history Of Yazoo City, which it certainly has
done more to develop than any other single

His ambition and aims are all conferred in the
building up Of Yazoo City, the aid and en-
courageInent of every one and every enter
prise tending to that object The volume Of
their business has more than kept pace with
the onward march Of the town and In this
respect the Bank Of Yazoo City has been for
some length of time been entitled to claim
priority over many similar institutions. In tile
nature of its operations the bank is metro
3tan, transacting every description Of
legitimate business Its home territory covers
Mississippi, and portions Of other States
Such magnificent results as these could not
have been obtained without the exercise Of
highest care, skill, forethought and acumen
Of the genial President, Mr. Shepherd, ably
assisted by an invaluable corps of assistants.
Little more need be sud. The confidence Of
the whole community has been won and now

He fell asleep, and the horse, which
was probably as tired as the driver, got
into collision with carriage. The
driver of the delivery wagon was
promptly arrested and disgraced, and
the firm discharged him the following
morning for dereliction of duty. The
man had gone to work at 1880 in the
morning, clung to his labor continually
till the last delivery was made, and it
was proved that he had not finished his
work until midnight. Then he fell
