FARMERS BANK DEPOSITS

Lincoln county, in this state, had de-
posits to the amount of So, 1897,
which is an average approximately
of $50 for each resident Of the coun-
ty. This is the showing made in a
purely agricultural county, which
has no large town within its borders
and it is made at a time when the
expenses of the harvest has just been
met and when but a small portion
of the wheat crop, the principal sta
pie, had yet been sold.
A similar condition of affairs can
be found anywhere throughout the
wheat belt of this state, where the
farmers always have good crops and
where for several years past they
have also had good prices. The
wave of depression which touch
ed other parts of the country two
years ago had no noticeable effect
in that portion of this state, and the

With the banks carrying such

But the farmers are in no appar-

table beside her; presently she picked
them up.in her fingers, dried them on
her handkerchief, replaced them In
the empty chambers of the revolver,
and, crossing the room, laid 1t on the

Then she sank her hands deep In
the wide pockets of her empire dress

instant, sighed heavily, and rang the

said briefly:

The graduating exercises of the

evening at the Baptist church. The
class consists of four boys, a rather
unusual occurrence for a class to be
entirely composed of boys. The musical
part OF the program was furnished en-
tirely by the school and considering the
fact there is no musical course in con-
nection with the school their part was
well carried out.
The singing of Miss Rea Seaman was
especially fine and showed plainly that
Sumner could easily be among the best
of towns, vocally al least, if there were
more advantages offered along that line.
The main feature of the exercises was
the address by Com. Pike, whose
subject, Americas Work" was handl-
