Charles H. Wilmans on Thursday
evening received a notification from
4ai*r$ecretary of state of his appoint
ment by Governor Davis as one of the
five state capitol commissioners. Mr.
Wilmaus has been one of the chief
executive’s most influential support
ers and his bu iness qualifications fit
him for the duties of the honor and
position conferred. Though we are
not a supporter of Davis, we admire
his habit of standing by his friends.

DIVORCE CASE
CAUSES TROUBLF.
Forrest City, April 16.—Two weeks
ago W. D. Hargraves was sued here
for a divorce by his wife on the
grounds of desertion and bad treat
ment. He left the country and re
ports come that he is in Texas.
The Baptist church here of which he
is a member and also a preacher, hav
ing been ordained at Hazen, Ark., by
the church there, met last night and
excluded him from membership.
The Bradford correspondent of the
Searcy Times says: “The St. L., 1.
M. & S. Ry. completed its new side
track here last week and the water
tank will be the next thing to erect,
as the well will soon be finished. It
is now near -iuu reel) oeep, auu wuen
they get the new depot built anyone
most would mistake Bradford for
Newport.” Country correspondents
usually write under a nom de plume
and we would suggest that the Brad
ford scribe sign himself “A wind bag
from a flag station.”

This Bank has an authorized
CAPITAL of $100,000.00.
An authorized and subscribed Capital is a convenient thing—
good thing for advertising purposes, but to be perfectly honest,
and tell our patrons the truth, it really counts for little. We
could have had. just as easily, a Subscribed Capital of
$500,000. It would not have cost us one cent more.
What our patrons are really interested in knowing is, this
Bank has invested in its business, of ITS OWN MONEY,
$58,000.00 OF CASH PAID IN CAPITAL and undivided
profits. That is the reason this Bank is prepared to take good
care of your business. And we assure you that MORE CAPI
TAL WILL BE PAID IN as soon as we b^beve it can be safely
and profitably invested. <
