Mr.. William Taylor, the oldest citizen
and politician of note in the city, is hale

younger than himself.
Mr. Taylor is the. father of Mayor

wholesale and retail grocer in the State.
Every thing that he touched while he was
in business seemed to turn to gold
He was straightforward and honest in all

This well-known nonogenarian saw light
on the 1st day. of May, 1910, and from his
youth displayed a remarkable insight
into business.

old Wing party and how Henry CLAY
fought to get the Presidents chair. It

statesman donned himself in those times
and to smile as Henry Clay did then. He

Mr.. Taylor has since the days Of the
Wing party voted the Democratic ticket
both in State and local elections and
has been ansardent believer In pure city
government, having voted for the best

that it causes much corruption among

In habits Mr.. Taylor is strictly abb

his great prudence, as young in actions
