WOLFF RESIGNS
WATSON CHOSEN.
Annual Meeting of the Stock-1
holders of First National
Bank Tuesday—Two
New Directors.
At the annual meeting of the
stockholders of the First Nation
al Bank of Newport, Sigmund
Wolff, who has since the incorpo
ration of the Jackson County
Bank, served as its president,
tendered his resignation, owing
to the enforced absence of his
business partner, Mr. Ike Gold
iman, and the requirements of
! his firm and individual business
upon his time. It was with re
gret that his resignation was ac
cepted. Mr. T. J. Watson was
honored with election to the
! presidency of this institution and
the other officers, W. A. Billings
ley, cashier, and Fred Jones, as
sistant cashier, were re-elected.
The names of two prominent
and substantial citizens were
added to the directorate in the
election of Jno. W. Ferrill and
Jos. S. Harvey of Swifton.
The bank’s finances were in ex
cellent shape, and from the net
earnings, $8,000 was set aside as
a surplus fund, which gives the
! First National a paid in capital
i and surplus of $58,000.
BIT OF ITALIAN FARMING.
Scene In Connecticut Wliicli Added
Flavor to Radishes for tlie
Beholder.
“These radishes.” said the speaker,
picking up one from a dish of the little
pink bulbs that stood on the table be
fore him, “remind me of some that I
saw on a very different table, and in
the midst of very different surround
ings, on a canoe trip that a friend of
mine and myself made in vacation
time last summer.
“Striking in from Long Island sound,
up a little river that comes in on the
Connecticut shore, we found it to be a
picturesque stream enough. In some
places along it there were little bluffs,
ten or 12 fe high, and at some places
trees, and along some stretches of it
there were grassy slopes coming down
to the water’s edge.
“It was a pretty stream, runn'ng
through a pleasant country. And
paddling on we came, at half a dozen
miles or so above its mouth, to more of
those little ten or 12 foot bluffs, quite
appropriate to the size of the river, and
over back of these bluffs we saw two
or three farmhouses.
“It was noon then, and the day was
hot and we wanted a drink. So we tied
up the canoe and climbed the bank,
coming out at the top upon a little ele
vated plateau laid out as a truck gar
den.
“Every inch of it was cultivated, but
the ground had not been plowed
throughout in uniform straight fur
rows, as in one great field. It was laid
out in patches, in which the furrows
ran in various ways, giving variety to
the appearance of the whole; but in
every patch every inch was cultivated.
And over at the other side of this con
siderable garden farm were the houses,
wlfVi homo orwl trflOB fltvl thp Wft] 1
“While everything about the place
gave evidence of constant care, there
was, when we started across for that
well, nobody in sight anywhere; but
j when we had come to an old-fashioned
gTape arbor that stood near one of the
houses, and had looked into that, the
absence of people from the fields was
instantly accounted for. For sitting
under this arbor ther^ were 20 or more
j persons, men, women and children,
evidently all the people on the placd,
1 eating their dinner comfortably in its
shade.
“This was apparently their regular
! custom. Running down the middle un
der this arbor there was a long fixed
table upon which the food was placed,
the people sitting along the arbor
I benches on each side, and the dinner
; that they were eating here in this cool
j and leafy dining room, which the com
pany pretty nearly filled, consisted
; wholly of bread and radishes—black
bread and radishes.
“There were quantities of the rad
ishes, which were contained in two
or three big wooden bowls, like chop
ping bowls, placed at intervals along
the table, and there was pie. ty of
black bread; and of this simple but
abundant meal they were all eating
with every indication of wholesome
and hearty enjoyment
"They were Italians, and good-look
ing and healthy looking people, all;
two or three families of them, appar
ently, that had joined forces and set
tled down here in this rather out of the
way place to make their fortunes, and
living here in their accustomed man
ner.
“And to come upon them thus, and
| all so unexpectedly, was running
! across, in Connecticut, a little bit of
| Italy; and,” the speaker, relates the
' New York Sun, concluded, as he helped
himself to another from the dish,
I “radishes have always had an added
j flavor for me since.”
