Bank of Green Forest Declares Dividend and Elects Officers
 RESOURCES

The above is a brief statement of the condition of the Bank of Green Forest at the close of busi- ness on last Saturday, following which the annual meeting of the stockholders was held.
 Upon this condition the stock holders were fully warranted in declaring dividend of 15 per cent, which, in view of the turbu- lant wave that swept over the financial world last fall leaving a crimp from which many banks have not recovered yet. is a remarkably good showing. In fact, it would be good one for prosperous times, and it speaks volumes for the stable condition of the community as we'll as for the bank itself.
 The meeting of the stockholders was harmonious in every respect and the officers in charge of the banks business were highly con- piimented for the efficiency of their services.
 President J. A. Buell. reviewed his experiences as cashier and later as president of the bank and dropped several good hints as to the duties of stockholders and directors with respect to safe banking. While he was deeply grateful for repeated expressions of confidence in him by the stock holders, he felt that it is due him and better for the bank that he be permitted to retire from official position, contending that the position of president should be held by some one who holds more etock than he does.
 The wishes of MT. Buell. were reluctantly acquiesced in, and J. F. Tanning was chosen as his successor.
 Cashier c. D. Wall informed the meeting that he had disposed of his stock in the bank to w. L. Sneed and S. N. Edgmon and was, not an applicant. W. L. Sneed was chosen vice presi- dent and s. N. Edgmon cashier and the two will, with such help as they may deem necessary to employ, conduct the busin ess of the bank the ensuing year.
 A new board of directors were chosen as follows: J. F. Tanning, w. l.. Sneed, M. s. Coxsey, G. w. Coxsey, John Stafford, Joe Villines and J. L.. Rhodes.
 A resolution was unanimously adopted authorizing the.'purchase of a suit of clothes including, shoes, hat, shirt, etc., to be pres. ented to J. A. Buell., the retiring president, as an expression of ap- preciation of his efficient services during the past IS months.
