ANNUAL ELECTION
OF STOCKHOLDERS.
Arkansas Bank and Trust Com

Stockholders and Di
rectors.
The stockholders of the Arkan
sas Bank and Trust Company
held their annual meeting Mon
day morning in this city, declar
ing a dividend of eight per cent
after adding five per cent to the
surplus fund. The paid-in capi
tal was doubled at the meeting
last January, and the statement
of this year shows it to have been
a prosperous one, and further
strengthens the standing and
prestige of this institution, which
embraces a large number of our ,
substantial citizens in its director- ,
ate. 1
J. M. Berger, Jr., W. W. Dut- ;
ton, J. P. Duck and R. K. Fitz- ;
hugh were elected directors and
the following old members: 0.
D. Watson, B. B. Bond, M. D.

ham, J. W. Grubbs, C. G. Henry,

A meeting of the new director
ate resulted in the election of
all the old officers, whose ser
vices had been eminently satis

NEWPORT JAIL,
Just what Gene Parker, the
negro who assaulted two of his
own race in a lower Front street
gambling dive a few weeks ago
and had to hide out, meant in
trying to resist a return to the
scene of his crime and forcing
the shenfi to secure requisition
papers upon the governor of Mis
souri, is not known. Perhaps j
he is like the negro crook who
burglarized Helena, and when.
captured in St. Louis, was wil- j
ling to accept without trial a life
sentence in the Missouri peniten
tiary rather than face his accus
ers in Arkansas, but, no matter,
Parker will stand trial in Jack
son county, as he is now resting
in the local jail.
Governor Dockery, of course,
honored the papers of “your
governor” and Parker was
brought to Newport Saturday
evening.
