The showing made is an excellent one, but in addi tion to what appears upon the face of this report a dividend of seven per cent to stock holders has oeen declar ed payable upon demand at the Cash ier's desk.

Mr. Leard was much beloved in our town and vicinity, not only by those af his own persuasion but by many of El "different faith and order." The Southern Christian Advocate of last week pays a beautiful and loving trib ute to his memory, from which we ex tract the following touching lines: 'Sleep, weary and worn pilgrim, sleep the sleep of God's beloved. Toil and [rial are all past. Eternal rest is thine. Fold the bands, close the eyes, and let jur father sleep. Let us walk softly not that we may rouse him-but in rev ;rence of the saintly soul that has fall in on sleep in Jesus.
