Informed he is captivating CONVEX
sationalist, ever and anon with some
reference to the Old Dominion line
and its superb service.
Nor is Mr.. Weisiger good talker
in private conversation only. He is
equally gifted as a speaker in public
when occasion arises. And perhaps
it is as post-prandial speaker that
he excels. Seeing him we were re-
minded Of short but eloquent speech
he made not long ago which is worthy
of publishing in this connection. The
occasion was an excursion Of railroad

entertained Mr.. Lee was presented
with a beautiful Loving Cup as slight
testimonial of appreciation and regard
for the many courtesies received at
his hands by those whose good for
tune it was to be guests of his road
on that occasion. After the presenta-
ton OF the Loving Cup Mr.. Weisiger
offered the following toast to Mr.. Lee
and the Lehigh Valley Railroad He
said
Mr. Lee, we left our happy homes for
you. Like the visit OF the Queen of Sheba
to King Solomon, we came, and Lo. the

your delighted guests, | wish to offer
this sentiment:
Here's to the Lehigh Valley Railroad:
May it overcome every mountain of
difficulty, and pass through every peace.

zephyrs of Heaven fan the brows OF all
its travellers; may it's black diamonds
sparkle and illuminate every sea and
land: and mayits genial and wholesouled

GENERAL MANAGER BARR HERE.
Taking Tour of Inspection Over the
Seaboard Air Line.

Mr.. James NJ. Barr, Vice-President
and General Manager OF the Seaboard
Air Line Railway, spent few hours
in Henderson Tuesday. He was
travelling in his private car and went
South from here making a tour of in
spsction of the property of which be
has recently assumed the manage
ment. He was accompanied by Capt.
L. w. Whisnant.
Mr.. Barr is thorough railroad
man and the Seaboard was accounted
fortunate when he was induced to
come to it. He held an important
and lucrative position with the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fs, one
OF the greatest railroad systems of
the West, at the time. Previous to
that no was with the Norfolk & Wes-
tern, which property he built up
wonderfully and established a great
reputation as one of the foremost rail-
road men OF the country.
MIR. Barr possesses the highest
order of executive ability and is an
effective organizer of his forces. Quick
to recognize merit he is as swift to
appreciate and as ready to reward it.
He has the faculty Of getting close to
his men and they hold him in warm
est regard. Already he has ingrati-
ated himself with employees and
others who have come in touch with
him. And the GOLD LEAF predicts
that the better he becomes known the
better he will be liked. The work to
which he sets himself primarily is the
Strengthening and building up OF the
Seaboard Air Line-thc making Of a
still greater and more compact rail-
way system-and a more valuable
property to the stockholders. But
this will not be done at the expense
of the people along its lines. Under
Mr.. Barr's management the same
broad and liberal policy which has
always characterized the Seaboard's
management will be pursued.
