This is the old T.W. Tison Grocery in Doles, Ga., in rural Worth County. Stores like this used to dot rural landscapes but many, as highlighted by Brian Brown in VanishingSouthGeorgia.com, are wasting away and closed.
Worth County, which is located between Albany and Tifton in the central part of South Georgia, is home to Peter Pan Peanut Butter. Every jar made is produced in the county seat, Sylvester. The county had about 21,300 people in 2013, according to the Census with whites representing 68.7 percent and blacks being 29.6 percent. Some 22 percent of people live below poverty levels, according to Census figures.
