Gen. CIarlze,e bounty Lands.

From tic Washington tGd) Chroatcle.
Mr.. Eben Walton lives about Is miles
from Washington on the Elberton road,
and owns one OF the oldest places in the
county. MIR. WaltOHs place lies on both
sides OF the road, and while the land has
been IN cultivation for long time, in fact
for nearly century. he makes good
crops. and has quantity Of cotton now
piled up under his ginhouse. His pur-
pose is to live and die on this farm, which
has been in his family ever since the Rev.
dictionary war, and he studies nothing
but the best plans of i'm
proving it. He proposes now to
operate public gin for the next season.
mainly for the purpose Of getting cotton
seed TO be used as a fertilizer. Mr.. Wal
ton comes to town very seldom and is
such a. stay-at-hOme that many people
here do not know him. His house Is a
large eight-r0Om building, which was
erected about 40 years ago. on the site
where stood the old Clarke residence. At
the close OF the Revolutionary war Gen.
Elijah Clarke, who commanded the Amer
lean troops at the battle OF Kettle Greek.
and 80 disastrously defeated the British
troops, Tories, and Indians, in that
famous engagement, commanded by Gen.
B ,yd, received 10000 acres of land as a
bounty for his services from the
United States government. Mr.. Wal
toms plantation is part OF that
bounty. Some years after the close of
that long war Gen. Clarke built splendid
mansion on this land. on the site where
the Walton house now stands. The
Clarke residence was burned in 1912, and
more than half a million dollars of CONT
| mental money was lost 10 this fire. While
it had no value 1t was highly priced as a
relic. Gen. Clarke was one OF the best
revolutionary officers from the South and
displayed splendid military capacity In
his management of the battle of Kettle
creek, which was the turning point in
military operations In the South. Mr..
Walton and Mrs. Joe Wilkinson are the
great grandchildren OF this old hero, and

Repented at the Eleventh Hour.

From tee Lasnrenoecile (Ga.l Herald.
After a pTotracted sickness and much
suffering, w. H. Robinson, we'll known
citizen OF this county, died last Friday
night. The disease which carried him of
was consumption, and he struggled man
fully with this fatal disease up to the last
hour.
Mr.. Robinson was for many years
prominent citizen of Ben Smiths district,
where he gained the reputation of a very
desperate man, and was known as Devil
Bill Robinson" The only things ever
charged to his account was drinking aud
fighting. He once told the writer that he
could drink a gallon of whisky in a day
and keep on his feet.
In the olden times Bill, as he was gen.
orally called, was Wing and "know
NOthIng," while his district was over
whelmingly Democratic. But this did
not deter him from pr0claiming his senti-
ments wherever he went, and as il was
known that a fight was an aceommOda-
ton TO him. he was by common consent
allowed TO speak his mind without inter-
terence.
When the war came on, be volunteered
and made as good soldier as ever wore
the gray, and came through that terrible
struggle without a scratch.
A number OF years ago he moved TO
Lawrenceville, where be lived up to the
time of his death. While he was known
as a very wicked man, he always mani
tested respect for religion and at
tended church frequently, where
he conducted himself clrcum-
specify. Last year he professed
religion and joined the Baptist church,
aud from that time forward he was
changed man. He felt that he was rapid
ly approaching his end, and everybody
who met him felt that ne was a changed
man. He retained his mental faculties to
the last moment, and gave minute direc-
tions as to his business and where he de-
sired to be buried.
His remains were buried at old Midway
church last Sunday, where his first wife
and other Ielatives are buried.

SAVANNAH MORNING. NEWS: FRIDAY, MARCH &c, 1886.

Fr0'n TIE La,0rsaee0tHs (Ga,l Herald.

From the Lapreaeeosze tGa.) Herald.
On the train last Friday we met an aged
man whose gray beard and hair indicated
that he had long since passed the merid-
ian OF life. Looking around in the train
be inquired ii there was any residents Of
LawrenceVille on board. We confessed
that that was our home.
"Well," says the stranger, "my name
ts Cobb, and live at Cedartown. Thirty
five years ago left Lawrencevnle, and
have not been there since. l reckon there
are but few men there who were there
then"
We suggested that population changed
rapidly these days. And in answer TO his
inquiries found that in our prosperous
county town there were only a few who
would probably remember MIN.
He began to count over the list. We
found that all were gone except Jas. d.
spence, Geo. w. Ambrose, L. n. Shackle-
ford, NJ. l.. Adair, Joe Gouge and John M.
Mills. These names were all familiar TO
him.
Yes, sir, ;" he began, 81 used to clerk for
John p. Hutchins and knew everybody in
the town and surrounding country. The
worst whipping ever got was in that old
academy on the hill, and / can nearly feel
It TO this day. My sister, Mrs. Orr, Mrs.
Smith, and Mrs. Maltbie are all OF the la
dies now left TO represent the galaxy of
beautiful girls of the days when 1 was a
schoolboy IN the town.
well, sir, LawTenceVille used to be the
worst place to drink whisky and fight
ever saw. l tell you some of the mills
they used to have when Ben Smiths and
and Pinckneyville met there, beat any
prize fight. They would fight, and take Il
drink and 90 home friendly.
after gathering up few hundred dol
lars | went to Van Vert, then known as
the worst place on the State road, and |
have lived up in the garden spot of GeOr-
gta ever since. 1t was rough country
in those days, bat good place to sell
goods, and made money.
81 had little leisure time this spring,
| and concluded to come over to see the
old town and the few people left whom
l knew in the Olden times"
He landed at the depot and after look
ing around said he believed he did not
know which way to 90. There had been
such changes here he hardly knew the
place. After giving him directions we
strolled on home rejecting how rapidly
change comes. In a few short years the
men who now control public affairs pass
away and are forgotten. IL is only the
epitaph in the cemetery that records their
names and fame.

AN OLD MAN.
His Fight With the Indians-His Third
Set of Teeth-The nj sdicine he Takes.

| His Fight With the Indians--His Third
Set of Teeth-The NJ sdicine lac Takes.
From tie BauOkinsDiIle (Ga.) Dispatch.
Last Monday, at AbbeVilIe, Wilcox
county, we met Mr.. Nat Statham, who is
one of the oldest men in Georgia, and was
among the first settlers of Western GeOr-
gia when the country was Inhabited by
the Indians. Mr.. Statham was born in
Washington county, Ga, on June 20 1876.
On March 8, 1SlS-sixty-eight years ago
he was engaged in a battle with the In
dams on the west side Of the Ocmulgee
river, at point few miles below Able
! vile. The whites were under the com
mand of Capt. WilcOx, who was wOu nded,
! and was afterward carried of the battle
! ground by young Statham.
The late Col. Paine, of savannah, who
wrote for the Georgia Historical Society
some sketches of the early days OF the
State, mentioned this battle between the
whites and the Indians, and the promi-
nent part taken in it by Nat Statham.
Gen. eli Warren, Of Houston, who died
few days ago at a very old age, knew
Nat Statham in the days of mis- manhood.
Speaking of him few years ago Gen.
Warren SAID TO US that Nat Statham, in
b g younger days, was one Of the stOutest
men he ever knew, and was not afraid OF
any man in a rough and tumble knock
down fight. Over fifty years ago he saw
Nat Statham fight man at Irwinyille
and it was the hardest tight ne ever wit
messed.
Mr.. Statham will be 81 years old
June 20, next. He told us last Monday
that his memory is good, and that he is as
competent to attend TO his business as he
ever was. He has had three sets of ma
tural teeth. The second set wore out and
disappeared few years ago, and then
the third SET OF teeth came, but they only
grew, il appeared. 10 his gums; and soon
broke off, and now he is without tooth
in his head.
A few years ago "Uncle Nat" told the
editor of the Dispatch that he had never
taken dose of medicine in his life except
a drink Of whisky. Last Monday we
asked him IL he had yet taken any medi-
cine. ''NO," said he, II never take any
medicine except little whisky
The burning OF Roanoke, and the bloody
battle with the Indians on the ChattahOo-
chez are stlil fresh in the memory OF Uncle
Nat Statham.
