a r PIONEER.

Ills Chat About the Early Days and the De-
yeiopment OF a Southern City.
As the legend goes the first railroad
ticket ever issued to Atlanta was 10
William McGaughey. who now lives IN
Red Clay. and is now in his eighty
ninth year. The story is an interesting
one. He had represented Murray
County in the Legislature. after having
served several years as it, Sheriff. and
walked TO and from Milledgeville, then
the capital OF the State. Returning
home he refused TO offer for reelection.
and went into the trading business, and
shortly afterwnrd went to Augusta with
a load Of hogs to market. On the way
there three of the hogs dropped out Of
the car and were killed. The company
adjusted the loss by offering him n free
pass back TO what was then Marthas-
vile. In issuing the pass the officer in
charge remarked that 1.-THE question of
a change of name had been debated
long enough, and-he proposed TO issue
the pass to Atlanta which name had
been practically settled on by the com
pany. This was done, and Mr.. Me-
Gaughey made the first ride on a ticket
issued TO Atlanta.
Uncle Billy as he is known, is
wonderfully well preserved for one Of
his years. of Herculean frame, and
stands over six feet. He says he re-
members well the time when he trav-
clcd the country road. which is now
Whitehall street, and saw the first
house built here. when il stood solitary
and alone. nestled i'm n forest of oaks.

passed since | enjoyed the pleasures
which they carried with them. | have
watched Atlanta's progress from the
time its first house was built, and when

ence, its growth really seems miracu-
lous. Why, | remember hat the finest
huckleberry patch | ever saw grew on
the ground whore the Kimball now
stands, and near by was a spring at
which many "a time have stopped and
camped for the night, or for a noon
rest as | travelled to Augusta or Mil
ledgeville."
At that time North Georgia was
thickly populated 10y the Indians, the
section between the Marietta and
North Georgia Railroad. toward the
Alabama line. being th'ckly settled
with the C~herokees. MANY a time"
said Uncle Billy, ''have l attcndedtheir
councils, which were sometimes at the
old council grounds. now known A.
Red Clay, or at what is now Ball
Ground, in Cherokee County. | then
traded with them. Two of the most
noted Cherokee chicfs of that time"
he continued, ''were Sleeping Rabbit

well known among the white people
of the State. '-Atldnta (Ga.) CoHsttu-

mans, 10 Is a Gact hat there is no breed
in France called by that name by the
French people; tho name, Norman,
therefore, is purely American. The
principal breeds of France are known
as Percherons and B~oullanais. The
Perchcrons are the most highly priced OF
all French races, and oil departments
of France go to the Porche for stations
to improve their local breeds. The
P%ercheron stud book of France, pub
lished nflder The d~uthOritg of the French
G~oUernmcnt, is the only stud book of
draft horses that is or cUer has been pub
lished in France, and now contains the
pedigrces of about 5000 animals. But
some importers are offering certificates
from France Of Norman draft horses
that may mislead people who do not
understand the French language into
believing these records of origin. Not
N of them issued contains a pedigree.
They are furnished Mt the request of
American buyers by the secretary OF
one of the French Agricultural socie-
ties, who says there is no intention of
publishing them in stud book form, as
they have no pedigrecs and are of no
value whatever. lie is Il well known
fact that what a man gives for a horse
over from $500 to SS00-the price of a
good grade-is paid for purity Of blood;
and where the seller is not able to give
tho recorded pedigree of the animal
sold as evidence of additional value, he
has no right to ask it. With these facts
before him, no intelligent man will buy
a horse imported from France unless
he is recorded with his pedigree in fulI
in the Percheron Stud Book Of France,
