a week 8 trip to Van Buren and Fayette-
vile. His trip to Van Buren was in at.
tendance upon the annual meeting of
the stockholders Of the Citizens Bank.
Of which he has been for thirteen years
president. and elected again at this

Arrangements have been completed
by which the hospital furniture and sp.
purtensnces were transferred by the
Daughters Of the King 10 the Van Buren

David Bryan arrived Wednesday from
Salina, Kas. on a two weeks visit to
his parents here. David attended
school at Salina for a number of years
and showed such Proficiency at the close
Of his schooling that he at once secured
lucrative position as book keeper in q
wholesale house there. This should
prove an object lesson to some of our
young men who sit around deploring
the fact that there is no chance for q
young man to advance. It's because
they do not try to make something OF
themselves that they do not succeed.
Those who are conversant with tine

mercial League could induce a number
Of growers TO locate here, or even men
who would instruct home growers in
the IN after of curing the crop we believe
profitable industry could be built up
and cause still greater diversiicstion
Of farming interests.
