	HARRIS T. TEAGUE, farmer, Paris, Ark. The subject of
this sketch is a native of Alabama, born June 24, 1848, and
from an early age he was trained to the duties of farm life.
Owing to the breaking out of the war his educational advantages
were limited, and when twenty years of age he started out for
himself as an agriculturist, renting land in Logan County,
where he continued successfully for three years. He then bought
railroad claim near Paris, and there he now lives. This place he
has improved by erecting a house and a large barn, the latter
50x52 feet, and he is now preparing to build a large and commodious
dwelling, 18x38, with an L 20x14 feet, and having six rooms. His
farm now consists of 200 acres under a good state of cultivation
and 200 acres under fence. He was married in 1876 to Mrs. Grounds,
of this county, but formerly of Tenn., and they have James R.,
Claudie T., Esther and Myrtle, all at home and attending the
public schools. The father of our subject, A.A. Teague, was in
the Confederate Army for about two years. He then returned to
Alabama, and from there moved to the Lone Star State, where he
resides at the present time. Harris T. Teague is quite deeply
interested in stock-raising, and has some fine mules and horses
as well as cattle. The farm is well kept and has the appearance
of thrift and enterprise. His crops are principally corn and
cotton. Mr. and Mrs. Teague value an education far above what
is customary in some of the rural districts, and are determined
that their children shall have the advantages of the very best
schools within their reach. The family are members of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, and are liberal in their support of all worthy
movements. Mr. Teague is wide-awake and enterprising, and is an
honored and highly-esteemed citizen.
