At far left, sign on building advertises Bull Durham Tobacco, a chewing and smoking tobacco. Note at right standpipe for the city water works erected ca. 1906-07. Center, background, old First National Bank five-story building is well along toward completion. Extreme right is corner of Cotton Belt Railroad tomato packing shed, from which tomatoes were shipped yearly until late 1950s when tomato business died. Corner building at left was Sam D. Goodson Hardware Co. store operated from early 1900s until 1950s.
