Railroads stir Hawkinsville trade hopes and plans
Hawkinsville business leaders organize a new line toward Perry linking with the Central road while the Wrightsville and Tennille line contemplates from Dublin to Hawkinsville or Eastman. The Macon and Florida Air Line project accelerates. Haw kisville seeks 200 workers near Hickory Grove, Houston county, with 500 on the broader line. Savannah News notes Central railroad expansion, with branches planned from Savannah to Macon and toward Mount Vernon, Wadley, Marysville, and from Blakely to Columbia Alabama. A Talladega-Birmingham corridor edges toward Savannah via a $1 million construction firm, shortening the seaboard route by about 100 miles. The overall push reflects a strategy to feed the Central system and capture regional trade.
