Stockholders received eleven per centin dividends during the year. The remainder of $12,950.00 was left {n the undivided profit account, The following named officers and employees were elected: Wm. E Walton,$President; Frank M. Vurie, Vice President; Frank Allen, Secre- tary; C. A. Allen, Ags’t. Secretary; Will J. Nix, Abstractor; R. E. Moon ey, Clerk and Bookkeeper; Linda Nix, Stenographer and Clerk; Grace Walker, Bookkeeper. During the last three years we have had many things to contend against. There was a bank failure just across the street. The so-called panic hurt business for a while; then the decrease in profits came that al- ways happens during Presidential elections. In the face of all we gained each year. During 1907 there were but two banks fn Butler, while now we have three. Last year, notwithstanding the third bank, our gross earnings gained $2,173 09 over the year before; while the net earnings increased $1,210.92. The past year has been the most prosperous one this bank has had since {ts organization twenty-elght years ago. To get a correct idea of the earning capacity of the Missouri State Bank it is better to take the business for several years and find the aver- age. SECTION OF CELLAT. The popular vote in the last elec tion shows some interesting details For instance, Bryan received 1,315, 211 votes more than were cast for Parker four years ago, while Taft got only 14,190 more than Roose- velé recelved four years ago. It shows that the Republican party simply held its own. Debs ran over 45,000 ahead of his predecessor on the Soclalist ticket.
