He was a great friend of the railroads and was prompt to attend the many meetings held here looking to the bringing ol railroad lines to this place. No meeting of this character seemed complete without him, and his arguments werealwats listened to with that attention always uivt n a man of experience and good judgment. lapl. ragg was a man of verv ex tended acquaintance and his friends art irgion. He was ot splendid physique and an enthusiastic lover of the chase He had manv excellent qualities, a kind heart that did not withhold sympathy when it was needed, a warm friend to those who hud cultivated his friendship and a man whose business iudgmeir carried with it great weight.
