fe keenly regretted by large
circle of friends. The CHRONICLE
wishes them the highest possible
success and happiness in tlieir new

not find it incompatible with
either to mako frequent visits to
Beach, if not their permanent
home. Mr.. John Keohane of the
law firm of Keohane & Gallagher
will succeed Mr.. Harper in the
direction of the affairs of the
bank. The acquisition of Mr..
keohane will b. q valuable asset
to the bank and the directors are
to be congratulated on their ex-
cellent choice. He is an exper-
ienced banker, having been asso-
ciated with Congressman Marshall
FOR several years in his line of
banks in the eastern part of the
state. He has also had mach
experience in business other than
banking and this, coupled with
his legal training, knowledge of
of men gained by daily intercourse
with all classes during period
of years, and wids acquaintance
IN Billings county, peculiarly fit
him for the position. His integ-
rity and psrosnal habits are above
reproach; coming to Billings
county with the indorsement of
many of tho leading business men
and lawyers Of the state, he has
conducted him mself so as to COM
mand the confidence and respect
Of all. Under his guidance the
CHRONICLE predicts that our bank
will soon become the leading tinan-
| cial institution Of the county, and
at an early day be reconed among
the strongest in the state.
