Attempts to Kill Herself.
New Orleans, La., September 12.
Mrs. Caroline Simms, whose many at
tempts at self-destruction in the last
two years have gained for her the sou
briquet of "The Suicide Queen," made
another effort to kill herself at her
Villere street home today. She took
a dose of sugar of lead, but the char
ity hospital ambulance surgeons
pumped it out in time to save her life.
Her friends assert that this is her
fourteenth attempt at suicide, but only
seven such instances are on record in
the police department. Mrs. Simms has
never tried the same method twice.
Mrs. Simms, who is a young widow,!
attributes her unhappiness to disap
pointment in love.

Concerning an Ex-3ewberrian.
In an industrial and commercial
publication illustrative and descrip

of Mr. Pierce P. Langford ranks high,
as witness the following:

undivided profits are $150,000. The of
ficers are: Joseph A. Kemp, president;

Kell, vice-president; P. P. Langfordi
cashier; W. L. Robertson, assistant
ca~shier. The City National bank was
established in 1890, and has been one
*of the most remarkable banking suc
cesses in the southwest. During thE.
past 12 years this bank has paid
$300,000 in dividends to its stockhold
irs. The great bank has now nearly
cne million dollars on deposit. The
success has been wonderful, and at all
times the bank has been under con
servative management. It is of course
fortunate in having a very strong of
ficiate and directorate. The names
of these gentlemen are quoted among
the highest in their various spheres.
Joseph A. Kemp is president of the
W. F. & N. W. and W. F. & S. railroad
companies. Frank Kell is vice-presi
dent and general manager of the same1
companies, and president of the Wich
ita Mill and Elevator company. Wiley
Blair is one of the most successful
wholesale grocers in the southwest.
P. P. Langford, the cashier, is consid
ered one of the most brilliant finan
ciers in the west. He is owner and
president of the Wichita Ice company
and Is also a leading stockholder in
many other important enterprises.
This great bank has always been
closely allied with the progress and
prosoerity ot Wichita Falls and Wich
ita county, and the entire surrounding
country. With such names connected
with banking house as shown above
it is r -- ge tha!t i+. :-Yu 1ec"e

the confidence of the public. The bank
will soon occupy quarters in the new
City National bank building, now un
der construction.
Wichita Ice Company, Pure, Sani
tary Ice-The officers of the Wichita
Ice company are Mr. P. P. Langford,
owner and president, and Mr. W. W.
Robertson, manager. Mr. Langford is
cashier of the City National bank, and

the management of the Wichita Ice
company and his hobby-if he has a
hobby at all-is the manufacture of
pure and sanitary ice for the public.

Southern Christian Advocate.
Dear Brother Nettles: We have just
finished the regular protracted meet
ing on this work. The church has been
revived at each point. My dear breth
ren, Revs. W. B. Wharton, J. E. Ma
haffey, Felix G.-Whitlock, S. A. Dona
hoe, and Jesse J. Stevenson were very
kind in helping me. I could say many
nice things about their sermons. Ev
ery one preached in demonstration of
the Spirit and in power. We received
eight on profession of faith-all young
folks.
The visits of these noble men and
their faithful service will long be re
membered by this brother and his best
people. Some of the appeals made by
each of them will not soon be forgot
ten, and will bear fruit. May their dear
lives be long spared to tell "the old,
old story."
I am now entering upon the closing
quarter of my work. We hope to
round up well in some respects, if not
in all. During the four years I have
received eighty-seven new members,
most of them on profession of faith;
have baptized twenty-one infants;
married fifteen couples, for which I
have received $115. These people don't
ask a preacher to marry them for
nothing. We have raised, or will have
done so by the close of this year (D.
V.) for salaries, collections ordered
by the conference, buildings and re
pairs, specials for missions, and inci
dentals, a sum closely approximating
$5,000. Our churches have met every
financial obligation laid upon them.
A few refuse to pay, but there are
those who pay their own part and that
which is held back by others, and God
blesses the cheerful giver but collects
from the others by withholding the
rain and cutting off the crops. When
will people learn that they "can not
rob God?"
Well, I am compelled by failing
health and strength to retire from the
active work of the ministry, and will
settle down to do what my strength
will allow, and when permitted will
go over some fields I have served, and
preach the same glad news I have been
trying to publish for more than 28
years, and when I am calle'd away I'
hope to answer, "Master, here am I."
God bless the dear fellows who are
still active and the noble men who
compose the "old guard!', Oh, will1
it not be glorious when this warfare
is ended, to meet again and greet our
comrades on the eternal shore! God
grant it! Amen! Your brother,
D. P. Boyd.
