The grand jury, after hearing the evil
dence on the part OF the state, refused to
prefer an Indictment against Mr.. d.. p.
DOTS for shooting Mr.. Thomas Boyle.
Tn shooting occurred at Alma recently,
and was deeply regretted by the friends of
both parties. Mr.. Boyle was not expected
to live for several days after the shooting,
but has since recovered from his wound
and is again able to be out. He was in
Lexington Monday.
In another column will be found the
magnificent financial statement of the
condition OF the Commercial bank of
Lexington, one of the strongest financial
institutions OF the state. An Investiga-
ton of this statement shows the bank to
be as strong as good fnauciering could
make any bank, and surely entities the
Commercial to be called a "Gibralter of
finance" A glance at it's deposits tells
the story OF the confidence that is reposed
in the institution by hundred of deposit
tors. The deposits are over $3.50 900, or
nearly 50 per capita OF the population of
the entire county. The population of the
county is in round Numbers 10000, and
combining the capital stock with the I'M
divided profits and deposits and dividing
the money that is in this bank equally
among the citizens of Lafayette county,
it would give every man, woman and
child in the county about S11 80. 1t is in
deed a strong showing for one bank in a
county where there are sixteen good bank
ing institutions. The affairs of the Com
mercial are managed bv Hon. Robt. raub-
- ny--L---
cashier. Mr.. Robert Taubman has a wide
reputation as q financier. Honest effort
has been his w~atchword, and success has
crowned all OF his uudertak kings. By
applying the rules of business integrity
and honor to all OF his dealings he has
amassed q splendid fortune, from which
he subscribes literally and generously to
every public aud charitable cause. Mr..
f.. M. Taubman, the cashier, though q
young man, is one of the best bankers in
the state. He is by birth aud education a
Lexingtonian, and one which Lexington
is indeed proud to own. He has Inherited
to a marked degree the characteristics
that nave made his father successful. A
review of the statement of the CONNER
cial bears testimony to the statement that
there is not a better managed institution
In the state.
