DIDN'T RESURRECT:
COMPANY BROKE
ALLEGEB' MESSIAH FAILED TO
MAKE GOOD AND DuPES
QUIT BUSINESS.

BRISTOL, Tenn July 26.-The
100000 plant of the Ordway Manufac.
turing Company in this city will be
sold by the trustees for the creditors.
There are claims against the property
aggregating $4,000 held chiefly by
Bristol banks
This property was forced on the
market by the failure Of the Koresnan
Unity, which was owned by the Kore-
shans. This religious organization
failed last winter when DR.. C. X.
Teed, the self-styled Messiah, died and
failed to keep his word and resurrect
within three days. As this was the
chief tenet of the belief, that Teed
was immortal and had power over the
grave, his failure to make good broke
up his organization, of which com
munism and ceibracy were fundamen-
tai doctrines.

and fired twice, but the pistol does
not carry the distance between the

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inf1amed condition of the mucous lin.
ing the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re.
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

EDITORS BRAIN
MARK BASSETT FOUND ON FLOOR
WITH WOUND IN HIS
HEAD.

TULSA, Okla, July 26.-With a %
calibre pistol lying on the floor be-
side him, Mark Bassett, editor of the
Tulsa Daily News former publisher
at NATION and Kankakee, ILL.,, and
manager of the Yates Press Bureau
in the Republican primary campaign
in Illinois last year, was found in the
shop of the A. F. Black Printing Com
pany Monday morning by his little
son. Although Barrett was shot
through the brain, he is still alive at
the hospital, where he was removed.
There is but little chance for his re-
covery. Opinion is divided as to
whether the shooting was an attempt
at murder or a suicide.

70 The PUBLIC

At a meeting OF the stockholders
OF the Maury National Bank and the
Farmers & Merchants Bank held in
their respective banking houses July
22nd. the action heretofore had By the
directors of the said banks recon-
mending the consolidation of the two
banks, with capital stock OF S2CO.O 900
and surplus account of $4,000. was
unanimously adopted. the merger TO
be made August LIST.
As officers of these two institutions
and of the consolidated bank we wish
10 say that the interest of the pub
lie has been carefully considered in
this transaction as well as that OF
the stockholders of the two banks
In this merger there are numerous
advantages both to the public as well
as TO the stockholders.
In the first place We will have more
money to handle the business of the
community IN that the cash reserve
which was unnecessarily large in the
two institutions will not necessarily
be so large in the consolidation. Ref
erence to the late statements OF the
two institutions will show a cash re-
serve carried by the two banks Of
100000. In the merger a large per
cent of this will be free for business
uses. We felt that the business of
the town and county demands larg-
er capitalized bank than either insti-
tuition could afford to employ in its
separate capacity. With a capital
stock of 100000 and double liability
of the stockholders of another 5000.
900, together with the surplus of the
bank, they afford an absolutely safe
plate for the deposit of funds. In
this we feel that we will be able to
bring out money which has heretofore
been more or less timid. We feel
that the people of Columbia and Maui
ry county would have just cause for
pride in an institution with million
and half dollars resources 1t would
appear from the expressions we re-
ceived from the public after thirty
days consideration that the merger is
giving uniform satisfaction.
We wish to state further to the pa
irons of the Farmers & Merchants |
Bank that their interests will be look |
ed after and their demands cared for
even better tnah they have been in |
the past. At a meeting of the direc- |
tors of the Maury National Bank July |
22nd, Messrs. ]. F. Brownlow and Jno-
W. Fry We're duly elected vice presi-
dents of the Maury National Bank
and the board of directors was in.
creased to twenty-five. The new di.
rectors will be qualified in the
next few days and the personnel of
the new board made public
With the consolidated strength of
the two banks combined. with the
fifteen years of business growth and
of the two institutions, we
feel that we will have such bank as
the community needs.
We most earnestly invite the pa
tronage of all classes. The same care
full attention will be given to small
accounts as to the large and we ex.
tend cordial invitation to the people
Of Columbia and Maury county to
make use of the services of the cor
bank
