brate the Coming Wedding of
the First Bride, from Their
Ranks.

Friday evening the H. C. L. Girls
again entertained for Miss Mary Pat
terson. There were eight of the club
present
This crowd has never disbanded,
though the vocation of its members
separated them so that meeting
such as was held Friday evening is
rarity, and was greatly enjoyed by
all.
The H. G. LIS were first organized
by seven girls into a cooking club
during the year 1898. This gradually
grew and developed into what was
thereafter known as Happy Go
Luckies." Such a round of good times
as the girls have always had, is sell
dom seen. Not few can remember
the jollity found in their various
forms of entertainment. their homes
always open for fun making and good
times
In spite of their name the H. G.. L.
girls are surely making their lives
worth while in various ways as their
talent has directed them
Nine of them are graduates of P.
Fl. S; four in 'O6 class, three in 'O7,
two in 'Os.
The first break that Dan Cupid
makes in their circle is by the mar
riage OF Miss Mary Patterson to Mr..

Miss Patterson was presented with
a handsome picture of Hofmann's

Vinall. The evening was certainly a
success. Miss Morris captured the
prize as quite the best poetess of the
cowd. but was infomed that it was to
be given to the guest of honor.
The girl bride pledged herself to
wear Good Luck" articles for each
member of the crowd, which in turn
are to be worn by the other members
when they are brides whether in the
near or far distant future
Before the general separation that
comes to every crowd took place,
there were sixteen members and two

MUST NOT HOLD
ITS OWN STOCK
NOTICE THAT TRUST CON-
PANIES ARE VIOLATING
LAW is BEING SENT
FROM THE OFFICE
OF AUDITOR OF
STATE.

R. B. Oglesbee, clerk in the bank
department of the State Auditors Of
fee, is sending out letters to all trust
companies of the State calling at
tention to the fact that it is a viola
ton of the law for trust company
to own its own stock. "The stock Of
trust company" the letters say
when once issued can not again be
acquired by the company by purchase
or otherwise and it can not be held
by the company as security"
There are ninety-one trust COM
panies in the State and the annual
reports of these companies show that
in many cases the stock of the COM
panies is held by the companies as
collateral securities for loans. In
he letters which are now being sent
ut these companies are ordered to
release such stock at once. 1t will
become necessary either to cancel
the loan or to provide new and diff
ferent security
1t is explained by Mr.. Oglesbee
that the holding of its own stock as
security for a loan contemplates that
the company, when the loan is not
paid, will take possession of the
stock which secured the loan In such
case the company becomes the owner
of its own stock and this is distinct
violation of the law Mr. Oglesbee
does not know just how much stock
is held by trust companies in this way
but he says it is large amount.
Instructing the trust companies as
to the course they shall pursue in
such cases, the letter says: IF your
company holds any of its own stock
as collateral or otherwise, you are
required to release it at once, and to
substitute other security or collect
the loan, and to report TO me within
ten days from your receipt OF this
showing that you have done so.'
The holding of their own stock
by State banks is an evil which Mr.
Billheimer, the State Auditor, attack
ed some time ago. Changes were
made by the banks and the reports of
the banks now make a satisfactory
showing. He hopes TO have the trust
companies make the same showing.
