Recently he was elected Secretary of the Exchange for the gixtieth year, and despite his age of;84 he still has a keen perspective of the cotton situation. “Hester says"” carries as , much and his statistics are sought in all parts of the world wherevey, there is trading in cotton. Without fail for Hester has produced his reports on which cotton men rely and he ex- pects to continue his reports for some time to come. Born November 18, 1846, Hester launcned his career as a newspaper reporter handling business news. When the New Orleans cotton ex- change was organized in 1871 he was drafted as its secretary and has occupied that post since with- out interruption. He is a man of frugal habits and a sunny disposition. His philosophy of life is this: “After all life is spiritual and ‘as man thinketh so he is’ When a man commences tothink he is old, he is old.” This philosophy has carried Hes- ter through life and made his trade sayings the gospel of the cotton world. | ——————— DR, ALFARO IS VET.
