Name Not Yet Determined
On BY Leading
Men.
$4,000 CAPITAL STOCK.
The Election of Officers VIII
Be Held in a Few
Days.

In talk yesterday with one Of the
men interested in the organization
of the new bank he stated that all of
the stock with which to commence
business had been taken. The bank
will be opened for business in the
near future. The capital stock is
$4,000, which has, in large measure,
we learn, been subscribed for by
farmers, though Hopkinsville people
have invested literally. The gentle
man further said that a name for
the new institution had not as yet
been determined on, but that a meet
ing is to be held in few days,
when that question will come up
and be settled in connection with
several others. Articles of incorpo-
ration are being prepared to be pre-
sented for adoption at that meeting.
The first meeting of the stockhold-
ers will be most important one, as
at that meeting the real history of
the bank will begin. At that meet
ing the election of the president,
cashier and other officers will take
place. as we'll as the election of the
directors. There will also be several
preliminary matters to be considered,
such as place and hours of business,
etc. Just what day the meeting will
be held has not been fixed.
AS to the time of commencing
business, that cannot be determined
on for while. as the fitting up of a
room, putting in vaults. ETC., will
necessarily delay opening the doors
to the public for a considerable time.
1t is pretty generally believed on
the outside that Mr.. James West is
to be chosen president of the new
bank. Mr.. West is one of the best
known business men in the county,
having long been identified with the
business and general interests of the
city and county. AS is well known,
Mr.. Gus Brannon, late of Owensboro,
who has succeeded in raising the
necessary funds with which to start
the new banking institution, will be
its cashier. Mr.. Brannon has had
long experience in banking and will
doubtless prove the very man for
the place.

DR.. UPPER
ADDRESSED
AUDIENCE

The celebration OF the 35th anniversary
OF the Cranston Street Baptist church was
continued last evening. Rev. DR.. L. L..
Henson, pastor OF the church, presided at
the service. which opened shortly before
s O'Clock. The speaker OF the evening
was Rev. Or. Kerr Boyce Topper Of
Madison Avenue Baptist church, New
York.
Following the opening service DIR. Tup-
per spoke on A Inspirationai Church
Watchword.
He began by explaining that to be real
Christians II was essential to a a
vision OF the true Christ. the embodiment
OF love. sympathy and character.
To gain this real vision Of Christ ones
understanding OF the Bible, it's teachings
and its revelations of sympathy and truth
must be made clearer through an abund-
ance OF thought along the lines Of true
Christianity.
More thar all else. said the speaker, the
true type OF Christianity embodied the
element Of sympathy. Above everything
that had been, the teaching OF Christ and
all other bible teachings were means to
tina end and were so intended 10 be by
God.
Speaking Of the value Of being a Chris
tian. Or. Upper said that Gladstone. not
w~ithstanding his great sagaclty and
power as a statesman. did more for the
British empire and for his fellow coun-
trymen through his qualities as a man
and q Christian and through the infu-
ence that he was thus enabled to exert
than he did by all his qualities as a
statesman. In conclusion. DIR. Upper took
up the subject OF service. In the churches
and I'm private life as a Christian. He
wanted 70 see all the churches e~Xerting
every effort in the direction OF bringing
people to a better understanding OF the
real Christianity and Of the divine prin-
clples OF Jesus Christ. And in private life
the conservation OF ones self TO the ser'
vice OF the Lord. especially I'm practical
and unitarian days like these, counted for
much. and each one so consecrated was
an influence and example for others.

The year has done it's duty. II has been
right busy, too
An it's wantin' a vacation jes' the same
as me or you.
The hay is on the wagon an the corn -
I'm the mill.
The OF year wants a rest before the snow
is on the hin,
II thinks about the May day when the
flowers were bloomin' sweet,
with blessin's freely scattered at the
most unworthy feet,
The rustlin' breeze is prayin' fur them
distant days so fair,
An then comes Injun summertime, in
answer TO the prayer.
II isn't ies' the same as when the year
was young and gay,
For memories fond can ne'er revive the
hlossomings OF May.
It's a sort o. realizin' that existence Is so
brief.
II seems a shame to waste II all in strug-
gle an I'm GRIEF.
An so the year jes' settles back as kin
'as II kin be
An recolleots the clever an the robin in
the tree.
II seems serenely happy when it pauses
In its prime
To smile an rest a little while in Indian
summer-time.
