Judge Andy Martin,
Late Of Arkansas,
NOU Millionaire

Friends of Judge Andy Martin, for
years the sage of Black Oak ridge, in
Crittenden county, Ark, will be glad
to know of the good fortune which
has come his way. He now is a mill
lonaire, the major portion of his estate
consisting of q mountain of mica at
Spruce Pines, n. c.
Judge Martin had career as meteoric
as that of Athos prior TO his final re-
tirement to La Fere. He was born
at the forks and reared at the needles
OF the Dan, in Virginia, and although
he lived for years in an overlooked
country, he never lost his love for the
rough lands. When Sumter was fired
upon he enlisted in the navy and was
on a Confederate beat which was blown
up In Charleston harbor. Swimming
out under fire, he made his way back
10 Virginia and became n member OF
Gen. Fitzhugh Lees staff
About the close OF the war Judge
Martin became involved in an affair In
which many negroes lost their lives on
n boat. Imprisoned, he faced death but
escaped to Canada, thence he made his
way to Newport. Ark, and Memphis,
where the end OF a card game found
him with no tangible assets except a
few clothes and an empty valise. The
owner OF John boat charged him the
Fallse To put MN from memphis 10
Arkansas. This was in 1872.
He began there as a surveyor and
soon commenced to pick up land. Final
ly he acquired on Black Oak ridge, up
north OF Earle. a magnificent tract.
unsurpassed in the St Francis basin
for its timber and the fertility of its
soil when cleared. For year he was
county judge.
In that then isolated community he
continued his reading and few men any

he, His home was built on geometric
lines and his flower beds were formed
