It is a gratifying fact that of all the National and State Dank failures in this country the sta tistics show that ninety-seven per cent, of :he money on deposit where banks have failed has been paid back to the depositors. There are few. it any. businesses that can show such a record PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. LIMESTONE OPENS AGAIN. Mrs. Hattie Clary Dead. How sad is death! Even when ripe old age is reached, when the sheaf is ready for the garner, when the step is feeble, the eye dim and the charms of earth gone; when the form is bend ing toward the earth whence it oame; even then we shrink in horror from death and wonder why it should ever come. But when we see from earth’s gardens the loveliest flowers removed wo stand amazed and cry, ‘‘O, death, stay thy hand! Take not from us Miose so young, so full of charms.” But he will not stay. With muffled tread be moves, reaping where he will, and with pitiless hand robs our homes of their brightest Joy.

In a very short while now—In fact, in a few days—Limestone College throws onen her doors to the crowds of students, old and new. that flock each year to this famous institution. Many preparations are under way at Limestone for their reception. A Ledger man, visiting the college Wed nesday. was greeted with the hustle and noise of a diy of nreparation. The building lias lice’’ renovated and thoroughly gone over. The plumbing is now being repaired. The beautiful campus is being converted into a thing of more beauty to welcome the return of the young ladiec who have distinguished themselves here in the past, and the .arrival of other voting ladies with records yet to make. The only two changes in the facul ty, as previously noted, are in the music department, viz: Prof. Harold A. I firing conies as musical director, and Miss Van Vliot Higeley as in structor of voice and violin. These two additions to the past strong fac ultv reflects groat credit on Dr. Lee Davis Leodge, president of Lime stone College. Dr. Ixidge in speaking of the merits of these musical celeb rities said that in addition to their gradnatfon—one from Faelton Bros.’ famous school, the oth°r from the New England Conservatory of Music —he had receiver! such letters of praise as the following example: Of Prof. Loring: "He has plenty of power, rare execution, intelligent comprehension of his composers and great musical temperament. . . At the concert last evening many critical listeners took occasion to express their warm approval of Mr. I>oring.” Prof. G. T. B. Turner, organist of St. Luke’s Cathedral. Portland, Me., says: “Mr. Loring has played the organ in our cathedral and I can and do recom mend him in that capacity. He is fully equipped for choir training. Mr. I»iing has met with success in all his choir work. He is also a gentle man of good character and social dis position.” Of Miss Higeley. Hon. Walter E Howard, of Middleburg Colie: “She is a rare singer, and great vio linist. She stimulates her punils to their utmost and thev are devoted to her. She lias had the best instruct ion in American and Europe and ins improved her opportunities. She is a superb musician and in every way | a prize for an institution. Besides lining a graduate of the New England Consevratory of Music she studied five years in Berlin, Germany, under such teachers as Felix Schmldtt (a pupil of Garcia) and Carl Markies, of rhe* Hock Schuie.” To Be Frank you have really never eaten a true soda cracker until you have eaten Uneeda Biscuit The only soda cracker which is all good and always good, protected from strange hands by a dust tight, moisture proof package.
