 The stately old home, all dressed ill white fits into the impressive setting given 1t by It's builder, and a generous nature. This fine old place belongs to
 the later period of home building in the South the period in which taste and money could find the skill to d., | their bidding and carry out the plans they conceived.

 The father was James Jackson, soldier | of the war of 1872. He settled first at | Independence. an old time town in tu" county of Autauga, but now unknown. ] But when he died. many years later, l in this fine old home on the hill, his
 remains were carried back to 1nde- pendcnce, and there laid to rest.
