THE BANK OF HENDERSON,

NewOmcers Elected and the Man
agement Of this Well Known
Institution Passes.Into Other
Hands.
It has been known for some time
that Col. VIM. II. S. Burgwyn pur-
posed resigning the presidency of the
Bank of Henderson and retiring from
the active management Of its affairs.
This action was decided upon because
of more f1attering business connections
open to him but which could not be
considered in addition to the exacting
duties as president and active manager
OF the Bank. The matter was laid be.
tore the Board of Directors and Col.
Burgwyn's resignation was rendered to
take effect as soon as his successor
should be chosen. A new organization
was effected, the Banks capital ir-
creased by additional Stock icing sub
scrioed, and altogether it is in stronger
and better condition than ever before,
successful and satisfactory Us it has
heretofore been. Many of the old
stockholders took more shares and
lnber of new men and capital have
been incorporated into the new organ
zation. Col. Burgwyn still retains an
int est in the Bank, and we are graft
fled to know that he will still make
Henderso /, for which he has done 30
much, his no neat least for some
time yet. At meeting of the direc-
tors held last week the following off,
GERS of the Bank were elecded: Pres
ident, Owen Davis; Cashier, w. A.
Hunt; lst Vice-President, J. P. Tay-
lor; End Vice-President, Melville Dor
sey; Board Of Directors, J. H. Lassi-
ter, w. S. Parker, Henry Perry, Paul
Clary; Teller, S. D. Young; Collecting
Clerk, j. H. Lassiter, Jr.
Of the new officers we need speak
but briefly. Mr.. Owen Davis is one
of our foremost business men and
his energy, sagacity and superior quail
itications for the position are recog-
nized by all who know him. Mr.. Hunt
is young gentleman of fine business
capacity and has had long experience
and valuable training which fit him for
the duties he assumes. He comes from
Winston where he served two years
as principal book-keeper in the Peo-
Plies National Bank of that city, and
previous to that was for six years con-
rected with the Bank of Lexington.
Sam D. Young has been in the service
of the Citizens Bank since its estab-
lisqment and has acted alternately in
the capacity of Collector, Teller and
Cashier. The other officials are all
gentlemen we'll known in our commu-
nifty, and the success with which they
have conducted their individual enter
prises testify to their wisdom, prudence
and business capacity. Careful, pains
taking and conservative the affairs of
the Bank and its patrons are entirely
safe in such hands and the GOLD LEAF
confidently looks for new era ofpros-
perity to mark the future course of the
Bank of Henderson.

son, held Wednesday evening, February
