Gard From Mr.. Lucius FriersOn to the
Ruhlin

EDITOR HERALD: May / ask, for
space in your columns for commu-
oication of a personal character? l
feel it due to express my heartfelt
graft de for the confidence reposed
IN me by the depositOrs and creditors
If the Columbia Banking Company,
in placing me back in charge of the
affairs of the bank; for the mag
nanimity and sympathy shown me by
my friends and the people of Maury
County and Columbia, where 1 was
born and have spent my entire life.
This, my first trouble of financial
nature, is to me the severest trial OF
my life, and that of the deepest morti
fication. To attempt an explanation
of the causes of the reverses that
have come upon the bank and forcing
it's suspension, would be unnecessary
in this card. Whatever of errors OF
mismanagement III the way of too
liberal loans and investments on my
part, can only plead came from an
error of judgment and spirit on my
part of help to the people and
desire to build up the town and
county. A kindness of heart and
generosity of feeling, l now realize
is no pailiation for mistakes in bust
ness life.
With an assurance on my part to
wind up the trust reposed in me as
rapidly and to the best of my ability
for the best interest of all concerned
as can, can L not appeal TO those
who are indebted to the bank to come
forward aud pay their Indebtedness,
that may pay over to the depositors
and creditors their dues rs rapidly as
possible?
desire to correct an erroneous i'm
preston that seems to have been
given some credence in the cOmmu-
nifty. That / am in some way con-
nected with the Maury Bank and
Trust Co., the new bank, which is
occupying a portion of our building.
Such is not the case. L have no in
terest in 1t whatever, only that it
NAV be successful and assist in re-
storing confidence in the disturbed
condition of business affairs in the
county. Nor has the new bank any,
thing whatever to do with, or means
of proffiting by, the assets OF the
suspended bank. The new-iastitu-
ton is Differed and governed by gem
tlemen of the highest character and
financial influence. l agreed to the
occupancy from purely business mo-
tives; that is, of getting monthly
rental TO help save expenses of wind
ing up, and to secure when the pro-
per time came a possible purchaser or
lessee for the property, which is fit
ted peculiarly for banking business.
crave indulgence for this personal
explanation and ask continuance OF
| the kindly feelings and confidence
that has been extended me since my
childhood from the people with
whom have Oeen reared.

WILLIAM A. KITTRELL.

AT his home near Hampshire in
this county Mr.. w. A. Kittrell died
last Monday morning at O'clock, OF
typhoid fever. The funeral services
were conducted Tuesday by Elder
VIM. Anderson. Interment in the
family burying ground.
In the death of Mr.. Kittrell Maury
County loses one of its best citizens.
He was industrious and prosperous;
good neighbOr, kind friend, and
man of unimpeachable integrity. He
was a man who not only looked well
after his own private affairs, but was
enterprising and progressive and took
lively interest in public GU stions
and exerted a considerable Influence
in his neighbcrhood. He was of a
candid, frank disposition, of strong
and Outspoken convictions, and at
the time of his death was q member
of the County Democratic Executive
Committee. His death entails a loss
upon his party and his community,
and the HERALD speaks the senti-
ments of a large class when we truly
deplore his untimely death and ex-
tend our heartfelt sympathy to his
stricken family. A good, influential
man has gone, and his place in
Hampshire will be hard to fill.

engaged ~ Yesterday decorating t
church for the important occasion,
but as the hour for the ceremony IL
our hour of going to press, we are I'M
able to give more of the details than
were contained in our announcement
last week.
This is the elimination of a court
ship of several years, and the blend
ing of two lives peculiarly adapted
aud cOngenial the one to the otner
The groom, though a young man, has
for years fought manly hght IN the
battle of life, and stands to-day the
peer of any man in the county foT
! integrity, energy and sterling worth.
He is one of natures noblemen-
strong, intelligent, moral, manly
courageous, energetic and true.
The bride though modest as the
violet and as refined as pure gold, Is
woman of such strong character ana
pronounced virtues that her reputa-
| ton made in a beautiful home life, is
wider even than her acquaintance
ship. In its joys she is the life OF the
| household; in its sorrows, she Is lts
stay and comfort. As daughter and
sister her life has been one beautiful
! lesson of love and duty.
The bride carried in her hand q
beautiful boquet of mourning white
chrysanthumums (Boul de Neige) the
production Of Mrs. Dortch, of the
! columbia Green House Company.
Such lives blended together must
mean happiness to them both, and
we hope the benedictiOn of the man
of God will start them upon long
journey, with the sunshine OF happl.
ness and the flowers of contentmenI
all along their way.

To the Creditors. of the Bank Of c.
LlGnlbid:
Owing to the pressure of business
following the failure of the Bank OF
Columbia, have not had time to
communicate my high appreciation
of your continued confidence as ex-
hIbited by your soliciting me to wind
up the affairs of the Bank. This Is
the only fact that mitigates my sense
of deep regret and modification of
the trouble that has come upon you.
I am having the books of the Bank
written up as fast as possible and
hope to have them completed in a
few days, and full schedules pre-
pared, showing the precise condition
of the affairs of the Bank. l shall
then ask that committee be selected
from the creditors with authority TO
have the entire affairs of the Bank
thoroughly examined. L beg to state
that 1 treated all depositOrs alike,
and I will take pleasure in giving
any information to them, and the
others creditors which they may de-
sire. w. L. INGRAM.

EDITOR HERALD:-Some days ago
the reporter for the American in Civ
ing an account of the failure of the
Bank of Columbia, stated that L was
one of the largest stock holders of
that institution, and this report has
been widely circulated throughout
the county and elsewhere. wish to
state, in Justice to myself, that sever
al years ago, being at the time in
feeble health, and DESTROYS OF settling
up nv business, sold my stock in the
bank and resigned my position as di-
rector, and from that time to the
present have not had the slightest
financial interest in the bank. 1 will
further state that l never at any time
owned or controlled exceeding one
thousand dollars of the stock.

sIBLEY AND RICE.

That was very happy thought Of
that very happy thinker, EUGENE V.
SMALLEY, when he suggested through
the chamber of commerce that Gen.
SIBLEY should be liOnOred in one of the
states memorial inches at the national
capitol. The GLOBE is glad. to see that
the alert ana witty representative from
Minneapolis, Mr.. REEVE. has followed
up the suggestion by a resolution intro
duced in the house to the same purport.
No other man will ever be produced by
this commonwealth in honoring whom
Minnesota will SO honor itse If. He was
grand old man, handsome, able and
strong, whose memory will last as long
as the state stands.
st. Paul ought to honor him in some
way, too. 1t has been suggested that it
might be we'll to give his name to the
park in lower town near which he lived
LAFAYETTE rendered this country good
service, and Lafayette park is an appro-
pirate name for public square, but St
Paul owes much more to HENRY H.
SIBLEY than it does TO Gen. LAFAY-
ETTE. With Sibley park in lower town
and Rice park in the center of the city
we shall be cherishing the memory of
two of our greatest men. Some time in
the future each of these squares can be
adorned with heroic statues of the
patriots whose names they bear. Thus
the record of their deeds and the slim
illus of their examples can be made
perennial,
