A month later, on February Ilst he | went to St. Croix and took over the | Branch of the Bank at Frederiksted, ’ remaininz there until Bth. September, when he returned to St. Thomas, and | assumad office. There can be absolute- ‘ ly no doubt of the matter that the present flouriskLing ‘condition of the ! Bank owes much to the foresight and | tact of Mr. Holst. Approachable ar all | times, ever ready to assist when assis- I tance is really needed, he has often | helped to steady many a small business. | A man of sterling integrity and probity, I it would be a difficult task to bind him ! in any way. ' Much of the kindliness of heart dis- l played by him in times of need and n&- | cessity is no doubt due, to his earlv or- | phanage, and the great loss sastain- | ed by him, when in the late e he lost his father and mother, and - | two brothers or sisters in a great f railway accident that took place in l Denmark, an accident that suddeunly | placed him at the head of the family. | However, be the cause what it may, | we, as well as many others are glad of | having the pleasure of knowing him. i Without the least shadow of flattery, ! whicn is ;both irksome and impolitic to | us, it is our belief that Mr. Holst is, and | always, will be, a worthy citizen of any | community in which he resides. | And now again before closing this ! brief character sketeh, we take the plea- | sare'of wishing Mr.t Holst ‘“‘Long life, | and many happy returns of the day="" ! —_St. Thomas Mail Notes, Feb.
