I ness sagacity, and was successful tn au his ventures from the beginning. He has engineered and SO successfully con- ducted the afKairs of the old company that in addition to the duties of that management he has been called to hisnef and greater responsibilities and with q business tact and ability that has been | a marvel to his friends, he will 90 on to | larger achievements and win increased laurels in his commercial career.

 This unobtr trusive, genial, Christian gen. tleman enjoys the confidence and esteem of the people of Southeast Alabama in marked degree. Broad-gauged. progres- sive and liberal-minded he not only stanrs in the forefront of every business enterprise calculated to develop and pro- mote the material interests of his native town, but earnestly and successfully, though quietly and without ostentaton, takes the lead also in school and church work, and in all religious endeavors look ing to the moral upbuilding of the conn munity in which he has lived all the years of his life. He gives to charity with full. free hand, and he is easily
 
 and most deservedly so.
 MT. Fox Henderson. who is the Prcsi- dent of the new company. is one of the moneyed men of Troy. and he furnished much of the capital to the new enter prise. but he has so many other irons in the fire, that he leaves the active man. agement to MT. Wiley, knowing that he has the experience in that line of busi- ness. and that he will bring the under taking out on the profit side. Mir. Hon- derson has made his money in Troy, ana he, too, is one of the contemplating. pro- gressive citizens of this splendid town. He has always done his rart in every public undertaking, and Is liberal and magranimous in his dealings with oehers and never turns deaf ear to deserving and worthy appeals.
 MT. J. c. Henderson. the Treasurer, Is also enc of the leaders in business and social circles, and no one Is more popu- lar with. the people of the county. He attends closely to business and has been very successful, but he finds time to take interest in politics. and no one is more ready to help his friends. never thinking of being a candidate for any of1ice himself. He is a most interesting conversationalfst. and ts ever ready to talk politics and of current events. being well posted and up with the affairs of the day.
 Captain L. H. Bowies, the Secretary. Is the man who does the real figuring. and he is a splendid gentleman, besides being known as a gallant and faithful Confederate soldier. He has been con- nected with the old company in the dual capacity of Secretary and Treasurer, and now the work has grown so that he can only i'll one of the places in the new i. company.
 The old works are being operated, just as before, and while the stockholders ara pretty well the same, all being from Troy, the business will be carried on as before, and 1t is expected to find ready market for all the products of both con- cerns. Troy and all this section of the State is proud of the new enterprise that has just been launched, and predict for 1t much success, and trust that 1t means much for the future of Troy, and there Is no sort of room for doubt that it does.
