New Banking Firm.


With the beginning of the new year the
Tama County Bank changes hands or
partially so, at least. By the new ar
ranrement Messrs. Hall & Warren step
down and out, and their place is filed by
Messrs. Jacob Yeiser, Jr, a. II. Sterrett,
and w. FL. Harrison, il. Upon the re-or-
eanization of the institution the officia
| directory stood as follows: Jacob leiser
,Ir President; w. II. Harrison Jr.. Vice
I President: w. II. Harrison, Cashier; A..
Ii. Sterrett, Asst Cashier. These gen.
tlemen are all old residents of our town
and county and are all well known Tor
their honesty and strict business integ-
ritz. BY this change the extensive Land
and Loan business OF Messrs. ieisef q
| Sterrctt is combined with that OF the
Bank. and he new firm will do a gener-
al Banking and Land business, make
Loans, pay Taxes, ETC., etc. While this
Bank has always been in safe hands,
heretofore we do not believe it has
suffered in the least, in the change. II Is
he intention of the new firm to erect in
the spring a handsome and elegant Bank
Building on the corner of Broadway and
High Street. In the meantime they will
be pleased to see all their old friends and
patrons at the old stand. The lama
County Bank is one of our most reliable
institutions and one which we can cor
daily commend to our readers. 1t has
always been conducted in a safe and re-
| liable way and under the new arrange
ment it will lose none of its prestige Tor
soundness, and good business manage
mcnt which il has gained in the past.

Overwhelmingly morning, Dec. 29th,
FLORA BELLE, oldest daug: ter Of Mr.. 81
Mrs. c. F. McGec, aged IS years.
Again the Death angel has entered that
home and borne away a loved one. The
death of this on makes the third one in
the family in less than four weeks. All
who were present at the funeral OF the
first onc-Little MAuDIE-will remember
the sorrow expressed in the cry of Flora
when she said "Papa, what viU we do
without Maud" She has not been obliged
to be away from Maud very long. We
expect that on the first of December Mr..
& Mrs. MCGEE little thought that before
| New Years three of their darlings would
be laid TO rest.
One of the sweetest poems in the En-
| glish language is that one of Lor gfellow's
1.-THE Reaper and the Flowers" Though
it is old, we publish it as especially ap-
| plicable to the case Of the above two
families, Mr.. s. Mrs. MCGEE and Mr.. &
Mrs. Ferris.
There is a Reaper whose name is Death,
And, with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain at a breath,
Aud the flowers that grow between.
Shall | have nought that is fair p saith he:
Have nought but the bearded grainf
Tho the breath Of these flowers is sweet to me.
viii give them all back again ~
He gazed at the flowers with fearful eyes,
He kissed their %diooping leaves;
1t was for the Lord of Paradise
He bound them in his sheaves.
MY Lord has need OF these iowerets gay
/ The Reaper said. and smiled;
Dear tokens of the earth are they,
Where He was once a child.
"They shall all bloom in fields of light,
Transplanted by my care,
And saints, upon their garments white,
These sacred blossoms wear"
And the mother gave. in tears and pain,
The flowers she most did love;
She knew she should find them all again
In the fields Of light above.
O. not in cruelty. not in wrath,
The Reaper came that day;
IT was an angel visited the green earth,
And took the flowers away.
