j. D., Welch, Of Birmingham,
Ala, arrived in Walhalla last week
on his way to Mountain Rest, where
he will spend some time visiting his
father, William Welch, who has been
in feeble health for some time. Mr..
Welch has been in Alabama for some
ten years, and this Is his first visit
to his old home in three years. His
friends are delighted to meet him
| again and to learn Of his success in
his adopted home, where, since his
removal from Oconee, he has been
engaged in mining. He is general
manager for one OF the large CUal
mining companies of Birmingham.
A peculiar circumstance connected
with Mr.. Welch's return was that as
he drove from Walhalla to his old
home he met gentleman coming to
Walhalla, and the latter drew rein
as their vehicles met. Mr.. Welch be-
gan to ply the gentleman coming
from toward Mountain Rest with
questions concerning his father and
then discovered that he was talking
with his brother. A change in the
manner Of wearing his beard had so
far removed all likeness to his old
self that the returning brother did
not recognize him.
