 -Col. o. M. Joslyn, receiver of the Staf- ford National Bank, has realized upon the assets, and has deposited with the con- troller's office in Washington, an amount sufficient to make the final payment of the claim of each depositor and creditor of the bank, with interest during lime since the suspension. It is 8 creditable piece of work, to have within the year so success
 
 pointment, and our business men and the nress of the state are warmly commenting Col. Joslyn for it. With the payment of these claims the duties of the receiver will be ended. The next step will be the call ing of meeting of the stockholders by the controller, at which the affairs of the bank and the remaining assets will be turned over to them. This meeting will choose an agent to further realize on assets and to divide among the stockholders whatever may be saved It is considered possible, and not improbable, that 10 per cent. may be saved of the capital stock. The stockholders would do we'll to make Col Joslyn the agent to continue the work he has begun as receiver. He has shown himself to be 8 successful business man, and knows much about the affairs of the bank that a new agent would require con- siderable time to learn. This community may congratulate itself that within so short ., time it has so far recovered from the disaster that one year ago seemed so over wheaming and irretrievable.
