After parting ways with Charley Hawthorne at the Horntown Store, T. C. Horne built a new facility across the road to the south. Subsequently, he moved his store 1 mile south to the NE corner of Hwy 75 and Moss School Road intersection. There the garage included a general store, auto parts and repair, tourist cabins and ice storage. |
