during that period the resources had
increased more than 5000, 900. The old
directors were reelected and they
held a meeting at once and declared
semi annual dividend of per cent, in
creased the surplus account to $15, 900
and passed a handsome sum to undi-
vided profits. They also displayed
their confidence in the officers of the
bank by re-electing all of them, and
this action will meet with the approval
of the general public who have deal
ings with the institution. This bank
is progressive, conservative, popularity
and intelligently differed, and is an
institution that Johnson City is proud
of and Justly so.

LAWN PARTY NOTES

The lawn social at Watauga avenue
Manse last Friday night was a financial
success, S22 dollars being taken in by
the ladies.
Revs. Day and Einstein came up
from Jonesboro to attend the Watauga
avenue lawn party Friday night.
The Sanitarium crowd brought their
ice cream appetites with them.
The late corners found nothing, the
supply not being equal to the demand.
The heavy storm passing to the north
at dusk cansed the taking down Of
bunting and lanterns and transformed
the first part of the evening into porch
party, although some tables were put
out again later.
Misses Foster and Hilman, of Wythe-
vile, Va, were among the out of town
guests.
W. A. Mccain, of Neva, johnson
county, was attracted to the social in
some manner.

JOHNSON SOON TO DECIDE
SOME GOOD STATE APPOINT
{ MENTs DUE TO BE MADE NEXT
s.1WEEK. ~ :. f-.~%,5e .,r'E = - X
r>N~~

1t is taken for granted that Cover
NOR elect johnson will settle nearly all
of his appointment problems next week.
Local interest centers in the surveyor
generalship, for which there are four
or fveE candidates. It is believed that
this appointment will practically be
left to John Lind and F. G.. Winston.
The wholesale and retail grocers are
interested in the appointment of the
assistant dairy and food commissioner:
Under the present system the head, OF
the department. is the dairy expert,
while his assistant looks after the en-
forcement Of the pure-food laws George
T.. Dingman, the present incumbent, has
the Endorsement of Minnesota dealers
and manufacturers generally, He has
enforced the laws SO that Chicago and
other outside houses have not been able
to work off inferior goods in this mar
ket. The home manufacturers and
wholesalers, who have to observe the
state law, have thus been protected
against unfair competition. MI. Ding
man is republican, but is not an ac-
tive worker, and it is thought quite
likely that he will be named.
The local candidates for labor com
missioner are very busy and anxiously
awaiting the visit Of the governor elect
| to the city next week. w. H. Williams,
| Herman F. johnson and Michael Neary
have the strongest Endorsements.
