VPgPIIEN the idea of a Directory was first
t
I
'
\ broached, its need was questioned by many, be-
ing regarded more in the light of a luxury ; but
as the work progressed its general utility began
to be understood and appreciated, and its com-
pleteness is, in a largo measure, due to this lib-
eral spirit. No pains on the part of the Pub-
lislier has been spared to bring the work up to
' tho standard ; and while it is possible a few
I minor inaccuracies may have crept in, they are
of small import, and do not detract from the
\ value of the work as a book of reference,
k ^ Especial pains have been taken in the com-
pilation of the business interests of the city, a
I
the reader will be enabled to see at a glance
entire trade of the city, as well as its growt:
the past ten years ; its present prosperity, ...
l its promising future,

'The county was organized in 1818, and the
first court held in 1821, at Esquire A. J, Dav-
is place, about one mile from the present'Bite of
the court house. Nothing seems to have trans-
pired at this term worthy of especial remem-
branct.. The county affairs were then, and for
many years afterwards looked after by five Jus-
tices, selected from different sections of the
county, whose duties were to audit and examine
bills, look after the roads, school interests, in
fact they constituted the entire government? of
the county, and had almost unlimited' power.
For doing all this, they were content with the
approbation of their constituents and honor of
their i ffice as pay, which goes to show that the
civilization of that day was rather crude as com-
pared with the* pre sent age.

er place not romomberod now. Tho result was
in favor of Gainesville, and a court house erect-
ed in 1833, This was accidcntlj destroyed in
1851 by Are. The present building was erected
in 1852, and is said to lack the convenience of
the former one.
In the formation of the town, about tho year
1822, Col, Stephen Reed donated fifty acres of
land to the town, reserving certain lots for him-
self, and thus a beginning was made. The
growth of the town was compavitively slow, the
county being new, and its rough surface not
very inviting to immigration, and a great deal
of tho emmigration that had been attracted here,
was caused by the discovery of gold in 1829,
the news of which spread rapidly, bringing many
adventurers with some, of the better class of pio-
neers. The former of these soon made trouble
by getting on Indian territory, and committing
outrages, forcing the government to send troops
here to preserve order and prevent intrusion on
the reservation. In this they were about as
successful as at present in the far west. Parties
were constantly slipping over the line and caus-
ing fresh troubles, until poor Lo was removed
without his consent to tho west, there soon to
'encounter the *ame troubles, .After thi the
gold excitement having greatly subsided, atten-
tion was turned to agriculture. The rich allu-
vial bottoms of Little River, Chattahoechie, Wa-
hoo and Oconee Rivers, whose beautiful clear
waters flowed through the county, besides num
berless creeks and lesser streams, were found to

be uncqaalcd anywhere in the world, and at
such an altitude above (die sea that sickness was
almost unknown. From this time the growth
and development )vas steady and permanent, fill-
ing up with Sturdy pionenra not afraid of work,
inspired,with the determination to build for
themselves a home, Practically the music of
the woodsmans axe was heard in the land.
Substantial farms, producing the riche* of the
riche* of the earth dotted the faco of the county
in every direct ion, cotton, corn, wheat oat*,
potatoes,, grasses, .(nbacco, fruits, in fact' every
tiling indigenius to the temperate zone grew in
th greatest abundance. The people were con-
tented. and happy, *
Gold mining was carried on all the time, hut
only in'a. small way, the excitement on the Pa-
cific slope having drawn attention thither. Af-
ter the war however, capitalists began to,cxamine
t,lic mine al resources of the country, and now
Ilall county has several noted goldmines in sue-,
cessful operation, and many more being develop-
ed, mostly by foreign capital.

The close of the war, found Gainesville a smalj
isolated village of three <>" four hundred inhabts
tints. Its history previous to. the war was
with the exception of. the, fire' in 1851, which
consumed three sides of the square, unevent-
ful, The citizens pursued the even tenor of
thciF-way, far from the maddening world,
103
content with n hack line three times a week to
Augusta, the then ractroi/Mis of the state, and .
from which point nil, or at least the bulk of sup-
plies came. Later hacks were run to Atlanta.
This used also ta be the favorite stopping place
for Kentucky mule drovers on their way further
south, and the Findley spring" was known by
them as Mule Camp.
The railroad which reached here in 1871 put
new life into the town, completely changing; the
old order of things, a general shaking up of dry
bones, as it were. The beauty and healthiness
of the location coupled with its. advantages as a
business point, soon became noised abroad, at-
tracting people of energy and means from all por-
tions of the country, bringing up property and in-
fusing new life into everything. Buildings of all
kinds reared their forms as if by magic. Tho-
writer himself, while on a visit some ten years
ago, saw fine buildings finished and being built
on strcetstvliich wore yet either full of stumps or
actually in the woods. The mining interests be
gan to bo prosecuted with renewed vigor, and
capital in luge amounts began to flow in
from this cause, greatly stimulating
the old residents, many of whom had be-
come impoverished by the war. and were dispiri-
ted as regarded the future of the country. It also
poured golden fruit in the lap of the new city, for
such it had become.in this brief space oftime.in
fact so short thht it was the favorite pastime of
the wicentires to compare its growth with the
mushroom, and predict,ail early crash with,same
rapid5ty of its building. The monetary panic
,vhicli swept over the country in 1873 like a deso-
HgigttgHttjigi

104
lating simoon, c :ked its orogrcss somewhat,
but ohly temporarilly. Since, although its
growth has not been so rapid, it has been steady.
Tn;o disastrous fires occurred during this time,
one in 1873 and the last in 1876, in which heavy
losses were sustained, but enterprise on replac-
ed the burned district with even more substan-
tial buildings than before.
The summer resorts near the city have, and do
yearly attract hundreds of visitors from the ma
laria of the lower countries, -who contribute their
portion as well as enliven by their presence the
Magic City of the Mountains, and receive in re-
turn tor their sojourn in pure air, Uoe of the re-
storing waters, beautiful and romantic scenery, a
return to perfect health,going lie; ' singing our
praises, to return and bring others with them on
the return of the next summers heat.
The city shows by actual computation, a popu- "
lation of sometlng over three thousand souls, not
taking into consideration the large floating pop-
ulation usually found around cities of this class
and size. The o tlook far the future is brighter
now than ever before. Substantial business
buildings and fine residences, which would do
credit to cities of larger pretensions arc being
erected in all portions of the city, and the want
of house room is daily being more felt. The sub-
ject of a new court house is being agitated, which
will undoubtedly result in the erection of a tem-
ple of justice worthy in every way of the good
name which the county and city bears.
As a cotton market the city stands way up,
about eight thousand bales being shipped annu-
ally. 'This largo amount comes too Irom asce-
105
tion not strictly a cotton country, large amount*
of other product being raised sufficient forjiomc
consumption and to spare.
Among the public institutions of the present,
none are more worthy of wention than the
Gainesville Fire Department, volunteer, compos-
ed of the leading citizens of the city, having an
improved hand engine and all the pharaplianalia
for fighting the fire fiend. This was organized
in 1878, but with the exception of a slight brush
or two, tney have yet to receive their baptism
in fire. They are however, in good trim *nd
will be on hand when wanted.
' The colleges have done much towards making
the city what it is, for education and enterprise
to succeed must go hand in hand. Thp city
boasts of three such institutions, sketches of
which will be found elsewhere. All of them have
started in the present sessions with increased at-
tention, and more general interest manifested by
the public at large, which points to this city, in
the near future, as becoming noted for its educa-
tional facilities.
The present railroad enterprises of the
city are inspiring the citizens with new zeal. The
Gainesville, Jefferson and Southern, Djhlonega,
narrow guage roads, and the proposed standard
guage road to Dalton, will open up a,-new and
hitherto an almost inaccessible region, rich in
the precious metals, aad a fair farming region
which naturally look to this city for its base of
supplies and outlet to the world beyond. Work
is being actively pushed on the former two, and
preparations for work on the latter.
Following this will be found separate sketches

IOC
of the schools, churches, institutions of every
kind, with a complete business rssume of the
city. Nothing has been overdrawn In any res-
pect, and will prove interesting as well as a relia
ble guide to those seeking information in regard
to the citj', a s it contains every name, profession

A GROWING AND IMPORTANT INDUSTRYTUB
TANNBRRY OF WOOD k RUDOLPH
Few visitors to our thriving city take time to
inquire, or even think of doing so amid the gen-
eral rush of business, after this most important
branch of trade. Most of of people seem to
think that the north or east is the only place
where leather can be made, the idea never oc-
_ curring to them that all the requisites are ob-
tainable at home in the greatest abundance, and
in much better condition. A look at the tan-
nery of these gentlemen ' will, however, unde-
ceive as well as astonish them. The business
was established in 1878, and is located about
one mile and a quarter from the public plaza,
leading out Oak street in a westwardly direc-
tion. So situated that the purest running free-
stone water is obtainable in the greatost abund-
ance, a purt of which is utilized as motive power
for a mill on the premises. Sole, Harness and
Upper leathers are the principal products, and
for them sale is readily obtained in all parts of
the state, preference being given these goods
WM W-.l Ml W11'
107
over any other in tho market. The superior
quality of the leather is produced in a largo de-
gree by the use of freestone water, which tougli-
and renders more pliable. Tho raw stock is ob-
tained mostly at home, while the bark all comes
from this and adjoining counties. Taking it all
in all, it is one of tho most important enterpris-
es by two of tho most energetic gentlemen in
this section of the state.
C. J. IIADAWAY,
Harness and Saddle mak er, commenced here
August 1882. He is a capable and energetic
workman, and is fast building up a good trade.
He is fully prepared to promptly meet any and
alljdemands that may bo made upon him.
j. w. WOODING,
The well-known contracting carpenter, has
been identified with tho city since 1870 His
standing as a workman is attested by many
handsome structures scattered throughout the
city, some of which are simply elegant and re-
flect much credit on both him and their owners.
mdonalds celebrated roof paintW. JAY
mdonadd, patentee and proprietor.
In these days of patents, humbugs without
number, it is a pleasure now and then to find
one possessing all tho merits claimed for it. But
when that article is invented by a home man,
the pleasure is doubled. There is so many roof-
ing paints, all claiming wonderful merits and so
many falling short, that when Mr. McDonalds


1

&
108
came out but little attention was paid to it.
The proof of the pudding is the eating there*
of and so it was in this case. When it was
show: that as a preserver of roofs it stood line-
quale< and was absolutely fire proof, putting out
sparks and coals at onco without injury, it began
to bo appreciated commensurato with its merits.
The writer ha3 himself witnessed the hardest
test that could be applied, a blaze, which only
had the effect to slightly soften, but did not run
off or crack when dry. We unhesitatingly pro-
nounce it the most useful invention of the age.
OAINK8VILLK STREET RAILROADDR. ROBERT E.
GREEN, PROPRIETOR.
When the idea of a street railroad was first
suggested, it was looked upon by many as vis-
ionary, but the time had arrived, and
during 1874 the enterprise was completed f:om
the public square to the Depot, a distance of a
little over a halt a mile. It provod to be a
magnificent success from the start, especially
for carrying .eight. In this its cheapness
done away with drays. In 1877 an extension
of about one mile and a quarter wsi built out
Green street to Gower Springs, which greatly
added to its general usefulness. Other improve-
ments will bo made as the growth of the city
requires.
A NOTABLE INDUSTRYTHE SHOE FACTORY OF
SHELLY & DUSKIN, KST. FEB. 1881-
To the average stranger who,, in common with
109
iftot{8 TSOpi aijl p9}cl0D01! 9A1MJ S.IOt[10 ,{uT!W
for the masses could only be made in the cost,
where labor is cheap and split leather has its
home, a shoe factory is indeed a novelty. As
toits success, it is simply the old story of any
enterprise which is headed by energetic men.
From its inception, the businoss increased, the
only trouble being at times the want of skilled
labor. At present they are running to the full
extent of their factory, with constantly increas-
ing orders, which shows, while putting up a su-
perior class of goods, they are successfully com-
peting with eastern prices- The factory is in
every way a credit to its proprietors and the city
in which it is located.
THE ARLINGTON HOTEL. W. M. FRENCH, PROPK
It is not only a mater of astonishment to the
old inhabitant, but to the stranger on getting
out of the street car, to find himself confronted
with such a magnificent hostlery, it is astound-
ing, He has heard much of the thrift of
Gainesvdle, but this far exceeds expectations.
This house was completed this year (1882), and
is probably one of the finest structures in North
east Georgia. Is built, in modern style, large
rooms well vcntillaUd, and elegantly furnished.
A faultless eusine, a corps of attentive servants,
all superintended by one of the best hotel men
in the country, make the Arlington a favorite
with all classes of the traveling public.

adds greatly to the beauty and durability of tho brick.
Tho factory has a capacity of 20,000 brick per day, and

METHODIST COLLEGE, CHARTERED AIRIL 1, 1881.
On the 27th day of December, 1880, the Kev. C. B. La-
ITnttc bought the house and grounds known as the old
Baptist Church property, and announced his intention of
having it chartered under a Board of Directors as the
The Methodist College. The application was made,and the
charter granted on the 1st day of April 1881, the school <\J
had already been opened on the 17th of January #
The following well-known gentlemen compose the Board
of Trustees: J. B. M. Winburn, TI103. A. Daniel, Win. i
B. Clements, Wm. P. Smith, John A. Smith, A. M. Parks, -
Win. Wood, A. T. Wood; Kev. C. B, Ballade, president.
The course of studies embrace all taught in similar in^ -
stitutions, This year the buildings have been greatly en-
larged and furnished with modern school furniture, apa- ;
rattus, etc., making it the equal in every respect to any in
Btitution in the land. Added to all these advantages
its cheapness and the healthiness of the location, thor-
oughness of instruction may be-mentioned. Takingitall
together, none have brighter prospects for the future, cs- ,,
pecially as this city is already attracting the attention of |
the people of the soutli to it as an educational center.
THE GAINESVILL COLLEGEMALE AND FEMALE. f
This institution was founded in 1874. Was built by the :I
city and cost in the nighborbood ot $10,000.. The money -1
was raised by issuing bonds, which were readily disposed 1
12G
fat their par value. The college wag to be governed by
a Hoard ofTrustccs, appointed by the city, and the first
Hoard thus appointed were, Hon. G. 1). Rice, Col. .J. E*

Brown, Cols, A. 1). Candler and -J. B. Estes, 'ihey met
in the fall of that y-ar and selected a faculty with Prof
G. C Looney 11s president. Thin gentleman- resigned
October 0, 1875, and the Rev. W. C. N\ ilkes was elected
in his stead. In 1877 a new Hoard was elected, composed
of Col. J. E. Redwine, J. B. M. Wiuburn, Hr. H. S Brad-
ley, Col. C. C Sanders, Dr. R. E. Green, J. R.Boone and

elected lor 1882, The institution was chartered August
23,-1882. The present fall term opened most auspicously,
Jjhe number of students being larger than ever before,
with bright prospects for the future.
THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Its Establishment and Progress.
The rtetes at hand or obtainable, of the forma-
tion of this church, and the incidents whicn go
toward the making of a history are brief, and the
writer has had coHfidcrable'troulde in even ob-
i
si
'
taining those 'which arc now placed before the
reader.
The church was first established and a house
worship built in 1825; and was tho pioneer of
all other denominations. Nothing further of its 1
history is known by its present members, fur-
ther than it did not Beem to thrive for some
reason, and sometime after its establishment, it
became disorganized and the building was re.
moved to a point called Concord, a distance of
ten inihs from here, and a churcli established
there, brom this time up to 1866 the town
was without a church of this denomination.
During this year, Mnj, Jno- E Caldwell, now
dead, and who with his wife, were interred near
the church door as a special mark of love, head
cd a move toward the re-establishment of the
church. Many difficulties were in the way.
The congregation was small, and the money and
social affairs consequent upon the closing of the
war were to be contended with. But by the
most indomitable will and perseverence of the
gentleman above alluded to, the object was ac-
complished. The Episcopalian church building,
built bv a Mr. Hall, afterward murdered inBra-
zij by ime of his slaves, was purchased as a house ,
of worship, and is the one now used.
Nothing further of especial interest remains
to be told with the exception that its member-
ship has steadily , inert ased from that time. It
was intended to give the names ol the pastors
from the beginning, bus the names could not be

GAINESVILLE BAPTIST CHURCH.
Of the organization of this Church, or of the
names of all the Presbytery who composed its
organization, vre have no correct data. But one
of the numberMr John Williamsan eld
and worthy citizen of the countynow lives,
the others have long since paid the debt ot
nature. Suffice it to say, however, it was con-
stituted at a very early period of the countrys
history, shortly after the red man was driven
from the soil of Hall county, and wts known
as Shiloh Church to 1845, and is therefore,
considered one of the pioneer churches of this
section. Its first house of worshipa wooden
structurewas built in 1840, and among its
roll of members we find many influential men,
not only of Gainesville, but of the State, dur-
ing that time. From 1840 to' 1870 it had
its sunshine and shadow, common to nearly
every country church. During the latter year,
however, when the railroad infused life and
energy into ou' population and civilization, its
membershin determined, owing to the rapidly
129 _______
growing oongrcgation, to erect a more extensive
building. Accordingly the work was begun,
and after many years of embarrassment, brought
about by financial trouble, the building was
finished, every cent of the work paid for, and
to-day it has tho finest house of worship, not
only in Gainesville, but in Northeast Georgia,
It is a monument to the brethren who so zeal-
ously labored for it. Tho following arc the
names of its pastors, and years in which they
served, as far as we have been able to ascertain :
Elder B T Smith, from 1842 to 1843; Elder
A Anthony, from 1843 to 1844; Elder Asa
Chandler, from 1845 ; Elder A M Spalding,
from 1845 to 1849; Elder R E Oliver, from
1849 to 1851; Elder W P Reed, from 1851 to
1852 ; Elder D Hutchins, from 1853 to 1855;
Elder S Roberts, from 1855 to 1856 ; Elder W
C Smith, from 1856 to 1864; Elder S E
Reeves, from 1864 to 1870; Elder IV T
Thornton, from 1870 to 1875; Elder W C
Wilkes, from 1875 to 1880; Elder Marshall
was elected at tho close of Rev W C AYilkes
term, and is now its pastor.
The officers of the church arc as follows:
R Palmour, R B Adair, M D Hudson and A
M Jackson, Deacons; R Palmour, Treasurer,
and Prof. J T" Wilson, Clerk.
Tho stated meetings of the church are preach-
ing twice each Sabbath, and'prayer meeting and
Conference every Thursday night. In addition
to these, there i* attached to the ohurch, a large

V

and flourishing Sunday school which meets
every Sabbath morning at 9 oclock, Rev W
C Wilkes is Suporintendant and Mr W A

THE METHODIST CHURCH
Was organized with a few members in 1833
in the Presbyterian Church building, that being
the only one in the town, and used when not
occupied by the Presbyterians by all the denom-
inations. In the formation ot' the town the
county had donated a lot, to each denominat
tion, but the congregations were too weak a*
yet to build. Mr E M Johnson was the firss
Methodist here and only one at the the time of
his location, and can be properly regarded as
the father of the church here. At the com-
pletion of the new court house in 1834, the old
ono was offorod for sale. When the day of sale
came, Mr Johnson stated publicly that he
wanted to buy it for the Methodist Church, and
offered $150.' No one -would bid against him
and tho treasurer refused to let it go at that
price. It was again advertised and on sale day
Mr Johnson was on hand again, offering the
same bid and no one bidding against him, After
considerable higgling on the part of the officers
it was finally knocked off to him at $150. It
was soon moved to their lot, remodeled and
occupied as the first house of worship, and from
this beginning a membership of about iOO has
,
_______________ J31___________
grown. It was rebuilt in 1874 in modem style,
and is noir one of the ornaments of the city,
while Mr Johnson still lives to sec the effect of
his great work.
The Episcopalians as yet have no history as
there is quite a number of that faith here,
an organized church in this city although
Efforts aro being made however, which will
soon culminate in the building of a handsome
church edifice. Money is already in hand for
the purpose, and would have been used before
this but some trouble was experienced in getting
a suitable location. As soon as this end is
attained ground will be broken immediately
and the work pushed to completion rapidly.
The Northern Methodist Church has a small
congregation and" a pastor but no house of
worship. Some efforts-are being made to erect
one.
The colored Baptist and Methodist churches
are both in a prosperous condition taking into
consideration the number of their population,
which is very small for a city of this size.

FLOWERY BRANCH.
What an Energetic Little Town Can Do.
Flowery Branch one of the prettiest and
most energetic towns between Gainesville and
Atlanta, is located on the Richmond and Dan-
ville Air-Line Railroad*ninc miles from the
former. The town was first laid out or rather
incorporated in September 1874, although thre
was quite a village between that date and the
btiding of the railroad some two years prior.
It was favored from the first with having a fair
location for attracting trade from quite a dis-
tance, and in having live and energetic business
men to push business. This at once gave the
place a reputation for thrift and fairness, two
very necessary attributes to success of every
kind. At present it stands at the head of
shipping points, shipping the astonishing amount
of 7,000 bales of cotton annually for the last
few years besides a large amount of country
produce of various kinds. The number of
inhabitants now at a low estimate is 500 with
an excellent school, Baptist and Methodist
churchd, Sunday schools, Masonic and Odd
Fellow societies and every evidence of social
culture and refinement^ In December 1881, a
distructive fire occurred which swept off a large
portion of the town, but with their usual energy
tjie losers went almost immediate at work again

rebuilding and now the burnt district is almost
rebuilt again, with better buildings than those
burned. Jackson, Gwinnette, Forsythe, Daw-
Son and Lumpkin counties makes this a ship-
ping point, consequently a large trade is
obtainod from these counties. More improve-
ments in the way of opening streets, erecting
new buildings etc., is being done now than at
any time previously in its history. The follow-
ing are the present officers: J. P, Canning,
