The Mt. Sterling National Bank.

This well-known institution pre-
sents to-day its forty first semi-annual
statement to its stockholders. The
history of this popular corporation in
stitution has been one to which its
officials can point with pride. The
bank declared a semi-annual dividend
of 4 per cent, and shows TO its stock
holders and depositors how well they
are secured. Mr.. Pierce Winn, the
present Cashier, is pardonably proud
of the splendid statement he is able to
maze to the people, and for him We
ask a careful perusal of it.

AN IRISH LOTS WIFE"


She Was q Wicked Creature and Now
Wears Unique Costume.
A curious legend is attached to a
strange monument which stands in q
solitary spot near Bantry Ireland. II
is natural rock standing upward Of
six feet in height, and containing five
basin-like holiows on its surface. In
each basin Is a long, oval stone.
1t is said that ',onee upon time" q
woman lived in that neighhorhood
who was in the habit Of robbing the
farmers throughout the district. In
the dead of night she used to enter
their barns, milk their cows and trans
fer from each dairy as much butter as
she could carry.
The good Saint Frachna, conscious OF
her depredations, resolved to punish
the woman. Tfe mounted his horse
and pursued her as she was leaving
one Of the farms. 0vertaking the cul.
prit he changed her into stone, and she
stands there to this day, a monument
of righteous retribution. The stone
basins are those in which she wa'
carrying the milk, and the pieces o.
rock in each are said to be the butter
she had stolen The tree beside ths
rock grew out Of the spansel Will
whicHSRhe was accustomed to tie thu
cows legs before milking them ,rhi'
curious legend is known and believed
by all the peasants in the district.

The whale II destined to disappear
from the North Pacific much more
speedily than he was driven from the
eastern approaches to the Arctic. The
whale feet sailing out Of the port Of
San Francisco last year caught in
the Arctic regions no less than three
hundred and fifty three whales. The
product nf last seasons catch would
have been represented by about two
million dollars had prices remained as
they were about three years ago,
When one small steamer takes sixty
two whales in a single season, and o
still smaller one kills sixty5fonr, there
is d striking Illustration of what steam
is doing for the determination Of the
whale III the Pacific. There will be no
restriction. The whale fishery BY sail

profitable. What the sailing craft
