"There is not member of the house
that is purer, better, more worthy of
confidence than is Hon. J. Nelson
Carleton. He has lived such life
that knlts the south and north closer
and binds them together in a bond of
friendship. When in the days COM
ing, God speed them, the south and
-4Lts saaath, or more proper the yankee
and the rebel are terms not known any
more. and the thought of them even
forbidden in the rush of every day life,
then will the influence of thousands of
men like Mr.. Carleton be appreciated.
Mr.. Carleton was born in New bury,
Orange County, VT, Oct. %, 1929, and
was educated at Newbury Seminary
and Wesleyan University. He came
south in 1852 and followed telegraph
ing in Chattanooga, Augusta and Will
mington. While in Wilmington he
had the honor of sending the first mes
sage over the line from Augusta to
Atlanta In 1866 he moved to Troup
County, which he now represents, and
engaged in carriage manufacturing UNI
til 1879. He taught in Montville Acad-
envy four years and then went into
steam milling ginning and carpenter
ing. He has places on the agricultur-
al, educational, public property and
appropriation committees. Mr.. Garlic
ton, like his father Dudley Carleton, is
Methodist, and in politics an old line
wing, and now dyed in the wool
democrat" ~ Atlanta, (Ga.) Journal.
