SMITH retired from the firm of Smith & Newman, leaving E. P. NEWMAN in entire control of the Royal Market. Yesterday A. C. BRANNEN disposed of the Roanoke Ten Cent Store, Walter F. REDMOND being the purchaser. S. C. FAUSETT had previously purchased Mr. REDMOND’s interest in the grocery business of Redmond Bros. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 13 January 1915, p.1] ---------------------------- ROANOKE A GOOD MARKET ---------------------------- “A Farmer’s Wife,” writing in the LaGrange [Georgia] Graphic, says among other things: “I have seen our farmers haul their cotton to Roanoke from right here in LaGrange and get big pay for their teams in the difference in the price.” Roanoke is known far and wide as a fine cotton market. It pays to sell cotton and buy goods in a town like this. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 27 January 1915, p.1] ---------------------------- LOCAL NEWS AND COMMENT ---------------------------- Mrs. W. J. PARTRIDGE has rented the Commercial hotel and has come to take personal charge. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 27 January 1915, p.5] ---------------------------- FIRE IN WADLEY DAMAGES STORE ---------------------------- Feb. 8.—The store of R. B. KILLGORE was burglarized Sunday night, Jan. 31st. The thief took clothing, hats and shoes. Early Friday morning the store of Radney & Co. was found to be on fire, burning very slowly in the millinery department. The house was full of smoke with no escape until the doors were opened. This prevented the total loss of house and goods. The damage will be but a few hundred dollars, which is covered by insurance. Since the above occurrences the town council has put on a night marshal. The meanest man in the world is the cowardly one who shoots you in the dark or burns up your property. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 10 February 1915, p.1] ---------------------------- IMPORTANT SHOP NOTICE ---------------------------- This is to notify the public that the firm of Tucker & Son has played out and that the old man will play out unless somebody comes to his relief. Now all parties idebted [sic] to the said firm will do the old man a great favor by coming forward and settling their accounts, as he is very much in need just now. Come and bring money, corn, meat, syrup, broom straw, soft soap or wood. Come, everybody and let’s have a settlement. If you can’t pay all come and bring me your note and your work. You help me and I will help you. I have decided, under the stress just now and scarcity of money, to shoe your stock all around and furnish shoes for 60 cents cash; you furnish shoes, 40 cents; set your tires up to 1 1-2 for $1.00; cut your spindles for $1.00. Guarantee all work. Now, those who read this ad, please tell your neighbor. 17-2 A. E. TUCKER [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 24 March 1915, p.8] ---------------------------- NOTICE ---------------------------- The partnership of J. P. McGill & Company, of Wadley, a partnership composed of J. P. McGILL and J. A. YARBROUGH, has been dissolved by mutual consent. 1t J. P. McGILL J. A. YARBROUGH [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 24 March 1915, p.8] ---------------------------- NEWS OF WADLEY ---------------------------- March 29.—Several young ladies from Wadley went shopping at Talladega [Talladega County] Saturday. These parties would have gone to Roanoke to trade, but could not on account of the schedule of the A. B. & A. [Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic] railroad. Roanoke and LaGrange [Georgia] should assist us to get a better schedule from Wadley, and we would trade with them. [Wadley is only about twelve miles from Roanoke, whereas Talladega is four times that distance from Wadley. Yet, it was more convenient to take the train to Talladega (presumably a morning run out and an evening run back) because the train schedule to Roanoke wasn’t convenient for a one-day outing—and the thought of a grueling twenty-plus mile roundtrip wagon ride to Roanoke did much to sap the shopping spirit.] [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 31 March 1915, p.?] ---------------------------- W. H. BRITTAIN TO BUILD AN EXTENSION TO STORE ---------------------------- Last week The Leader summarized a large amount of building that had been done in Roanoke since the financial demoralization set in, as well as the building that is now in progress. But while that made an excellent showing it did not by any means close the chapter, as indicated by The Leader at the time in predicting continued growth. This week we have the pleasure of reporting that Mr. W. H. BRITTAIN is putting material on the ground to build an extension of forty feet to his main store—the grocery. The house is thirty feet wide. This improvement will afford much additional floor room besides an ample basement— but BRITTAIN needs it all. Mr. BRITTAIN began business here some fifteen years ago in a rented house. He now conducts three large and successful businesses, two of them in houses owned by himself, one of which is soon to be made 140 feet long. Continuous hustling and advertising tells the tale. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 7 April 1915, p.1] ---------------------------- IMPROVEMENTS AT CHERO-COLA PLANT ---------------------------- Last Friday [16 April 1915] the enterprising proprietors of the Roanoke Chero-Cola Company installed a new model bottle-washing machine, which is propelled by electricity. The machine has a capacity of about 500 bottles per hour. But its strongest point is not in the increased amount of work that can be done by it, but in the thoroughness of the process. The bottles first pass through a heated potash solution, remaining therein ten minutes; they then pass through clear water, and later are brushed by a bristle brush and then sprayed by a rinsing device. The Chero-Cola people have pushed their business to the front till they have built up a fine trade, and can now boast of one of the best equipped plants in East Alabama or West Georgia. The Leader is pleased to note their progress. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 21 April 1915, p.1] ---------------------------- CHESTNUT STREET FORGING AHEAD ---------------------------- The good work goes on. Roanoke continues her remarkable career of progress and improvement. This time it is the substantial firm of McMurray & Huey that is evidencing its confidence in this good town and preparing for the prosperous era that is already headed this way. Messrs. McMURRAY & HUEY will tear down their present brick structure, as the walls are not considered safe. It is 29 1-2 feet wide and 90 feet long. There is a 6-foot alley in the rear. The building will be extended across this alley and then turned at right angles and be extended to Chestnut Street, opposite The Leader building, a distance of 66 1-2 feet. This extension will be 25 feet wide. This will afford two fronts—one on Main and one on Chestnut Sts. Both will be modern, having plate glass show windows. Another beauty about it will be the lowering of the front entrance to the grade of the postoffice [sic] floor. This, however, leaves the old MANLEY building [an] eye-sore and fire-trap more awkward and unsightly than ever. The work is scheduled to begin before long, and will be done by day labor. It will afford employment to a large number of men and teams. Another business development of note is the renting of the first floor of the Masonic Temple, on Chestnut Street, by Mr. W. K. OWENS, who is at present with Messrs. McMURRAY & HUEY. In this large, new room he will open a business next September first to be known as the Roanoke Produce and Commission Company. He will do a jobbing business and will work the surrounding points. Roanoke’s freight rates and shipping facilities make this a good point for such enterprises. Next spring Mr. OWENS proposes to put in a cold storage plant. This concern will also be prepared to handle produce of local farmers in bulk. Mr. OWENS is a clever gentleman and a good business man. He ought to succeed. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 28 April 1915, p.1] ---------------------------- MANLEY CORNER LOT IS PURCHASED BY THE FIRM OF M’MURRAY & HUEY ---------------------------- The news is better. Last week The Leader reported that Messrs. McMURRAY & HUEY would tear away their present brick store building and erect a modern structure in its stead and would also build a new brick store in connection at right angles, fronting on Chestnut Street. Friday, however, Messrs. McMURRAY & HUEY succeeded in closing a trade with the executors of the David MANLEY estate for the purchase of what is known as the MANLEY corner, adjoining their present place of business. This lot is 36 by 102 feet. The price paid for it was $3750, which is nearly $105 per front foot. This makes a fine showing for Roanoke real estate values. However, the lot in question is a most desirable piece of property and is especially valuable to the new owners. This purchase has caused a change in the plans of McMURRAY & HUEY. They will rebuild their present store, as previously planned, and will also build two additional stores along side of it, fronting on Main Street. The space will be divided into three equal lots, making each store 22 by 110 feet. This extension of the length of the stores will prevent the building of the store in the rear to front on Chestnut Street, but an alley eleven feet wide will be reserved. The old wooden building that stood on the MANLEY corner, which was one of the town’s most prominent land-marks, was sold to Mr. B. J. MITCHUM, who will use the lumber to rebuild the barn he recently lost by fire. He in turn sold to Mr. J. Z. COLLIER the shingles off of the roof for $10. Monday morning [3 May 1915] Mr. MITCHUM and several helpers began tearing down the old frame, which sent up clouds of dust from time to time. The lumber in the house was found to be generally sound. At the same time “Uncle Joe” WOOD, the old colored shoe-maker[,] began removing his shack, on the same lot, where he had pegged shoes for the past 16 years. He will carry the lumber to his home place. In the meantime he has moved into the little frame house next door to the Chinese laundry. The passing of these old dangerous, unsightly houses and the erection of modern stores in their stead marks one of the most decided improvements among the many that have been noted in the continuous development of the town. A whole-some sign is the fact that the promoters of this improvement had numerous applications to rent the two extra rooms as soon as their trade and plans became known. REDMOND & FAUSETT secured the corner building. The trade has not yet been chosen on the other. Monday the stock of goods of McMURRAY & HUEY was moved into the Masonic Building. Tuesday morning workmen began tearing down the old brick house just vacated by the above named firm. Mr. ZOBEL has the contract for superintending the building. J. W. COLLIER will do the brick and concrete work. ---------- [There is a photograph of Mr. W. H. McMURRAY in conjunction with the above article] [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 5 May 1915, p.1] ---------------------------- NOTICE TO ICE CONSUMERS ---------------------------- Ice tickets are on sale at the office of the Roanoke Guano Company. Delivery on these tickets will begin Saturday, May 1st. It is our purposed [sic] to render prompt service. The wagons will start out early every week day and will continue till everybody holding tickets is served. Saturdays two rounds will be made – one in the forenoon and one in the afternoon. It would be well for all regular or occasional users of ice to supply themselves with tickets now, thus securing better service. Roanoke Guano Co., Reuben KYLE. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 5 May 1915, p.8] ---------------------------- THE MARBLE WORKS SOLD. ---------------------------- Saturday [8 May 1915] the Roanoke Marble Works plant was sold by Sheriff ROBERTSON under an order from the court. R. J. HOOTON bid it in at $1650. Mr. HOOTON announces that the business will be reopened under the management of A. J. LANGLEY. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 12 May 1915, p.1] ---------------------------- WARE RENTS BONNER HOUSE ---------------------------- Mr. N. M. WARE has rented the Bonner house formerly conducted as the Commercial Hotel. He and Mrs. WARE will cater to the local and traveling public. The house has been put in order and the WAREs will move in at once. Mrs. PARTRIDGE, who vacates, has gone to Atlanta. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 12 May 1915, p.1] ---------------------------- TO LOCATE IN ROANOKE ---------------------------- After June 15th Mr. J. A. ROWE, from Alpine, Ala., will be located at Roanoke as Salesman and Collector for the Singer Sewing Machine Co. Mr. LOWE expects to become a permanent resident of Roanoke. He will patronize the school, the business houses, etc., and will be in every way a worthy acquisition to the town. We know Mr. ROWE to be a reliable business man, well capacitated to serve our trade in the Roanoke territory, and feel that our interests and those of our customers will be well looked after by him. We also commend Mr. ROWE and his family as worthy of the confidence and esteem of all good people. Respectfully, Singer Sewing Machine Co. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 2 June 1915, p.1] ---------------------------- LOCAL NEWS AND COMMENT ---------------------------- Cutting down the water oaks in front of the old Bank of Roanoke building has greatly changed appearances on that side of town. The trees were removed by Mr. CAUTHEN to make way for the removal of his telephone exchange to the bank building later in the summer. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 9 June 1915, p.5] ---------------------------- A BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL ---------------------------- Monday afternoon [28 June 1915] the two stores east of the Handley Hotel building, belonging to the estate of the late R. L. [Robert Lee] SCHUESSLER, were sold at public outcry. Though the buildings are old and inadequate, the property brought the handsome price of $9,200. It was bid in by Major SCHUESSLER. Immediately afterwards the west room was rented to Wm. WEINSTEIN for a period of five years. W. F. REDMOND has the other store rented. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 30 June 1915, p.1] ---------------------------- CITY WATER FOR LOWELL ---------------------------- The municipality of Roanoke has made arrangements with the Handley Manufacturing Company to supply the residents of Lowell with city water for drinking purposes. Electric lights are gradually being furnished to houses in that section. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 7 July 1915, p.1] ---------- Lowell was the mill village of the Handley Manufacturing Company that was later annexed by Roanoke. ---------------------------- TO IMPROVE STORE FRONTS ---------------------------- Messrs. RADNEY began Monday the work of modernizing the fronts of the stores occupied by J. P. RADNEY & Bro. and by the W. T. TENNANT Co. Steel beams are being worked into the walls and plate glass and press brick will be employed, making quite a change for the better. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 28 July 1915, p.1] ---------------------------- THE WHITE STAR MARKET ---------------------------- Is permanently located at the STRIPLIN old stand, on the hill, between the Methodist and Baptist churches, the most sanitary place for a market in Roanoke, being a safe distance from stables and like places where the pesky fly lives and flourishes. It is our aim to supply you the best and purest meats the market can afford. 16 ounces make a pound, and one price to all. The White Star Market. M. N. WARE, Mgr. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 29 September 1915, p.1] ---------------------------- THE SIX CYLINDER CAR ---------------------------- How many cylinders make a car satisfactory? This seems to be the most talked of question with the inexperienced buyer, and the manufacturer of necessity is building cars according to his ideas of what his trade wants. The Oakland Motor Company, represented in Montgomery by the Abraham Bros. Motor Car Co., has broken all rules by building a “Six” at a lower price than their Four. This “Six” selling at less than $800, is a splendid, well built, roomy car which had 30,000 miles of test over the mountain roads of Pennsylvania before it was placed on the market. -[Originally published in the] Montgomery Advertiser. The Oakland, represented in this territory [Roanoke] by W. Y. CHEWNING, is being tried out over the hills of Randolph and Chambers [counties] with great success. It has no equal as a hill climber. Adv.[ertisement] [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 29 September 1915, p.1] ---------------------------- MR. KYLE SELLING CARS ---------------------------- Mr. Reuben KYLE, of Roanoke, the popular representative for Studebaker cars in Troup and surrounding counties, was a visitor to LaGrange Monday. He states that he is selling Studebakers faster than he can make his deliveries. He went to Atlanta Wednesday and will bring three cars back. He has recently sold two seven-passenger, four-cylinder cars, one to Mrs. Mary E. WHITE, of Columbus [Georgia], and one to Mr. Gid WHEELER, of Roanoke. Mr. Pick HIGGINS, of Roanoke, and Mr. Warren Williams, of Phoenix [sic] City, have joined the Studebaker band with new seven-passenger, six-cylinder cars and Mr. Horace LANIER, of West Point [Georgia], has just purchased a new three passenger, six-cylinder roadster. [Originally published in the]—LaGrange Reporter. Adv.[ertisement] [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 29 September 1915, p.1] ---------------------------- NEWS OF WEDOWEE ---------------------------- Sept. 27.—Mr. R. V. PERRY is remodeling his old store, converting it into a blacksmith shop, and erecting a new store just north of the shop. Dr. J. T. BURNS has completed a new dental office just north [of] A. L. KENT & Co. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 29 September 1915, p.1] ---------------------------- A NOTABLE IMPROVEMENT ---------------------------- Messrs. GRIFFIN & SATTERWHITE have been making some very decided improvements on their store and hotel buildings. In the latter the stairway has been changed so as to come down to the level of the side-walk as now graded. Next spring the owners intend to lower the floor of the hardware store down to this same level, which will be quite a great change for the better. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 6 October 1915, p.1] ---------------------------- CHANGE IN GROCERY FIRM ---------------------------- Mr. Ben F. REDMOND has purchased the interest of Mr. Sam C. FAUSETT in the grocery business of REDMOND & FAUSETT, which will now be conducted in the name of B. F. REDMOND. This is one of Roanoke’s most flourishing concerns, and The Leader wishes Mr. REDMOND all the success he so justly merits. He has one of the nicest groceries in the country, and is attentive and obliging to the trade. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 20 October 1915, p.1] ---------------------------- THE BALTIMORE STORE ---------------------------- Last week The Leader carried a full page advertisement of the fall opening of the Baltimore Store, which is also in this week’s paper, and the response by the trading public, according to the Messrs. SALIBA, was most gratifying. The Baltimore Store is one of the most progressive stores in this section, Dr. G. M. SALIBA and Mr. Sam SALIBA combining their efforts toward giving at all times such merchandise and service as will meet the approval of the trading public. They handle one of the most extensive lines of shoes to be found in this section, including leading lines in ladies’ novelty boots and shoes and dressy shoes and footwear for men and boys. Their stock of ready-made wearing apparel for women is also a feature, and their custom of selling goods for cash enables them to offer close prices on everything. We recommend that you read their advertising from time to time and keep yourself posted on their doings. They always instruct their clerks to give like treatment to all comers, so you need not hesitate to call any time. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 20 October 1915, p.1] ---------------------------- WEDOWEE NEWS ---------------------------- Oct. 18.—Mr. Shelly PRESCOTT is remodeling his store just above A. L. KENT & Co.’s, which adds to the appearance of the northern side of town.

GRADY, president of the Merchants and Farmers Bank, has purchased of W. F. REDMOND the Roanoke Ten Cent Store. The deal was negotiated by the Roanoke Realty Company. Monday morning the work of taking stock began, and the new management is now in charge. This business has been running only since the war began [August 1914], but has proved to be a success, even under adverse conditions. Mr. REDMOND retires to devote his time to farming and cattle raising. His successor is a young man of character and energy. The Leader predicts he will make good in charge of this popular place. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 10 November 1915, p.1] ---------------------------- IMPROVEMENTS BY ROCK MILLS PLANT ---------------------------- Rock Mills, Nov. 8.—The Wehadkee Yarn Mill has purchased an extra large boiler and water wheel.

B. & A. R. R. [Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic Railroad], just west of the river bridge, to WOOD & SIMPSON’s farm on [the] Tallapoosa river some twelve miles south of Wadley. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 10 November 1915, p.1] ---------------------------- DREAMLAND IS NAME NOW ---------------------------- H. J. CARWYLE has given up the Strand moving picture show in this city. Grover S. GLADNEY has come into possession and has changed the name of the place to “Dreamland.” He proposes to conduct it on strictly up-to-date lines and to show only first-class pictures. The Leader wishes the new management success in its plans. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 1 December 1915, p.1] ---------------------------- NO BANK FOR CRAGFORD [near the Randolph County line] ---------------------------- Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 17.—Cragford cannot have a bank. Alex E. WALKER, State Superintendent of Banks, has decided that the little Clay county town is not large enough to warrant the operation of a financial institution and has denied the application of several citizens of Cragford. Mr. WALKER made his decision after an investigation of conditions surrounding the town and of the needs for a bank. He reached the conclusion that there will not be enough business and that there is no real demand and use for a bank. This is the first time the Superintendent of Banks has refused a certificate since the new banking law became operative. [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 22 December 1915, p.1] ---------------------------- BANKRUPT NOTICE ---------------------------- In the District Court of the United States for the Eastern Division of the Middle District of Alabama.
