The Mitchell Tuesday Evening.
The gentlemen connected with the
First National bank in an official capac-
ity and as stock holders were enter
tanned at a banquet at The Mitchell
Tuesday evening, and which termi-
mated in one of the most pleasant affairs
OF the season. The gentlemen were en-
tertained by O. L. Branson, the CASH
ier of the bank, who desired to add
little sociability to the business feat
ures of the annual meeting of that in
stitution, and in this measure Mr..
Branson's effort was thoroughly sue
cessful. and the gentlemen seated
around the board will remember the
occasion for some time. Plates we're
laid for fourteen and none of the num-
Der we're missing when l. w. Seaman
headed the procession to the spacious
dining room of The Mitchell. The
table was beautifully decorated with
cut flowers and smilax, while at each
men. The dinner was served in five
courses and the menu arranged by
Landlord Johnston displayed excellent
judgment on his part, consisting as it
did OF some very tempting dishes,
which were partaken with an evident
relish by the guests, who discussed
topics of an interesting nature over the
viands. 1t WAS shortly after o'clock
when the guests entered the dining
room and it was nearly 9 o'clock when
an adjournment was taken to the bank
Mr.. Seaman, acting as POSTMASTER of
the occasion, called upon A. E. Hitch
cock for few remarks, and who re-
sponded with some we'll chosen words
in reference to Mitchell, the banking
business and other things of an inter-
esting nature. J. o. Walrath, the
former president of the bank, was also
among the speakers, and referred to
matters in sympathy with the gather
ing. Mr.. Branson was highly compli-
mented for the manner in which be
had entertained the bank officers and
others who were invited as his special
guests. Landlord Johnston came in for
share of deserved praise for the ex-
cellent manner in which the banquet
was served. There was nothing left
undone which would contribute to the
enjoyment of the evening. The follow
ing gentlemen were present: D. T..
Gilman, of Sioux City; j. D. Newcomer,
of Eldorado, Iowa; l. w. Seaman, o. l..
Branson, j. S. Daniels, A. A. Boynton,

The Banks Annual Meeting.

At the conclusion of the banquet the
officers and stockholders repaired to
the First National bank, where was
held the annual meeting. The first to
engage che attention was the election
OF board of directors which resulted
as follows: D. T. Gilman and G. M.

OF Eldora, Iowa, j. o. Walrath, J. S.
Daniels, A. A. Eoynton, t. A. Duncan,
[. w. Seaman and O. L. braason.
When it came to the election of a pres
ident Mr.. WalrsSh, who has acted very
acceptably in the position for the past
year or more, declined a reelection.
and M. D. I. Gilman was made the
new president. Mr.. Gilman is 6. gen-
tieman Of broad financial expecien4a
and is PRECEDENT of the Iowa State Mu-
tual bank, and of the Sioux City clear
iEg house association, and his connec-
tion with the local bank will give it an
added strength. L. W. Seaman was
made vice president and o. L. Branson
is continued as the cashier of the insti-
tuition, while r.. P. Beckwith still re-
tains his place as assistant cashier. Mr.,
Branson has been connected with the
bank for the past year as cashier and
has conducted 1t upon safe and con-
servative policy with the result that
the institution is in most excellent
shape. The management feel that
prosperous year is ahead and are much
pleased with the prospect. AS an indi-

cation OF the faith and confidence in
thls community it is matter of con-
graduation that such men from out
side the state as Messrs. Gilman, Swan
and Newcomer have invested their
money in the banking business, THE

to the bank for most successful wear.
