A Merited Promotion.

The many friends of Mr.. c. L. Dosser
of this place will be highly gratifcd at
hi; rapid promotion. In July last he
was appointed Post Office Inspector at a
salary of $1,000 per annum, and assigned
to duty in the South. On account of his
efficiency and faithful work, his salary
was increased TO $1,000 in Janu airy last.
He has recently been promoted 10 the pc.
sition of Division Inspector and assigned
to the Division composed of the State of
New York, with an Office in the city, at
a salary of $4,000 per annum and expenses.
This is the most important position in
this branch of the service, as about thirty
per cent. of all the mail matter of the
United States passes through the New
York office. Mr.. Dosser has won his
honors by efficient service alone and not
through any political influences.

New Institution n Fixed Fact-Tbe
Charter Drawn up and Everything
Assuming a Definite Form.
The committee appointed by the Board
OF Enterprise some weeks ago to open
stock books and solicit subscriptions of
stock to a National Bank, have succeeded
so far in getting about twelve thousand
dollars subscribed and pledged. The
committee find that quite a number of
persons who have money to invest prefer
a bank organized under our State laws TO
a National Bank. A careful comparison
of the provisions of the two enactmen,s
shows that the State laws give as ample
protection to both stockholders and de.
posters as the National banking laws,
and are less restrictive in the matter of
profits and require fewer expenses in
management. This matter having been
brought before the Board of Enterprise,
a committee was appointed to ascertain
what could be done toward organizing
and establishing a Banking and Trust
Co." under our State laws with an auth.
orized capital of $780, 600.
The committee met with much encour.
agement and have succeeded so far in or
ganizing a body of corporators and
stockholders consisting of the following
parties; ]. D. Cox, Hon. Newton Hacker,
Hon. S. j. Kirkpatrick, ]. c. Plummer,
E. A. Shipley, L. II. Patton and VIM. G..
Mathes.
An application for charter has been
made. The amounts pledged by the cor.
porators, supplemented by the mount
of stock already subscribed to the Ma.
tional Bank will be amply suficien: to
put the bank in operation within sixty
days upon payment on amount of so per
cent. of the subscription.
The committee has conferred with all
the larger subscribers to the National
Bank enterprise and they have expressed
their willingness to transfer their sub
scriptions TO the Banking and Trust Com
pany's stock subscription. 1t is proposed
TO close the books when $25, 900 have
been subscribed.

A Man Has His Leg Cut OF by the Cars
mt Limestone.
Tuesday afternoon as the freight, No
%, was pulling into Limestone, a gentle.
man by the name of W. II. Stevens of the
State of Ohio, a nephew of w. S. Strain
of Limestone, who with his family has
been visiting friends and relatives in this
county, attempted TO board the train be.
fore 1t had come To a standstill. He tried
to jump on to the forward end of the ca
boose, and, missing his footing, was
struck by the car and thrown under the
wheels. His right foot was cut off just
above the ankle and the heel of the left
shoe was taken off.
Mr.. Stevens, W C understand is q Ten
nessean and formerly of this section, but
left here during the war. Since he has
been engaged in railroading, having been
a conductor for some seventeen or eigh-
teen years, but has recently quit that
business. He said soon after the acct
dent that he could not account for his
missing his footing or why he should
have attempted to board the moving train
as ne had no thought Of doing so the mo-
ment before. 1t is supposed that the idea
momentarily possessed him that the train
was about to pass on and leave him. He
was intending to com. to Jonesboro.
Doctors Wheeler, Stout and Dobson were
sent for and every attention give him.
AT last reports the injured man was doing
well. 1t is thought that amputation just
below the knee will be necessary.
