    C. A. ARNETT. Real Estate Broker, born at Triana, Madison County, Ala.,
March 12, 1838, and his parents were Thomas and Mathilda (Cole) Arnett, of
Virginia, and descended from the French.

    The senior Arnett married before leaving Virginia, and died in Alabama, when
the subject of this sketch was an infant.

    Mr. Arnett was educated in Madison County and lived there until 1869. When a
young man he began the study of medicine, but gave it up, and, in 1854, engaged
in mercantile business at Triana, where he was at the outbreak of the war. He
came to Athens in 1875 and engaged in business; was elected Mayor of the city in
1887; has been secretary of the Limestone Agricultural Association since 1884,
and has served the town many years as its clerk and treasurer. He was appointed
by Gov. Houston, July, 1877, assistant commissioner of emigration, and proved
himself of great efficiency in that department.
