He has lived here many years, and is
known by nearly everybody. At pres
ent he is our postmaster. which keeps
him in very close touch with the af-
fairs of the community. His knowl-
edge of values and of people will be
benefit TO both the directors and
officers.
The business of the bank at this
time is most prosperous and Is grow
ing continually. Mrs. Reynolds pur-
chased from the bank such securities
as the National Bank Act does not
permit National Banks to hold. viz.
loans on real estate, etc. and checked
against her bank accounts for these
purchases. This naturally shows de-
posits at this time somewhat less than
they were some months ago How
ever. aside from this the deposits have
shown an actual increase.
Since 1t has been known that the
National Bank would be organized,
there have been many opportunities
to sell stock in the bank TO some of
the strongest and most influential
bankers and financial men in the
state. However. il is the policy to
make this a local bank as far as pos
sible Aside from the interests ac-
quired by Mr.. G. A. Baker and Mr.. c,
A Biggs and Mr.. G. r. Rockafellow,
there will be a few influential stock
holders. but generally speaking the
stock will be closely held. Mr.. BIggs.
although not a director, will take a
keen interest in the AFFAIRS OF the
bank. There are few men In Canon
City, II any. that are In better finan-
cial condition than c. A. Biggs.
These frank statements and explain
ations were made 10 our reporter. and
we have no doubt that the public will
be very glad to receive them. Canon
City certainly will have reason to
feel proud OF the Fremont County
National Bank. for there are very few
towns, and this is especially true OF
the West. that have a financial insti-
tuition that Ia so creditable as is our
own bank. Under the new name we
can see no cause why the bank should
not make even more rapid growth
than heretofore. for the reason that
the community is prosperous and is
growing more rapidly.

Ghost and Of faith"
DIR. Mahood is the quietest evangel-
ist who has ever spoken in Canon,
and the deepest, many think.
No description of the scene that fol-
lowed the sermon. and no account of
the sermon itself can do either JUS

The fact is that the Methodist
church of Canon has never been so

The church was again crowded for
the union young peoples meeting at
8 O'Clock. when DR.. Potter spoke ably
and convinclngiy on Three Views OF
Life" He spoke of the materialistic,
the commercial and the divine views
of life. Fifteen or twenty young peo-
pie rose at the conclusion to indicate
a desire TO begin Christian life.
Again, at the time of the evening
service, we're auditorium and school
room both filled with a deeply atten-
tive audience to hear DR.. Mahood

| Despite the fact that the discussion
lasted until a late hour, the subject
was not entirely gone over and it was
decided TO call public meeting at

evening for further consideration of

Manager Campbell of the local tele-

association and explained the changes
the company had made in the conduct
of its business at this point, particu-
larly in relation TO the toll which II
will hereafter impose on subscribers
who use the line for talking with peo-
pie in Florence.
"Seventy-five per cent of all the
talking over the telephone lines be-

Mr.. Campbell, sis of purely social
character. II this can be done ayN
with big saving will be made for the
company and we will be able to spend
that much more in improving the ser

The matter of better service BY
the Western Union Telegraph Com

sidered by the association, and Presi-
dent Hutton was authorized to appoint
a committee of three members to see
what could be done in this direction,
the committee being requested to re-
port at subsequent meeting of the
association.
The question of permitting the
vending of fruit of all kinds at the
Denver and Rio Grande depot was
brought up and an inquiry made If IL
could not be prohibited by some
means.
1 1t was urged that the sale of home
grown fruit at the depot, most OF
which was of the poorer varieties pro-
duced by our orchardists, was preju-
dicial to the horticultural interests OF

A suggestion was made that the
idiffculty might be overcome by licen-
sing the sale of fruits instead of the
system now in vogue, but nothing was
done in relation to it.

THE STORY TELLER.
HIS QUESTION.

II was station agent at town for
several years. said an ex-ralroad man.
and every day OF that time brought a
new surprise as to the stupidity of the
people who travel.
Let me give YOU an instance OF what
! mean. One day, when there were a
dozen or more passengers to go by the
Chicago train, and after each one had
come to the ticket window and made
inquiries | wrote ont and posted up the
following:
1.-The II o'clock train is on time. 1t
will leave at los. 1t will reach Chi
cago at 430 There will be room Nr all
IL.
Every person in the waiting room
came up and read that notice and thor
oughly digested it," continued the t1an
land for the next ten minutes there
were no further inquiries. Then a State
senator, who was going to the city with
a grip in his hand, and who had been
pacing up and down the platform in an
anxious manner tapped on the window.
Well what is it?'
~ wanted to ask about that II o'clock
train.
Good gracious, man, but haven't you
read the notice pasted up?'
Yes. read it
"'Well what more can YOU ask

passenger or freight"
