2 Out of the hills of Habersham, Down the valleys of Hall, 1 hurry amain to reach the plain, Run the rapid and leap the fall, Split at the rock and together again, Accept my bed or narrow or wide, And flee from folly on every side With a lover's pain to attain the plain Far from the hills of Habersham, Far from the valleys of Hall. All down the hills of Habersham, All through the valleys of Hall, The rushes cried ablkle, abide, The willful waterweeds held me thrall, The laving laurel turned my tide, The ferns and the fondling grass salkl STAY, The dewberry dipped for to work delay, And the little reeds sighed abide, abide Here in the hills of Habersham, Here in the valleys of Hall. High o'er the hills of Habersham, Veiling the valleys of Hall, The hickory told me manifold Fair tales of shade, the poplar tall Wrought me her shadowy self to hold, The chestnut, the oak, the walnut, the pine, Overleaning, with flickering meaning and sign Said, pass not, so cold, these manifold Deep shades of the hills of Habersham, These glades in the valleys of Hall. And oft in the hills of Habersham, And oft in the valleys of Hall, The white quartz shone, and the smooth brook-stone Did bar me of passage with friendly brawl, And many a luminous jewel lone -Crystals clear or a-cloud with mist, Ruby, garnet and amethyst- Made lures with the lights of streaming stone, ln the clefts of the hills of Habersham, In the beds of the valleys of Hall. But, oh, not the hills of Habersham, And oh, not the valleys of Hall Avail: I am fain for to water the plain. Downward the voices of duty call- Downwarrl, to toil and be mixed with the main, The dry fields burn, and the mills are to turn, And a myriad flowers mortally yearn, And the lordly main from beyond the plain Calls o,er the hills of Habersham, Calls through the valleys of Hall.

For 100 years riverboats stopped at Co- lumbus and during this time 200 boats plied the river. Also connecting our city with the nation were telegraphs first sent from here on August 23, 1847 and railroads built in 1853. The first telephone was present on April 21, 1880. In 1827 plans were begun for the Eagle Factory and in 1834 Mr. James Shrivers built a small textile factory three miles north of Columbus. It was known as Clappas Factory and was a popular picnic ground, but is now the location of the newly constructed Oliver Dam. ln 1841 lots were leased and the cotton mill industry truly began and will not be stopped until the switch,
