Ed. Grecrs was born a Tennesscan

youth Ed. Greers laid the foundation
Of his education in equine lore. and
by the time he was twenty.seven,
when he made his racing premiere in
old Mobile, there was mighty little
he didn't know about horses. One Of
the things he learned is that a horse,
Just like a human; has his little
eccentricities and pe~culiarities, and
that everyanimal has to be developed
along individual lines. That's where
many reinsmen fall down. according
to "Pop"-they dope out some

one particular animal, and think 1t
will work with all. In his long career

and whenever he declared that an

But 1t is not because he Is one OF

Although large numbers of the ma.

fame and fortune in the barber shops
and coal mines Of the New World dis.
covered by Christoforo Colombo, very
few have taken up the profession Of
pugilism. The Sicilian Is not averse
to a rookus, and Is not noted for his
placid and peaceful Temperament, but
natures weapons are seldom to his
liking. While there are shoals Of
Italian boxers In America, the son Of
Sicily has never been conspicuous.
One Of the few exceptions is Joe Cos

some renown in the featherweight
division. Joe was born in Palermo,

A MANLY MAN.

(FrOm the Centralia Courier.)
While in Mexico the other morning
we met Jas. H. Sallee going to his
store. In Mexico it is said mat
when Mr., Sallee goes to work in the
morning folks set their watches at
$3.50 o'clock, so regular are the bust
ness habits of this fine man. AS he
passed on we remarked to those about
us upon the years we had known Mr..
Sallee and of the excellence of mis-
character and the worth of his fair
name. Our appreciation of this splen.
did citizen found an miscellaneous and
enthusiastic response from each man
in the group. 1--WE have no better men
than JIM" said one, while another
told of his influence,and still another
spoke about his integrity. We do
not presume to know how much of
this worlds goods Jim Sallee can call
his own, but we do know. that he is
one of Audrain's richest men in char
acter andgoodname, and you will re-
call that Solomon said a good name
was more desirable than great riches,
Mexico has many strong, dependable,
splendid men of great moral worth,
and, possessing these, she is richer
than Golconda's mines, regardless OF
whether she ever has money enough
to light her streets or not, The
wealth of town consists in the man
hood and womanhood OF her citizens,
and not in the abundance of the ma
terial things it may possess.
