acres of good and valuable land, which is finely improved and in a high
state of cultivation.  He is prudently turning his attention largely to
the growth of the grasses, thereby maintaining and improving the fertility
of his already productive farm.  He is enterprising, energetic and public
spirited.  He is an honored member of the Masonic fraternity, a Baptist
and a Democrat.
