In 1826 evert ellizenof I'ikeeoutity felt

Hie court Iiuiikp, a grand structure in
thoae days, adorned one of the prettiest
»|jot« in Georgia. Zebulon was tlie on
ly village and R-aviiesviRe a mere hamlet;
hence, “news front tho court” was ns
leaven to the bread of life, and all mat
ter! of lntcre!t. centered in Zebulon.
Those were the good old days alien
wheat bronchia dollar a bushel and
grew in abundance. Oat* were plentiful
and atood at fifty cents, w bile corn, liter*
was no end of It, mid it.brought a dollar
a bushel every time. As for potatoes,
they were plentiful, and if a neighbor
wanted them for seed or for the table he
was told, “Go help yonrsell." The cat
tle thrived on range*. The Indiana were
back over Flint.river and they kept the
land just tolerably well burned, and the
ferns would grow so tender like, and
tho cattle would I/rowsc in the cane

there were hundreds of acres along the
creeks anil branches, and then the steer*

Augusta. Those were high old time*
aud tho drivers and tho farmers would
have their sprees, but whisky was the
“rale Maekie.” A fight or two would
'liven things, hut “the man who drew a
weapon was a coward."
Tho first circuit Judge presiding at
Zelmton was Judge Ely (S. Shorter, who
died lately in Alabama. Jfe was a man
of deep research and his renderings
showed good logic and unbiased judge
ment. Judge Shorter is well letnem
hered in Putnam county as ho was mar
r'ed at Eatonton.
Pike county’s first, sheriff was Willis
Whatly, who made a first-class officer as
far as lie was called upon, as there were
no crime* in those days, and as for sui
cide*, a coroner’s office « t.n not worth a
picayune.
Zobulon was on the square as it is
now and had sonic right smart %tore».
In 1826 Hon. John Neal, who died two
year* ago at Atlanta, hail a general
stock. The building occupied tho site
now occupied by Harper it Maker, and
t4fi clurk was our present esteemed
Judge Wiley K. Maugham. On tho op
posite corner at tho residence of Sheriff
IVm. Howard, Hugh O. Johnson bad t
dry goods store and was clerk of
superior court and court of ordinary
until 1840. On the vacant lot adjoining
tho Ballard House a building devoted to
dry goods was presided over by Dwight
Woodbury, a nbrthorn man, who became
a partner in the Neal interests.
Allan McCleudou who died here, had
a store on ihe south-east corner at the
square and Mandeville’s was on tho east
aide. Mandoville is I understand a hale
aud hearty citizen of Carroll county.
All those place* were busy and the an

around tho Smithy made every day look
like a fair.
The Zebulon House was builtjhy Louis
Daniel in 18211, and the building still
stands oprn with “accommodations for
man and beast." The broad and lofty
chambers are as of yore and show “the

Rlisb tV. Wells, a northern gentleman,
was the pedagogue for ten consecutive
years, and then after that. Of impress
ive appearance and a strict disciplinarian
he had but little need for the rod. His
son the Rev. Harry Wells is now ordinary
of this county.
The first preceptress of tlie girls I get
any definite account of was Mrs. D. l’rca
ton a uoblo lady who taught in the -id's
and retired to her northern home. The
same acadmy used by Mis. Preston is
now occupied by Prof, and JIUses Mer

OLP FOItl) PLACE,
one of the most hiatoiicat places in Pike
county, which is located two miles
south-east of Zebulon. In December,
182U, William Ford located there and
every child of his, seven in number,
were born there and he died there when
eighty four years of age.
The Ford place encompasses 165 acres
of which 75 are cultivated and thereon
are grown nearly everything in the cereal
and vegetable kingdom. 'The old-fash
ioned home built lifty years ago is ample
and inviting aud is surrounded by a con
gregate of buildings, large and small.
There is Hie tannery with thirty-three
vats manufacturing u j*pcr, sole and the
best of barites* leathers which arc ship
ped to Macon and utilized by the Ford
harness factory at Zobubm. Then tho
store houses and bark sheds, the stables,
barns, grain and cotton houses attached,
while the Ford homo and tenant bouses
make a semi-village.
Joseph W. Ford, the present proprie
tor w as born in 1833, and he thinks he
began work when he was born ami has
worked ever since. He was only about
six* month* at school yet he Las been a
diligent student and besides being a
thorough y practical tanner and currrU-r
ho is a general leather manufacturer of
a high order and a business man of abil
ity with the highest element* of gentle
manhood combined, lie comes Jrotn a
leather race, as Ids father, grand-father,
and groat-grand father were all tanners.
Tho subject of this sketch 1ms always
been enterprising and has employed at
one time fifteen men, and always had i! ©
reputation of paying th© highlit wages
given to his own detriment. Besides the
tannery lio manufactured ghov* exten

over the country. II t« hat nos* factory
is now quit© busy and if he has not ac

that his public spirit has overshadowed

The Georgia farmer is a great institu
tion. Ho has been the subject of much
criticism both favorable and adverse;
hut the following from the CedarUntn
Guardian coir.cs nearer doing him justice
than anything we have seen on the sub
ject:
No in.iil-cj.ifl warrior of the middle ages. n f ,
plumed cavalier of the palmy days of English
aristocracy stood superior to the Georgia farmer
It i» a good thing to have bten a Georgia fanner,
lie is a man whose wealth and integrity are the
foundations on which rise tho lofty fabric of
prosperity which makes the Empire State a
hand and shoulders above all her neighbors.
As a soldier the Georgia farmer baa written
his name in blazing letters on the highest i age
of the world’* history. As ft statesman he has
shown himself the peer of any man and otiimcs
the superior of those who boasted of superior
advantages of education and training. As a
man be furnishes the finest model to be found
in the construction of material of w hich great
nations are made.
A quarter of a century ago the Georgia farmer
came staggering homeward, bearing on his
weary shoulders the burden of defeat, disaster
and despair. Poverty held out her gaunt hands
to welcome him to his desolated home. All
seemed l<«d, irretrievable ruin spread out on
every hand from the mountains Jo the sea. But
the soldier who had faeed musket,saber and the
black-throated cannon while under the influence
Of that manly patriotism that nerves men to
great deeds was no less a soldier when he came
face to face with a less chivalrous foe in the sol
itinU«iof the fields and wood w ith no flag? and
banners afloat In the air, and none of the pomp
and pageant of glorious war to lire him up.
Tho soldier of war became the hero of peace.
He set out to conquer or die, and he is alive
today and conqueror. Many things have con
spired against him. He has had to pay two or
three prices for the necessaries of life and has
had to do without the luxuries entirely.
lie has been oppressed by the cold-hearted
monopolists, the ignominious camp followers of
the same armies that laid this country waste.
Hut he has couie out victorious, and he is lie
gluing to get where he can enjoy the sooila.
True to the old instincts or Independence he
has used piue straw matting, white oak splits,
pine boards, ducking, guano sacks and other
material, rather than to submit to the tyranny
of bagging trust. This same spirit caused the
fair women of Georgia to weave their own
dresses and plait their own hats twenty-five
years ago.
You cannot down the Georgia farmer. He ia
not of th© sort that is to lie easily downed.
That is why Georgia i# the best governed state
in tho union. If a man i» not capable he cannot
hold hi# position. There is two much good ma
t'-rinl from which to select the men who are to
i uV, and the Georgia tamer i* too good a «ia«,
too intelligent a man to submit tojnaisrule.
He i« too brave a man, too honest a man, too
manly a man to submit to oppression and ty
runny, no matter in what guise they may
pear.
Take him all in all, there i# no finer specimen
of manhood on earth, never ha# been nor never
will be than the Georgia farmer.
