ties Of W. G. Liggstt. now l with pleas
ure, yes, gladly do speak Of him as a
man. No written memorial can indicate
the strong hold he has on the men he
has employed. nor portray that peerless
personality which gives him his marvel
GUS power among his men. He has a
matchless grace Of soul that makes him
an unfalling winner of hearts. His
translucent mind pulsates with light

as beautiful az pictures in the sky, and
his pathos as deep as the well of tears.
He moves upon these souls as the divine
spirit upon the waters, either lashing
them into storms of enthusiasm, or still
ing them to restful quiet OF sympathy.
