"Bradley & Pettit, Folsom, Kentucky, are closing out their entire stock of goods for the purpose of quitting business, and in order to make a quick job of it are offering their entire stock of general merchandise at cost or under cost. The stock comprises one of the best assortments of up-to-date general merchandise to be found anywhere, consisting of dry goods, notions, men's and boys' clothing, hats and caps, furniture, hardware, queensware, groceries, wagons, etc. Also, good saw mill, all complete, in first class running order, for sale very cheap. Bradley & Pettit, Folsom, Kentucky." from the Warsaw Independent, May 6, 1905.

C. W. Renaker, the cashier of the Peoples Deposit Bank [of Glencoe] and A. L. Ward, the clever postmaster, while trying to cross Brush Creek Sunday night after the hard rain, got in very deep water, and the horse became frightened and turned the buggy over and broke two wheels to pieces. Fortunately, neither of the men were hurt. They had been to the sanctified meeting near Folsom. It is a question whether they lost their sanctification or not during the accident." from the Warsaw Independent, September 15, 1906
