NAY MEET IN COLUMBUS.
Armv. of west Virginia Nay Go to
the Ohio City This Year.

Army Of West Virginia Nay 60 to
the Ohio City This Year.
saws the Columbus Journal: The
proposition, first made known by Capt;
James NJ. Burns, on last Saturday even
ing, at the public meeting of the Union
veteran Legion, to-wlt. that the Society
of the Army Of west Virginia should
he invited to hold It's reunion Of 1891 in
the city OF Columbus, Is one which
seems to meet with general approval
among the soldiers. There is q large
contingent OF soldiers in this city and
county, who are eligible to the society
as the only conditions Of membership
are first. an honorable discharge from
the army, and, second, that the soldier
nj Eome time in his service should have
served in the Army OF West Virginia.
This service is not necessarily contsnu-
GUS, but 1t may have been a long or
abort time. Many of the "Old boys"
here who are entitled to membership In
that society have never awaited them
selves Of the privilege. A great many
regiments from Ohio, in the early
months OF the civil war, saw service in
west Virginia. but were afterward
transferred to the larger and blOodier
fields in eastern Virginia, or In the
south with Sherman. The proposition
to invite this society Is yet in It's ineip-
Iency, and before public action is taken
Captain Burns will invite the commit
tee. appointed that evening to a con-
sultation. II It Is decided to be feas-
Ible, then the general public viii be
consulted as to ways and means, and
the proper committee named for the
work TO be done In preparing the lnvi-
tatiOn. This year the society viii meet
at Falrmont, w. Va.

TWO BANKS COMBINE.
The Union National and First
National of Racine Are
Consolidated.

Racine, Wis, Aug. 13.-[Special. /
Two Racine banks were consolidated to-
day. At 3 o'clock this afternoon took
place the transfer of the business and
assets OF the Union National to the
First National bank, a step that was de-
cided on Saturday night.
The deposits Of the Union National
amounted to about 100000 and sutfi-
Gent assets have been transferred to the
First National not only to insure the
payment of depositors in full. but TO
make it reasonably certain that the
stockholders will also get their money
all out. The Union National was or
gained in 1881 with a capital of $780,
900 and developed quite a business, but
In 1893, during the panic, was forced
to close its doors. However, all depOs-
itors were paid in full and a few months
later the bank was reorganiZed and the
capital stock increased to $150000. As
there are three other banking concerns
IN the city. however. the Union National
has not had very smooth sailing and
on account of the existing state of affairs
it was determined to make the transfer
to the First National and allow that bank
to realize Oh the assets and settle with
the depositors.
