Others call themselves Mechanics yet do nothing to make them so,near 2/3 of the male inhabitants of Hall County are handycrafts of some kind or other, though not professedly so, as agriculture is there greatest dependance, yet there are more real workmen, enrolled amoung the aggreculturalists than those professedly so; for from my ideas of many of the professional characters. Laziness is the cause of their profession.
