A. L. CHILDERS, born near Dry Ridge, March 6, 1873, was the youngest of
four living children.  He is a son of W. H. and Lucille (Pierce)
Childers.  He obtained a common school education at Dry ridge, and 
afterward learned the carpenter's trade.  For several years he followed 
this calling, working alternately at it and the tobacco business, which 
he understood almost as well as carpentry.  He began business in the 
grocery trade in South Dry Ridge, May 1, 1900 and in June following he 
married Miss Kate Plunket, a very handsome and accomplished young lady 
of Keefer.  He continued in the grocery business until the first of the 
year, when he sold out and bought the restaurant formerly occupied by 
J. F. Mann.  His trade has increased almost daily, until now he has 
probably the largest restaurant trade of any man in the county.  In 
addition to his restaurant he handles a line of groceries, and has 
quite a fair trade in them.  He also represents a good tailoring 
company, and will make a suit of clothes as cheaply as they can be 
produced anywhere on earth.  He is the sole agent for laundry at Dry 
Ridge, and this is quite an item in his income.
