low down price is matter Of great
Importance and benefit to them. In

nent manufacturers. This firm has
been in operation for period of five
years, and since that time they have,
by industry, perseverance, good ma

preaching when the carpenter and

simple and durable in its construction.

it has given entire satisfaction. The
goods handled by this firm are, in

Failure Of a Texas Bank.

Quite an excitement has prevailed
this week among our citizens over
the failure of the Abilene bank last
Saturday. Several citizens of Arson
and Jones county had money therein
on deposit, which we are fearful they
will lose entirely. Mr.. Potts, living
two miles southwest of Arson, had
$1,000 on deposit, and if he loses that
he will be completely broken up, as
5 all his effects were in cash. Proba-
bly, the heaviest loss sustained by the
break, was that of Mr.. Jno. B. Bell,
of Hopkinsville, Ky, who had just
sold out his effects in that place, and
moved to Abilene but week before
the failure. Unluckily for him he
placed his all ($l40OW in the Abilene
bank and lost the whole. The failure
will be felt by many of our citizens,
which will perhaps teach them a
good lesson, and that is to keep their
surplus cash out of little one horse
bank that has no visible backing.
-Anson (Tex.) Western, Feb. IL.
This estimate of Mr.. Jno. B. Bells
loss is undoubtedly largely over-esti-
mated, as we are informed by Mr..
Bells bankers here that he took only
about $1,000 in cash with him, $4,000
of that in drafts to use only in case Of
an emergency. We regret to learn
that Mr.. Bell has sustained any loss,
but these figures cannot be within
$4,000 of the truth, unless he took
money with him that had not been
deposited in bank here, and this il
not at all probable.

Phillips Dead.

In our telegraphic department this
morning will be found only meager details
of the last illness and death Of Wendell
Phillips. He was truly 8 great man and a
Representative American. His name is
familiar to every citizen OF this country in
the history OF which he has been in several
epochs a very conspicuous figure. He was
q thorough scholar and a powerful orator.
1t is doubtful il this country, at least, has
ever produced his superior in the
latter respect. The writer remembers
hearing him in his grand lecture on
Daniel O'Connell," fifteen years
age. II is a pleasure never to be
forgotten. Before the magnificent old
man uttered a word, the audience had
already been captured by his very personal
appearance. The effect of his discourse
was overwhelming, yet delightful. For
hours the great audience hung upon his
charmful words. The chief popularity in
Mr.. Phillips oratory was that he never
seemed to exert himself mentally or
physically while speaking. He appeared
to have q ''reserve power" which he never
needed to call forth. Those who listened
to him felt las the orator said he hims
self felt in listening to Daniel O'Connell,
the subject OF his lecture): 90 that he
could only display his power just once"
We would risk being crushed to witness
the majestic spectacle.
