FRANKLIN COUNTY
MAN IS NOW IN HIS
NINETY-SECOND YEAR

Russelville, May 10.-(Special)--
Uncle Billy" Kimbrough, who lives in
Franklin county on Phil Campbell K.
F. d. No. l. probably has the record
and reputation of being the Oldest man
now living in Alabama who was born
and reared in the same county that
he now resides in. Mr.. Kimbrough was
born on Cedar Creek, near the place
known as the Crit Allen homestead,
about five miles south of Russellville,
on July 5, 1914, and should he live
until July 5, this year, he will have
reached his ninety-sixth year, all of
which had been spent on the hills and
in the valleys of Franklin county.
Mr.. Kimbrough has a very vivid rec
objection of the first iron furnace which
was ever erected in Alabama, il being
near Russellville, and his "reminiscences
of the olden days which he spent In
the county are realistic in nature. He
was for several. years one of the most
widely known Methodist ministers III
the county, but for the past few years
his age has caused h i'm to cease ali
active work in this line.
Despite the fact that Mr.. kimbrough
Is very hard of hearing he is yet in
good health and still talks very en-
tertainingly of his days spent in this
part of the state. Mr. Kimbrough has
been married twice and is tn father of
IL children all having died with the
exception of his oldest son, who lives
out In the western states and his
youngest daughter, Mrs. Fuller, with
W HON he makes his home and has for
several years. Mr.. Kimbrough, has al
ways had an active interest IN all of
tie affairs of the county, both POLITICAL
ly and otherwise, and stfll keeps in
formed on all subjects which can be
made of common conversation.

CONTRACTOR GIVEN
$4,000 JUDGMENT

Russellville, May Undergraduates.
A. Flush. one of the sub contractors OF
the Tally Bates Construction company
which has entered suits In the circuit
court against the Western Alabama or
Illinois Central railroad, was given a
verdict of $4,000 for work in helping
to construct the road through the
western end of this county. The con-
struction company was given large
verdict for the work a few years ago,
the railroad company carrying the case
m tho state supreme court which threw
the case out on tho grounds that the
company had failed to take out the
required state license before doing bus
mess in the state. The sub contractors
sued for $4,000 and were given this
amount with interest, which comes to
about $4,000 in all. The Illinois Cen
trail will probably carry the case to
the Alabama supreme court again.
