He established his home then at Double Springs, with his office faithfully and efficiently in his first term. For several years after retiring from the sheriff's office he was engaged in the mercantile business at Double Springs; he then became a public official as cattle inspector, his practical knowledge of livestock made him valuable in this office until he was again elected sheriff.
