JAMES JEROME HILL
"Agree with Jim Hill or kill him,” an .
expression made l>y a man wh« once tried !
to change Hill's mind on an important 1
Question, portrays accurately the char-1
acter of one of the greatest empire build
ers of history. When he had reached a ■
conclusion, that was the end of all argu- ;
ment, and then with an indomitable will I
and almost limitless energy he compelled 1
his decision to be right.
From farmer boy in Ontario to coal
shoveler on the docks at St Paul; from
coal shoveler to mud-clerk, and from
mud-clerk to railway president and mil- I
lionaire, the same irresis table force has |
carried him on from success to success '
and demonstrated beyond a doubt his
great genius as a master of men and
means.
Ineverything he did, he was Intensely
practical. After falling In love with a.
waitress at Ure Old Merchants Hotel in
St. Paul, he sent her to school to qualify
her to become the wife of the future
magnate which he expected to be.

Irby Spell Hurt
by Fall From Loft
i While throwing- down hay from the
I loft over the stables of his father, Mr.
W. H. Spell, last Saturday morning,
Irby, his little son, fell through the
skudder hole of the loft to the ground,
and for a time it was thought that he
was seriously hurt, but beyond a fright
and pretty heavy shake up, he came
out without being hurt. The flooring
of the stables is composed of clay and
had the boy not fallen on a bunch of
hay, that happened to be as it was,
he would have been broken up. He is
doing well, however, and the soreness
will soon disappear.

Some Old Relics Kept
Oy The Fordham Family
Perhaps some of the oldest relics, of
their kind, are kept by Judge J. M.
Fordham of this place. They are a
walking cane and powder flask, owned
by his grandfather, nearly a hundred
yearsago. The powder flask is a gourd,
shaped while young by being grown
between two plank, and it tapers off
at the and and forms an ideal powder
flask, like those used in the days of the
muzzle loading guns, The cane is made
of rosewood, neatly desgned and
carved These relics were handed
down from three generations and
Judge Fordham prizes them very
highly, and they will likely be prized
by generations handed down from him,
They have been well preserved aud
there is no telling how long they wiP
remain in the Fordham family.

Martin went down to Savannah last
Saturday afternoon and accompanied
Dr. Fordham home Sunday morning.
Dr. Fordham had been in the sani
tarium there for several weeks. His

not regained use of his iimbs. He is
i apidly gaining his strength, however,

be out soon.
The formal announcement of Mr.

the office of Treasurer of Wheeler

be selected. He has handled the busi
ness connected with his office in a busi
