Bedes Budget has been resurrected, and under the joint editorship of J. Adam and his son Ethelbert, the first issue fairly bristles with humorous pointers from the penof dad and son and no doubt the admirers of the hero of the birch bark trousers will give the ‘paper a cordial reception. We do not find any mention of the congressman’s comung lecture engage- ments in the first issue. Word reached town Thursday tel- ling of the serious accident that befel Mrs. W. J. Hennessy at Remer. Two young men were dispatched to town tor a physician, but were unsuccessful in getting a doctor to visit the injured woman, as they were all engaged on cases that they could not leave for two days, the time necessary to make tha trip.

Ozier Kenville, a woodsman who had been employed at Pillsbury’s No. 5 camp out from Deer River, is con- fined at the detention hospital as a smallpox patient.

The doctors know } | is well on the way to complete recov- ery. The Herald-Review, as Usual. Brother Optic of Coleraine facetiously observes: “Brother Lam- mon of the Bovey Iron News spent the fore part of the week attending the county commissioners’ meeting, trying to geta piece of the county printing, but as usual, the Herald- Review was tendered the plum.” In justice to the taxpaying public, what else could have been done? The Herald-Review is the oldest paper in Itasca county and has by far the largest bona fide circulation. Wilson-Ross. The friends of Mr. Edward Wilson, of Laprairie, were much surprised to learn that he was married fh Duluth to Mrs. Rachael Ross of that city, on Wednesday, Jan. 8.

He re- turned, however, with a bride, and the couple are now comfortably iseat- edin Mr. Wilson’s Laprairie home. The cards announce that that they will be at home after February Ist. The Herald-Review joins many friends of the couple in wishing them many years of enjoyment. y Capt. Murchie in Town. The many friends of Capt. James Murchie—and that means everyone who knows him--were delighted to greet him again on the Streets of Grand Rapids this week and note that he is rapidly recovering from the frightful accident that. befei: him about two months ago at Big Falls. The explesion of a gasolenecan,which jhe mistook for kerosene, and with which he was starting a fire in the office of the Big Fork Settier, burned his hands, face and head in a terrible manver. For a time it was feared that his life was in danger, but a rugged constitution, good nerve and heart, together with the tender care of a loving wife pulled him through in safety. As soon as possible after the accident he was taken to Deer River where the services of Dr. Fair- all were successfully employed in | treating the injuries. The captain j and Mrs. Murchie have beea living at the Mohr hotel in Deer River during the past two months and they deciare that for kindly care and solicitous. ary edition of that paper, which was consideration of helpless guests the issuec Saturday last.

During the past week the two banks of Grand Rapids held their regular annual meetings and elected officers for the ensuing year. Both the First National and the First State show a healthy and prosperous condition. There were very few financial institutions in the country | that stcod up bevter or paid out cash more freely durigg the late money panic than did the banks of Grand Rapids. No business man or depositor dealing with the Grand Rapids banks were made to suffer any loss or seri- ous inconvenience during the days when it was almost impossible to extract adollar from any banking house in the country. Through it all they were liberal and considerate of the interests of their patrons and when money was needed it was forthcoming in the usual way. Few towns in the county could boast of this condition in the “local money market” after the crash struck Wall street and sent cold shivers up and down the financial back bone from ocean to ocean. It not only bespeaks much for the.safe- management and reliability of the Grand Rapids banks, but it also proclaims the materia] suundness of the community in which they do business. The directors of the First National bank held its annual meeting ‘last Wednesday and elected the following officers: President, F. P, Sheldor: vice-president, P. J. Sheldon; cashier, C. E. Aiken; assistant cashier, M, E. Winsor; directors, F. P. Sheldon, D. M, Gano, P. J. Sheldon, C. E. Aiken, H. D. Powers, John Beckfelt, W. C. Gilbert. A dividend was declared on the year’s business and it was decided to open a savings department. The directors of the First State bank held their annual meeting on Thursday last and elected the following officers: President, A. C Bossard: cashier, L. M. Bolter; assis- tant cashier, Vernon W. Koapp; directors, A.C. Bossard, L. M. Bolter, ‘Vernon W. Knapp. * A dividend was declared and the surplus capital of the institution increased. FIRST NATIONAL, COLERAINE. The directors of the First National bank uf ‘Coleraine held their annual meeting on Tuesday of this week and elected the following officers: Presi- dent, John C. Greeauway; vice-presi- dent, D. M. Gunn: cashier, George E. O’Cunnor; assistant cashier, Glenn Strader; directors, T. F. Cole, John C. Greenway, D. M. Gunn, C. C. Mc- Carthy, M. Curley. No dividends were declared at this weeting, the net earnings being added to the sur- plus capital. FIRS’ STATE, OF BOVEY. The First State bank of Bovey was able to make as good a showingin net earnings for the past year as any bankiug house in the county. The First State has enjoyed unusual pros- | perity and was able to declare a hand- | some dividend besides increasing the surplus. The annual meeting was held on Tuesday of last week when the following officers were elected: President, L. M. Bolter; vice-presi- | dent, A. C. Bossard; cashier, D. M. | Vermilyea; ¢ tant cashier, F. V. Wakkinen; directors, L. M. Bolter,A. C. Bossard and D. M. Vermiiyea. President Sheldon In Town. Grand Rapids, was in town a couple ot days this week. He attended the | annual meeting of the directors of the First National. In speaking of the financial situation of the country | he expressed himself in a very opti- the late “stringency” as having re-| sulted tothe detriment of the country. “Everything was floating along ona boom wave, and had been for some | time. Speculation was rife torough- out the country, inflated values were | to be found everywhere and a halt was inevitable,” said Mr. Sheldon | “When the halt did finally come, a few large and supposedly sozind finan- | cial institutions of the east wete , fonnd to be sbort. How far- reaching the impending panic might be in the eud uo one could tell | Everyone became frightened for a, short time and money went out | of circulation. The result of all this | will prove a positive benefit in the | end. It has brought about a wore. conservative business coudition ‘and ' tends to drive out a class of specula- tors that are always a menace to the business world. I feel that there is no cause for alarm today. trouble has passed away and the | financial atmosphere is clearing up | in a manner that promises a future | ‘brighter than the past.” pace“ ah a For Rent—3 Room house, a well, a good barn.
