Middle Ga. Argus. – Week of January 27, 1891
THE WORK COMMENCED

The Graded of the Jackson & Indian Spring Dummy Line Will be Pushed to 
Completion

On yesterday, Mr. B. F. Watkins broke the dirt on the grade of the Jackson & 
Indian Springs dummy line.  About twenty hands are at work today and by night 
one mile will be ready for the crossties.  Mr. Joe Watkins will put on several 
teams and  a number of hands tomorrow and the entire north of Windins’ mill 
will be graded by Saturday night.  Only about one mile will remain to reach the 
Wigwam.

A sawmill is being put down at Watkins Mill where the crossties and other 
needed timbers will be gotten out there as we move.

It is designed to complete the road in time for the summer travel.  We trust 
that when the Wigwam is open that the shrill of the whistle of the dummy engine 
will reverberate among the hills that McIntosh and his warriors and braves 
lived so well

Alas, a new enterprise!
