This general store is built in the same style as the one pictured in the next post, located on the other end of Oak Street.

According to Hubert Bowman: The Jones store was my Great grandfather’s. I was born there in 1960 and lived in my Grandfathers house next door. My Grandfather Hubert Jones ran the store and was a very famous butcher. He aged beef and people would drive for miles to get his beef. The store sold tractor parts, pharmacy items and food. I lived with my mom and Grandparents until I was 2 when my father returned from Japan. The Jones General store was the hub of the community and voting booths were used there during elections. Saw Lester Maddox governor of Georgia give a speech on the front porch of the store. After Granddaddy died my aunt who was the postmaster moved the post office into it from across town. Lots of memories in that store. Every summer when school was out I would go to stay with my Grandparents for three months. I sat around the benches around the potbelly stove and listened to all the farmers talk.

Thanks to Keith McLendon for first identifying it as the post office, noting it was open until about 15-10 years ago.
