as they have their financial insti-'
tuition SO ably and co~urteously man

Ballew Lumber & Hardware
Co.
One of the largest enterprises of
the town is the Ballew Lumber g.
Hardware company, which was cs-
tablished in June 1902, and has
been doing an increasing business
since. w. o. Ballew of Princeton,
Mo-, has had charge OF the busi-
ness from the start and now owns
a controlling interest. He reports

and fine practice as well as envi-
able reputation as successful prac-
titioners.
They also have a well stocked
drug store in connection with their
practice. Their fine standing is
in keeping with their training and
family connection and is we'll de-
served.

r. f. Brown, Dentist, is another
son of Judge Brown. He was a
graduate Of the dental department
of Washington University In 1904
and now has an office in Malta
Bend where he spends the first
three days OF each week and one
at Waverly where he spends the
last three days. He is worthy of
and receiving a good patronage
from his communities.

W. 6. Siusher g. Son.

The senior member OF this firm
is a landmark of the community
and came here in 1857, when there
were only three SIN Ill dwellings.
He has helped to build nearly every
structure since and is still hale and
hearty. They arc conducting an
undertaking business, dealing in
lumber, contracting and building,
carry a line of cement and do work
in that line. Frank Slushar , the
junior member, is al &ble work.
man and together they are doing
a profitable and pleasant business.
j. w. Franklin & Sons
This firm is comparatively new
but w~ide-Iwaka. j. w. Franklin
established the business il 1890.
In 1895 they moved to Coffeyville,
Kansas, but soon foI1l that the
big talk o; the southwest was not
equal in any way to the wealth and
solidity of their hom2 town. The
firm consists of j. w Franklin and

branch stores at Wav2r.y and We'll
lington.
II. l. Blosser conducts a first
class livery business ald Walter
Meinershagen the blacksmith and
wagon making business, but we
were unable on account OF lack OF
time to get particulars from them.
They are both peasant gentlemen
and deserving o: a liberal patron
age.
Bradshaw & Rozell are the eff
ficient BARRIERS of Malta Bend.
j. B. Moritz conducts the meat

and Elizabeth Millice, Henry Millice

The church has advanced contin-
ually since and now has a good
membership.
An A. o. U. w. lodge was organ
Uized in 1879, a Good Templar
lodge in 1873.
John W. Layne an extensive cat
tie dealer! founded the town of
Laynesville, north OF Malta Bead
in 1870. The site of this town was
carried into the river in the flood
OF 1908 and the river now flows
over the old site. We present a
picture taken at the time from near
this point.
The oldest citizen Of Malta Bend
at present is Judge A. F. Brown.
He was born in Buckingham coun-
ty, Va, in 1929 and came to Malta
Bend with his parents in 1882 and
has resided upon his present place
since-the remarkable period of
n years. He was elected county
Judge in 1874 and served six years.
He has always taken a prominent
part in Saline county politics and
public matters.
The Marshall republican., 1909-04-23

ing. The bend in the river assum-
ed the name of the steamboat and
the town back on the bluff the
same name.
Although Malta Bend has good
railroad facilities now she feels
pretty independent in her fertile
surroundings and takes good care
her people and home industries.
Early in 1857 d. d. Buie of Mar
shall built a very commodious
store which did a splendid mercan-
tile business. This was the first
business establishment.
During the summer and fall of
1867 several prominent old fami-
lies settled here-E. Cooper and
family, DIR. A. Van Meter and fam
lily; Miles Fl. Van Meter and family
From then on a steady immigra-
ton set in.
The Methodist Episcopal church
of Malta Bend was organized the
third Sunday in October, 1855, at
the home of John Lunbeck. The
original members were John and
Matilda Lunbeck, Robert, Virgil,
Caroline and Mary j. Lunbeck Geo

newspaper man ana his papa. is
well received.
Perry Wilson came here in Aug.
1902, and succeeded Jake School,
ey in his grocery and confection-
cry. He has since been improving
and increasing his business and
has a store that does credit to the
town.
The artesian well, which we pre-
sent a picture of, is again attract
ing much attention. John Waller
purchased the we'll and grounds last
month and while III says he doesn't
know yet what he will do with it,
other persons who do know say he
is backed by some Kansas City par
ties who will shortly erect a swim
ming pool and hotel and conduct a
health resort.
The Marshall republican., 1909-04-23

This important factor of the
towns business was established in
1891 but for various eason was
not very successful. In 1896 it was
re-organized under the present
management and with the present
cashier A. s. Van Anglen in charge.
The bank then had a capital stock
OF $4,000 but increasing business
compelled raising it to 10000.
There is also a surplus and undi-
vided profit of $4,000.
When Mr.. Van Anglen assumed
charge the deposits were only
about $4,000 but have since grown
to the big total OF about 1925, 900,
showing good management, pub
lie confidence and a rich commun-
ity.
The banks loans also have in
creased from $4,000 in 1896 to about
$4,000 at present.
The officers of the bank are
Judge A. F. Brown, president, A.
L. Hawkins, vice-president; A. s.
Van Anglen, cashier; Fred Stock
man, assistant cashier; Archie M.
The Marshall republican., 1909-04-23

Malta Bend is located on what is
known as the Petit Saw Plains in
Grand Pass township. 1t was laid
off by Joseph r. Lubbock in 1867.
There were then three dwelling
houses, a dry goods and variety
store and postoffice, including the
families of Mr.. Lubbock, DR.. Jas.
McNutt, w. H. Squairs and j. d.
Reeves.
The wonderfully rich country
surrounding quickly attracted
many eastern farmers of means to
this place. They were sober, in
dustrious and honest and the little
town soon grew into a town of
prominence and gained a. reputa-
ton as n of wealth and progress
siveness. 1t now has a population
Of about 600 and still is recognized
as the garden spot of Saline as
well as of the state from an agri-
cultural point. The town has a
a splendid high school, churches,
ice-plant, good stores, etc.
The town received its name from
the boat Malta which struck a snag
and sank at the bend in the river
now known as the Malta Bend land
