Bank Of Asceasian,s Quarterly Renorf

The report of The Bank of Ascension
for the quarter. ending March y, 1905,
which appears in another column of
this issue, shows that reliable insti-
tuition to be as sound and progressive
as ever and will have the effect OF
adding to the already high degree of
confidence felt in the bank by its many
patrons. The total business volume
reached 1856, $50. So at the close of busi-
ness March p, the deposits $500, 632 10,
and the capital and surplus $50, 600.
The Bank Of Ascension Is looked upon
as one Of the soundest and most re-
liable institutions of its kind in this
section of the state, and under the
able guidance of its efficient corps OF
officers and board of directors It is
safe to assume that the steady growth
which has been exhibited in the past

A Modern School Building for

There canzbe no difference of opinion
among the intelligent and right minded
citizens Of this town and parish as ~
the urgent need of capaeions and
modern school building in Donald
sonville-a structure that will afford
ample room and improved facilities
for the instruction Of the constantly
increasing number OF our educable
children. and constitute an advertise
ment and object lesson Of the degree
Of interest felt by this community In
the cause OF public education.

Of sounding the praises of Donaldson

Important to Fuel Oil Consumers.

Readers Of this paper who use oil.
or who contemplate substituting this
cheaper and better fuel for coal or
wood, may find it greatly to their ID
terest to pond with the Texas
Fuel Oil Company. Ltd, which has IT.
Offices in the Hibernia National Bank
Building, New Orleans. This concern.
Is under the management of welt nowp
gentlemen Of experience and high stand
ing, and has une1eelled facilities for
the shipment and prompt delivery IF
oil by rail or water. Donaldsonville
is TO BE- one Of the main distributing
points Of the Texas Fuel Oil Company
and consumers in this section will
therefore readily appreciate the adj.
van1ages likely to accrue from. making
contracts for oil with such a comnanT
rather than with one having its sun.
