in the county that has anything like a

crop was killed by the freeze in January.
The planters went to work and planted

of the scarcity of corn in the county.

A "Reminiscences in tho Year 1867



A Baptist minister, his wife and two
children, girl and boy, the little girl be-
ing onlY2 years old, met Jeff Davis AZ the
house Of a Mr.. Martin in NOrfold, Va.
Mr.. Davis had been out Of prison at Old
Point Comfort but a short while. Alter
exchanging hearty hand shake with the
minister and his wife, he stopped to kiss
the little girl, whereupon she drew back
and ran 20 her mother. The old gentle
man made This remark:
what little Southern girl refuse 10
kiss JEFF DavisT'
After being hidden by her mother, the
little girl kissed the old soldier.
Years have passed since then, and the
little girl has grown into the estate Of
young ladyhoOd. She is we'll known in
Atlanta, and now wants 10 get the chance
TO give the old gentleman kiss No. 2.

changes that have occurred since the
close Of the war. Since that time
Friends have been scattered like roses in

From tho Wri0hts0jye GU Recorder. 3D.
Though this county is but thirty years
of age, it can look back to some of the
earliest settlers ofGeOrgia. The earliest
settlement was made about 1854 by Ma
thaniel Hicks, Sans Stanley and Willis
Wood, on 0hoopie river, about three
miles south west of Wrightsville. About
the same time Edward Outlaw, Sr., set
tied on the east side of Cedar creek, one
mile east of WrightsVille. This was then
Washington county.
These early pioneers came from Burke
county, but were originally from South
Carolina. Isl
1t seems strange to look back 100
years and see these few families en-.
tering upon the work that we have MT
vet com pleted-cOnverting bowling
savage wilderness into open fields and
gardens; for, at this time there was no
trace Of civilization here. The only
human beings were the Indians. For
protection against their maraudings the
settlers built a "blOck house." After
working all day with their muskets at
hand they would repair TO this house for
safety and rest.
Notwithstanding this means OF protec-
tion, the settlers became alarmed at the
movements of the Indians and refugeed
TO Burke county in the spring of 1854 aud
remained three weeks. When they re-
turned, they fouuo all their crops grow
ing we'll.
About same time a Mr.. Lot opened
farm lower down on the OhOOpie, and
Mr.. Pew went nearer the Oconee. But
the Indians killed one Of his sons and he
abandoned his settlement.
About the year 1900 the country began
to I'll up rapidly. Beside those already
mentioned, there were the POWels. Pull
lens, Flanders, FOrtuers, SWANS,
Wrights. Masons, Carriers, Webbs, Smells,
Meeks. Hutchinsons, Halls, Smiths. sum
ners. Kites, Tapleys, Prices, Hightowers,
Williams, Arlines, Wilson's, Raines.

In conversation with a prominent

catch one OF the birds, tie IL TO your body
and walk through the field with your gun
cooked and finger on the trigger. The
cries OF tue bird will cause others of its
tribe TO flock around you and can then be
easily shot. This method Of eXterminat-
