Anaroba college, an American educa

whether a more popular appointment SO

larly brilliant, fact that will be good
news to the old soldiers with whose
fortunes he is to be entrusted. He is 81
years of age, and was born in Vermont,
where he was educated in the public
schools and admitted to the bar. He
went to Minnesota in 1856, and prac-
ticed his pro OteSsiOn, but when the war

This 10 Done To Relieve ANY Fl

NAV Feel BY Reason of Nearly
100000 Being Tied Up.

ATLANTA, Ca, Arpil 1.-THE money
locked up in the vaults of the Gate City
bank will be turned back into circulat tion
today. Mr.. Stone, examiner in charge,
was directed by the comptroller of the
currency yesterday to transfer the
funds into the Atlanta National bank
The work OF counting the funds
and removing the fund began this morn
ing.
This Is not the usual proceeding, but
to meet the general desire to have the
money unlocked the comptroller took
this step. The depositors do not get
their money yet, but the 100000 or
more in actual cash now in the Gate
City bank will be put into another ma
tional bank which can loan 1t out and
relieve the financial stringency.

and $40, 900 in checks. since the bank
closed, maturing paper as been collected
very promptly considering that it is a

not been prompt, but they are good and
the money will be obtained. Stone states
that the paper which the Gate City

rule and there will be very little of it
that cannot be collected. Every deposi-

Stockholders will get par or very near
