He is a son of Col. Ebon Douglas, a prominent lawyer of that section and his early boyhood was spent on the farm in Coweta county, lie came to Madison in 1800 and for several years hold the positiou of bookkeeper in Mr. J.

Notwithstanding the gonornl depression in business and the discouraging outlook at the time, ho has by keeping nothing but new and fresh goods, selling at tho lowest pricos and guaranteeing everything strictly as represented, attracted to his counters a most encouraging volume of trade that is gradually assuming larger and more important proportions.With nothing to start on,, he has by close uttontion to busiuess, industry, economy, uniform courtosy to ull, and Dually, by keeping everlastingly at it, risen from the place of uu bumble clerk to the sole ownership of one of the most promineut grocery houses in Madison.It might be added thut useful conclusions could be drawn from these few facts by young men who are always waiting for somethiug to turu up to better their condition. The same measure of success attuiuod by Mr. Douglas is possible with others who adopt the same methods.
