His Disreputable Namesake in Atlanta's Court
In Atlanta a man known as Avertieman faced trouble when a creditor from Opelika pursued a board bill, alleging impersonation of his namesake. A lawyer was engaged, and a friend revealed the ruse involved three children sharing his name leading to a visit to a benevolent home. The tale ends with the moral that dependents suffer despite the impersonation.
