Ed Layfield, who conducts passenger trains for a living, and Bill Johnson, who 
secretarys for the Chamber of Commerce, have allowed to prizen weed of 
jealously to spring up in a friendship which was as ideal as that of David and 
Jonathan.  It’s like this: Both gentlemen live in the same house at 874 First 
Street.  Mr. Layfield’s little daughter won a donkey and cart given as a prize 
by the Drum and Bugle Corps during the jubilee.  Now Mr. Layfield is going 
around telling that he can take the donkey and give Mr. Johnson a block start 
in his little jitney auto and pass him in three minutes.  Friends of both 
parties are doing their derndest, but the future looks dark and forbidding. – 
Macon Telegraph

Mr. Layfield is a Butler reared boy.  Isn’t it nice to see the name of one of 
our boys in the editorial column of a great daily newspaper like the Telegraph.


Additional Comments:
Note: My great-grandfather was Ed Layfield and he was reared in Taylor County, 
however I'm not certain that this is him.  He was the son of James Monroe and 
Mary Watson Layfield, however I know there were other Layfields in this area. I 
don't know if he ever lived in Macon, Ga. Please contact me if you have any 
information pertaining to this gentleman.  Thanks.
