Oglesbee, Charles - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

Waveland is just lousy with speedy horses, but heretofore has had no good place to let them out right. Cross Street has been a favorite show ground but the hills interfere with real speed. Now, however this defect is to be remedied. A half mile track is to be built in the spring on Chas. Oglesbee's farm east of town. An association has been formed as follows: President, John Rice; Sec Oscar Cook; Treas Sam Milligan, Jr.; Trustees Sam McNutt, Elmer Williams and Clay Reddish. This is one association that can water its stock without incurring the wrath of Roosevelt.
