president of the Arkansas State Medical Associa- tion, which position he honorably filled for one term. Soon after coming here he was appointed school examiner, which position he still fills. He organized the public schools of the county, which are now a credit to any community. In 1878 he was elected to the legislature without canvass, and re-elected in 1882, serving two terms with honor. The Doctor has been a valuable citizen to Hot Springs, and has done much in building up its great future. In 1883 he was appointed presi- dent of the board of health. and after serving a year or two resigned, and in June, 1887, he was again appointed with enlarged powers, being chief executive health officer and president of the board of health which consists of himself and two con- sulting members. He was appointed by the United States Government as pension surgeon in the same year, and is now president of the board of surgeons at Hot Springs. He is also president of the Hot Springs Medical Society at this time. He was married in 1859 to Miss Lou Watt, a na- tive of South Carolina, and the fruits of this union are three living children: Linda H., Nita and Pat L. One son, H. Walter, died in October, 1887.

of the most prominent families, and his ancestor, William T. Barry, was the originator of the system of Democratic National Conventions. The first convention held was when Andrew Jackson was nominated for president, and for his services Will- iam T. Barry was made postmaster-general in Jackson's Cabinet.

George Belding, retired merchant, Hot Springs. Ark., an honored and much respected gentleman, was born in Hot Springs (now Garland) County, August 14, 1832, and is one of four children: Maria (wife of William H. Gaines), Albert (in Little Rock), Henry (in Texas), and George, born to Ludovicus and Lydia (Bassett) Belding, both natives of Massachusetts. The parents came first to Kentucky, thence to Indiana, and in 1828 to Arkansas, where they located at Hot Springs, in what is now Garland County. They came through in wagons, and when the county was very thinly settled. The family settled in Hot Springs, re- mained there a year or two, and then moved to the farm near the Ouachita River, in what is now Sulphur Township, where the father died in 1833. He left a widow and four children. George Beld- ing was the youngest of this family, and remained on the farm until 1852, when he removed to Hot Springs with his mother, who died in the winter of 1864. The Belding family gained considerable notoriety in lawing with the Government and indi- viduals for the Hot Springs. George bought the place where he now lives, in 1858, and built a log- house in which he still lives. This is one of the oldest landmarks in Hot Springs, and Mr. Belding is one of the oldest native-born residents now liv- ing in Garland County. During the war he went to Texas, and remained a resident of that State for some time. In 1853 he engaged in the mercantile business, and carried it on until 1861, but in the spring of 1866 he began again, and continued at this until 1871. Since that time he has not been engaged in any regular business. When he first located at the Springs, there were about 200 in- habitants, and he has since witnessed the marvel- ous growth and improvement of the place. He owns almost a block of business buildings, nearly in the center of the city. In his early life he was

a Whig in politics, but he is now a Democrat. He was married in 1859, to Miss Amanda Irons, a native of Missouri, who bore him eleven children, six now living: Bettie, George R., Augustus G., Almond B., Selma L. and Fannie G. Mrs. Belding is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

W. P. Blake, dealer in jewelry, Hot Springs, Ark. In all the wide range of industrial enter- prises, there is no industry of greater importance than that of watches and jewelry. In this line are a number of the leading citizens and merchants engaged, among whom may be found the substan- tial and representative establishment conducted by W. P. Blake. Mr. Blake is originally from Farmington, Me., and the son of R. K. Blake, also a native of the Pine Tree State. John M. Blake, an uncle of the subject of this sketch, was also a Maine man, and came to Hot Springs in 1869, where he established the first jewelry store of the place. He continued the business until his death, which occurred in July, 1887. He learned his trade at Winthrop, Me., and was extensively en- gaged in that business at the time of his death. William P. Blake then took charge of the business, and this he still continues. They carry the largest stock of jewelry in Hot Springs, and it will invoice at about $20,000. W. P. Blake learned his trade at Kokomo, Ind., and about 1873 came to Hot Springs, where he has since resided. He is a member of the Masonic order, also of the Knights of Pythias, and has passed through all the chairs of the last-named order. He is a thorough gentle- man, and courteous and genial to all customers.

Augustine W. Borland, whose prominence as a business man has become widely established, deals in groceries, also grain, produce, hay, etc., in Hot Springs. His place is situated on Central Avenue, and he first established his business in 1879, start- ing in with but very little capital. He now owns a stock worth $4,000, and has a large trade, besides two good business blocks and two other valuable lots. Mr. Borland is an active, straightforward and honest business man, whose word is as good as his bond, and he is quoted as an authority in commercial circles. He first commenced in life as a farm hand, and has gained his present substan-

tial position in the world hy strict attention to bus- iness and natural ability for it. He was born in Randolph County, Ga., in 1854, and is a son of Quintillion and Rachel (Stevenson) Borland. When Augustine was three years old the parents moved to Dale County, Ala., where the mother died in 1874. The father was a soldier in the Confederate army, and was killed during the Seven Days' bat- tle in Virginia. Ten sons and four daughters were born to the parents, of whom seven sons are living and three dead; all of the daughters are yet living. Besides being iu the army himself, the father had three brothers and four sons who also served under the Confederate flag. One of the surviving sons, Judge E. J. Borland, was judge of the probate court at Geneva County, Ala., for a great many years. Augustine W. Borland was reared on his parents' farm and educated in the common country schools, receiving most of his education after at- taining his maturity. When twenty-two years of age he came to Hot Springs and worked as a farm hand, and later on clerked in a country store for a few years. He afterward established himself in the grocery business on a small scale at Hot Springs, which he increased as time went by, until it has assumed its present proportions, giving an evidence of the pluck and enterprise characteristic of Mr. Borland's nature. He is now one of the leading merchants and most popular citizens of Hot Springs. In politics Mr. Borland is a stanch Democrat, and cast his first presidential vote for Tilden, in 1876.

John H. Crawford, a prominent merchant of Johnstown, Garland County, was born in Georgia in 1842. John A. Crawford, Sr., his father, first saw the light of day in South Carolina, about 1812, and while growing up, received but a limited edu- cation, though familiarizing himself with the mer- cantile business. He moved to Georgia when a small boy, and in 1838 was married to Emily Hill, a native of that State. They were the parents of eight children: James M. (deceased), John H., Susan A. (the wife of Thomas H. White), David (deceased), William H., Charles, Walter and Lean- drew (deceased). Mr. Crawford left Georgia for Arkansas in 1859, and though having been very

successful in the mercantile business, he located on a farm in Drew County. In 1863 he moved to Texas, where he bought land, on which he lived until his death, in 1867. He belonged to the Ma- sonic order, and was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Mrs. Crawford's father was a native of Georgia, and a farmer by occupa- tion. John H. Crawford started out in life in the mercantile business, in 1867. He was educated in the private schools of Georgia, and in 1861 enlisted in the First Arkansas Infantry, under Capt. James A. Jackson, participating in all of the principal battles. He was taken prisoner at Nashville, Tenn., and held about three months. He was on his way home while on a furlough at the time of the sur- render. Mr. Crawford married Caroline Tool, a daughter of George Tool, of Mississippi, and to them seven children were born: Emily J. (now Mrs. Berry), Susan L., Charles D., William H., George and Carrie. Mrs. Crawford died in 1883. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Mr. Crawford took for his second wife Miss Fannie Cason, daughter of A. B. Cason, of Jefferson County, Ark., in 1884. They were the parents of one child, named Walter, who is now deceased. Mr. Crawford's business career in Johnstown, adjoining Hot Springs, dates from 1888, when he formed a partnership with J. L. Lloyd. They are now enjoying an encouraging patronage. Mr. and Mrs. Crawford are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.

Dr. J. T. Fairchild is owner of the famous Fairchild Potash Sulphur Springs, located seven miles southeast of Hot Springs, and one mile from Lawrence, a station on the Little Rock Railroad. This celebrated health and pleasure resort, which has gained a national reputation. has been for the past five years under the able management and proprietorship of Mr. E. E. Woodcock, a son-in-law of Dr. Fairchild. The grounds are fitted up with everything imaginable to make them pleasant and attractive for the hundreds of guests who gather there at all seasons. An elegant hotel is found, with bath-house, billiard-room and bowling-alley, dancing-halls and spring-houses, from which Cu- pid has played many pranks with the suscepti-

ble. The hotel also contains a postoffice, and has telephone connections with Hot Springs and Little Rock. The scenery is beautiful, the mountains forming a picturesque background, and the cli- mate is healthful and salubrious. It is a paradise for hunters, as game is found in plenty, and the piscatorial artist has his hands full when fishing in the Ouachita River. The wide reputation of these springs is constantly increasing, as stories of the wonderful cures performed are brought to notice. It is estimated that 10,000 people visit these annu- ally for physical relief, irrespective of the number who come for pleasure. When Dr. Fairchild first became their possessor, in 1849, the accommoda- tions consisted of only a few rude log-houses, but through his persistent energy, and a desire to ben- efit the public, he has succeeded in making it one of the most noted and attractive resorts in the Southwest, and by his continued efforts, in conjunc- tion with Mr. Woodcock, its present proprietor, it will in a few years be a suburb of Hot Springs. Dr. Fairchild is a pleasant and interesting gentle- man, an untiring worker, and a man of resources for every emergency. He is well known through- out Central Arkansas, where he has resided for forty years, and is one of its most influential and respected citizens. The Doctor's birth-place is in the Hudson River country, New York State, and he was born in 1815. The youngest of four chil- dren born to his parents, he was reared on a farm until attaining his sixteenth year, being educated in the common schools and the village academy, after which he studed medicine for several years, with the intention of being a druggist. In the year 1845 he came to Arkansas, intending to enter the drug business, and brought his mother with him, his father having died the year before. He located at Batesville, where his mother died the following year; but instead of following the drug business, he commenced practicing medicine. He remained at Batesville for two years, and then moved to Camden, where he continued his practice until the year 1849. The following year he came to Hot Springs, and since that time has been resid- ing at what is now known as the Fairchild Potash Sulphur Springs, where he owns about 320 acres

of land in connection with the springs. For twen- ty years he practiced his profession with great success, and at the end of that time abandoned it. Since then he has lived a somewhat retired life. Dr. Fairchild was married, in 1847, to Elizabeth, a daughter of Joseph Hardin, of Kentucky, who was one of the earliest settlers of Lawrence County, Ark., and afterward one of its wealthy and re- spected citizens. Mr. Hardin was sheriff of Law- rence County at a period when the nearest place of imprisonment to which he could take his pris- oners was at Little Rock. His father, Benjamin Hardin, was a notable man in the early history of Kentucky, and an associate of Davy Crockett. Mrs. Fairchild. a woman of accomplishment, died Oc- tober 1, 1860, a devout Christian. Three daugh- ters were born to Dr. and Mrs. Fairchild, of whom only one is yet living, Fannie, wife of Mr. E. E. Woodcock. In politics Dr. Fairchild is a Democrat, as were his father and grandfather be- fore him. His parents were Benjamin and Fran- Sina (Mills) Fairchild, of Bedford and Chatham, N. Y., respectively, the father residing in his na- tive State all his life, and dying in 1844. He was a well-to-do farmer and dairyman, and of English- Irish origin. Many of his family are yet living, and scattered throughout the country, some of them attaining great prominence in public and professional life.

William Farr was born in Henry County, Ala., July 14, 1837, and was the son of Insell Farr and Narusus McCloud, natives of Edgecombe County, S. C., and Henry County, Ala., respectively. The former was born August 12, 1781, and the latter June 19, 1816. He was of Scotch-Irish descent, and was a blacksmith, wood-worker and silversmith by trade, being also engaged in the mercantile business in Henry County, Ala., for a short time. Emigrating from South Carolina to Georgia, he carried on blacksmithing. and later went to Ala- bama in 1830. In 1850 he moved from Alabama to Florida. His first wife was Mary Smith, of Georgia, who became the mother of ten children: Tillman, Anderson, Larkin, James, Columbus, Toliver, Mary, Margaret, Darkes and Susan. Mrs. Farr's death occurred about 1830. In 1835 Mr.

Mr. Farr was in the Indian War of 1835. His death occurred in Washington County, Fla., in 1857, his wife dying in Jackson County, that State, in 1862. William Farr began work for himself by hewing timber, after which he followed the carpen- ter's trade, and was subsequently employed as overseer of an extensive plantation in Florida. He was educated in the common schools of Florida, where he was afterward married to Miss Sarah L. Murphy, daughter of Batt Murphy, in 1868. They have eight children, four boys and four girls: William T., James I., Lydia L., Nannie E., Daniel J., Martha N., John S., and Mary J. Upon leaving Florida Mr. Farr came to Arkansas, April 24, 1871, and located in what is at this time Garland County, where he bought a quarter-sec- tion of land, thirty-five acres of it now being under cultivation. Mrs. Farr was born in Georgia in 1849. Her father married Elizabeth Joiner, also a native of Georgia, in 1841, and they became the parents of five children, three boys and two girls: James, Stephen, Charles, Sarah and Martha (wife of W. D. L. Boswell). Mr. Murphy died in Georgia in 1852. Mr. Farr is a member of the Masonic order, and he and his wife are both members of the Missionary Baptist Church. Mrs. Farr is an act- ive worker and member of the Union Temperance Society. They are well known and highly re- spected hereabouts.

Dr. Sidney W. Franklin, Hot Springs, Ark. It is the prerogative of the physician to relieve or alleviate the ailments to which suffering humanity is prone, and as such he deserves the most grateful consideration of all. A prominent physician and surgeon, who by his own abilities has attained dis- tinction in his profession, is Dr. Sidney W. Frank- lin. This gentleman was born in Columbus, Miss., April 22, 1843, and was educated at Union Uni- versity, Murfreesboro, Tenn., also graduating in medicine from the University of New York, in 1861. He was then a surgeon for four years in the Confederate service, being in charge of the hos-

pitals at Columbia, Tenn., and at Raymond, Miss., and was also in the field. In 1865 he located at Mobile, but removed from that place to Colum- bus, Miss., in 1866, and thence to Hot Springs, in 1871. His specialty is diseases of the genito-uri- nary organs. He was a member of the Mississippi State Medical Society, and was secretary of the Lowndes County Medical Society of Mississippi. He is a member of the Arkansas State Medical Society and secretary of the Hot Spring and Gar- land County Medical Society. He was elected county surgeon of Lowndes County, Miss., for 1867 and 1868. In January, 1870, his marriage to Miss Kate, daughter of John C. Daugherty, of Memphis, Tenn., took place, and the result of this union has been one, child, John, who is now a law student of the University of Virginia. The Doc- tor is a Royal Arch Mason. His parents, Sidney S. and Ann E. (Campbell) Franklin, were natives of New York and Tennessee, respectively. They were married in Mississippi, and reared a large family of children, only four now living: Dr. S. W., Thomas, Cornell and Malcomb. The father, a graduate of the University of New York, was also a graduate of Yale College, as well as of an institution in Paris. He was a very noted physi- cian, and died in Columbus, Miss., in 1885.

Capt. C. W. Fry, superintendent of Hot Springs Bath House Association, Hot Springs, Ark. Among all classes and in every condition of life are those who excel in whatever they undertake, whether of a professional, agricultural or commercial nature, and no matter how disagreeable the outlook on starting life, they are sure to eventually reach the front and receive a share of the honor and credit due them. Capt. Fry was born in Orange County, Va., May 1, 1842, and is the son of Philip S. and Pamelia M. (Anderson) Fry, the former born in 1801, and died in 1859, and the latter born in 1810, and died in 1872. They reared a family of six sons. Capt. C. W. Fry attended the academy at Orange Court House, and graduated from that institution in 1859. He then came to Arkansas, taught school in Chicot County for eighteen months, and then returned to his native State, where he donned his suit of gray and entered the Confed-

erate service as lieutenant of field artillery. He was promoted to the rank of captain in' the fall of 1862, and in the spring of 1865 he was raised to the rank of major of artillery. After the close of the war he returned to Chicot County, Ark., en- gaged as civil engineer and was employed by the planters in the construction of levees to protect them from the overflow of the Mississippi River. He remained thus engaged until 1878, when he came to Hot Springs, and embarked in the real-es- tate business. He was appointed circuit court clerk by the Governor in 1879 to fill an unexpired term. and since that time he has been engaged in his present position. He married Fannie Davies in 1867, but she died in 1870. He has two children : Fannie D. and William.

Maj. William H. Gaines, one of the prominent pioneers of Hot Springs, Ark., was born near Charleston, Va., June 30, 1797, and is a son of Abner and Elizabeth (Matthews) Gaines, both na- tives of England. Three Gaines brothers came from England at an early day, and one of them, Abner, settled in Kentucky, taught school, and in connection carried on farming. He died in Boone County of that State, and there his wife also passed her last days. Their family consisted of twelve children, eight sons and four daughters, only three of whom are now living, two sisters and Maj. William H. Gaines. The last-named was reared in Kentucky, and owing to the scarcity of schools received but a limited education. At the age of fifteen years he began learning the black- smith trade, and served his time, but was obliged to go to school two months in order to be able to keep accounts. He carried on his trade in Boone County for about twelve years, and manufactured wagons, carts, tools of all kinds, shipped them South, and was extensively engaged in the manu- facturing trade. In 1830 he settled in Chicot County, Ark., which was six years previous to the date of the State's admission into the Union, and at that time very thinly settled. He then em- barked in farming and raising cotton, which he carried on extensively until the slaves were made free, when he lost heavily. He was the owner of 165 slaves, old and young, and after the war he

tried to continue his farming operations but was compelled to give it up, thus losing a vast amount of money, besides losing considerable by endors- ing his friends' notes. In 1851 he removed to Hot Springs, where he has since made his home. At that time there were but few houses, and all of them open summer houses. Previous to his re- moval to the springs he had visited the place sev- eral times for his health, and at last took up his residence there. The Major was in poor circum- stances for awhile after the war, but he was not a man to give up easily, and he soon retrieved his fallen fortune. He was first married in 1819 to Miss Litha Early, by whom he has one child liv- ing: Virenda, wife of George W. Sappington. Mrs. Gaines died in 1828, and in the spring of 1849 he married Miss Maria Belding, who bore him seven children, all married but one, a daughter, at home. His second wife was one of the heirs to the Belding property, which was in litigation for many years, but finally the property went to the Government. It was through the Major's in- fluence that the suits were closed. He had an act passed in Congress authorizing Gaines, Rector and Hale to sue the Government; thus it was set- tled. The Major has done much to improve Hot Springs, is the owner of a great amount of real estate, and one of the wealthiest men of the county, although he spent a great deal of money on the property which the Government won from him. He was postmaster at Gaines' Landing on the Mississippi River, when it was worth abont $5 per quarter. He has never been an office seeker, and his life has been spent in speculating and buy- ing real estate. He is now in his ninety second year, but is quite active and vigorous for his years. He has a wonderful memory, and can get on his horse and ride back and forward to the city. He owns Gaines' Block, a fine brick structure in which the bank is located, and of which one of his sons, A. B. Gaines, is president. His eldest daugh- ter, Fannie G. (wife of C. S. Williamson), Au- gusta L. (wife of S. H. Stitt), and the youngest daughter, Mary P. Gaines (unmarried), reside in Hot Springs; William H., Jr. (the eldest boy), re- sides in Palo Pinto, Tex .; one daughter, Lonisa

Dr. John H. Gaines, Hot Springs, Ark. The subject of this sketch needs no introduction to the people of Garland County, for although a resident of the same only since 1885. in that brief space of time he has acquired a substantial reputation as a representative physician, and one who is exactly suited for his profession. He was born in Adams County, Miss., on March 7, 1831, and is a son of Richard M. Gaines, a native of the Blue Grass State, and a very prominent lawyer. The elder Gaines was appointed by Andrew Jackson as United States district attorney for Mississippi, also represented his county in Arkansas in the legisla- ture, and held many important offices. He died in Chicot County, Ark. The maiden name of the Doctor's mother was Eliza Hutchins. She was born in Mississippi, and there her death occurred. Dr. John H. Gaines was reared in Mississippi, and received the principal part of his education at Danville, Ky., where he graduated in 1849. In 1850 he began the study of medicine and gradu- ated from that famous institution, the University of Louisiana, in 1853, after which he began prac- ticing in Chicot County, Ark., and there remained for a short time. He then went to Missouri, but not liking the State he returned to Chicot County. In 1862 he went out as surgeon in the Confederate army, and served until the surrender. In Febru- ary, 1885, he came to Hot Springs, where he has since been actively engaged in his profession. He is a member of the State Medical Society and American Medical Association. In 1854 he was united in marriage to Miss Helen Foushee, a na- tive of Virginia, and the fruits of this union are five living children.
