James Smith, tho largest individual plnntcr In the south. The farm belonging to Col. Smith comprised 14.060 acres in one body, and bo cwned m*ny more acres in other parts of Oglethorpe and Madison counties. This one body of land embraced an area of about seven tquare mile*, his home being near the center, with only a few small intervening farms belonging to other men. Two private lines of railway, one to Dunlap on ths Georgia road and the other to Colbert on the Seaboard, connected this farm with the outside world. Around this home were an oil mill, a fertilizer factoiry, brick warehouse, a large brick ginnery, a |5,000 blacksmith shop, a *tore, and all the essentials of a thriv ing town. At the death of Col. Smith this land was cut up and Franklin gold to a number of farmer*, Mrv — . - _ . _ Dunaway buying the home place, and buildings; Immediately around Smithonia now live a number of progressive farmers like Dunaway, Taylor Estes, Norris, Lige Johnson (Turn to Page 8even.) proprietor of the Marian Hotel, aiv ^"ni^t.nd obviously sympathising with him In hi. hs- & t ‘* fou * OB . ,nd ° bV, ° U * Lost night I was driving on Oak street.
