A Fine Showing
The statement of the First Nation-
al Bank of Cooper, just made by
that popular institution m Response
to the request of the controller ot
the currency, and a synopsis of
which appears in this issue of the
Review, is the best report ever made
by any Bank in Delta county, and
is well worth reading. Especially
noticeable is the large increase in
deposit since its last report, and we
are informed by Assistant Cashier
Naylor that the deposits have ip.
creased over $10,000 since the date
of the call Nov. 10. This state-
ment emphasizes the confidence of
the people in the First National
and its oliicera, and it also portrays
the prosperous condition ot the
community.
An lluusuai Case.
The Paris Advocate of the 14 th
instant contained this remarkable
peice of news:
“A middle-aged lady ot refined
appearance appealed tu the various
county authorities this morning in
an effort to have the 18 year-old
husband of her 12-year-old daughter,
who had oeen torn away from his
bride by an irate father, returned
by process of law.
From the facts in the case it was
learned that about two weeks ego
this couple of tender years w re
married in Delta county where the
boy’s parents live. The mauiage
was by consent of all parties connec
ted, the father of the groom going
with him to Cooper for the license.
After they had been married and
lived together a week or ten days
the boy’s father decided that the
couple was too young and by his
paternal authority forced the boy
to leave his wife and return home,
stating that be would uot allow him to
return until he had reached hie ma-
jority. The mother of the child
bride, finding that persuasion was
useless, came to Paris to see what
she could accomplish in a legal way
to have her son-in-law restored to
his bride.’’

A Fatal Accident.
While closing the last forms of
the Enterprise, B B. Taylor tele-
phoned us that a Mia. Neal, a lady
upwards of 50 years of age, who liv-
ed near Vasco, was thrown out of a
wagon about 10 o'clock this morning
and killed. Mrs. Neal accepted an
invitation to accinpauy Mr. and Mrs
J:m Chambliss to the home of N.
Shotten, who died this morning at 2
o’clock. Mr. Chambliss bitched his
team to tbe wagon and tbe three
started, having a distance of a mile
or two to travel. After going about
a mile tbe horses became frightened
and ran away, throwing Mrs. Neal
out injuring her to the extent that
she was unconscious. Dr. Wood
was sent for, but the lady died be
tore he got there.—Enloe Enterprise
Mrs. Neal was a widow, about 60
years of age, and the mother of Lon
and Pink Neal of the Vasco com
