FIRST SUPERIOR COURT.
THE FOLLOWING is from the Macon Telegraph of April 20, 1871:
"The first session of the Superior Court in the new county of Dodge was or- ganized at Eastman, the county site, on Friday last, and continued in session Friday and Saturday. His Honor, Judge Alexander, presided. Members of the bar present were: Solicitor-General W. B. Burnett; Ex-Judge Hansell, of Thomasville; Messrs. Kibbee, Pate and Burke, of Hawkinsville; Rollin Stan- ley and Col. J. Rivers, of Dublin; Gen. Eli Warren, of Perry; McDermid, of Telfair; and A. R. Hall and Thomas Taylor, of Eastman.
"Judge Alexander's charge to the Grand Jury was excellent. He strongly enforced the laws prohibiting the carrying of deadly weapons and retailing liquors without license. The law now makes it a high misdemeanor to sell any kind of spirituous liquor until a license has first been obtained from the county authorities, and the applicant has filed a bond in the sum of $500.00 to keep an orderly house and not to sell to any intoxicated person. He must also take an oath that he will not sell liquor to a minor without the consent of his parent or guardian.
"After the court adjourned the members accompanied Mr. Eastman in a walk about the town, viewing the proposed site of the new court house and examining the plans of the structure. The court house is to be built imme- diately and presented as a donation to the county by the Hon. William E. Dodge, of New York City, for whom the county has been named. The new county of Dodge was organized by the last Legislature out of territory belong- ing to Pulaski, Telfair and Montgomery, and will be the center of a heavy lumber business."
The Grand Jurors at this first term of Dodge Superior Court were: I. W. Mitchell, H. Clark, Loyd Smith, Jno. J. Handley, J. S. Liv- ingston, George W. Walker, James M. Buchan, L. L. Hargrove, Turner Howell, S. C. Nicholson, J. W. Bowen, Daniel S. Williams, John McCranie, James J. Baker, Hugh B. Maloy, John W. Harrell, Daniel McCranie, B. H. Harrell.
Petit Jury: Y. R. Griffin, M. C. Harrell, Truman Vaughn, Joseph Graham, Samuel Evans, E. English, J. R. Tripp, Jesse Brown, Samuel Smith, Thomas Stewart, Wright Harrell, Thomas Joiner, Samuel Graham, Elbert Peacock, John Moore, Charles Rogers, Benjamin Moore, W. A. Coleman.
Bailiffs: A. G. Holt and J. T. Bohannon.
EASTMAN.
PRIOR to the year 1840 the territory comprising the site of the present city of Eastman was a vast wilderness, in which the prin- cipal growth was that of pine trees and wiregrass. At that period there were only two or three houses between the Oconee River on the east and the Ocmulgee River on the west.
During the year 1840 Billy Lee built the first house within the limits of what is now Eastman, about where the residence of the late Judge James Bishop now stands. He lived in his pioneer home here until he died and at his death the property was inherited by his son, Frank, who in turn made the place his home. The next house constructed was a three-room cottage, which until a few years ago occupied the spot where the Judge Walter M. Clements residence now stands. This cottage was built by Mr. William Pitt Eastman, for whom the city was named, and a few years ago it was moved to a location on Eastman Avenue. In the spring of 1869 Gen. Ira R. Foster built the first house which was the real beginning of the town of Eastman.
The history of Eastman is intimately associated with the lives of William Pitt Eastman and William E. Dodge, the former a native of New Hampshire, and the latter a resident of New York until the time of their coming to this section. Both these pioneer settlers arrived in the year 1870. The land comprising the present location of Eastman was first granted by the State to the Lumber City Lum- ber Company. This company in turn sold the property to the State of Indiana, but upon a decision of the United States Court that the State could not hold the property it was disposed of to a New York company. The lands soon again changed hands, being transferred to Mr. Eastman, who later sold the entire tract to Mr. Dodge, with the exception of the property located within the limits of what is now the town.
In 1872 the town of Eastman was incorporated, with Gen. Ira R. Foster as mayor, who was followed in office by Judge James Bishop, Sr. The first postmaster of the new town was Dr. J. M. Buchan, who was also the first Representative to the Legislature from Dodge County. Major C. R. Armstrong was the next postmaster. The building which housed the postoffice was located on what is now the intersection of College Street and Second Avenue, West.

EASTMAN
The first public school building, known as the Eastman Academy, was built at the point where School Street and Fifth Avenue, West, intersect, and between the homes of Mr. C. F. Coleman and Mr. J. G. Williamson. The first public school teacher was Professor Trunnell. Prior to the erection of the Academy Prof. Bates taught for a number of the citizens and was in reality the first instructor in the new town. The Academy was retained in service until the construction of the present building on College Street in 1898. Among the noted teachers who have been employed in the schools may be mentioned: Prof. George A. Harrison, later president of R. E. Lee Institute at Thomaston, Georgia; H. W. J. Ham, better known as "Snollygoster" Ham; and Dr. P. A. Jessup, father of our fellow townsman, W. L. Jessup. Dr. Jessup later became a trustee of Mercer University.
The first store of the town was owned by Isaac Herrman, and was operated in the old depot of the Macon and Brunswick railroad about 1871. Other early business enterprises were a saw mill operated by Armstrong and Foster, and a turpentine distillery owned by Hannon and Coleman. Mr. Hannon died here and was the first person to be buried in Woodlawn cemetery.
The Eastman Times, the first newspaper, was published by R. S. Burton and edited by H. W. J. Ham. McArthur and Griffin were the pioneer real estate dealers, having established a land office in the early years of the town, which business was carried on in the building situated on Fifth Avenue, East, and located near where the Methodist Church now stands, having later become the property of Dr. J. D. Herrman until its removal about fifteen years ago.
Mrs. C. R. Armstrong was proprietress of the first hotel, which stood just in the rear of what is now the grounds of the former DeLietch Hotel. The Uplands Hotel, which was built in the year 1876 by Mr. William E. Dodge, was opened by John Linsey, of New York. The building was quite a large structure, being a three-story frame structure, and was used for a number of years as a winter resort, it having been one of the first hotels for this purpose con- structed in the South.
The first brick store in Eastman was the old concrete building situated on the corner lot where the College Street Pharmacy now stands and was built by Prince DeYounk, a negro.

HISTORY OF DODGE COUNTY
In 1874 the court house was finished and presented to the county by Mr. Dodge.
There is a vast difference between the Eastman of yesterday and that of today. From its modest beginning the commercial and in- dustrial development have been steady and substantial, and in the present year, 1931, the city possesses every facility, comfort and convenience known to modern life. In civic improvements and number of beautiful public buildings no city in Georgia of similar size can boast of Eastman's record. There are situated within its confines four of the prettiest church buildings in south Georgia, representing strong memberships, comprising the Methodist, Bap- tist, Presbyterian and Christian denominations.
The Dodge County court house, one of the most magnificent temples of justice in Georgia, is located in Eastman. It is a most attractive work of architecture, contains all conveniences, and was completed in 1906 at a cost of $125,000.00.
The educational advantages of the town are unexcelled. On Col- lege Street, at a high elevation, amid attractive surroundings, are situated the main school building and annex. All comforts and proper sanitary arrangements are provided, including steam heat, electric lights, drinking fountains, gymnasiums, etc. In the main building is a splendid auditorium, fitted with every modern facility and seating about 1,200 people.
The city is provided with an abundant supply of pure artesian water, drawn by electrically driven machinery from a well 705 feet deep, and conveyed throughout the city in 55 miles of mains. The water works system is municipally owned. The sanitation of the city is well cared for by 20 miles of sewers and two disposal plants. It is truly said of Eastman that it is the best lighted town of its size in the South.
Almost all lines of commerce and industry are represented in Eastman. The city has 108 brick and concrete business houses, in- cluded in which are five cotton warehouses, handling about 22.000 bales of cotton each year, three drug stores, two banks, three meat markets, one bakery, four garages, three cafes, one tea room, a magnificent three-story brick hotel, numerous mercantile establish- ments, a beauty parlor, conducted by Mrs. L. E. Tucker, and also one operated by Cobb's barber shop.

EASTMAN
Among the industries are an ice plant of 15 tons with 40-ton storage warehouse, the Eastman Cotton Mills which are valued at $200,000.00, a fertilizer plant, the Coca-Cola Bottling Co., three grist mills, three cotton ginneries, and one newspaper, The Times Journal, which is owned and edited by C. M. Methvin, Sr. Asso- ciated with him in the operation of the paper are his two sons, Claude, Jr., and Edwin T. Methvin.
There are also two meat curing plants in the city at present, one of which is operated by the Georgia Power Co. and the other by Fred R. Bennett. Two hospitals, The Clinic, owned by Dr. J. C. Wall and Dr. B. W. Yawn, and Coleman's Sanatorium, owned by Dr. Warren A. Coleman.
Eastman is a city of attractive homes and contented residents, who are noted for their public spirit and hospitality. The people take great pride in the appearance of their city and homes and the result is a well kept municipality.
Located in the heart of Eastman is a most beautiful park, the gift of Mr. William Pitt Eastman. All kinds of evergreen and flowering shrubbery, together with native trees of maple, dogwood, etc., make it a spot of beauty the year round. In the center of this beautiful park the Woman's Club of Eastman erected a magnificent drinking fount at a cost of $3,000.00 in honor of Mr. Eastman.
Woodlawn Cemetery, on the edge of town, is also a place of beauty. The land for the cemetery was presented to the city by Mr. Eastman. It was laid off into walks and driveways, and with its. plantings of shrubbery and flowers is one of the prettiest cemeteries to be found anywhere. It is kept up by the city and presents a neat appearance every day in the year.
Among the first citizens of the new town of Eastman were: Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Arthur; Judge D. M. Roberts; Mrs. Lizzie Daniel, mother of W. B. and Moses J. W. Daniel; James Bishop, Sr .; John M. Daniel; H. J. Sapp; Col. J. F. DeLacey; Wm. Pitt Eastman; Maj. C. R. Armstrong; Dr. Harris Fisher; H. W. J. Ham, one of the first lawyers in the county; Isaac Herrman; Matthew Clark; R. F. Burch, Sr .; L. M. Peacock, Sr .; Mrs. L. M. Peacock, Sr .; Gen. Ira R. Foster; P. A. Jessup.
Later prominent citizens of Eastman, who were children when the county was created, were: Sol Herrman, Dr. J. D. Herrman, App
