The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1889-12-14

LII is now known as q 1act lnat
the financial crash at Waynesburg
is the greatest of its kind ever hap
pening in the neighborhood. In our
last issue we reproduced from the
Democrat of that place, the resume
of the first reports, and from it's
following issue we take the reports
chronicled below:
GAS intimated in our columns last
week our town and vicinity has been
visited by financial cyclone which
has swept away the wealth of some
parties and made sad inroads upon
that of others. Wild reports have
been put in circulation, and many of
them have found their way into
print, which are far beyond the
truth. Some of those against whom
notes are being entered on the
docket are perfectly solvent, and can
pay the amount entered at any time,
and others can pay in full if giytn
the opportunity to do so, while still
others, although badly involved, will
doubtless be able to pay good per
cent of their indebtedness. There
may be few parties who are indi-
vidually deserving of less sympathy
than others, such things are always
SO, but at time like this an effort
to hurry collections unduly, may be
the means of defeating the very OBJ
ject it is intended to accomplish.
We do not claim that any one should
lose their money where they have an
opportunity to save it, but we do
mean that to issue executions and
force property to sale during time
like the present, may be the means
of breaking up parties who are sol
vent if given little time, and of
breaking others who are in no dan
ger except when general crash
comes. AS to the cause of the pres
ent difficulties very many reasons
are given, but the greater part of
those who are most intimately con
nected with the losses are aware of
the leading causes of the present
situation. Very many homes have
been entered and much money has
been lost, where the owners were en-
tirely free from doing anything
further than to be too unsuspicious
of those into whose = hands many
thousands have been placed, much
of which has been lost. When once
our county RECEIVERS from these loss
es, as it soon will, it will enter upon
an era of prosperity greater than it
could ever enjoy under the situation
which has existed for some years
past. For those honest hard work
ing men who have saved few thous-
ands by lifetime of industry, econ
omy and self denial, only to see it
all or in great part lost, there is
wide spread sympathy which finds
resting place in every heart. In or
der to avoid further cases of the
kind the greatest leniency should be
shown where it can be with safety
to all interested. The assignments
made as far as known to present
date are:
DR.. D. w. Braden to Isaac Wood.
David A. Spragg to Henry Spragg.

Regarding the Farmers and Dro-
vers' Bank the same paper says:
George L. Wyley, Esq. has been
made President of the Bank at this
place, A. 1. Lindsey, Esq. has been
made Cashier, and the public can
rest assured that the Bank is in a
good condition, fully able to stand
amidst any financial crisis which
may oyertake the people. A report
was circulated that the Bank was in
a very shaky condition, this report
reached the extreme out skirts of
the county, but it was without foun-
dalton. The Bank is on as good
footing as any bank in the country,
and instead of being in condition
to damage our people it is just the
opposite. The people of Greene
county owe much to it, and instead
of now pulling them down it proves
as strong pillar of support, unaf-
fected by the misfortunes of others
and still aiding our people in tiding
the wave of misfortune. The Bank
is in first calss condition"
