Local Notes from Leesburg and Americus
A windy week in Leesburg features new block foundations at Barlow Howes and iron front work on Mr. Calvin Carter's building. Miss Ids M Murphy and Luis T Murphy graduate from Wesleyan College in Macon as town stores tout soda, silver, fruit shipments, and a Knights of the Golden Star picnic. A dividend of 3.50 per share is declared by Southwestern Railroad, peaches ship to Brunswick and Jacksonville, and Blackwell’s Durham Tobacco Co plans a $11,950 cash give away. School children enjoy vacation, while tobacco revenue and local commerce shape the week's horizon.
