LOUIS S. scHLuTER.
A Leading Jeffersonian, Land Owner
Lawyer and Horticultural.

Among the prominent. efficient. act
i've citizens, and business men of JEFF
ferson none is more worthy of honor
and respect than Mr.. L. S. Sehluter,
"a well known land owner, lawyer, hor-
tieulturist and oil land developer.
Mr.. Schluter is native of Marion
county, born near the city of Jeffer-
son. His father, F. A. Sehluter, was
pioneer from Tennessee who did his
full share in the development of this
part of Texas. He was prominent
merchant of jefferson
Young Louis Schluter was hard
working, energetic, and studious. De.
voting himself to the law, he was IL
censed to practice while still a young
man, and quickly made his mark. He
stood so high that he was elected county
attorney several times and was sent to
the legislature to make laws for Texas.
When a young man he married Miss
Kittie Durr, by this marriage uniting
two of the old and distinguished fam
lilies of Marion county. Mr.. and Mrs.
Schluter have two daughters, one who
is waiting just over yonder for
family reunion, and the other the wife
of Mr.. T. L. Torrans, one of Jeffer-
sons merchant princes.
l.. S. Schluter is an orator of more
than ordinary note and lawyer who
has been successful.
As time passed Mr.. Sehluter aeuuir-
ed large acres of land until his farm
holdings are extensive. He is a first
class farmer in the best sense and de-
voting care and attention to the grow
ing of fruit and is recognized as an
authority in horticulture, especially in
the raising of peaches of which he
has several fine orchards. Listening
to the call of the soil and the allure
ments of flower, bird and field Mr..
Schluter has lived on one of his farms
for several years, and can testify that
health, happiness and wealth come to
those who get nearest to old mother
earth.
When oil was discovered in this
section Mr.. Sehluter was one of those
who took part in developing the field,
and he has been successful.
A devout member of the Methodist
church, Mr.. Schluter is superintendent
of the Sunday school which he has
brought to a high state of efficiency.
Mr.. Schluter has reason to be proud
of his career in Jefferson, and the
Jimplecute can attest that whenever
the people, the town or the county,
yes and the State, have called upon him
for service, he has responded promptly
and willingly.
In the larger field, which the Jimple-
cute firmly believes Jefferson will soon
occupy, the talents and public spirit of
Louis Sehluter will be available and
valuable and with the others of the
Old Guard will place the city where
, she belongs, the metropolis of and pace,
maker for East Texas
Recently Mr.. Schluter has purchased
the old homestead where his father set
tied in 1S47. He has built a modern
home on the property and near it he
has an orchard of 10000 trees, most
of them peach.

years and enjoyed the confidence and

patronage which is unwapering and
pleasureable, there are friendships form
ed that are appreciated, and the man

demonstration of its regard.

this opportunity of extending to the
public his sincere appreciation for the

forty.three years of merchandising in
Jefferson, and avail himself of this
opportunity to cordially welcome and
to become acquainted with those cor

tude, Mr.. Eldridge is capable of pre-
senting to his patrons none but the
very best line of goods and of the

COL. W. T. ARM1sTEAD.
One of Jefferson's Prominent Citizens
and Land Owners-A Distin-
guished Lawyer.

In the early days of Texas, and that
is not very long ago, there came to
Cass county, which adjoins Marion, a
young man whose home was in far
away Georgia. He had no burden of
wealth or years to carry, but was en-
dowed with energy, pluck, ambition
and keen insight into things political.
He had been a Confederate soldier, a
commissioned captain, had fought well
and had been for time in federal
prison, having been captured in one
of the battles near Columbus, Ga.
Coming to Texas, he had for time
taught school in Douglasville, Cass
county, and studied law. He was ad
mitted to practice in January, 1878,
and removed to Jefferson, then the
largest city in the State. Here he
forged to the front and it was not long
until he was associated in the practice
of his profession with the immortal
David B. Culberson, the Texas legal
giant, who for twenty years represent
ed this district in Congress.
Bold, fearless and a. Democrat of
Democrats, Col. Armistead found EN-
ployment for all his political genius
during the days of reconstruction in
resisting, fighting and overcoming the
Vaccinations of the cohorts of hatred
and exploitation, doing much to tighten
the load all Southern communities had
to carry.
When true peace returned, Col. Arm
istead devoted himself to law, wider
politics, to literature and to study
of broad theology.
ELECTED to the legislature and senate
ceived their applause.
While engaged in these pursuits the
business instinct showed itself and he
began to accumulate property, chiefly
in broad acres of rich Marion county
land until today he owns some 1000
acres of this soil.
A man of affairs, high character,
strict integrity, honorable and social 10
an eminent degree, he is a leader in
Jefferson business and social life.
Cultured, communing daily with the
master minds of old, thinkers, jurists
and warriors, he has a store of knowl-
edge which makes him rare converse
tionalist and delightful companion.
human to high degree, with red blood
in his arteries and veins he is hater
of shams and an enemy of hypocrisy.
In his splendid library are the works
of the masters, old and new, and among
his books many of a religious charact-
er, which closely studied have made
Co. Armistead theological scholar.
Seated in his own "ingle nook" with
his choice and kindred spirits at hand
the colonel leads the life of a sage and
philosopher, when the stress and tur-
MOL of the days work is done.
Here he recalls the memories Of his
preceptors, Prof. w. l.. Mitchell and
Senator B. H. Hill, at the University of
Georgia.
Jefferson is proud of her distinguish
ed citizen and hopes he may long live to
enjoy the fruits of his earlier labor.

To keep the records straight, to have

undertaking that will tax the skill and
