Back when "Cotton was King" this place was heavily populated. Cotton demand died off and so did the area. Lots of old barns, houses, cisterns, fence rows on both sides where an old dirt road used to be, cotton working machines and implements still sitting around rusting away.....wide places in the middle of small towns 10 miles apart where they used to park the cotton trailers going into and out of the cotton gins. Some little towns of a couple hundred souls may have had 2 or 3 gins. When I moved here in '79 there were 4 dairies within a 5 mile radius.....today none.
Today nothing but the wide open space in these little towns. Some had 3 or 4 banks. Now if there is one it's only because it's a branch of a larger site. A lot of little towns still have post offices but they aren't bricks and mortar any longer.....trailer houses! Times change. Un-official Marine motto: Adapt, Improvise, Overcome, (Clint Eastwood movie sitting on the steps of a building they cleared in the battle to get the college kids off of Granada Island). Folks did just that. Quit farming, moved to town, got an 8-5 job, solid pay check and sold the land to X-city slickers like me who were tired of all that urban hoopla and wanted some peace and quiet. I wasn't a Marine but I use their slogan daily.
