Bank Of Higginsyire Increases Capital.

66fAhN ~ SoRAAuls
The Board of Directors of the
Bank of Higginsville met last
week and aside from transact
ing the routine business de-
cided to increase the capital
stock of the bank from $50, 000.0 90.
to 100000. With one excep-
ton this is now the largest cap
italized bank in Lafayette county
and from a business standpoint
surpasses all others.
This bank was organized in
1882 and its business record dur
ing the past quarter OF a century
has well illustrated the old pro
verb that nothing succeeds like
success" Starting in a small
way, 1t has by careful and con
sentative business methods be-
come one of the most substantial
institutions in this part of the
state, and today occupies quar-
tiers that any institution might
well feel proud Of. The building
was planned and erected espec-
tally for the bank, and to the end
that it would be a permanent
home for the institution, hence
no expense or effort was spared
to procure the best and most
modern available. Every citi-
zen Of Higginsville and Lafayette
county can well point with pride
to this institution as banks are
in a great measure the time
keepers of the progress of a
town and community,
It's directors and officers are
from the ranks of the best citi-
zens of the community and it's
management today is the same
that has characterized it during
its entire business career. -Hig

safe to say, however, that tn,
yield will be somewhat below
that estimated by our CORES
pondents on the first of July.
Quite a number of CORE.
spondents state that the yield
since t%hreshing has begun is not
holding up to their first esti-
mates. There will probably be
a decreased yield this year com
pared with last year of seven or
eight million bushels. The final
estimate for last year was 49,,
S30,014 bushels.
OATS. AS a rule, oats is maxi
ing a very unsatisfactory yield,
and our reports indicate that
the final estimate will show a
lighter crop than for several
years.
HAY. The hay harvest has
been practically completed and
a large crop of excellent hay has
been gathered. Practically all
the hay was saved in good con
dition, except on account of the
pressure of other farm work
much of the crop was allowed to
stand in the meadow until it got
overripe before it could be har-
vested.
COTTON. Cotton has made
satisfactory progress during the
month and the present condition
Of the crop in southeast Missouri,
where most of it is produced, is
as compared with the condi-
Of n one month ago and 66
At the same time last year.
FRUITS. The condition Of the
crop is very irregular but
is a great deal better than it was
year, For the first time in
many years the average condi-
ton of the peach crop is higher
than that Of apples. In nearly
sections of the state peaches
a higher condition than ap-
pies. Pears are perhaps the
poorest crop. In many neigh.
borhoods there are scarcely any
pears.

crop is more irregular than it
has been for a number of years.
Some fields are in fine condition

One year ago on the same date
the crop was IS days later than

acreage planted for this year
was 7, 291,800, but on account of
overflow on bottom lands and

was estimated that IA per cent
of the total acreage had been
lost on July 1st. OF this aban-

it's annual reunion and smoker. There
were 200 present, and the pipes were
turning out smoke in great volumes.
The following officers for the ensuing
year were installed: John J.. Quinlan,

dent; Frank NJ. Hall, secretary and
