Mayor G. Leslie Ferris, son
of &. D. Ferris, was born in the
city of St. Louis, June 5 1857,
and is therefore nearly "a years old.
He moved to this city with
his parents in the year of 1865.
He attended several different pub.
lie schools in st. Louis and re.
ceived a good common school edu.
cation. He showed an aptitude from
the beginning as a student and a
scholar, and his father, seeing the
aptness and ability of his son
concluded to give him thorough
and practical education. In 1874
he attended the McGes College,
from which school he graduated.
After leaving the school, he served
an apprenticeship at the timers
bench, In McLaren & Williams
big hardware store in st. Louis.
He engaged in the hardware bust.
ness for himself, after his appren-
ticeship, at Centralia, and for sew.
eral years carried on the business
successfully. While there, in 1877,
he married Miss Matte H. Gar.
rard, daughter of J. D. Garrard of
that city, of which union they are
blest with one child, a daughter of
the sweetest disposition. In 1880
he sold his interests at Centralia
and moved back to Mexico, where
he opened up one of the largest
hardware stores IN the city at that
time, but did not stay with this
business long until lie sold his
store and engaged in the washing
machine business, which proved
to be a profitable as we'll as a pleas
ant change. This business called
him to all the principal cities of
the United States and Canada, and
brought him daily in contact with
the business men of the country
that left an impression upon him
that he has never forgotten, I. e.
how to manage ones own business
successfully.
He resided one year in Phila-
delphia and one year in New York.
and Brooklyn, and lived for short
time in Toronto, Canada. Finally,
firing Of moving around, he moved
back to Mexico and embarked in
the hardware business. in which
he is now pleasantly located. AL
ways of an ambitious nature and
ready to serve his people has
brought him into prominence, and
in the political field as deadly
foe to his opponents for whatever
position he ran. In the spring OF
1888, he, although a young man, was
elected Councilman over w. o.
Johnson, one of Mexico's sold
stage horses" in politics. Mr..
johnson challenged HIM to make
the race the next year. which he
did, and to Mr.. Johnson's surprise
the rusult was the same as the
year before. In 1890 he was
chosen as the city's Democratic
standard bearer and was elected
Mayor by a large majority. He
has always proven in politics, as
in business, an upright, honest,
faithful, public servant, always do
ing that which he thought to be of
the most good to the greatest num-
Der of persons. Mr.. Ferris has
been successful at anything he has
ever undertaken, and will leave the
Mayors Office without a blot or
stain upon his character or on the
city that he has served so we'll.
Mayor G.. L. Ferris has made a
fine record as Chief Executive of
Mexico and will likely be re.elect-
ed without opposition, as he richly
deserves.
