GEORGIA News

From the Newnan Herald: Uncle Billy Hindsman, one of the first settlers of 
this county was in town the other day and called in to pay for his Herald 
another year. Mr. Hindsman came to this county from Wilkes, eight miles 
above Washington, and moved to Coweta when Newnan was in the woods and 
before the Indians had left the county for the West. He is now well on 
towards eighty years of age, is hale and hearty, was raised a farmer, plows 
every day during crop time, has gathered sixty-three crops, is not in debt a 
dime, and has twenty-three bales of cotton at home yet unsold, besides corn, 
meat and other supplies enough and to spare. He has a second wife and a 
bright intelligent son, a lad of ten or twelve years of age by his second 
wife, and judging from the pride of his boy, Uncle Billy no doubt thinks him 
a "chip" worthy of the "old block." For the information of old friends we 
will say that Mr. Hindsman lives nine miles south of Newnan and gets his 
mail at Lutherville, Meriwether county, Ga.
