The deceased was a very sweel
and worthy young woman,whose
demise brings sorrow to many
hearts. Though not a church
member, she was a Christian in
the conduct of her life and char
ity to others. To the mother and
; other near ones, the sympathy of
1 their friends is extended.
NEW FINANCIAL'
J
INSTITUTION FORMED.
The Peoples’ Savings Bank at
Batesville to Merge Into a
National Bank.
A new bank to be known as
the First National Bank of Bates
ville, says the Bee, is being or
ganized and will probably be
ready for business by the begin
ning of the new year.
This bank is being organized
by the officers and stockholders
of the Peoples’ Savings Bank and
other influential citizens, and it
will succeed to the business of
the latter institution, which has
always been and is now one of
the strongest banks in this sec
tion of the country.

greater than that of any similar
institution in this county.
Besides having the largest cap
ital they will be uhder the super
vision of the United States gov
ernment, which will be an ad
ditional guarantee of the safety
of the funds of its depositors.
The People's Savings Bank
will transfer all of its business
to the new bank as soon as it is
ready to commence business.
The new bank will have the
same officers, viz: Theodore Max
field, president; Nathan A. Ad
ler, vice-president; • James P.
Coffin, cashier.
BABY CONTEST VOTE.
- I
Edwin Johnson.. 1014
Ernest Theodore Phillips. 877
Jas. Edward Wilmans. 773
Dorothy Stephens. 749
Charles Jones Brandenburg 592
Wm. Wallace Dutton. 509
Jeannette Henry. 457
Thelma Smart. 50
There are a number of changes
in the totals of the baby vote to
day, James Edward Wilmans
moving up into third place and
Charles Jones Brandenburg
showing a good gain, though not
changing his relative position.
From now on the gait will
probably be fast and furious and
the fleet-footed little masters
and misses will receive the en
thusiastic support of family,
friends and admirers.
COTTON FIRE
AT AUGUSTA.
Thursday morning at 2:30
o’clock, schedule time for a fire,
the wildcat whistle sounded.the
fire alarm, says the Augusta
Free Press. The fire company
and citizens responded at once
and found that the cotton on the
platform of the Augusta Tram
way and Transfer Railroad com
pany was on fire, and after ten
or fifteen minutes’ work had the
fire under control. There were
about five hundred bales on the
platform. The origin of the fire
is unknown. The loss is esti
mated by the company to be be
between $1,500 and $2,000.
Lost—Wat3h fob bearing ivor

AN ECHO OF
BRIDGE DISASTER
Workman Injured in Crookec
Creek Accident Prosecutes
Foreman Madden.
i _
It will be remembered thai
some weeks ago the false
' work at bridge No. 2, on Crook
ed creek collapsed, resulting in
the death of three men, who
were brought to Newport, and
I the serious injury of several
| more, all employed on the work,
! says the Yellville Echo. The ac
cident was at the time charged
to the unsound condition of some
of the timbers in the false struc
ture and the blame laid on Fore
man Thos. Madden, who had
charge of the work at the time,
and he was last Monday arraign
ed before Esq. E. F. Hand on
the charge of involuntary man
slaughter; information having
been filed by W. H. McKillip,
one of the workmen who was in
jured at the time. The hearing
is set for Saturday, Dec. 3, and
the case is likely to develop into
one of large proportions before it
i is finally over.
PASS IT AROUND.
There is seldom a week passes
when citizens who are engaged
in business are not called upon
to contribute something for char
ity’s sake. It is always the bus
iness men who are asked to shoul
der the varied and gratuitous
givings. Some people seem to
think that they who are in busi
ness can pick i p dollars any
where and ought to contribute
liberally and willingly every time
they are asked. As a rule dol
lars are no more plentiful with
business people than with any
0 her. Just remember they have
troubles of their own. Beg your
money for a while of the land
owners and retired men who
have plenty of money drawing
interest. The business men
would appreciate the change. —

HENRY STARNS’
PRELIMINARY TRIAL.
Henry Starns, charged with
inflicting knife wounds upon the
person of Bernard Pate, another
Oil Trough farmer, from which
the latter died, was brought up
for preliminary hearing Saturday
morning before Justice Guy
Smith,
A change of venue was taken
to the court of F. W. Dillard and
the case proceeded. W. A. Old
field is prosecuting and Jones &
Jeffery defending.
DAVIS ITCHING TO APPOINT.
Capt. R. A. Boyett of Hemp
stead county failed to qualify
for his second term as assessor
by sending in the small fee to
the secretary of state for a com
mission, as required by law.
Governor Davis, it seems, was
quick to take advantage of the
fact and has announced that he
will appoint a friend to the place,
L. E. Cowling of Washington.
