THE PERSONEL OF OUR NEW COUNTY
BOARD.

| THE PEkSONEL OF OOh NEW COUNTY
BOARD.
For the first time for over two de.
cades the Board of Supervisors of this
county of Grenada Is composed en-
tireiy of white men. This is the first
observation made by a thoughtful
man upon seeing the Board in ses'
sion. This fact is one that calls up a
long train of thought, and had we the
space we could dilate upon it almost
endlessly. But as we started out to
make Il short crayon sketch, with a
lead pencil, of the personel of this
Board, we will proceed to perform.
We will take them In their regular
order and begin with the representa-
tive of beat one-Sam. Laurence
that's the way he signs his name, and
paradoxical as IL may seem, while he
Is the smallest man on the Board, yet
he is the biggest, being the president
thereof. Mr.. Laurence is the junior
member of the well-known firm of
Doak 4 Laurence, Of this city, He Is
a man of scholarly y attainments, II
very close observer, fine Judge of
human nature and the pOssessor, In
an eminent degree, of that rarest of
virtues, prudence. He Is regarded as
one OF the best business men in Gren-
ada, and Is noted for having made a
success of all his undertakings. All
| in all, 1t would be hard matter to
! find man in the county better en-
dowed and equipped to preside over
this responsible body than Mr.. Sam.
Laurence. Beat two furnishes the
petfAsohfa II a. Ban r. on s. stes e5a1isa RiaafI
who is also the youngest member. He
is not young enough, however, to be
considered at all youthful, being in
the full maturity of Il vigorous young
manhood, both mentally and physic-
ally. DR.. Jamison, as his profession
would indicate, Is also man of let
ters, nor are his literary attainments
by any means confined to his profes-
sion, In which he stands as high as
any NJ. D. of his age in the State. He
is POSSESSED of an analytical mind
that quickly grasps and almost intu-
itively solves any problem wthwhich |
he is confronted. In our humble |
opinion he Is one OF the brightest |
men in Grenada county, and will re-
fleet honor upon the constituency |
that elected him as their representa-
tive, For the first time for 10 these |
many years, beat three rejoices in a
white representative in the county
legislature in the person of Richard |
NJ. Anderson, Mr.. Anderson was
elected by q very handsome majority
over colored opponent in district
whete the Cclofed voters unt-number
the whites neatly two to one and this
fact Or Itself speaks volumes for his
popularity At Nome. Mr.. Anderson is
It typical representative farmer; one
OF the solid sUhs OF the soil: one off
the kind that constitute The main
stay Of a nation in Il time of peace and
a bdl~ark in the time cf wal. a mod
est man Is Mr.. Anderson, and not
overly given to using his tongue, but
with level heah and an observant
eye that sees and notes III that trans
pires within the range Of his vision.
A man of inhe>ible honesty Of pur-
pose, aud with the courage Of his con
'iction to vote for the right, let the
Consequences be what they MAY, AZ
