READ THE ADVERTISEMENTS. - The
Richland Republican very sensi-

They show just what live business men
are about, and everyone who has trad
ing to do, will find it pay "a advertise.
Business men who do not advertise are
not up the spirit of the age, and their
stocks fingers on their hands. Those
who advertise turn their stock quickly,
make fair profit and always have a
fresh supply to select from. This is a
fact and not a fiction, and can beldem-
onstrated by every successful business
man in the country.

BANK OF PLATTEyILLE BROKE.
Depositors in the Bank OF PIattevlle Realize that
they had Placed their Funds In Poor
Hsuds


they had Placed their Funds In Poor
Hands.
On Friday evening last, word was
brought to Lancaster that the Bank of
Platteyille had closed its doors. The
bank was owned by Mr.. |. Hodges, who
was President, 0. F. Griswold, Cashier.
The bank was one of the oldest estab-
lished in Southwestern Wisconsin, and
up to short time before its failure, had
the unlimited confidence of the public,
and the deposits were large and numer-
Gus, including, as is always the case,
many poor people, who can i'll afford to
lose their savings, or await the slow
process of settlement to get their pro.
portion of the assets.
The failure is no doubt due to the
fact that Mr.. Hodges, in his goodness OF
heart, allowed his personal friends to
overdraw their accounts. The firm OF
N. H. Virgin & Son, are reported to
have overdrawn in the neighborhood OF
$4,000, which has gone to swell the
list of margins on various Boards OF
Trade. This may seem, to some, an
enormous amount for any banker to
allow his customers to overdraw.
In fact, it is, and no banker in
the country other than Mr.. Hodges
would have permitted it. and moi
he, but for his personal and long
continued friendship for the firm.
Others had also overdrawn Their
accounts. including the Hawleys,
swelling the total overdrafts to about
100000. On Friday evening Mr.. Hodges
came to Lancaster to endeavor to raise
funds sufficient to tide him oyer his
t t'5ir but ewing to the existing law,
his friends here were not DESTROYS OF
helping an apparently lost cause.
On Saturday, when depositors found
the doors closed, there was but little ex-
element, the people, having the utmost
confidence in Mr.. Hodges, thought he
would be all right, and they would get
their dues in few days. Matters rested
very quietly. and on Monday Mr.. j. H.
Evans was selected as assignee, his
bonds being placed at S230,0OO. AS
soon as possible, the assignee went
through the books and accounts and
prepared statement for the creditors,
which showed up as follows:
