REV. B. NJ. PALMER.

The Maker called and the soul of
a great and good man took its
flight to rest in peace with the God
who gave it. DR.. B. M. Palmer,
the beloved old man" of New Or
leans, died on Wednesday from the
effects of injuries received several
weeks ago, when he was knocked
down by street car. At the time
of the accident, and UP to day be-
fore his death, hopes were bright
for his recovery, but he lacked the
recuperative powers at his advanced
age. DR.. Palmer was esteemed,
reverenced and loved, not only by
his own congregation but by the
City of New Orleans, the people of
Louisiana and the entire South joins
i'll sorrowing for the departure of
this learned and great man. With
an intellectual power that gave him
depth and force was mingled the
gift of oratory possessed by few
His was a life that, by its purity
and simplicity, brought the way
ward to seek the way of repentance,
and though dead, his life will shine
out through years to come as the
great exemplar of the teachings of
Christ.

pleted their telephone line between
New Orleans and McComb city,
which will replace the telegraph
now in use by that railroad. The

it will be in general use by all the
railroads.

No better evidence Of the in
creased prosperity Of our section
of the county can be wanted than
the fact that on last Friday so
shares Of Stock Of the Bank Of
WoodviIIe, changed ownership at
the remarkable high price of $3.50
per share. This stock was pur-
chased by one of our leading citi-
zens, not for the purpose Of adj
ding to his holdings or for selfish
motives, but in furtheranCe of a
determined effort on the part of
our present Bank officials to make
this institution one that all of our
citizens can justly feel proud of.
The evidence of this fact was de-
monstrated in the distribution of
these eighty shares among TWEEN
ty-six persons, twenty-five of
whom did not heretofore own any
stock whatever.
The average citizen might be
led to believe that the price paid
was speculative, and based on the
future prosperity of the Bank,
but such is not the case, for if the
bank should not make any further
profits to the end of the season,
a dividend of 20 per cent could
be declared, which, based on the
present market value of the stock,
would return to the holder 13 1-3
per cent profit on the investment.
But there are no reasons why the
same rate of profits should not
accrue, and with the incoming of
the new holders, a decided in
crease in new business is assured.
That the confidence of the public
in the present management is in
creasing, is manifest from a COM
parison of figures;
On May 2G, 1900 the
deposits showed s 67,462,07
On May &c, 1902 the
deposits showed 144, 1897, 80

A showing most remarkable,
more especially so since 1t must
be remembered that the organiza-
ton is but two years old. In con-
Guiding this article we feel that it
is but proper and just to compli-
ment the gentlemen connected
with the bank for their zeal and
conservatism, not alone in bank
matters but for the evidence of
their interest in and their efforts
to promote the good and welfare
of our town and this section of
our county.
