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 andfirm of the slightest importance in the city. The county towns have a similar department in these pages which will likewise prove interest- ing- v 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 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 " ir,iluLtr^'-'t"~V H ....| I -- 128 ) obtained in time. The following are the pre- o(beers and pastor : Rov> T. P. Cleveland, pas- tor. Elders, Dr, R. E. Green; Dr. II. .1. Long; Col. J. B. Estes. Deacons, J. T. Telford, O. M. Dobbs. Treasurer, J. T.

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 Brown, assistant, 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. COUNTRY CHURCHES.

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 3 , ... ,n : -. K 1.38 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, Mayor; J. T. Sepp, Marshal; Wiley Light, J. L. Pirkle, H. M. Williams, W. D. Hawkins, J. F. Kendrick, Aldermen. BUSINESS INTEREST.
