THE OLD AUGUSTA ROAD
(By Mrs. J. L. Walksr.)
The movement on the part «»f the
Savannah am! Sprintcfiehl automobile
enthusiasts to revive travel alottß the
ohl Augusta rotnl naalts a part of thv
history of that ancient highway.
The opening of this road by the
KnlsthurgerN In 1751 was n step for
ward l>y the German farmers, for good
roads ha\e ovt r bad a civilizing In

asset to thu tovs 11 and country thromrn
j which they pass.
In tbe former homes of the Salz
l tiruera. Germany, Austria and the
bf’autiful Tyrol vallev of Tafforeek.
I good roads were considered an actual
necessity.
It is little wonder that the Rev. John
i Martin Ihdalas strongly urged the
making of a public highway that
would extend from Rbener.ep to Au
gusta. The only paths that led to the
j little village were the Indian trails

who lived beyond Ehenezer creek. One
j of the bridle paths, however, was soon
widened Into a wagon road and the
people who lived beyond Kbeneaer
J took adv ant .ige of the good road and
turned th» tide of travel that wav.
The old Auguata road was UMd by the
Indians quite as much as by the whlta
settlers
In the spring ‘'August* town” was
! a great resort for the Indian traders,
j who pur based annually about 2,000
pack horse loads of sundr> articles of
merchandise.
Mr. Holsiaa' firm advanced move
m*nt toward improving: tb* road(that
led out from Kb*n#srr waa to con

th* town with a settlement called th*
Bluff on the north aide of th* creek
Th* first hi Id** built by the Bull
burger* in th*ir now horn* war con
structed over Kbenexer creek that
crossed th* August* road, This work
proved of great advantage both to the
town and adjoining neighborhood. Tl* *
bridge war used only a short time
when a Mr King, who owned a lara*
part of th» land north of Khener.er,
applied to the legislature in 1791 for
a charter to build a causeway and toll
bridge. The charter covered a period
of thirty years* hut he later sold hln
charter to the Lutheran church for
the sum of The trustee* of the
church directed that a new bridge be
built and on April '4 17ft, Kbeneaer’*
toll bridge was epen to the public.
William and Lewis Bird erected 1t at
a met of 94M With building the
bridge across the creek and the open
ing of the n«d the entire distance to
Augusta, the population of Rhenexer
increased and a magical change took
place tn the little German village
New Interest was infused into the
lives us the people, farms were cleared

many who had built (heir homes cto* l ;

plantation. Mrs. Matthew's place, the
Indian School House, Irene" and the

THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA.
In 1736 the inferior court of Effing
nam county authorized the opening of
a npblie road from Bister's Kerry on
the Savannah river by way of Spring
field on to the city of Savannah.
The people were averse to paying
toll and to avoid that expense they
turned into the new highway and a
part of the "Old Augusta" road was
almost abandoned. When the old
Toll Bridge" ceased to pay expenses
it silently passed on with the things
that used to he.
The history of many of the famous
highways in Georgia will soon be for
gotten.
We have in our state living reposi
tories in our old people, who are leav-
FARMING PROFITS THE
MAN WITH A VISION
I (From "The Business of Farming,”
by W. C. Smith, published by
Stewart and Kidd.)
If the farmer gets tlfo true vision
1 of farming and sets out to make it
n reality, he will surely find the bus
! Inees of farming a most profitable
| one. Ho w ill whip the loafing acres
of his farm into work that will make
them produce a hundred fold. The
best breeds of stock will be found
| upon bis farm, lie will install labor
i saving and pleasure giving appliances.
Farm surroundings will be made at
tractive and lie will experience ths
true joy of living.
The delights of fertile fields with
their burden of profitable produce will
|he his, prosperity will abound, and
though he may not accumulate the
large fortune, yet his business will
give him the profit that gives com
fort, happiness and necessary ease,
with the proper environments for the
right living and growth of himself
and family; and the business that
lioes this is, after all that can he said,
the best and most profitable one in
which any man can engage.

ing us daily and silently taking the
records with them.
Delays bring regrets, especially
when we seek information of by-gone
days and find the records have passed
beyond our teach.
Gather the history of our "Old
I rail" road now while the facts can
be obtained, for the old highways are
living memorials to our pioneer men
and women.
If the records are preserved, there
w ill he no better way of teaching the
history of the county in future years
than a tour over the “Old Trails”
roads of our state. This tour wil.
so« n be made ixissible by a National
highway that is sere to be built from
qeean to ocean.
COUNTRY HEALS CITY
ILLS.
tFrom the Craftsman.)
We who work in cities, who find
steady growth and continuous Joy in
our city living, need to get into the
country us often as possible for the
complete rejuvenation of those mental
and physical powers without which
our work is of little worth. Our im
aginations and courage would smother
under the continuous nervous strain
of city living unless contact was
made occasionally with the magnetic
currents of energy stored in the rush
of winds, the sweep of hill slopes, fra
grance of growing things, sparkle and
snap of clear waters. Life would
narrow to a dwarfing rut, harden to
the breaking point, shrink to a miser
able effigy of its large possibilities if
we did not look up occasionally from
Hie details of our particular life 10
the great universal work going on in
mountain, sea and sky.
Every time we look with reverent
wonder at these untrammeled great
forces, we unloose a strand of the eoril
that binds us down like slaves to the
particular existence we center in. A
walk In the woods is not a waste of
good money making time. When a
man throws himself down under the
shade of a noble tree and yields him
self to reverie, the solution of some of
his business worries comes to him.
