Despite the panic, the deposits in the banks of Columbia are larger today than they were a year ago. There is not a busi- ness house in the city which was occupied by a saloon a year ago that is now vacant; on the con- trary, all are occupied by good, profitable business institutions. The postal receipts show an in- craese as compared with the pre- vious year, and until the panic four months ago the shipments of goods were larger than eve r before. One of the leading mer- chants of the city said today that his business for the past year had been the largest he ever had and he has been in business for nearly a quarter of century.

The local paper in Mississip- pi town recently had occasion to describe a wedding. On the same day an article was written concerning two impudent tramps who had visited the town. The new boy in the office managed to get the slugs mixed, with the following results:
 "The bride entered at the right escorted by her brother who knocked at the door demanding something to eat. She was beau- tifully gowned in gray travelling costume. The groom wore the conventional suit, for such affairs a ragged corduroy suit, a soiled shirt and a battered derby hat and was accompanied by a fierce looking bull dog. Both were dirty and unkempt. They left town in side-door sleeper of a local freight train followed by showers of rice, old shoes and good wishes. If they should be caught here again they are like 1v to he roughly handled by in- dignant citizens.
 The worst thing that can hap pen to a guided hero is to get so hot the paint peels off. Whether riches really have wings or not, they certainly are hard to overtake on foot. The loaded bat" seems to have made Senator Jeff Davis of Arkansas more patty than eyer. |
