Dudley Re-Elected Head Of YNLC A By Directors
Tarry Gantt's daily column reports on local timber deals in Oglethorpe county. Tom Stanley surveys land sold to a lumber company via Com er, with an estimated timber value between $15,000 and $20,000. The Callaway place and nearby borders hold large timber belts, some owned by Charley Hodgson who plans not to sell yet. Sub railway plans may pass near the Callaway property, with a road from Stephens enabling access to a mill and shipping point. Amber industry growth fills a boll weevil gap, as virgin forests stretch toward Broad River. Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina reps met in Bryson City to spur a new road from Bryson City to Knowville, Tennessee, touted as the “Land of the Sky” highway. The route, State Route No 16, would link Jefferson, Athens, and the Florida line, making Athens a central tourist entry. Route No 15 from North Carolina to the Florida line is already a primary Georgia corridor, potentially creating multiple national highways through Athens. The Jackson Herald promotes the Jefferson–Clarke line as a premier road, with thousands of cars expected to pass through. The piece ends noting progress on the route and directs readers to page six.
