The association does not work a hardship on the man that is disposed to be honest, but the dead beat and the man that never pays if credited, must put.down the cash.

History of the Bank—New Lecation— Increased Facilities for Business, Etc. In another column of this paper will be found a notice to the stock- holders of the Farmers Bank of Bates County calling a meeting for the purpose of increasing the capital stock to $50,000. It is with pride that we note the wonderful growth and prosperity of this financial institution of our city, and the fact that increased business required an increase in capital stock in so short a time speaks volumes for the management. This Bank was established in January, 1889, in the opera house block. On account of the devastating fire on February 16th, 1889, they were compelled to move to the present location at the southeast corner of the square. The old organization is composed of forty-eight stockholders, all resi- dents of Bates county. It was the original intention to place all the stock in the county, and this poli- cy will be strictly adhered to, and all new stock will be placed in the hands of parties residing in Bates county. The object of this policy being to make this a home institu- tion, in truth and in fact, distribut- ing its profits among its own people, thereby keeping the money at home. This Bank was incorporated under the state laws with a cash paid up capital of $20,000, and it is in order to meet the demands of their patrons that they have found it necessary to increase the capital stock to $50,000. It does a general banking business, receives deposits subject to check, pays highest rate of interest on time deposits, loaus money, buys notes, issues drafts payable in all parts of United Staies, ete. The gentlemen who are managing this institution account for this phe- nomenal prosperity in part to the fact of the big crop prospects in the county and the business incident thereto, together with the increased business in Butler and her flattering prospects for a substantial growth the coming fall and winter. On account of increase in business it was found necessary to employ an additional assistant and they were so fortunate as to secure the services of C. C. Duke, a gentleman of large experience in the banking business, clever and accommodating and very popular. The Farmers Bank has taken a ten years’ lease on the room now occu- pied by Bennett, Wheeler & Co., northeast corner of the square, they having leased the new building now under course of erection on the cor- ner opposite. We were shown a draft of the building as it will be after Mr. Emery has made the pro- posed changes, which will be second to none in Southwest Missouri. The front will be plate glass, entrance at corner, with circular tower above with bay window, large double win- dows will be put in the north mak- ing a splendid light and ample ven- tilation. The sidewalk wili be drop- ped 12 inches and laid with fine Ft. Scott flagging. Stone trimmings and steps to be taken from Daniels quarry. Tile flooring will be laid, and handsome and costly counters, fine offices and directors’ room, and fire proof vault, all at cost of Mr. Emery. The upstairs will be fitted up for professional offices. The bank is further secured by having a large Hall’s fire and burglar proof safe, with time lock, having ample room to care for valuable papers of their customers. This will be one of the finest rooms, when fitted up, in the city, and the management is to be congratulated in securing same for their bank. They expect to oc- eupy their new quarters by January, 1st, 1890. 4 { \ | \ | Prof. L. B. Allison, for many years an educator in our city, both | in the public schools and Academy, | and who at all times gave the best | satisfaction in the different depart-; ments which he filled, took his de-} parture last week, accompanied by | his estimable wife for Appleton City | to iake charge of the public schools | of that place. While the Timms re-| grets to see the Professor leave our | town temporarilly, we at the same time must extend our congratula- tions to the school board at Apple- | ton City and the citizens in general, who have so deep an interest in their children and success of their schools in securing his able services. For we can assure them from a personal knowledged that a better selection could not have been made if the board had searched the whole state. The booming Times follows him to his new home and wishes him health and success. The brick masons finished work on the new brick building at the op- era house corner Monday. The gal- vanized cornice is very pretty, and when completed the building will present a handsome appearance. We understand the syndicate of gentle- men owning the ground on which the opera house stood will utilize the other half of the lot by building a hall, and in erecting the same the architects will arrange the building so that it can at any time with little extra expense be turned into a regu- lar opera house. This will be better than no place to hoid public meet- ing, but the Tres would rather see a regular opera house go up at once. BGS WINE OF CARDUI, a Tonic for Women. E. S. Carrithers, proprietor of the American clothing house, returned home from his eastern trip to buy goods Sunday evening. He has been absent for the past four weeks, and bought quite largely. While in Chicago he became a member of the Western Merchants Association, which was being organized. The as- sociation numbers ninety-eight mem- bers and represents five million dol- lars. After electing officers and fram- ing a constitution and by-laws, the association was treated to a free ride to Philadelphia in a palace car by Postmaster General Wannamaker. Mr. Wannamaker also made the as- sociation a speech and then dismiss- ed them to ramble through his im- mense wholesale establishment which covers an entire block. Our esteemed farmer friend and good subscriber John Burke, father of Prof. J. A. Burke, school com- mission of the county, gave us a pleasant and substantial call Satur- day. Mr. Burkeis one of the sub- stantial and money making farmers of Charlotte township, and a regular moss back democrat. This year in addition to smaller grain he has 125 acres of corn which he thinks will average him from 40 to 50 bushels to the acre. He is now feeding about 100 head of hogs, and will save 8 or 10 broodsows. Mr. Burke thinks the crops in his section were never better. He said the crop of hay from a number of mead- ows around him would average from 24 to 3tons per acre. Hurrah for old Bates! She is waltzing up to the front in good shape this year. Try BLACK-DRAUGHT tea for Dyspepsia. Jack Elliott Wins the Snoot. One of the most interesting shoots | ever witnessed in Kansas City took place this morning in Exposition park between Jack Winston and J. | T. Elliott. The shoot was for $250 a side, American rules, ground trap, twenty-eight yards rise, 100 birds. A big crowd was present and en-| joyed the sport. But for the slight breeze which was blowing the score | might have reached a clean 100. As it was, Elliott killed 97 out of 100! birds, while Winston killed 96. Win- ston feels quite sore over his defeat, and says he will try it again, but as | yet no agreements have been signed. | Drury Underwood was referee and i James Whitfield scorer.—Kansas | City News. j Elliott is a Butler boy and Win- | ston is from St. Louis, and has been | recoguized as the champion shot of | the state. | McElree’s WINE OF CARDUI for female diseases tee EGE CA es ss ——28 WE ARE GOING TO MAKE A g¢g—— BIGGER RACKET THANG :—EVER—: ; = We are now receiving a large invoice, direct from the : Factory of FOOT-WEAR, such as | Ladies’, Men’s £ Children’s Shoes, # ——: FROM THE COARSEST TO FINEST:— Our Best Goods we Guarantee the stock and work. § Everybody come and examine and be happy. i Ure are alurays receiving Goods. a SPECIALTIES NEXT WEEK. *: H, B.
