Co., was chosen Mayor of the town. Mr. Carmical who was in fact the founder of the growing little city of which he has been elected Mayor, is an old Coweta boy. He is the youngest child of the late Jas. Y. Carmical and was born near Moreland. His parents being old, the responsibility of looking after his father's farm fell on him when quite young. He moved to Campbell county in 1889 and continued to farm for quite awhile. In 1889 he married Miss Cora J. Westbrook, daughter of Wm. R. Westbrook, one of the most prominent farmers of Campbell county, who resided for about fifty years on the farm where Union City now stands. Mr. Carmical, seeing the great need of improved agricultural implements while farming, began in 1902 inventing and manufacturing a new line of implements which he continued to improve until he has now some of the best agricultural implements on the market, and his machines have become popular in almost every state in the cotton belt. In 1903, soon after the death of his wife's parents, Mr. Carmical purchased their old homestead, where Union City is now located. He used this as farm until 1907 at which time he succeeded in inducing the A.B. & A. railroad to locate its line through his farm at which place connection was made with the A. & W.P. railroad. Having accomplished this, he saw that he had one of the most beautiful sites for a town in the South. He soon succeeded in getting the Farmer's Union headquarters located at that place. ---- PALMETTO News Mrs. Penn of Carrollton is visiting her sister Mrs. Lou Robinson.
