Returnin. to his farm after the war, he found his houses destroyed. Taking his place between the plow-handles, and working with indomitable energy, and practiclng strict economy, and using good management he has won financial suc- cess.
 In 1870, when thirty three years of age, he attended school III Lonoke for sever al months, and then went to Mississippi College; in 1872 was elected to the Legis- lature, and was one of those Democrats who fought the measures of reconstruc- tion in that body. In 1874 he was an act i've spirit on the side of Baxter in the Brooks Baxter imbroglio, talk ing 0 company of one hundred men from Lonoke to the capital in support of Bax- ter. He was a member of the extraordi- nary session of the Legislature following this occurrence which called the consti tutional convention of that year, and was chosen rs sember of that convention by the people of Lonoke County. In 1885 he was again sentto the Legislature, and was elected Speaker of the House.
 He is dignified, modest and unassuming in personal department, and his political friends claim that he is fair and liberal in his views, and has intelligence to form clear convictions and the courage to carry them out.
