NOISE BLOCH.
DEATH OF AN OLD AND EsTIM.
ABLE CITIZEN OF FRANKLIN.

On last Sunday night, Nov. 9th
Mr.. Noise Bloch, an old and res.
pected citizen of Franklin, died al
his residence in this town, leav.
ing behind him many friends who
together with the members of hif
family, are saddened by their
loss. Mr.. Bloch was born seventy.
four years ago at Fenetrange, De-
partment de la Meurthe, Lorraine,
France, a district now known as
Finistengen, Germany. He lived
fifty-four years in st. Mary par
ish, fifty of which were spent in
Franklin, Thirty years ago, he
married Miss Annette Levy, OF
Romansweiler, Alsace, France,
who together with eight children
survive him. The funeral ce1e-
monies, which was largely at
tended, were conducted by Rabbi
l. L. Leutch, of New Orleans, who
reviewed in touching words the
life and character of our departed
friend. Mr.. Bloch left behind him
a large estate. He was an exem-
plary citizen. Anxious at all
times for the prosperity of Frank
lin and public spirited, all are
sufferers by his death. Mr.. Bloch
was Jew, a member of that race
OF people who have given to the
world more than their share of
energy. industry, intelligence and
thrift; who are undeterred by any
misfortune, however great; un-
terrified by any disaster; whose
charity beginning at home ex-
tends throughout the community
in which they live; who are good
citizens in times of war or in times
of peace and under all govern
ments. OF his children who sur
wives him are Mrs. A. Bauer, Miss
Fannie Bloch, Messrs. Isaac and
Jules Bloch, two energetic young
men who succeeds their father in
The clothing business, Mr.. Her
nan Bloch and three younger
boys. The BANNER extends to
he members of his family its sin.
,ere sympathy and with them
,rieves in their hour of sadness.

A NEW HOTEL.

There is apparently no lack OF
confidence in the future prosper.
ity OF the town. In the next issue
OF this paper will appear the char
ter of a corporation organized for
the purpose of running a first
class hotel here. It is said that
they have purchased the property
of Mr.. Charles A. O'Niell, oppo-
site the First National Bank, on
Willow street. The place will be
entirely remodeled and enlarged.
There will be two.story building
where Mr.. O'Niell's law Office now
stands; and the main building
will be remodeled and embelished
to suit its new purpose. About
fifteen new bedrooms will be
added to the present nineteen
rooms. A stag entrance will be
established Immediately opposite
the bank, at the office; and the
ladies' entrance will be at the
present entrance to the residence.
We have been unable to learn
the names of all the component
members of the new company,
but believe that they are backed
up by outsiders. This is not ma.
terial; if the new establishment is
properly managed, as we hear it
will be- has every possible
chance of being a perfect success.
It's location on the finest street in
the town 1.-THE. finest in any town),
its proximity to the railroad de-
pot, and on the street leading
thereto, its nearness to the BUSH
nesr centre; the magnificence and
picturesqueness of the place, with
its spacious apartments, are all
conducive to perfect success.
There is now one up-to-date hotel
in Franklin, and this is probably
the only town on the road it's size
that supports only one first class
hotel. The present hotel is often
crowded to overfowing, and there
is ample room for two. We trust
and believe they will both do q
handsome business. The new
company is capitalized at $40, 600.
