a. Note:   The Carroll Free Press Carrollton, Georgia Friday, June 12, 1885, page 4
  When Robert E. Hightower was ten years of age, his father, Capt. J. W.F. Hightower, said to him that if he would not take a drop of spiritousor malt liquors until he was 21 years old, he would make him a presentof a fine horse when he arrived at his majority. Robert accepted theoffer, and will keep his promise. He was 21 in April, and he said tohis father Friday morning that he would take a good buggy in place ofthe horse, and his father said: "Go into my carriage repository andselect the best buggy you can find." So Robert now has a splendid newbuggy as a reward for his worthy example. The Captain made the sameproposition to his son, Capers, and he is now 18 years old, and hasnever taken a drop of liquor. -- Thomaston Times.
