But withal, MT My rick was kindly and considerate and passed over the freshness and mistakes of his younger assistants with thought fulness that always marks the man who IS willing to do the right thirg. MT My flcK Is exceptionally self-made man lie has not elevated himself by some other persons money or energy, but has won his present standing and position by hard work, by "keepfng everlastin gly at it." That the future may hold B yet larger measure of success for MT Myrick, and even high political honors, we con- fidently predict. He is the type of business men we need in Congress, and we hope he may get there some day. We suggest his name to the 2d Massachusetts Congressional district as capable sue. cessor to Congressman Gillett. The farmers ought to have more representa-. tives in Congress, and their interests would be safe in Mir Myrick's hands.
 It should be added that this article was not written at Mir Mvrick's suggestion or dictation but appears as the friendly es. innate of MT Myrick by the writer, who does not forget the generous and consid crate treatment he received during his term of service at Springfield.

 For many years Mr Jennings had been
 one of Deep Rivers most prominent res . dents, interested in and intimately iden-
 tifled with every work of local improve

 Easton, Fairfield cnunty, Conn.,, May
 1S41. and had therefore but just passed
 his 5Ssh birthday. His parents, Charles and Betsey Jennings, are longtime resi- dents of aDeep River. Simeon H. Jen- nings worked at farming and attended school until nineteen years of age
 when he entered the State Normal school st New Britain. graduating from that in- stitution in 1862 In 1863 he entered and graduated from Eastman's Commercial college st Pcughkeepsie. N. Y. During the years of 1864 and 1865 he was princi- pal and proprietor of school for boys st EastOn, Conn.,, which he conducted very successfully. In 1866 he took up his residence permanently in Deep River and on May l, 1867, entered the employ of his uncle, the late Russell Jennings, to take eoie charge of the sales, cores pondence and financial matters connected with the manufacture of the celebrated Jennings bits and aHgurs. This position he held for 21 years. until the death of Russell Jennings in 1888. The Russell Jennings Manufacturing Co.,, was formed after the death of Russell Jennings, Of which s. H. Jennings was president and treasurer for eight years, or until 1896, holding one-fourth interest in the con- cern. In the latter year change was made in the officers of the corporation, but Mr Jennings remained director until his death. For the past three he had en- gagged in private enterprises to a limited

 hands at the age of 3S He married Vira

 they have two daughters, B and II, and

 Aside from his journalistic work Mir MYrick has been somewhat identiti d
 with public affairs In city, state and na- tion. He organized the Springfield Ina provement association in 1889 He se- organized the Warwick Cycle Manufac-
 turing company the same year. The Metallic Drawing Roll company was also organized by him, and the foundation of it's remarkable success was laid during bis ineumbency as treasurer.
 MT Myrick is the author of several standard agricultural books, and is wide Iy known also for his executive work in organizing the farmers throughout the United States. Various milk and dairy associations of 6 commercial character, the American Maize Propaganda shat has largely increased the use of corn at home and abroad, and the American Sugar Growers society, through which the domestic beet sugar industry is being rapidly developed, are among the im- portant efforts conducted through the journals under his direction. Mir Myrick has visited every state and territory in this country and has made several trips abroad.
 Mr Mvrick was good man to work for, as tn present editor of THE BEE can testify after eight years of service under him. IF man had anything in him, Mr Myrick was qnick to fad it out. He placed large responsibilities on the shoulders of his subordinatas but at the same time gave them large scope Tor in dividual action. He was a prodigious worker himself, and his associates in some rnea ure caught his enthusiasm. He was quick to recognize and compli- 1 ment good work, and was equally em-l

Those who were present at the Pomo- n meeting in Brookfield, had the plea sure of hearing one of the foremost and most practical agriculturist of the state. J. H. Hale, He had already an almrst national reputation as peach grower, which is almost 8 speciality with him. But he is as much at home ia many other branches of agriculture. He has th facility of seeing the practical side of every question and knows how to carry 1t out successfully. As g speaker he is forcible and has the ssart putting things" so as to carry conviction without inc pro cess of argument. All farmers who lia- tened to him must feel that they heard much that will be helpful to them in their calling. His desire to cause laugh led him to make many remarks which would have been better left nnsaid or put in different form. But the stimulant of the applause of an attentive audience is many time sufficient to lead to such In He is \ self msde man and has wrested his success bv push, perse- verance and general good common sense, three qualifications which will bring suc- cess in any calling.
