more bo than tho first. It was by J.
E Longmoor Esq , cashier of the

touched on a subj.sot ot vital impor
tance to every banker in tho state
suggestions made in tho paper elici
ted a gieat deal of discussion in
which nearly everyone present took
part.

to order by Vlce-Prosldont E. M.

Mr. Provident
Allow me to interrupt tho proceed
ings of the convention a moment
while I perform a very pieaBautduty.
It is a woll-known fact that the suc
cess of all great undertakings is prin
cipally achieved by tlio lntowigont
direction and unabated zeal of soino
mastermind contacted therewith and
without such intulligentdlrectionand
zeal tho undertaking would vory
likely have proved, if not a failure, at
least' would, not liavo achieved an
abuudaut suocoss. Rocogiillug the
truism in connection with the emi
nent sorvico of our agreeablo and
pleasant secretary, Mr. W Goodrich
Jones and tho fact that much of the
success of the Toxas Banker's associa
tion is due to his untiring oilbrts in
our behalf. It is with unfeigned
pleasuro that I bog to oiler him a
small testimonial of the appreciation
of these services on tho part of his
friends.
Mr. Jones I tonder you this beauti
ful Bllvor sorvico. and bog you to ac-
copt It, not for Its Intrinsic merit, not
for au unmeaning uuiujmiuuui, uui n
a recognition of your past sorvicoa
and lor tho zeal and fidelity with
whioh you have uniformly guarded
tho interest of our nmoii loved insti
tution, Tho Texas linker's association.
It ih sa d that it is more blessed to
give than to receive I know this is
true, but I believe tho payment of an
obligation may bo attended with vory
ploaHing sensations. As I but volco
the sontimont of .your numerous
friends when I say that tho presenta
tion is mado with great pleasuio and
we beg your accoptanco as coming
liAimn from our hearts.

pleasure to ride over the city and see

them pleasant thoughts of Waco, The
hotels -are taking care of the crowd
admirably. A News reporter was on
the street yesterday all day long and
did not see one intoxicated'person
This is a fact worthy of mention.
