BILL AND THE COW.

A petition was presented to the
city council last night asking for the
appointment of w. r. Gibson as
councilman from the Sixth ward to
I'LL the vacancy caused by the re
moval Of w. Il. Terrell. The pet!.
ton was laid on the table. AS the
council now stands. five members oil
the council favor the adoption of an
ordinance excluding COWS from the
streets, unless in charge OF some
one, wniie roII favor letting them
run at large. 1t is believed that Mr.
Gibson would vote with the four
making the council a tie and Mayor
Carter is strongly opposed to the
ordinance. The chances are that the
COW question will defeat Billy
who is generally acceptable. and has
served the city well on several pr
viOus occasions.

CITIZENS BANK
STILL CLOSED
BECKLEY INSTITUTION SOL
VENT, But CANNOT RAISE
MONEY.

The Citizen Bank OF Beckley,
which closed its doors Tuesday, lie
still in the hands OF Commissioner
Matthews. The bank had on deposit
about $26O,OOO and in the effort to
accommodate its customers it's funds
were loaned pretty close A little
run last week brought it's available
cash below the legal reserve and the
cashier went to Richmond Sunday
where he got enough cash, as h
thought, to tide them over. Ru-
mors of his absence got afioat, how
ever, wild stories were circulatNi,
and on Monday the run was renewed.
The directors are trying to ar
range matters SO that the bank may
resume.
The First National Bank had a
small run, but it was able to meet
It, and all danger is past so far as It
is concerned. It's deposits amount
to over 5000, 900, and it is regarded
as one of the strongest institutions
in the state.
