History
by Gil Hoffman:
The Barr-Holaday Lumber Company, of Greenfield,
Ohio, established a hardwood mill at Isola, MS, in August 1904.
The company was composed of W.I. Barr, of Greenfield, Ohio, B.A.
Holaday, of Isola, Miss., and D.O. Miller, of Greenfield, Ohio. The manager
of this mill was B. A. Holaday. In the summer of 1910 operations were moved
to Louise, MS. The logging railroad went by the name "Quinine Central
" but it was never incorporated.

History
by Tony Howe:
The Barr-Holaday Lumber Company moved their mill
from Isola to Louise in 1911 and built a logging railroad eastward. A
separate logging railroad was later built westward from Colby into Sharkey
County. This spur existed from 1919 to 1924.
