Throughout that great region of the Com
monwealth the sname of Henry H. Tiff has
long been talisman of progress and of pub
lie good. Back in the days of the pioneer
where many another saw only primeval
woodland and naked plain, he beheld the
Empire Of the Wiregrass, and wrought with
master strokes to bring his vision true. The
mill which he established in 1872 on the
site of what is now the thriving capital of
Tiff county, was Tut the beginning of a
great variety of successful and constructive
projects. One of his logging railroads, used
at first in the exploitation of timber lands,
of which he had acquired some fltty-tve
thousand acres, was extended by him in 1895
to Fitzgerald and for several years was op-
Grated as the Triton and Northeastern Rail-
way, subsequently being sold 20 the syndi-
cate that organized the Atlanta, Birming-
ham and Atlantic Mr. Tiff founded, or aid

camille, and banl,ing institutions through
which the resources of Southwest Georgia
With all his business acumen he was in
terested fundamentally in the country's up
building and advancement He was among
the earliest and most valued friends of the
National Highway, promoted by The Jour-
nal and the New York Herald. He lib
orally instrumental in securing a local edu-
cational tax and free school system for Tiff
county. His aid and influence had much to
do with the location Of the Second District
Agricultural School at Triton, and also with
it's successful operation. Through his gener-
Gus gifts to Bessie Tiff College, at Forsyth.
that institution has grown in serviceableness
and has proved a blessing to hosts Of Geor-
gia girls In what regard this philanthro-
pist was held by his fellow townsmen, who
knew him best, appears in the fact that for
twenty-five consecutive years they elected
him to the city council, and that when the
commission form of government was insti-
tuted chose him, far into old age though he
was, as the boards first chairman a posi-
ton to which he was reelected short while
before his final illness.
1t is of such manhood that Georgia's rich
est and highest history is made, and in such
citizenship that her brightest hopes burn
steadfast. A man great and good has pass
ed in the death If Mr.. Tiff, but his works
live after him, boon and an inspiration.
