Middle Ga. Argus – Week of March 11, 1884
We are willing to wager all the money that is due us, that we do not expect to 
collect, that Mr. J. E. Bankston, of this place, is the most energetic man in 
this county.  Often before sunrise he can be seen wending his way to the farm 
and as soon as a half dozen plows can be put under headway, he leaves them, and 
is next seen on a dray with his pants hidden about twenty inches in cow leather 
cracking his whip behind a dashing team, hauling freight for the other 
merchants.  In fact he sells dry goods and groceries, hauls fertilizers, 
lumber, clears land, plows, plants, builds houses, makes sidewalks, keeps books 
for large firm etc., all at the same time.  If Buts county was crowded with 
just such boys as Jim Bankston, she would soon bloom like the rose and flourish 
like a green bay tree.  He certainly deserved success.
