So devoted was he to the raising of Jer-. seys and Guernseys that at his death he left little but the cattle which he had aimed to spread so widely that known as the richest milk producing section of the South. His efforts were to a great extent nu1lided by the easy going "cracker, " who could not see the advantage of paying high prices for fancy cattle.

 Among the influx of wealthy Nor therners, the owner of a neig ghboring estate offered tosinvest a large sum in the work. The proud southern blood of Billie Cree spurned the offer of partnership or phi1anthropy Later in moment Of jocularity the North eFn millionaire, apparently struck by her charm Of personality and smooth ness of voice, offered $5O,000 outright i f within two years she conId make a name for herself that would carry her before the Broadway foot1ights three successive times in separate theatres within one month.
