The Georgia Enterprise August 15, 1889
     Three years ago Lee and Juwett Callaway, of Oglethorpe County, left Emory 
College to engage in farming. Speaking of their success the Echo says: “They 
began with a twenty mule farm and have increased that number to forty. Besides 
they have established a ginnery which affords accommodation to the public as 
well as themselves. They have opened and built up a mercantile business that 
would do credit to any town. They have in operation saw-mills and keep 
constantly employed forces of carpenters building more houses and quarters for 
their hands and stock. All these industries and enterprises are under the 
immediate supervision of the two brothers. Their present crop prospect is 
without doubt the best in the county. Without any disaster they will make in 
the neighborhood of four hundred bales of cotton and as is their custom a 
superabundance of supplies of all kinds. They now have seventy large hogs 
fattening for this winter’s killing.”
