DESIRABLE CITIZENS.

ton more pleasant and encourag-
ing than the coming here of good
citizens from other states who
make their homes here. In this
connection especial reference is
due the coming here of Mr.. j. l..
Ormsby and Messrs. Robert and
Hamilton Herr, uncle and neph-
ews, and Mr.. NJ. Houncefeld, who
lately bought and moved out to
the old DR.. Mcleod place six
miles east of Macon. Below the
thoroughbred stock they brought
with them is newfoundland
both men and stock are from
Kentucky. Kentuckians have
always boasted Of their women
and horses, but Kentucky men
have been omitted from the cate
CORY only because Of their own
modesty, never because of lack
of merit.
Mr.. Ormsby was successful
and prominent enough in his ma
tive state to be treasurer of the
Kentucky State Fair, an institu
ton exhibiting probably the finest
collection of live stock in the
world. He is enthusiastic about
his new home and it's capacities,
as are his colleagues, and their
methods and policy will be some
thing in the way of an education
to our people and a stimulus to
the stock-raising industry in Nox-
ubee.
1t is a matter of the sincerest
pleasure to those of our citizens
who have had the pleasure of a
personal acquaintance with
Messrs. Ormsby, Herr and
Houncefeld to see how prompt
they are to identify themselves
with us and our interests. and
how sincere is the cordiality they
feel and show to their new fell
low citizens. Their coming here
is a piece of good fortune to the
county and we believe, to them
selves, and certainly very pleas
ant thing to all who know them.
The following is some of the
stock they brought with them.
More will follow next spring:
