VIM PARISH BANK
CHANGES PRESIDENT
n. N. Fisher Retires and j. S.
Hunt will Now Direct the
Affairs Of the Bank.

Last week reports were in cir.
culation of projected changes in
the management of the affairs of
the VIM Parish Bank, of the
facts with which The Sentinel
was cognizant. but by request OF
the parties associated with the
transaction, deferred any par
ticulars.
Owing to the pressure of other
interests Mr.. NJ. Nj. Fisher, the
retiring president, desired to
dispose of his stock i'm the bank.
Messrs. j. S. Hunt, connected
with the Sulphur Timber &
Lumber Company, and B. w.
Bailey became the purchasers of
the stock owned by Mr.. Fisher.
who resigned the presidency of
the institution and was succeeded
by Mr.. Hunt, who was elected to
the position at a meeting of the
board of directors on the previous
Wednesday.
S Mr.. Hunt is well known in this
community as an energetic and
progressive business man who is
connected with large and I'M
portant business interests here.
He brings method, experience
and energy to the new position
which be has assumed.
MIR. b. w. Bailey is not less
fayorahly known as an active,
energetic business man whose
reputation for progress has been
well and widely established in
this community.
All kinds of sensational rumors
were afloat connected with this
change, but its final consumma-
ton was simply BUSINESS deal
between the parties in interest
and the affairs of the bank will be
conducted on its own legitimate
base of operations.
Mr.. Fisher has large business
Interests here and farming
interests near Clarence that will
occupy his time aud energy. He
is q stock holder i'm the Winfield
Furniture Company, one of the
finest business firms of Winfield.
His future plans are unknown,
but he has always been an active
and useful citizen of this place,
taking lively part in its re-
markable progress and develop
ment. 1t is trusted that he will
continue to make Winfield his
permanent residence.

Winfield Is generally prolific
10 things that are first class. This
fact is brought forcibIy to mind
by seeing, Tuesday, a splendid
specimen of a hog that was

city market. This fine animal
was raisr,l here In Winfield BY
Mr.. j. W. Dickerson and weighed

Presbyterian Meetings.

Presbyterian Meetings.
According to previous an
nouncement, Rev. VIM. III.
Richardson of Nashville. Tenn.
iuaugurated a series of meetings
at the First Methodist Church
last Sunday in the interest Of
the Presbyterian denomination.
He is being assisted in these
services, which have continued
throughout the present week, by
Rev. A. 5. j. Neal, the pastor in
charge.
Sunday morning and night
were ideal in atmospheric con-
ditiOns and the edifice was packed
with people. particularly at night
Taking as his text for the evening
service: "For l am not ashamed
of the Gospel of Christ: for it Is
the power of God unto salvation
to every one that believeth," the
reverend expounder of the gospel
preached very effective and
practical discourse on this
doctrine. He brought home to
the hearts of his hearers the
necessity, the force, the power of
confessing openly the belief in
the doctine of an active and live
faith and belief. He detained
in strong terms against the
teachings of agnostics and the
utter falsity of their utterances.
Rev. w. HI. Richardson, is not
only an earnest and impressive
expounder of the gospel, but
argues the truth of the scriptures
in such persuasive and eloquent
style as to carry conviction with
his words. He has excited great
interest as evidenced by the
numerously attended meetings
throughout the present week.
Revival.
An energetic revival was in
augurated last Friday night at
the Methodist Protestant Church
IN Winfield, and has been con-
tinued through the present week.
Rev. Floyd r. Williams, the local
pastor, has secured the services
of Rev. HI. A. " God, who has
been conducting the meetings
during the present week. Rev.
Wood is from Hudson and is
comparatively young man. He
is an earnest, fluent and enter
tanning preacher, and has awak-
ened the deepest interest among
the people who have attended
these meetings. Fine audiences
have been in attendance during
the week and there has been a
decided awakening among those
who have had tho privilege and
pleasure of listening to Rev.
Wood.

GRANGE NATIONAL BANKS.
Orange National eankers' Association

Orange National Banksrs' Association
Of America Recently orsanixsd.
On Oct. Il a convention was held at
Williamsport, Pa, which is the first
Of Its kind and deserves more than
casual attention. 1t was the meeting
for the organization Of what has been
styled as the Grange National Bank
ers' Association of America. Its OBJ
feet Is to extend the system of grange
national banks which has been SO sue
cessful In Pennsylvania to other states
in the Union where the grange Is or
ganized. There are now fourteen
grange banks in Pennsylvania, and
they sent seventyfve representatives
to the Williamsport meeting. John G.
McHenry Of Benton was elected presi-
dent of the association and Il. R Dor
sett of Mansfield was elected secretary.
Mr.. McHenry said that thus far they
have in fourteen banks a total number
Of 2,100 stockholders, 1856 directors and
officers, with $S82 600 of money in
vested, aud in every instance the hold
ing control Of these organizations lies
entirely with grange Patrons. He also
remarked that the movement Is not
antagonistic to other banking institu-
tons. and that this is true is shown
from the fact that while the deposits
have exceeded their expectations yet
the older banks have likewise met with
a continuous growth in deposits. This
may seem strange. but it seems to indi-
cate, says the Financial Age. that the
farming community had been averse to
depositing money In banks and has
been boarding 1t in different places.
II the grange bank movement succeeds
in coaxing these funds from their hid
ing places a benefit national in Its
character will be accomplished.

4. orial Day. In this statement +
+ Fish Commissioner Farr tells +
T. why:
+ +++ +++ (.
Game and Fish, Denver, Colorado,
May 20, 1908.
Whereas, 1t seems to be the ssn-
timent of the people of the state, as
is evidenced by the hundreds of ap-
peals received by the commissioner,
that no action be '.aken with parties
who fish on Decoration day, this be-
ing only two days in advance OF the
regular time for opening of the sea
son, and as Decoration day falls on
Saturday, the last day of the week;
and,
"Whsreas, 1t is the intention of
the game and fish commissioner to
conform 20 the wishes of the people
of the state, where it can be consist
emily done and to DO that which Will
accomplish the greater good for the
greatest nnmher of people; and,
whereas, a large percentage of
the people of the state are anxious
to get out for innocent amusements
and recreation. and while the open
ing OF the season on Decoration day
might occasion some criticism, and
unfavorable comment, still, II seems
best to give those who are confined
for a greater portion Of the tim- an
early opportunity for the recreation
which they so much desire and
which is productive of so much bene-
fit to them without any intention OF
desecrating this holiday. which is
sacred to us all, or without anNhde-
sire to offer any disrespect to ANY
person who mighl not think that
Decoration day should be celebrated
by going fishing, at the same time
each one should be left free to cele-
brate this day as he sees fit.
Now. therefore, | hereby give no.
tice that the game and fish depart
ment will not institute or encourage
prosecutions for violations of the
fishing law relative to the open sea-
son of such persons as may see fit
to fish on Decoration day and the
day following, May 80 and 81.
