Speaking of W. E. stice, cashier
of the First National Bank of Ga.
lena, who died Tuesday morning,
the Galena Republican says: "The
death of W. &. Stice is the subject
of conversation every where. A
gloom such as was never before ex-
perienced seemed to settle over the
entire community. Nothing else
was talked of, nothing else thought
of yesterday. Men could not con-
centrate their mind on business
but seemed dazed at the awful visi-
tation of the death angel. We
doubt If another case is recorded
where there was such universal
sorrow over the death of a citizen
of such modest aud humble pre-
tensions. Bankers as q rule are con-
sidered heartiess, uumerciful, cold
blooded aud their death does not
carry great grief to every heart
but this was an exception 10 the
rule. The more men thoughtof the
life and character Of deceased, the
greater seemed the loss. The more
they knew of him the more they
realized his true worth; the more
free they were 70 proclaim his vir-
tures. Every one had a kind word
to say of him. Said one gentle
man, II do not believe Stice ever
refused to aid e worthy person or
object, whether church, politics or
charity. HE heart and purse wac
ever open.' Said another: @Many
of our citizens owe their prosperity
to I'd Stice, whose assistance en-
abled them to make . success of
their. enterprises. "A number OF
merchants would have failed had
he not come 10 their reseue aud
bridged them over bad places.s
On every hand We bear these CON-
ments. Men are founding his
praise In no uncertain termA he
vas one man amonga thousond.
