We feel very grateful to our
friends and patrons for making
this showing possible.
Notwithstanding the fact that
we have been in business only a
little over two months, we have
built up business that bank of
six months standing should be
proud Of.
This good showing only speaks
the financial condition of our coun-
ty, and goes further to show that
when the available banking busi-
ness of the county has been devel-
oped the combined banks of the
county will be able to show an as
set of from $25O,0O0.to 100000.
Benton County has-had it's draw
backs in banking business, but it
has been the means of throwing
safeguards around banks, such as
strong directory and financial COM
mittees, whose duty is to examine
regularly the condition of the bank.
Fortunes have to be built, and
through banks is the best means
ever been found for the beginning.
We all know by experience that as
long as we keep money in our pock-
ct we are more apt to spent it for
things that attract us for the pres
ent. But when we start bank &C
count we take pride in seeing it
grow, and before we hardly realize
it we have accumulated enough to
buy farm or start us in, business
which leads to our fortune.
SO now is the time to commence,
snd start right by depositing your
first FIVE dollars in the Farmers and
Merchants Bank, then add to it
and see how fast it will grow.
With best wishes for prosper
GUS year, we remain

Editor THE CHRONICLE:
For the information Of the peo-
pie of the eighth district who are
interested in schools, [ wish to
make statement through the col
umns of your valued paper show
ing the condition of our district.
On July l, 1904, there were 262
children of school age la the dis
trict. At $3.50 per scholar this
would be 1855 to the district, and
there are six houses in the district,
which would give to each house
$109.163.
Of course that amount of money
will not run a school long. How
ever, l only see three ways by
which to lengthen the school term.
One is to levy more tax, reduce the
mum Der of houses or raise more
children. S. A. BYRN,
Clerk.
P. 81 might say here that our
school CBaker's Chapel commeno-
ed November l, and if public talk
among the patrons and the pupils
counts-fo for anything, it is the best
schoolSwe have had for years.
So far the school has averaged
48 scholars twice the number of
students of any school since | have
been a director. [ attribute this
to two things, one 10 our teacher,
Mr.. Balm, and the other to win
ter school.

hiah Pressure DAYS.

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to
hold their own nowadays. Never
were the demands Of business, the
wants Of the family, the requirements
of society, more numerous. The first
effect Of the praiseworthy effort to
keep up with all these things is com
monty seen in weakened or debil-
itated condition of the nervous sys-
TEN, which results in dyspepsia, de-
fective nutrition of both body and
brain, and in extreme cases in com
plete nervous prostration. 1t is clear
ly seen that what is needed is what
will sustain the system, give yigor
and tone to the nerves, and keep the
digestive and assimilative functions
healthy and active. From personal
knowledge, we can recommend Hood +
Sarsaparilla for this purpose. 1t acts
on all the vital organs, builds up the
whole system, and fits men and wo-
men for these high-pressure days.

Word has been received of the sud
den death, by heart disease, of George
Hunt, native of Lambertville, near
Burlington, Kansas, April 25th. He
was son of the late Burrowes Hunt,
and brother of Thomas II. Hunt, of
this city, and Henry G. and Susan
Hunt, of Beverly.
Mr.. Hunt went west about 1854 and
lived for year in Iowa. Later he
went overland to California and spent
some time prospecting there for gold
returning by way of Panama, walking
across the Isthumus, where he con-
tracted Chagres fever, and had no
recollection of anything after going
aboard ship at Colon until he found
himself ut home. When the war broke
out Mr.. Hunt enlisted for months
in Captain Angels Co. the first out of
Lambertville, and was afterward EN-
ployed in the Quartermaster' depart
ment of the Army of the Potomac.
After the War Mr.. Hunt prospe cted
through Colorado and Montana MAX
ing quite successful strike in Mon
tana, he sold out and returned East
with his partner. Mr.. Tom Baker.
Later, they fitted out team in In
diana and prospected for location to
pre- empt land for farming. Travel
ing through Nebraska and down into
Kansas, they settled i'll Coffey Co.
Perhaps the Hebron family from
kentucky, the first settlers i'll tina t
part of Kansas, with family of mar
riageable daughters, decided the
point of location, for Mr.. Hunt and
Mr.. Baker soon married sisters and
occupied large farms.
Mr.. Hunt was II years old and
leaves widow, four sons and II daugh-
ter.
