President Hood finished the twenty-fifth
year of his presidency of the W. M. r. r.
Co. on the 18th inst. 1t has been made the
occasiau of many favorable comments on his
management by newspapers and business
men In the city and along the line Of the road
His work speaks for itself and every COM
pliment paid him has been fully earned: MIR.
Hood has worked hard and intellgently
during those twenty-five years, giving the
flower OF his manhood to the task: he has
overcome what to others would have proven
unsurmountable obstacles and he has done it
without administering patent nostrums either
in finance or the direct management. He
found the corporation carrying burden of
Indebtedness that at the time looked like a
dead and lost investment; through his ener-
gy, by adding to this Indebtedness, he has
put value upon the entire sum and twenty
five years more of equally courageous and
intelligent management will redeem the
credit Of the road entire. May"the General
| celebrate his golden anniversary in 1924.
