidence still exists, that, away from water courses, very Jit tie of the ridge lands were worth muc j 1< Any ordinary pony, good unc j er a Bfu |dle or a t drawing a . h< wag estimated to be worth !T ,ore in round dollars and cents t] lftn an y common lot of land con , • • Vai, sold were mtrvelonsly cheap, and much below the ordinary price of pony. Bill Terry, who then had little store of goods in a log cab j n near R 0 ck bridge, bought a lot land, the same whereon Thos: j.j Goddard now' lives in part, if not in whole, for a fur hat which he himself had worn one or twb The owner of this dot needed a hat and didnot want the j a ,, f j ail( j g re ntly admired the hat Bill SO gracefully wore, and a trade some little talk was finally made. Of course such a thing aV paying a man to write a deedj or a justice of the peace to wr j( e jfia name in it officialiy as^v witness was unheard of them. All was done fer accommodation, andt business nffairs glided along as smoothly as now. The same lot of land on which Jas. J. Kilgore now has a mill, was someyearsaf ter sold for $50, a price then thought to be extravagant and out 0 f reason. Yet no one pretended to doubt, ’ if the mill were removed tholandtl)onumvorn,bycultiva- , ... ,. lion and , not , denuded , , , of , its prime val forest growth would be worth intrinsically double the amount that it is to-day whether the pres¬ ent owner would be willing to ac¬ cept such an amount in consider ation of a transfer or not. There were in those days several other transfers made in consideration of mere pittances—sums much less than are now annually paid aa taxes on the same lands. A tract ,f C< "' n,r T e * t,ndi “ g - the town of Conyers now is, few miles above the present site "f *“ for thought to be so poor, the soil so thin, that if a man should settle such ... lands and , attempt ., , on to port himself and family, he would either live upon the charities of othei's or perish. An Irishman once made the remark with ref erence to these lands: “I have traveled lrom Dungarven to the Giant’s Causeway, and from Dura frier to the High lands. I have seen the Canadas and much of the lands in the Northern and South ern States and I do declare Augusta to the Chattahoochee, the lands are the poorest that ev»r * “»* ing the low estimation placed on such lands by many of the first j setlers of the country, and j strangers at the present day, are,many men at the present | realizing handsome iucomes - “-"T b T Miltivating tl>» self lands.
