November 81, 1854, and has lived here
continuously all his life. His first oc-
cupation as boy was that OF train

ployed Justin, and in 1876, when he
opened up business for himself. he took
young White with him and he re-
mained In his service continuously I'M

BUSINESS MATTERS.
Hon. j. w. Blake Retires from Hank

Hon. j. w. Blake Retires from bank
ing Firm.
Mexia Texas, April Hon. ]. w. Blake
today gave notice of the sale OF his inter-
est in the bank OF Prendergast. Smith &
Co. to Messrs. j. l.. Smith and Jack Wo-
mack, the other members of said firm.
who. with Judge D. NJ. Prendergast and
j. S. Smith, will continue the business I'M
der the same firm name.
This is one OF the largest and most inn
portant commercial transactions that has
ever taken place in our city.
Mr.. Blake has been connected with and
the leading spirit in this bank since its
organization In 1881 and under his man
hgement the institution has not only
prospered, but become one OF the best
known and strongest private tns..Ss In the
State.
1t Is universally hoped that this change
in business will not cause his removal
from Mexia. No man has ever had a
stronger bold upon the affections OF a
people than has Mr.. Blake with those
am ng whom he has lived for twenty
years,
MIR. Blake says he will take much
needed rest for awhile and that he has
not definitely decided what he will do
In future.
s me OF his friends advance the idea
7 that tho change in business means that
he will be candidate for congress or
railroad commissioner in 1900.
1 II b., however fact that Mr.. Blake
prefers a business life to politics.
One of Mr.. Blake's strongest traits lies
in his loyalty to the farmer and poorer
class OF people, and especially as an ad-
wiser Of the widow and orphan when left
70 fight the financial baltic OF life. His
advice was sought and accepted by more
Z
for the reason that what he did was done
in a spirit of kindness and without price,
and should he remove from Mexia this
class will lose friend indeed.
