We would call particular atten-
ton to the statement of the First Nat
ional Bank of this city now running
in this paper. The bank has been a
phenomena success from the start
and is reckoued today as one of the
solid institutions of the state. The
depositor in this institution need lose
no sleep over the safety of his funds
intrusted to its charge. X. N. Allen,
its president, is known as one of the
shrewdest and most successful bust
ness men in the state, and ID. NJ
Kennedy. cashier, is well known as a
careful conservative business nan
whose whole time and attention is de-
voted to the interests of the bank.
Our attention has been attracted
lately by the great number of farms
being picked up in tins locality by
prosperous well-to-do farmers from
Iowa and other states. AS rule they
are a good class of citizens and will
not have TO be sending back east to
wife's people for support during the
winter. We find on investigation
that our tireless real estate man, n.
w. Henry, has beer instrumental in
locating a large per cent of these men.
Mr.. Henry informed us in a little con-
yesterday. that in the last
I hree weeks he has sold farms in this
locality that aggregated 5000, this
was buy and sell, not trade, and that
there had already arrived five car
loads of goods and 20 people to occupy
Them. 1t j. said that he who causes
wo blades Of grass TO grow where be-
fore there was but one is a public ben
factor. but the man is a greater bene-
actor who brings into community
lumber of earnest helpful citizens.
Mr.. Henry also. informed US that his
oan business was never better and
hat in all his years of business he
lad never been able to furnish money
IS cheap as now.
