Talbotton On Boom Says Mr. McGehee

“Talbotton is on a boom”, said Mr. W. Neid McGehee, editor of the Talbotton New 
Era, who spent yesterday in the city.  “The Atlanta & Birmingham Railroad will 
soon be running trains into our town.  Talbotton is about halfway between 
Brunswick and Birmingham, and we are strongly in hopes that it will be made a 
terminal station, crews, engines, etc. going on and off duty at Talbotton.  
Real Estate in Talbotton is going up right along.  House rent has doubled in 
many instances.  Recently a gentleman bought a piece of land for $90.  Now he 
wants $250 for half of it.  The building of the AB&A Railroad is the biggest 
thing that ever happened for Talbotton.” – Columbus Enquirer
