Lindsay with the necessity of returning to the practice of his profession, so he entered the shorthand field here and continued it until 1900, when he quit to engage in the florist business, which he continued for several years.

H. Vincent, the defaulting treasurer of the state, both tried at Montgomery. He also reported the great speeches of Senator Morgan delivered here. In 1S91, MT. Lindsay began the use of the Edi-' son photograph in connection with the transcription of his shorthand notes and also conducted a small phonograph ex- change, thus being the first user com mercially of what is now seen in so many offices.
