Disdaining with quiet disregard the. envy
excited in others by the growth of his
power and influence, he moved steadily
on his way, doing whatever his hand
found to do with all his might. His idea
of life was that of living peaceably
with all men. By wise and judicious
course, tempered by the Christian re-

coupled with his inherent worth. won
for him the esteem of the leading whites
who knew him, and he maintained their
respect not by dependable trucking, as
many seek to do, but by his manly bear
ing. Respectful and courteous to all
alike. he never occasioned the slightest
racial friction, yet in a respectful and
courteous way he would urge proper con-
sideration for his race as occasion would
require. His sincerity was so transpar-
ent that he excited the utmost confidence
on the part of all alike.
Pettiford was always that which he

bond, and his obligations We're as sa-
credly as were those of any man.
While he served his own people, DR..
Pettiford served the white people as we'll.
One cannot aid one race without benefit

pluck which he inculcated, the stimula-
ton to worth aroused in thousands, the
example set in his department toward the
white racial of these were elements
of beneficience for which his white neigh

With pleasure the present writer bears
testimony to the value of this worthy
mans life. He knew. Dr. Pettiford for
