EXCHANGE BANK ASSETS SOLD.
Auosianed on by Receiver Jones at ths
Court House Saturday.

Aacsioned on by Receiver Jones at ths
Court House Saturday.
Saturday, Wills Receiver Jones was
selling at auction the remaing assets Of
the Exchange bank at the court house.
the last act in an interesting drama was
being played. When the tap Of the
hammer announced that the last bit Of
property belonging to the bank had
been sold, the curtain dropped on a
scene in which vas depicted the van
ished hopes Of wealth. In 1888 the Ex-
change bank was established by some
Illinois people who thought they saw
an opportunity for a good investment
for their money. a fine building was
erected and furnished in palatial style.
Some young men, relatives of the pro-
moteFs and who had just finished their
education, we're endowed with stock
and put in charge of the institution.
Deposits flowed in, and while every
thing was booming it didn't take a very
astute fuancier 10 loan this money aud
realize big profits therefrom. While
the boom continued everything went
merry as a marriage bell, and nothing
but time appeared to stand between
the promoters and unlimited wealth.
What matter if a little money now
and then went into circulation to show
the boys what good fellow" meant,
couldn't it be soon made up by 3 per
cent short loans? But the boom didn't
hold out, and is was soon found that
paper once worth it face had shrunken
to nothing. Dividends ceased, but the
expense account diminished not. De-
pOsits fell away, and one morning the
public awOke to find that the trusted
cashier had folded his tent and stolen
away-and the money also.
The good folks of the east opened
the bank again, but it gradually went
deeper into the mire that it had been
in the mud. Saturdays sale was the
sequel.
The assets in question consisted Of
notes, real estate and fixtures, all Of
which the receiver had failed in Tealiz-
ing on or disposing Of at private sale.
Among the assets sold we're notes Of
the ex-cashier to the amount of S6,043.
They sold we'll, for souvenirs, bringing
SAT cash in hand, aud we'll worth it to
those who admire a well-executed sig
nature. The other notes, mostly IN
secured, went the same way. Many Of
the signeFs live in other states OF have
removed from the county and their
solvency is a doubtful matter. The
notes consequently went for practically
nothing. The real estate consisted of
town lots, laid out during the boom.
They went for a song. AS none but
local bidders we're present, none Of
whom had ambitions to open bank,
the fixtures were not in demand, and
went dirt cheap. The following shows

The County Board of Commissioners
have very properly imposed a license on
horse drovers. The town has alway re-

more trouble on that score. If a transient
dealer in horses and mules desires to do
business in this county he must pay a
license: If any of our local dealers go
outside of the town to pedile their stock
they too will have 10 pay county license.
1t is the duty of every magistrate or con-
stable to require a production Of the Il
