A FINE FINANCIER.
Tho New York Financial Re¬
view has the following to say of
our fellow-townmen. Mr. John
F. Holden:
The fact that the business men
of Crawford, Ga., have organ¬
ized the Bank of Crawford, may
be taken as another indication
of the spirit of enterprise which
yervades the South, and which
appears to bo particularly strong
in Georgia. Banking men and
business authorities are associa¬
ted in this movement, and every
indication points to a bright fu¬
ture for it. Among the officers
and directors who have been
elected is Mr. John F. Holden,
president of tho Bank of Craw
fordvillo and of the Bank of Si
loam, whoso name is familiar
enough in that section and whose
judgment ha.s been demonstra
ted during a long and practical
experience. Be is known to b®
conservative and not by any
means one’to connect his name
to a new project without looking
carefully into it. Ha has favor¬
ed whatever has seemed to tend
to the advancement of the inter¬
ests of Crawfordville, and it is
not surprising for this .reason
that he should take an active in¬
terest in the bank. The co-op¬
eration of such gentlemen as he
will give the institution wise
counsel and give it considerable
moral support.
Observing the Sabbath.
Rev. Benjamin Graham de¬
livered a strong sermon Sunday
nig!it on Sunday observance.
The sermon has been much com¬
mented upon. Among other
things the minister said he
thought it was right Sundays; to have the
post office closed that
it was wrong for a Christian to
read secular newspapers all day
Sunday, and discuss politics,
instead of reading the Bible and
religious papers, and discussing
t ’ to r. r cwtoato: -- ■ -y
Mr. Graham said he was not
on the side of the fanatic, who
thought it wrong to cook on
Sunday, and would be slow to
condemn a person for feasting
oti the Sabbath, when the Sa¬
vour Hiinsolf attended a Jewish
feast ou the Sabbath and it was
not condemned anywhere in the
Bible.
“The manner as to how a
Christian should ouserve the
Sabbath, is not made very plain
in tho Bible,” said the speaker,
In conclusion, Mr. Graham
said that he believed that
it was ust as necessary
fora Christian to work six days
as it was for him to rest on the
seventh.
The sermon was interesting
throughout, and was given close
attention.
