Capt. Foster Starts on His 90th Lap. On Snnday, 24th, Capt. R. G. Foster passed his 89th mile post and started toward his 90th, ap parently in as good trim as he was ten, twenty or thirty years ago. Scarcely one in tens of thous ands is so vigorous and active at nearly four-score-and-ten. Capt. Foster was born in Surry connty, Va., January 24, 1848. At that time the trend was "go west." While at a tender age his people followed the trend and he grew np beyond the Ohio. As a lad he learned the print ing business. The urge to see more of the world carried him from Maine to Texas as a journey man printer. lie has not, at all times, fol lowed the trade be learned in his youth. In the prime of life be was secretary of the Americau Legation in Spain, where he re sided for a number of years. Nearly forty years ago Capt. Foster came to make his home iu Graham, and has since resided here as editor and printer aud tilliug various posts of trust aud honor. He is esteemed by a large circle of friends and acquaint ances.

Bwtt had been slat ed for promotion, but be had to take the test. On Monday in Ra leigh he successfully passed the examination and was promoted to the highly honorable rank of Brigadier-General . When bat a lad ho joined the military company in Burlington. He began as a private and has climbed step by step. Fidelity to duty was the stepping stone. With a good record behind he was the better enabled to ascend. We cannot now follow him through the various stages o f his ascent. But when h e trouble broke out on the Mexican border about the commencement of the World war, he was sent there to get his first taste of real soldier life. He proved himself and was promoted. He had scarcely reached home when the call to tire World War came. Al ready trained, he en barked with his men for France. There he distinguished himself and other promotions followed. As Brig. Gen. both his work and respon sibilities will be augmented and place him in command of the 6Cth brigade of national guard troops in the Caroliuas, Georgia and Tennessee. It gives us pleasure to congrat ulate him. Lawrence S. Holt Dies in Statesville Hospital Lawrence S.
