At a regular meeting of the Board of Direetors of the Farmers Bank, held Tuesday, Geo. W. Newberry sev! ered his connection with the Bank and W. F. Duvall waselected cashier. The change caused no surprise, as the general public had un:erstood for some time that Mr. Newberry had sold his interest in the Bank to Mr. Duvall and associates, and that the change would be made as soon asthe newly elected cashier could arrange his business to accept the position. W. F. Duvall is well and favorably known throughout the county and atate. He is a man of wealth and fi. nancial ability and for the past 15 years has been the head of the Duvall- Percival Loan Co., who have loaned several million dollars on lands in southwest Missouri during that time without loss to either the investor or his company, and now has loaned out million dollars on farme in Case, Bates, Vernon and Barton counties. He is a man whose connection with monied men and their confidence in him is such that it makes him the right man In the rightplace. Hestill continues as the head of the Duvall & PercivalCo., who have offices in the banking room. The Board of Directors of the Farm- ers Bank is composed of the follow- ing well known men: E. A. Bennett, Jos. M. McKibben, J. J. McKee, Judge Clark Wix, Dr. J. W. Choate, Frank Holland, W. F. Duvall and 0. A. Heinlein, who are individually re- sponsible and successful in their re- spective businesses; and as active offi- cers of the Board the Bank has E. A. Bennett as president and W. F. Duvall ae cashier, two men that stand at the top as financial suc- cesses. These officers will be assisted in their work by Homer Duvall, ae- sistant cashier; Jacqin Harper, teller, and Gus Keinberger, clerk and book- keeper, all being present employess of the Bank. In this connection mention of the new and elegant quarters occupied by the bank will not be out of place. The banking company owns the en- tire building at the northeast corner of the square, known as the Farmers Bank block. This building has re- cently been overhauled and remodel- ed, and {s now one of the most com- plete office buildings in the south- west.

Herrell took Willie Steele, a county charge, to the Christian Home, at Council Bluff, Towa, on Tuesday evening. Willie is 10 years old and was at the poor farm.

The room was full and {it is said a few escaped. All the boys playing were sone of respectable parents, not one of whom dreamed their sons were in such a hell-hole. Mallett ought to be fined the limit and run out of town. I¢{s bad enough for tin-horn gamblers to run a game, but they usually steel from one another, but this man Mallett was running a dive to corrupt and rob the boys, and he should not be tolerated {n a respec- table community. These young boye were arraigned before police Judge Boxley Monday, plead guilty and fined a dollar and costs. It is to be hoped that this humiliating expe- rience will prove a profitable lesson to all of them.
