First automobile bought by a Jeffersonian: (April 15, 1909, The Jackson Herald): Dr. W. C. Smith is the first man in Jefferson to purchase an autobuggy.  Last week he purchased a Columbus autobuggy through the Kelly-Hardin Hardware Company, local agents for the company.  Dr. Smith and Mr. W. H. Pendergrass went to Atlanta for it, and it brought them from the Gate City in about six hours.  It is a very pretty machine and is considered one of the best made.
