The stockholders of the new Anoka
National Bank elected directors last week.
Congressman w. D. Washburn heads the
list as the largest stakeholder. The bank
has capital of 100000. Our old and
esteemed friend, Caleb c. Crane, is one OF
| the directors, and was also honored with
| the position Of vice-president, which
probably means president de Jtacto, as the
able to give the new enterprise his per-
sonal attention, but will delegate the
duties thereof to his right-hand man,
Vice. President Crane. The bank will be
ready for business August list. The
Anoka paper says that "the room will be
fitted up in really magnificent style, and
no city in Minnesota will have finer,
better, or more complete banking house
than the Anoka National Bank Mr..
Crane is not only first class man, but he
has business qualifications of high order,
and we know he will make success of
the banking business.
john N. Rhames, of st. Ansgar, died
on Friday last from the result of an acct
dent caused from a runaway team. His
funeral occurred on Sunday, and was
large one, several from this city attend
ing. Mr.. Rhames was classed among our
old settlers, having settled here over
twenty years ago. He was man of
erous and kind to the poor and needy. He
was for many years deacon of the Baptist
church, consistent Christian who lived
and died in the faith of a Redeemers love.
In all the relations of life he was man,
a kind husband, loving father, good
neighbor, honored and respected by all
who knew him. His death is not only a
loss to his town but to the countY.-Os0ge
Press.
Mr.. Rhames was resident of Austin
nearly 20 years ago, and we knew HIM
then as so good and honorable man that
we have no hesitation now in endorsing ev-
cry word of the above. He was born in
Ireland Feb. IA, 1924.
Strangers estimate the business enter
prise of town by the advertising columns
of its leading papers. If every branch of
trade is there represented and the differ
ent establishments show vim and enter
prise in their announcement to the pub
lie, the conclusion follows, and every
time correct, that the town in question is,
many town gets reputation of being
dead because its business men do not ad-
vertise. Now think that over. Secondly,
it matters not how large stock house
may carry, or how fairly it may deal, if it
does not advertise, it will fall into the
sere and yellow leaf, in public estimation.
Ask a constant reader of any: paper which
are the leading business firms of the town
in which it is published and nine times in
ten he will name those constantly and
prominently before him on the advertis-
ing page. Isn't that the truth? We could
go on adding truth upon truth, precept
upon precept, to show that advertising
pays, but the men who would believe us
advertise wouldn't believe us.-Hokah
Chief:
Our readers will remember the refer
ence in our columns not long ago to the
serious illness of Marshall, eldest son of
A. j. French, of Window. Though he
was then very i'll, while there was life there
| was still hope in the hearts of his family
that this beloved son might possibly re-
cover. But now hope is dead for this life,
for Marshall has been laid away to rest in
lakewood, after an illness of nearly six
months. His disease was consumption,
and he was but 10 years of age. He died
peacefully, quietly, consciously, with
father and mother, brother and sisters,
| and friends, about his bedside. To
this father and mother we know the
affecting rod has fallen heavily. We know
this father feels as though the staff upon
which he hoped to lean has been taken
from him. We know the mothers heart
mourns and ceases to be cOmfOrted for her
son that will come back to her no more,
and with tears and aching hearts these
parents come back from the new grave in
lakewood to life's burdens and cares.
Marshall was dutiful son, and had many
warm friends among his mates. Rev.
Lathrop conducted the. funeral services
at the residence in Window, offering, as
best he could, words of consolation to the
stricken family.
