this article. While his home is
in another county, he is a r 4 l,as *
ntizen of J ncs and has largo in-
forests here.- Besides being
President of our two batiks ho lias
other interests nod with prop* 1
encouragement stands ready to in-
vest in other enterprises. His rep-
ntation is not confined to tlni bor-
ders of the stute, and tbo Atlanta
dail/thuu speaks of him :
One of the strong and vital lac-
tors in the movement which hus
resulted 111 giving up something
like adequate prices for nur
],l« crop is John D Walker, of
Sparta, Oa. It would l.e difficult
to over estimate tint value of
work he has done on behalf of the
farmers of the South.
That the .Southern Cotton As¬
sociation lias done good work is
no longer a matter of debate. The
fict is thoroughly established.
And in connection with this work,
too much cannot be said in praise
of Mf Walker, who succeeded in
raising iflO,000 for the purpose of
carrying on the work.
The fact is, that Mr Walker has
had n most remarkable career.
During the thirty-four years of
his life ho has accomplished mere
than many a man of twice his
nge. While it was the desire 0 !
his frii nds that he complete his
education hy taking a thorough
university course, lie prrferred to
enter the commercial world, and
at the ago ot thirteen he entered
the business 11 re mi,
Mr Walker was born iu Angus-
ta—the homo of so many pro-
pressive hu-iuoss men and
many chivaliic gentlemen,
parents were Col C V Walker and
Lucy Pen rent) Walkt-y. His
er was the grand daughter
Freeman Walker, who was
lirst mayor of Augusta, and
member of the United Stales son
nte. John D Walker is the grand
i.ephuw of Geo W 11 1 \\ ulk'T anil
Major John David Walker,
being named for tho latter,
largo silver medals presented
M/ij.ir Walker for his bravery in
tlie M xicmi war are now in
possession of Hon Jno D
which lie naturally cherishes us
in valuable heirlooms.
The mind of yjtntg
turned etuly toward finance
and ho became what
probably the youngest bank
r.,r in the United States, or at
lasst in tho South. When only
liinetf'en years of ago ho was giv-
on a position with the R A
bunk nt Sparta, where lm has
► incu made his homo. From
lime of Mr Walter’s acceptance
of this position until the death of
1 he proprietor h<* luld a pos'tion
next iii importance to the presi¬
dent himself. Immediately fol¬
lowing the death of Mr Graves,
Mr Walker became pr< sideut.
Ever since Mr Walker moved
to Sparta he lias identified him-
ei If with the progress and devel¬
opment of his adopted home. By
pluck, energy and character In-
lias become a mail of wealth and
in finance. At the early age of 22
lie was cashier of tho Graves
batik, treasurer of Hancock coun¬
ty, treasurer of the town of Spur-
ids, and president and general
inn linger of the Sparta Brick com _
pUllV,
Twelve years ago he was mar-
ried to Miss Christine Berry, of
Bnafta, and three charming ehil-
<ii"ii now bless their home.
Mr R A Graves bestowed upon
honor hy making him at lus . r".' death
the s d« executor of his largo- is-!
tats, am'iiuiing to moru than j
$100,000, a trust which Mi Wal-j
ker is stilt discharging. j

games does not rest w ith fate or
destiny, but with you. You
take the trick if vou have the su-
penor energy, ability , , and , , .

have tho power within yourself to
change the value of tho curds

your training, upon the way you
are disciplined to sieze and use
your opportunities and upon your
ability to put grit in the place of
superior advantages.
Just because .circumstances do
sometimes give clients to lawyers
and patients to physicians, put
commonplace clergy in uncom¬
mon pulpits nndjplace tire sons of
the rich at the head of great cor-
porations even when they have
only average ability and scarcely
any experience, while poor youths
with greater abilrty and moie ex-

situations, and you are justified
in starting out without a charter
