amples before their children.
And thesejewels are the great.

can bestow on their children.
He received n thorough coun.
try schooleducation in IA period
when some of the higher
branches were taught, and
when the discipline was much
more rigid than at the present
day. Was taught the indus
try of farming while "a boy
and made it his choice vocat-
ion until q few months since.
His sympathies are naturally
with the tillers OF the soil, and
believes no one has the oppor-
tunity of living nearer his
maker than the honest con.
scientious farmer. His past
life has been quiet and un-
e~ventful perhaps but pleas.
ant neverless and his ambition
has been to honor God and
serve his fellow man.
In 1894 he was married to
Miss Willie Gauldin and by so
doing united q democratic aud
