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 fluence and have proven a valuable 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 | made bv the friendly I’chee Indians. 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.

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 corn* In.

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.

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.

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.
