 After the death of his father, Tandy w. Toney devoted himself to the management of "Roseland," the family plantation, and to the care of his mother and sisters. His only brother Sterling B. Toney, became a judge of q Kentucky circuit in Louisville. He is now leading member of the bar at Denver. Colo. Handy W. Toney re- mained upon the plantation and spent his life in caring for the welfare of his mother and sisters
 His sisters were: Mrs Carrie H. Bradford, Mrs. Jamie Flournoy, Mrs Ida w. Holt, and Mrs. W. c. Oates. Ot the family those who survive are Mrs. Flournoy, Mrs. Oates and Judge Ster- ling B. Toney. Few families of the state have been so widely known as the Toney's.
 For the past two years MT. Toney had been engaged in the perfection of a steam injector which he had invented and patented The invention under practical tests proved a great saving of power and fuel. Mir Toney had declined several offers for 1t and was engaged in organizing a company to put It on the market when he was stricken with his last illness.

A life sized oil portrait of David Hubbard. of Lawrence County, who was the first Indian Commissioner of the Confederate States. has been re- ceived at the Department of Archives and History. and will be placed in a conspicuous spot by Director Owen.
 The picture was contributed by a grandson. David C. Hubbard. of Town. Creek. It is a bust portrait, showing Mir. Hubbard with high stock, worn at the time. blue coat and brass but tons. which indicates that the portrait was painted before the war between the States.
 During the war David Hubbard was a leader in the secession movement In throughout the State. The only othe Indian Commissioner of the Southern States was Sutton s. Scott. who died a short time ago at Auburn.
 Brewers history of Alabama has the following about David Hubbard:
 Among She many men of mark who have lived in Lawrence. David Hub bard may we'll be classed. His family was from Virginia, but he is a native of Tennessee, and born about the year l794 His parents being poor, his early advantages were limited.
 He was volunteer at the battle of New Orleans, and, long after. on his electioneering tours. when some kind hearted voter would inquire why he limped, Oh. nothing but that old wound I got at New Orleans he would indifferently say.
 Just after the peace he came to this, State and worked in Huntsville as a carpenter. He read law there. and came to this county to reside as a practitioner about the year 1S1s. Elect ed to the office of Solicitor soon after,

he entered the Legisiature in 1927. and within the thirty years ensuing was nine times, chosen to one house or the other of the General Assembly.
 'In 1889 he was elected to Congress, defeating Hon. David c. Ligon. Again in 1S4s he was elected to Congress, this time over Messrs. William B. Wood and E.. A. .O'Nea1, both of Lauderdale: but he was thrice defeated for the position by General Houston of Limestone.
 Tn 1860 he was an elector for Breck- inridge. During the occupancy of Lawrence County by the Federal troops they shamefully treated him, and showed no respect for his gray hairs. Sints the peace, he has resided in mid- de Tennessee.
 "In appearance Major Hubbard is stout, but stoop- shouidered and un- comedy. His brow is broad and large. but disfigured by a wen. His address is rather awkward. but his mind was full of vigor and vitality even in his later public life. As an efectioneerer, whether on the stump or in the bush. he was truly formidable, possessing many arts of the popular man.
 His heart is kind and humane. his friendship ardent and his ability chief ly developed as politician. far above mediocrity. He Is also a close student of mankind, and his shrewdness and tact are proverbial in Lawrence.
 He first married a sister of Hon. Argyle Campbell of this county, but his present wife was Miss Stoddert of Tennessee. Hon. Greene K. Hub bard of Lawrence County was broth CT of Major Hubbard"
 One point not mentioned in the fore- going is that Mir. Hubbard was the first Superintendent of Indian Affairs of the Confederate States.

 His wife, whose belief in his inno- cence had never faltered until he es- caped, declared then that if he had real ly been guiltless he would have never run away. She applied for a di- vorce immediately and 1t was granted.
