SOME PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS
AT ST. LOUIS,

The president Of the Third National
bank of st. Louis, a bank with over
S25, 100000 of deposits, is Charles III.
Huttig, formerly of Muscatine la. Mr.
Huttig is in the prime of life, is a di-
rector in the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position, and stands today as one of
the foremost business men of St.Louis.
In the seven years that Mr.. Huttig has
been president of the Third National
bank, the deposits of that institution
have increased from $2,000,0OO to over

A Fine Showing.

Auditor I. M. Henry is in re-
ceipt of the subjoined letter. from
N. w. Halsey & Co., Bankers,
New York, relative to the fine in
dustrial conditions of Mississippi:
Dear Strive beg to ac-
knowledge receipt of your state
ment for year ending December
81, 1908, and note that during that
period the individual deposits in
Mississippi state banks have in
creased so per cent, and total re-
sources have increased over 35 per
cent, which is a truly remarkable
showing.
I'VE have long been of the con-
viction that the south is becoming
to be more and more of an inves-
ting section. Inasmuch as good
southern bands, both municipal
and railroad, are now selling at a
lower level than the correspond
ingly well secured northern and
western issues, we believe in the
policy of buying such bonds, and
them to clients worthy
of the consideration of southern
bankers. y
Yours very truly,

Power House Notes.

The rain and thunder storm.
which came up between Z and 8
o'clock last night, caused shut
downs at the Power House, and
the rest Of the night the city was
in darkness, except in SO far as it
was Supplied by coal oil and q late
rising moon.
Repairs of the roof incident to
the late fire had not been complete
ed, and the ligtnings from heaven
and the driving rain played on the
electric machines to such an ex-
tent, Supt. Fewell, as a precau-
tionary measure ordered the plant
shut down, rather than run the
risk of serious injury. The lights
will be on again this evening as
usual.
The recent fire damages at the
Power House were adjusted at
50, 900, and the insurance compa-
mics represented by the Under
writer's Agency and DR.. ]. B.
Daughtry, have settled with the
city on that basis which fully
covers the loss.

Card of Thanks.

In orr hour of deep sorrow and
regret that the life of our beloved
A. M. Mcmillan, should have
been so suddenly cut off, our
hearts turn in gratitude and ap-
probation to warm friends whose
sympathy has come to us and
whose kindly favors have helped
us to bear our anguish. Since
" chords that vibrate sweetest
pleasure, thrill the deepest notes
of woe,o we who knew the lofty
soul and inmost thoughts of the
departed best and gloried in them
most, must sorrow for him more
than any other, whose life only
touched his now and then. Each
friend has our thanks for every
word or deed of loving sympathy.

attracted considerable attenti on
outside the state.

Senator Hoar Of Massachusetts
died early last Friday morning.
In him a great statesman and a
ripe scholar has passed to the
unknown. As man Of lofty ideals
and pure character, he was often
unable to see the practical side
of matters Of national concern.
But even those from whom he
differed respected his sincerity.
While in recent years he has dis
fered from his party on adminif-
trative questions, he was thor
oughly grounded in republican
principles. He came from an il
lustrious family, being a great
grandson Of Roger Sherman Of
evolutionary fame.

From first to last they are clean,
able and fearless men. Many Of
them have been tried, while the
personal character and business
ability Of the others are ample
guarantee of their fidelity and
efficiency in Office. They were
nominated in a fair and honor
able manner by a convention
strictly representative of the
party, and after a thorough in
vestigation Of their claims and
merits by the voters Of the party.
AS good a ticket could have been
selected, but no better one could.
For the reasons given above the
ticket should have the support OF
the entire party.

of his state, in opening the

In less than one month the

by their ballots who shall admin

the next few years. The fact
that the candidates are men Of

can be brought, it has not SEEM
ed necessary I to stir up party
strife il the county, when I every

that the entire republican ticket
will be elected. But in some
quarters an effort is being made
to arouse a fractional strife in the.
republican ranks in the vain
hope that enough dissatisfaction
can be aroused and enough Bit
terness engendered to defeat a
part Of the ticket. There are
several reasons why the ticket
should be voted straight. No
objections to this is ever raised
except by the minority party
who want to get into power.
