1891, Mr.. Tiff was elected a member
of the. council and served continu-
ously for twenty-one years. Later he
was elected mayor of Triton and when
commission form of government
went into effect, was elected Chair
man of the City Commission, to which
position he was reelected last Dec
ember. He was Tifton's last mayor.
Mr.. Tiff has given generously to
the cause of education, being largely
instrumental in securing for the City
of Triton and the new county of Tiff
local tax and free systems of schools.
He made large donations to Bessie
Tiff College at Forsyth, which was
named iii honor of Mrs. Tiff By his
liberality was secured the location of
the Second District Agricultural
School at Triton and by means and in
fluence he has contributed largely to
its operation. He was always inter-
ested in agricultural development and
in 1889 donated 1000 acres of land
to the Georgia Southern & Florida
Railway for the establishment of an
agricultural experiment station. Two
years ago he was largely instrumental
in securing the location of the Coastal
Plain Experiment Station at Triton.
Personally he experimental largely
in peach, grape, pecan and tobacco,
growing, also in livestock raising, his
orchards, vineyards, farms and herds
being show places in this section.
When the new county of Tiff was
created it was in fact named for him,
although because of a prejudice
against naming counties after living
men, the honor was ostensibily given
his uncle, Nelson Tiff.
One of the means of Development
in which he took a most active inter
est was good roads. He gave this work
much of his time, means and personal
attention, and no movement for fur
thering this work failed to receive his
active cooperation. The National
Highway and its interests held a place
very close to his heart.
Many were the institutions, educa-
tional benevolent and uplifting, to
which he contributed with liberal
hand Among the educational insti-
tuition receiving largest benefits in adj
Jon to Bessie Tiff College were
Georgia Tech, Mt. Berry School, Tai
lulah Falls School, and many others
Every religious, educational or other
public institution in Triton received
not alone his financial but his personal
support. 1t was remarkable that, for
man whose days were so filled
he always found time to attend every
public meeting held in Triton when he
was PHYSICALLY able to be present
He also subscribed largely to every
manufacturing or other business en-
terprise in Triton for development
work or public service
The most beautiful feature of his
existence was his home life. Kind
and gentle as always, he was best in
in his home, where he was best known
best loved, and highest esteemed.
Always public-spirited, broad-mind-
ed, pioneer, he was builder and
developer. Of sturdy stock, his life was
filled with busy days-days that were
full of usefulness to his country and
to his fellow-men.
