NORFOLK A BANKING TOWN
NATURAL CLEARING CENTER FOR
NORTH NEBRASKA.
FURNISHES MANY CONvENIENCEs
&. L.. Wattics, Cashier OF the Neigh
National Bank, is Well Pleased With
nm Arrangement Entered Into ns an
Experiment Some Time Ago.

e. L. Wattles, cashier of the Neigh
National bank, was In town yesterday,
having accompanied his wife this far
on her way to Sioux city. While here
Mr. Wattles inspected The News plant,
which he pronounced o. X He says
his bank now maintains n correspond
ence with one of the Norfolk banks and
he finds II great convenience. When
ne was urged to place an account here
ne says he protested against It, not
seeing where 1t would prove of advan-
tage to his institution, but he was fin
ally persuaded to try II as aA expert
ment The experiment has proven
more than successful. With the one
Item of currency alone he finds that
the convenience more than pays for
the trouble of maintaining the account.
AT this time of the year a great amount
or currency is needed to handle the
crops or farmers and during years gone
by the securing of currency has meant
three days operation. An order sent
in the morning would reach Omaha
that night but not be delivered until
the next morning, the Omaha bank
would start the currency back on che
late at night, but would be carried by
Tor the reason that the Neigh depot
Is not safe place for money over
night. The next morning the shipment
came back from Long Pine and was de
liVered about IL o'clock. Now an or
der comes TO the Norfolk correspon-
dent on the morning train and the cur
rency goes back at noon and is de-
hvered at the bank by ESQ. Or IL the
order does not happen to get on the
morning train, the telephone is used
and the currency is in the Neigh bank
inside of three hours. A great number
OF local checks are in circulation In
north Nebraska and these are now
cleared through the Norfolk bank in.
stead of through Omaha.
Mr. Wattles says they are much
pleased with the arrangement and be,
lieves that in course of short tim,
other banks will recognize Norfolk a.

FUNERAL OF COL. J. E. SIMPSON
A Simple Vet Beautiful Tribute to the
Departed Soldier and Patriot.
From Monday'a Daily1


The funeral OF Col. j. e. Simpson
at the First Congregational church
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock was
well attended by his old friends and
neighbors. There was a profusion of
floral offerings, with part of which
the church was decorated and the
remainder were placed on the. cas-
ket. A flag was draped over the cas-
ket and another was at the rear of
the pulpit Some years ago Col.
Simpson had erected in his front
yard tall flag staff, from which hung
on every appropriate occasion the ma
tional colors. During the ceremony
and the day this flag that he loved
so well was suspended at half mast.
Mathewson Post, G.. A. r., acted as
an escort to the remains, accompany
ing them to the church and later to
the station.
The eulogy pronounced by Rev. ].
j. Parker, who was designated by
Col, Simpson before he died to con-
duct the service, was one of the most
beautiful tributes ever paid to the
memory OF man. He spoke Of the
rugged honesty Of the deceased his
patriotism, his loyalty to his friends
and the community in which he lived,
and his answering fealty to the
party with which he was associated
At the conclusion of the service the
remains were taken to the North
western depot. They were accompa
MED by his son, Charles T. Simpson
and his sister, Miss Simpson, to De
corah, Iowa, where they will be laid
to rest beside comrades of years ago
A few days ago, in response to q
letter from one of the family stating
his condition, Col. David B. Hender
son of Des Moines, who was fol-
years fast friend of Col. Simpson
sent a telegram as follows: "GooC
bye, James; will be up to lay you tC
rest" meaning that he would be al
| Decorah.
When this was received 1t was reaC
to the sick man and he smiled anC
seemed to be much pleased with the
sentiment. Now word comes from
Des Moines that Col. Henderson ha.
been stricken, and these old com
rades may be united again soonel
than either of them thought wheI
the message was sent and received.

PLAN TO DIVIDE HOLT COUNTY
Citizens OF O'Nem are vigorously OPP
posed TO Either Plan Proposed

ONElLL, Neb., Sept. 22.-Two petit
tions for the division of Holt county
has been filed within the last few days,
Citizens of Ewing have asked that that
portion of Holt lying east of range line
~ and south of the north side of town
ship 2S be made into a separate county.
Another petition which has received
approximately 1000 signatures in the
western portion of the county asks that
the county be divided into two parts
by a line north and south through the
center.
In O'Neill the sentiment is decidedly
against any such division as is sug-
gested in either of these petitions. on
account OF the increased expense OF
running three separate county admin
istrations. The appearances are. how
ever, that county division fight is on
in this county this fall.

EXCELLENT ENTERTAINMENT OF
FOUR DAYS.
GOOD RACES AND BALL GAMES

Exhibit of Blooded stock Was of Fine
Qunlity-Iarge Display of Agricul-
turnl PrOducts-Pilger Defeated by
Home Team-The Races.
Friday was the closing day of the
very successful county fair at Stanton
and the races and ball game and the
exhibits We're seen by a large number
of people, many of whom were from
Norfolk and vicinity. The damp and
threatening weather interfered some
with some of the days, but on the
whole II was considered by the man
agement as one of the best fairs ever
given, particularly regarding the ex
hibit of high grade live stock. The
agricultural display was also excellent.
The races were very good and the
ball game was of considerable interest
although rather one-sided in favor of
the home team.
In the 2:25 trot or pace Lottie Medi-
um, w. b. Vail driver. was first Mag
gle Mcneil Tom Koch driver, second,
and Parpenna, John Kay driver, third.
1t is said that the winning of the race
by Lottie Medium was due more to
the skillful horsemanship of Mr.. Vail
than to the speedy qualities of the
horse. The best time was in 1927, but
Mr.. Vail is said to have driven the an
imal in a half in 1906 in cooling of.
In the match race between Shade on.
driven by John Kay, and Miss Young,
driven by Billie Woods, the Neigh
horse won easily, the best time being
in 2:20. 1t is said tina Shade On could
have distanced the opposing horse any
place on the track. There were many
local admirers of the Stanton horse,
confident of her ability to win. but
odds OF Ave and six to one were Of
| fered to get bets. 1t was generally
conceded that Shade-On is one OF the
best track horses and great sires OF the
state.
The running race was easily won by
St Ledger, time 62A.
| The judges were Grafton, Locke and
Hancock; timers. Edwards. Marks and
Appleby.
| The ball game was between Stanton
and Pilger, the home team winning by
score OF 10 to 8.
