Mis father was a prosperous far mer who resided thora until 188(1, when he removed to Toxas, and settled near Jclforsnn, where ho still lives. Tho sub ject of this sketch spent '??8 boyhood days on his father's farm and attended tim schools of his native county until ho entered tho North Georgia Agricultural College, at Dahlonega, (la., in January, 188-1. Ho attended this widely known institution of literary and military train ing for two and one-half years. His col lege carool' though brief, was quito suc cessful. Ho took a high aland in all his studies ami distinguished himself as a debater. Tho faculty soon discovered his Illness for military tactics, and ap pointed him 1st Lieutenant, of Company A. Ho was twico chosen as champion debater hy his literary society. In August, 1880, ho cunio to Toxan to accept Hie position of Principal of Blum Instituto, Blum, Toxas.

Ho was soon niter grained license by tho Stato Supremo Corni, and the federal District and Cir cuit Courts. Waco could thou, as well as now, boast of ono of tho strongest bars in tho Slate, but ho located hero for the activo practico, ll is evident that no mistake was made, for he soon hogan to enjoy a good practico, which has steadily increased in volume and import ance. While this bar has moro than ono hundred practicing attorneys, ho is justly regarded as ono among its very hrigh(cst young lawyers. He has con lined himself principally to tho civil practice, and has conducted with success several causes of much moro than ordi nary importance. His career may bo re garded as a comparatively quiet ono, as lu has never entered tho political arena on his own account. His attention has been divided between his oflicoand court room practice. As a counsellor ho is sato ami conservative, and in giving ad vice to his clients he is honest, consci entious and sincere. His conduct is mai ked hy a st rict integrity, and his hearing in both professional and private life is that of a cultured Christian gentle man. At the ago of eighteen years ho joined tho Missionary Baptist church of which ho is still a member. Tho inllu cnee of a devoted Christian mother has been potent in shaping his conduct and inakim; his career one of stainless honor. His future is bright with promise.
