its individual members are endowed with
generous feeling toward each other; and 1t
may be said in truth that that there are
few jealousies, but an earnest desire upon
the part of every member to uphold the
honor and integrity of the legal profession.
One noticeable thing about the profession
In Brunswick is that 1t takes brains and
energy to go to the front; family name or
social distinction dues not give prestige to
an unworthy member. The race belongs to
the swift, and it cannot be said in this
connection that
"Audacious ignorance stalks by with proud
and p0mpOuS pace,
While highborn genius dallies the lowliest
In the race"
But the men of the greatest ability are al
ways found in the front rank.
Here, as elsewhere, the lawyers reflect in
their most advanced form the genius
growth and greatness of the country's
prosperity and the stability of the local
and state governments.
The members that constitute the bar of
Brunswick are far and widely known for
their good citizenship. Some win soon be
marked by the "sere and yellow leaf Of
age" others, young and full of life and am
btion, are ready to walk in tn footprints
of those who SO honorab!y adorned a pro-
fesslon in history.

LEGAL LIGHTS AND OFFICERS
The Men Whose Vim. Push and Enterprise
Have Marked an Epoch in the
History of the City.


The progress and advancement Of q state
is gagged by the character of its bar.
From Its ranks more frequently than from
any other profession are selected the men
who fill the highest stations in the service
of the country. The legal profession has
existed In some shape since government
was first established. and will endure as
long as laws are obeyed and justice ad-
ministered. It's members spring from no
privileged class, but from the people, whose
aims and aspirations they share. They
have led in almost every struggle for free
dom and the advancement of mankind, and
to the American lawyers the people are
largely indebted for the blessings of lib
erty they now enjoy. It is a mistake to
suppose the life of lawyer is one of ease.

No profe fsion or calling offers wider or
broader fields for the young man than the
legal profession. Success can only be at
tanned through merit and ability. The
young man cannot with one jump leap
into popularity as a lawyer, but must
slowly tread in the footprints of the older
and more prominent members before the
fullness of success is reached. Many of
the younger members have made rap
strides, and success is surely browning
their talented efforts. Occupying con
spicuous position among this class is Mr.
A. E. Eve, bright, successful and rising
young lawyer of this city.
Mr. Eve is native of Virginia and first
saw the light in Washington county, Oc-
