A former Augustan no>v living afr Barnwell is about the most energ 'Hc and moving spirit there is in fhe town, Harry Calhoun. Of course, peo ple of Augusta are familiar with Hur ry and appreciate to some extent the energy the man can show/ but not until jme hsis gone to Barn wolf and beard the talk about Harry Calhoun can his wortn lie fully uppreciab'd. He is a live character and full cf ■‘yep. He s a hustler and largely *o him is due much of the present 'ime progress of this old •historic town, 'a town rich in memorier ond traditi-Yis, and a town rich in promise of future prosperity.
