A Successful Year

The Citizens Bank closed its first
year Saturday and meeting OF the
directors was held in the Presidents
Office in the afternoon. A statement
OF the business for the year
was read. 1t was a great showing and
the stockholders were highly pleased.
The old officers were reelected and a
new office, assistant cashier, was Gre
ated and Mr.. F. M.George was elected
to fill the position. The growth OF the
bank has been almost phenomenal,
The books show the net earnings to
be $6,79707 Of this amount $1,000 was
carried to the surplus and balance
to undivided profits. The profit on the
average capital carried for the yeal
was 20 40 per cent. The statemen
in another column shows deposits o
2,015 "a, $40, $685. OF which is OF
deposit subject to check and does no
draw interest. One Of the prime cause
for the wonderful profit shown is be
cause the interest bearing deposit
are so small, It's surplus makes it tn
strongest bank in this section, ant
puts the market value OF its stock a
: $1.15 bot none can be found for sale
, Johnson City is proud Of her thre
banking institutions, and the progress
the Citizens Bank has made in Oh
year shows conclusively that its mar
agemeDt was wisely selected.

ARTEsIAN WELLS.

Artesian wells have been known for
many years, but SO much interest has
been renewed in the subject by the ap-
plication of Dakota people to have the
general government assist in scheme
of irrigation by means of these wells,
that our readers may like to have q
few items regarding them. They derive
their name from the province of Ar
tots, France, the Latin name of which
was Artemisium. There is in this pro-
vince we'll which has yielded 100000.
gallons per day for more than 100 years.
At Lillers, France, is a we'll which has
flowed steadily since l126. At Gren-
ellie is we'll 1900 feet deep, which pours
out half a million gallons per day, and
as the water has temperature of 80 de-
grees, it is used to heat the hospitals of
the place. The we'll at Passy furnishes
the enormous quantity of five and hall
mil lion gallons in each "a hours. In
the United States the chief wells are
at st. Louis, 2200 feet deep, and at Louis
Vile, 1000 feet deep. Some remark.
able wells Of this character, with q great
flow of water, are at Prairie du CHEN
Wis, on the line of "The Burlington .
trhey possess remarkable curative power
for many diseases and should be widely
known. For further information abou,
the wells, and how to reach them, ad

A prominent public educator ant
manipulation of state politics, who
holds the political destiny Of Dickey
county in the hollow of bis hand
and resident Of Ellen6ale, let his
benign light shine for the first time
on us this week. A new light, not
so benign, but none the worse fo,
that, shone Oh him while here. 1t
came in the shape of information
that Oakes actually has a daily train
and a daily mail, and that the train
IS a regular passenger, and when he
was made to understand that two
passenger trains arrive each morn
ing and depart at night, and a third
arrives at night and departs in the
morning; that there are in addi-
tion to these. three daily freight
trains, and that FIVE train crews are
lying in Oakes all the time, his
amazement was such that he allow
ed his mind to wander from things
political for an instant. The sched-
ule Of all these and other trains have
been continually published in this
paper, but fearing some other citi-
zens Of Ellendale may be in utter
darkness relative to the Importance
of the metropolis of the east end, we
venture to put the information in
this new form, hoping it may at
tract their unwilling eyes. The
visit of this worthy gentleman
illustrates how one whose mind
is burdened with the multifarious
responsibilities Of politics, reaching
in all its ramifcations over an entire
State, may easily neglect his home
precincts and become obliyious to
the interests that spring up with
marvellous rapidity under his very
nose. However, Oakss may con-
slider herself fortunate that one of
his numerousilittle strings let this
gentleman Of many affairs within
her boundaries. Although on a
mission purely political we are glad
he WAS enabled to gather much new
and valuable information relating to
the commercial welfare Of this out
lying precinct. He can make the
information extremely valuable to
him in the future to take the same
active management and interest in
ths business welfare that he eyinces
i'll our political welfare. We hope
the gentleman will visit us frequent
ly and promise him much new and
valuable data. both political and
commercial, and will endeayor to
prepare few surprises for him in
order to vary the monotony Of the
programme.
