The Jonesboro News. 
-----------------------
This Record, Made by a Prominent Jonesboro Citizen, is no Doubt Held by no 
Other Man in the State
------------------------------
Mr. J. L. H. Waldrop, one of Clayton county's oldest and most substantial 
citizens, cast his ballot four times for Joseph E. Brown for governor of 
Georgia, and three times for his son, Joseph M. Brown, for the same office.
Mr. Waldrop is 77 years of age, having been born in Fayette county in 1836.  He 
moved to Jonesboro in 1859, and his made this his home for 54 years.
As clerk of the inferior court before the war he became identified with the 
political life of the county, and while not seeking office, and several times 
refusing to become a candidate for political honors, he has always had a strong 
influence in the affairs of the county.  He has served as a councilman and one 
term as mayor of Jonesboro, refusing to accept the office for the second term.
Mr. Waldrop has devoted the major portion of his life to farming and with the 
weight of his 77 years he looks closely after his farms and never fails to make 
good crops.  He believes in raising plenty of corn, wheat and oats, as well as 
cows and meat at home.
He is one of the county's best and most substantial citizens and a friend that 
is always true, ready and willing in the time of need.  He is respected and 
liked by all who know him.
While he has been a very active and hardworking man through his life, his age 
does not appear to weigh very heavy upon him.
May there be many more pleasant years added to his noble life.
