PROF. GEO. w. ARMISTEAD
Delivers an Interesting Lecture at the
Second Presbyterian Church.

Prof. Geo. w. Armistead, of Nash
vile, editor of the Issue, delivered an
instructive and eloquent lecture at the
Second Presbyterian Church Sunday
even. He was the typical Southern or
ator, his diction being graceful and
pleasing. His subject was a most no.
BILE one, Character Building, or the
Possibilities of American Youth" He
showed that the great majority OF the
successful men of the earth had risen
from the ranks Of the lowly to their
place among the great of earth. The
two great factors entering into the de-
velopment of character, and upon
which success depends, as the speaker
brought out in his lecture, are Industry
and Integrity. With these two princi-
Piles as the basis of their lives, any young
man OF woman can carve from the
block of time a beautiful and symetri-
cal character, fitted both to bless this
world and adorn the courts of God.

The First National Bank Of Jonesboro.

We clip the following from the Mer-
camille and Financial Times in regard
to the First National Bank, of Jones'
boro. The almost phenomenal success
OF this institution is understood when
we read the names of its enterprising
officers and directors. They are all
men of recognized ability and worth,
and moreover they are gentlemen. The
Times says:
The year 1892 has so far been charac-
terized by a very healthful and salts
factory growth Of the National bank
ing system of the United States. Since
January / we have been notified by the
Treasury Department at Washington
of the organization of thirty new ma
tional banks, with an aggregate capital
of something like So, 900, 900. In quite
a number of cases these new banks
take over the business of previously ex-
listing State or private banks. 1t is a
most gratifying acknowledgement of
the superior merits of the national
banking system when experienced and
successful institutions take on its form
and especially in these days when all
sorts of fanatics seem to be conspiring
together to assault the system itself.
Under date of March 30, 1892, we are
notified by the Comptroller of the Cur.
rency that he has issued his certificate
of authorization to the First National
Bank of Jonesboro, Tenn. This bank,
which is No. Ais on the official roster
at Washington, succeeds the Mer-
chants and Traders Bank, of the same
place, which institution closed its first
years business on March 2, 1892, when
a dividend of eight per cent was de-
clared and paid. This is a remarkably
good showing for SO young an institu-
ton to have made-and especially in
| view of the fact that the South, even
more than other sectious of the coun-
try, has been suffering under severe
financial stringency and commercial
commercial depression for eighteen
months past.
1t is quite evident hat the manage
ment of such an institution must have
been in unusually strong and able
hands, and it is gratifying to be able
to state that the conversion to the Ma
tional system leaves the executive and
directorate precisely the same as before.
The officers and directors are as follows:
E. II. West, President Newton Hack
er, Vice President R. NJ. May, Second
Vice President Tate l.. Earnest, Cash
ier, and A. N. Hacker, Assistant Cash
er. Directors: E. H. West, Newton
Hacker, R. M. May, T. H.. Reeves, j. j.
Hunt, R. M. X. Deakins, w. S. Smith,
S. B. Slaughter, l.. II. Patton, II. c..
jackson and E. H. Backman.
That these are the right men in the
right place is evident enough from the
record that has already been made.
The axiom that ''the tree is known by
its fruits" is just as applicable to bank
ing affairs as to anything else, and we
therefore congratulate President West,
Cashier Earnest and their esteemed col
leagues in the most cordial terms upon
the entrance of the institution with
which they are identified to the Ma
tional Banking System.

County Fair Election.

The annual election of directors OF
the Redwood County Agricultural So
ciety occurred according to call last
Tuesday afternoon. Over one hundred
shares of stock we're represented in the
election, which resulted in the choice
of the following directors: w. H.
Lance, R. w. Clough, Jos. Tyson, 0.
L. Dornberg, G. E. Mckay, D. w.
Banker and A. E. King. After the
election, the stockholders passed a
resolution fixing the salaries of presi-
dent and secretary at SIS per year and
of the treasurer at SIS. In view of
the excellent showing made in the
secretary's report, it was deemed I'M
fair to ask these officers to donate their
time without compensation.
The date for the next fair was fixed
for the last week in September as US
uaf; the society having been singular
ly fortunate for a series of years, in
the weather allotted for that week.
The secretary's report of receipts
and expenditures for the past year
places the Redwood county in the
front rank of fair societies in this state.

The death of Geo. Alexander, which
occurred early last Saturday morning,
removed an old and honored resident
of Redwood county. Mr.. Alexander
was born in Scotland Feb. II, 1918,
and was therefore few days over "a
years old. He removed to Canada in
1853, and in 1870 settled in the town
of Vesta, Redwood county. The de-
ceased was hard-working farmer,and
impressed all who knew him with his
thorough honesty and kindliness Of
heart. He was a Presbyterian, and his
funeral last Sunday was held from
that church, Rev. A. J. Williams con-
Quoting the service in the absence of
the pastor. Two sons of Mr.. Alexan-
der, David and Adam, are settled in
this county, and q married daughter
lives in Canada. His widow also sur
wives him. Mr.. Alexander's death was
the result of cancer, from the in
roads of which he has been sinking
for more than year past.
