Loran Smith: Visiting Stetson

Related Topics: Hoboken, Stetson Bennett

HOBOKEN – Georgia Highway 15 passes uneventfully through this crossroads junction which is eleven miles east of Blackshear which may change its name to Bennettville, any day now, in honor of UGA quarterback Stetson Bennett.

I have made a stop here, on the way to Blackshear, because I heard that Hoboken is the “Sacred Harp Capital of the World.” For years I have passed through this junction on the way to Florida and have never paid it any attention. It was just another intersection in a pulp wooding and agribusiness community.

Back in the spring, I had lunch with Stetson at the local Circle K station which is also a restaurant and convenience store.
