Good People Gone
M. e. Church and Mount
Victory Bank Lose Much
In the Going OF e.
A, Chaplin and r.
w. Curl.

Amid tears and laughter of a large
crowd at the depot F. w. Curl and
wife bade sad farewell to home and
friends Tuesday eveing, when they
left for Meade, Kansas Mr.. E. A.
Chaplin did not go with them, as he
expects to leave tomorrow for a
short visit in Reading, Pennsylvania
before going to the new western
home.
Thus Mt. Victory loses some of
her best citizens and prominent So
ciety people, loss which is quite
keenly felt. For twenty-nine years
Mr.. Chaplin has been superintendent
of the M. E. Sunday School at this
place, during which time he has been
absent but a few Sundays. He
handed in his resignation last Sun
day and made a talk that brought
tears to the eyes of every one pres
ent. He has been a worth official
and will be greatly missed in christ
ian work.
F. w. Curl, a graduate of our
public school in the class of 1892.
has been the efficient assistant cash
ier at the Mt. Victory Bank for
eight years. He has been a steady
man at his work and has become
well versed in the ways of the fnan-
cial world. For some time he was
also engaged in livery business.
But it is a recognition of his worth
that takes the family away. He
will become the cashier of the new
nation-l bank, which has been organ
lied at Meade by Meade county
people and J. B. Buck, former
Mt. Victory boy. 1t is a more lu-
crative position and an advanced
step in his chosen profession,
In Mrs. Curl, a graduate of our
schools in the Class of ga, society
losses faithful and willing worker;
the Sunday school an efficient teach
er and Mount Victory good and
respected lady. She was for several
years teacher in the schools and
has many friends among the people.
A farewell reception was given in
their honor at the M. E. Church
Monday evening and large number
were present to bid them a formal
good bye. Mr.. Chaplin was pre-
sented with fine gold watch as the
Sunday Schools token of regard in
recognition of his labors IN it's be-
half. 1t is needless to say that he
was deeply touched and appreciated
it very much. The Primary class
made Mrs. Curl present of beau
tiful silver tea set.
The prayer of all is that prosper
ity and happiness may be theirs
in their new home in the west and
we commend them to the citizens
of Meade who have gained our loss.

Frank and Carl Ellis came in from ElPaso,
Texas, last Thursday, where Frank has been
for several weeks attending to business in re-
gard to his getting hurt on the a. T. s, S. F.
railroad last summer. The case never came
to court as compromise was reached by
both parties in which Frank received $5,ooo
which seems to me to be a very light damage
for the amount of injuries he received, but
owing to the law of Texas this was the limit,
so he had to abide by it.
