everlasting gratitude of the peo

served his constituency well and
faithfully.
In 1894 he was elected to the

laurels await him and there is
no man more capable of sustain
ing the dignity of any position
than W. J. Neel.

Thomas Warters.
The subject of this sketch was
, born in North Carolina, where
twelve years ago he went into
the tobacco business. His suc
t cess was great and he was soon
’ at the head of one of the leading
cigar factories of the state. Ap
] predating what an excellent
; opportunity was offered a first
t class factory of that kind in the
- bustling and growing city of
Rome, he, four years ago, last
January, left North Carolina and
came to this city. Rome had
had cigar factories before and
some of them succeeded in a
degree, but never did one reach
thatheighth of popularity attain
ed by Mr. Waiters and his splen
did factory. Knowing the busi
ness thoroughly from top to bot
tom lie employed none but the
best of workmen and used only
the best grades of tobacco in the
various lines of cigars which he|
manufactures. He combined
with this a business ability and
energy and a push which at once
brought him into conspicuous
notice as a citizen to be desired.
As a result no cigars made any
where has ever had the run in
Rome of those made at the fac
tory of Thomas Warters. Every
retail establishment in town,
practically, sells these cigars and
sells more of them, many times
more than all other brands in
its stock. The reason of this is
not only the desire to patronize
home industry but is further
based from the fact that the
cigars are really of a superior
kind.
Mr. Warters is personally a 1
most pleasant gentleman and 1
during his residence here has .
made friends of all with whom f
he came in contact. He believes '
in printer’s ink and having a
good thing he has not been slow ;
Ito tell it to the public. Every
body likes Tom Warters and 1
everybody likes his cigars—that <
is, everybody who smokes. His ‘
establishment has continually ,
grown in size and amount of
work done and is one of the lead- >
ing cigar factories today in the "
state of Georgia,

Mr. Stoflregen was born in j
Talladega county, Alabama, but 1
came to Rome in 1870, going
into business with his uncle. In
- -/-?
H. G. STOFFREGEN.
1878 he went into the restaurant
business for himself, and his
place, the Hill City Restaurant,
become at once widely popular.
He now conducts a restaurant
and grocery and is also agent for
the famous Christian Moerlein
beer. His business has been a
great success, due to his untir
ing energy, his close observance
of the best business rules and a ,
natural ability for such work.
Few young men can point to
such successes and his many
friends are gratified at its con
tinuance. Personally there is no
more widely popular citizen than
he. He has a great big gener
ous nature and is noted for his
loyalty to his friends. To know
Henry Stoflregen is to admire
his many fine traits of character
and to like him forthem. His
popularity has shown itself in
many wavs, he having been elec
ted assistant chief of the fire
department in 1890 and a year
ago was elected to council with
out opposition. Ile is still a
faithful and enthusiastic member
of the fire department.
