MRS. THOMAS cALLoW.

The many friends of Mrs. Thomas
Callow were indeed shocked when
they learned of her sudden death,
which occurred Monday night.
Mrs. Callow was out Monday eve
ming conversing with friends and was
apparently in the best of health, con-
sequently the news of her death later
in the night was a great shock.
Deceased, who prior to her marriage
was Miss Annie Buchholz, was born in
New Orleans fifty-seven years ago and
resided in our district for over forty
years. Her husband preceded her to
the grave a few months ago. She is
survived by a daughter, Mrs. Jos. Ri
chards, and a son, Archie Callow, and
by two grandchildren. Mrs. Callow
was a member Of the Catholic Ladies
Benevolent Association, the members
! of which attended the funeral in a
body.
The funeral took place Wednesday
afternoon from her late residence, 44e
Vallette street. Interment was in st
Bartholomew cemetery.

ING.

For the first time in the history of
Louisiana, drainage bonds bearing B
per cent interest have been sold at par
A small commission was allowed the
purchaser to cover certain expenses,
but this was subscribed and paid by
the property-ownerS of the district.
The drainage commission received 100
cents on the dollar. The par value of
the bonds sold was 100000.
The sale was made by George A.
Hero, acting for the Jefferson-Plaque-
mines Drainage District, of which he
is president. The purchaser was the
New First National Bank of Columbus,
Ohio. E. A. Cope looked after the
banks end of the deal.

The proceeds will be used in drain
ing 100000 acres of land in the. rear of
and below Algiers. More than one
fourth of the land lies in Orleans par
ish. The remainder is in Jefferson
and Plaquemines parishes. The work
of draining will be commenced imme-
diately, and is expected to be COM
pleted within ten months. J. F. Cole
man will have supervision of the work
The conclusion of this sale on such a
favorable basis is the subject of good
deal of comment in financial circles in
view Of stringent conditions now pre-
vailing in all money markets. Many
believe that it opens the way for the
sale of several similar issues now
awaiting buyer. 1t also encourages
the creation of other drainage districts
