It is not known what started the fire at that time of night and the probabilities are the fire was started by spontaneous com bustion. However, it might have been the work of a careless tramp or somescamp stealing corn, who drop- used to find his way. Prof. Edward Speece, elected to take charge of the public schools at Rockville, left Saturday so as to be on hand Monday morning to assume his duties. Prof. Speece is one of Bates county’s best educated young men and most successful teachers. He taught at Rockville last year as assistant and the board of that town was 80 well pleased with his work, that he succeeded to the principal- ship this year. The Tises wishes him contiaued success. We call attention to the official statement of the Farmers Bank,pub- lished in this issue. It is surely a fine showing. We notice their total resources are over $155,000.00, loans over $125,000.00 while total deposits are near $100,000.00. Its presi- dent, ex-treasurer, Oscar Reeder, is asafe conservative business man, and there is no better banker in the state than the popular and efficient cashier, E D.

In another column of this paper appears the official statement of the Missouri State Bank of Butler show- ing total deposits $135,070.87; cash and exchange $43,338,07; amount in loans $166,634.90. This isa good statement, showing this bank to be in an excellent condition and well supplied with cash. This is one of the best officered institutions of the kind in the state. The name of Wm. E. Walton as president is of itself a guarantee tothe people of Bates county that the business will be con- ducted on safe and conservative banking principles, while Mr. Jen- kins, the efficient cashier is one of the best bankers and safest loaners in the state. The eham battle at.the camp ground, Thursday evening, was the crowning event of the holiday and picnic, and was pronounged by all to be the most successful enter- tainment of the kind ever given at the reunions in this city.
