sicians, dentists and the telephone ex-
change is known as the Moseley build
ing and is owned by DIR. J. A. R. Nose
ley, an old citizen, a leading physician,
and a large property holder.
DR.. Moseley is native of Marion
county and owes his success to hard
work, indomitable pluck and faith in
himself. He was not born with a golo
or silver spoon in his mouth, but by the
work of his own brains, by courtesy,
by geniality, by devotion to his chosen
profession, and by Selling the fore
lock of the good horse opportunity when
it passed his way, DR.. Moseley has been
able not only to acquire the building
mentioned but other centrally located
city property, farm land and beau
tifully located homestead on Broadway
where the splendid old south residence
stands out conspicuously. Here his
wife who was Miss Ada Emmert,
and his two children, Lois and Bob,
with the good doctor lead an ideal life.
True hearted hospitality, culture and
refinement reign here and to a large
circle of friends it is happiness to spend
few hours in this atmosphere.
Taking an actice part in the affairs
of the city, although busy man, DR..
perform without money and without
Moseley finds time to attend to those
duties which every good citizen has to
perform without money and without
price.
The Jimplecute but voices the senti-
ment of his fellow townsmen, when it
says that Jefferson values his services
to the city and to her people, and &C
cords him due honor for his achieve
ments as man, physician and city
builder.

JOHN L. MosELEY, D. D. S.

Jefferson is an old Southern com.
munity composed of people of refine
ment and culture. In town of this
character the professional men, as a
class, are of high grade and exert a
great amount of influence.
Prominently identified with the best
interests of the city we find DR.. John
l.. Moseley. DR.. Moseley has been
practicing his profession of dentistry
here for the past two years and during
that time has built up lucrative pract-
ice among the best people in the city
and vicinity.
As a citizen he takes a personal in
terest in the general welfare of the
city, doing his full share to encourage
every movement started to advance the
prosperity of the town and county.
The Jimplecute is proud of Jefferson
and her professional men, and it takes
pleasure in recording the success and
popularity of DR.. John L. Moseley, in
its review of its leading men of affairs.
He is a public spirited citizen and a
man worthy of every confidence and
respect.

his counsel and his money for the good
of the people. Brushing aside all So
phistries that saloons and whisky can
under any circumstances build up 4
town that is worthy to exist, that they
can add to the real wealth and pros
perity of people, Col. Ward at a crit
zeal time threw the weight of his in
fluence for morality and sanity and
brought about the exclusion of the sa
loon, and substituted for the beverage
that increases thirst, the pure water
which quenches it.
Our public schools, both white and
black, have also been the benefieiaries
of Col. Wards generosity, and have
been able to accomplish what otherwise
they could not have done.
Col. Ward is believer in Jefferson,
as he has reason to be, for here he
has prospered, and here he has main
tanned vigorous health and energy. An
optimist, he does not see the hole in the
doughnut, but sees the doughnut itself.
Seeing through the glamour and illu-
sions which delude so many he has al
ways been safe adviser, and advocate
of conservative public policy.
The Jimplecute, in common with our
mayor and citizens generally, congrat-
ulates the colonel on his achievements
as a man, and citizen, and hopes that
when his century chimes strike out he
may still be with us and find Old JEFF
ferson better and grander than she has,
ever been.

HON. B. F. sIIERRELL.
Jefferson's Able Mayor and Prominent
Citizen-How He Made Good.

1t was many years ago when young
man, really a boy in years, came to
Jefferson with widowed mother and
several younger brothers. There was
good stuff in him, and devotion to his
noble mother. With no powerful friends,
with no pull to elevate him to posi-
ton to enrich him, he went to work.
There was no rose bordered path for
him to tread. 1t was work, hard work,
persistent work, a daily expanding of
energy and brain power in doing his
duty to those who had been placed in
his care by the death of his father.
But the boy made good.
Today when he looks back on his
achievements they probably present
themselves to him as his happiest
days.
That young man was Ben F. Sherrell,
the present mayor of the city of JEFF
ferson, and leading business man.
AS mayor, Mr.. Sherrell is our first
citizen. He has given the city clean,
strong, able and satisfactory admins
tration. The budget is not large one,
but by care and foresight Mayor Sher-
rell has taken care of the streets and
crossings, has had the city well lighted,
with an abundant supply of pure artes-
ian water furnished at reasonable rates
and has had the city so well differed,
that disorder is practically unknown
and this result of his administration
has met with the hearty commentator
of our people.
Mr.. Sherrell believes in Jefferson, he
loves the old town that has been the
scene of his labors and his triumphs
He shows his faith by his works. He
is heavy stakeholder and president OF
the Citizens Drug Company, he is q
stakeholder in the Rogers National
Bank, has his money invested in Jeffer
son and Marion county realty and op
crates a large farm adjacent to the
city, besides conducting a fire insuE
ance business of magnitude.
Mayor Sherrell is man among men
he sees what Jefferson can be and needs
and never fails to go to the front
when her welfare is at stake.
The boy who came to Jefferson years
ago, is now the man of affairs an6
ihonored position, influential and pros
iperous. Truly is Texas and jefferson
land of OPT ortunities, and rewards fol-
those who strive.
1t affords the Jimplecute pleasure
to record the success of Jefferson ,:
mayor. Hon. B. F. Sherrell.

MIR. r. r. TAYLOR.
A Well-Known Land Owner and Dis
tinguished Lawyer.

No history of Marion county or JEFF
ferson could be written that did not
include in its annals the House of
Taylor. The State of Texas also shows
in the records at the State capital that
the Taylors were conspicuous for years
in framing our laws and giving us that
government which has developed this
great commonwealth into an Empire.
There are thousands of Texans still
living who knew personally the Hon.
M. D. K. Taylor, who for thirty years
represented the Jefferson district in the
legislature and who was honored by
his colleagues by repeated elections to
the position of Speaker Of the House.
This gentleman has left his impress
on our Bill Of Rights and on our Con-
stitution. His wisdom and his genius
show themselves today in many Of our
laws, but it is of his son, R. R. Taylor,
a wellknown Jefferson citizen that the
Jimplecute now writes.
A worthy scion of noble house,
Dick Taylor, as he is affectionately
called, is a native Of Grand Old Marion
county.
When lad he attended our schools
and drew information from every tree
and flower, he knew the haunts of the
deer and the wild turkey. The air that
swept through the branches of the lord
ly pine trees, that bring healing and
solace, whispered to him of a pre-emi,
nent position as a legal counselor and
advocate, and SO he shaped his course
Owner of broad acres be became al
planter and then later engaged in thu
drug business but continued his Law
studies, stopping by the wayside onl.
long enough to serve his people al
district clerk.
He was a student at Westinghouse
University, the immortal R. E. LIE
being one of his instructors.
Admitted to the bar in 1856, youlg |
R. R. Taylor soon took high rank as
a lawyer and has continually advanced
in the estimation of all, clients, judges,
and brother attorneys, until today he
stands in the forefront at all the lars
of State and Federal courts. His
practice is confined to civil law, and
he has won many noted cases. R, R.
Taylor is younger brother of the
lamened Col. E. W. Taylor, a gallant
Confederate veteran, whbse name is
indissolubly linked with the rise and
triumphant progress of Fort Wofh.
Today Mr.. R. R. Taylor is one of
Jefferson's solid citizens, large prop
erty owner, distinguished lawyer, a
kind father of three stalwart sons and
a cultured, beautiful and refined
daughter, while he ever holds in bis in
most soul the sweetheart of his youth,
his devoted wife and life companion.
The Jimplecute extends to Nj Tay-
lor, in this, it's souvenir edition, its
! heartiest congratulations to the gen
tleman and hopes that Dick Taylor
may live to see jefferson again assume
her place as a Texas metropolis.

uRouHARr & WOOD.
Conducting the Leading Insurance
Agency of Jefferson.

The tremendous growth of the in
suranee business marks the strides that
clvlllzatlon has made in this world.
Inc fundamental principle of insurance
Is That society as whole, or at least
large part of it shall share in the
burden OF loss by death of the individ-
uals, OF destruction by fire of property
winch has been part of the sum total
OF material wealth. 1t is carrying out
the biblical precept that no man lives
OF dies to himself alone but that all
are affected.
In order to bring to the mass of
people the benefit Of insurance of all
KINDS great agencies have been estab-
iished at centers of trade and popula-
ton which conduct the business at the
least possible expense, and accurately
and expeditiously.
ouch an agency of high character and
standing is that of Urquhart & Wood
Of jefferson.
Inc present firm is the successor of
A. M. Urquhart & Co. which began
business here years ago and which en-
Joyed high repute for honorable deal
ing and conscientious service. The pres
emit firm Urquhart & Wood began bust
ness some eighteen months ago and are
indeed worthy successors of the former
concern. -.
Urquhart & Wood place insurance of
all kinds in good companies. Here you
can buy life, accident, fire, tornado,
livestock, burglary, plate glass, steam
boiler, liability and surety bond in
surance. This wide range of industry
being covered by the many companies
organized for the specific purposes
named.
The members of this firm are both
natives of Jefferson, they move in the
best circules of society and business.
Their word is their bond and consequent.
ly they possess the confidence of all the
community. The business has grown
some since they took it, and as Jefferson
grows their business will increase.
Mrs. Urquhart and Mr.. Wood believe
in Jefferson, they have no doubts as to
its future, they see the possibilities
and realize the possibilities of what the
city may become, and will always be
found doing their full part.
The Jimplecute sincerely congratu
lates the firm on its success and high
standing. -.

HUSSEY & WHELAN.
One of the Great Tie Concerns of Texas
With Headquarters at Jefferson.

The railroads of Texas are great de-
velopers of the resources of the State
in more ways than one. Not only de
they make the waste places bloom, but
they leave tens of thousands of dollars
in the hands of the laborers of this
State for the material they use in con-
struction and betterment. Among the
big items that the NJ K. s. T. railroad
charges up to improvement is that of
ties and of these they use scores of
thousands and for which they pour into
circulation thousands of dollars.
The getting out of ties is business
peculiar to itself and many well-known
firms are engaged in this work, among
the number being Hussey & Whelan of
Jefferson, firm composed of j. B.
Hussey and NJ. J. Whelan.
Both these gentlemen are West Vir-
ginians, being here twelve and eight
years respectively.
This firm has scores of men at work
in Marion and other counties cutting
and shaping ties and other railroad
timber which are concentrated at near
by stations, inspected and paid for.
Among the larger points of concentra-
ton is Jefferson which is plainly to
be seen by any one coming into or
going from Jefferson on the Katy rail
road. These piles of ties represent
large sums of money which has been
paid out at jefferson and much of it
has found its way into the channels
of trade here. This one item has helped
Jefferson extensively and has been a
factor in making for prosperous retail
trade.
Hussey & Whelan also conduct a lum-
Der mill not far from the city.
Both gentlemen have faith in JEFF
ferson as a good business location and
are not at all doubtful of the city s
future.
In our industrial history of Jefferson
the Jimplecute does not hesitate tc
place the tie industry in the front rank
Messrs Hussey s. Whelan are large
owners of both country and city prop
erty.

COL. w. B. WARD.
Jefferon's Wealthiest Citizen and
Phlanthrophist- Apostle of
Pure Water.

Loves of bread and cups of pure
waite are rungs in the ladder that reach
fror things earthly to things heavenly,
and we have the words of the Master
hinself that it is the giving of these
Thugs that fulfill the law Of Love, the
gratest thing in the world.
Jefferson has seen an exemplifica-
t9n of this doctrine in most striking
manner by the free gift to all her people
d fountain of living water, brought
rom the depths. An artesian well,
hat drawing its supply from a point
l6S feet below the surface of the earth
furnishes our people bountiful supply
of uncontaminated water, enough for
all purposes.
This well drilled AID equipped at a
cost of $4,000 is the gift of Col. W.
B. Ward, pioneer, publicist, a
wealthy and successful man of business,
and will stand as a monument forever
to his good sense and philanthropy.
Col. Ward has been factor in the
affairs of Jefferson for many years.
He has given of his time, his influence,
