MILLION AND HALF DOLLAR
BANK FOR MAURY COUNTY
MARRY NATIONAL AND FARMERS AND MER-
CHANTS TO CONSOLIDATE UNDER ONE
MANAGEMENT.
.,mggR OF DIRECTORS INCREASED so AS TO INCLUDE
ALL PRESENT oFFIcIALs-FRY AND eRowNLow
WITH

tural and industrial importance and
that a bank with greater resources
and greater power is necessary for
the continued development of the com
munity. Neither institution by its
single effort was able to reach the
magnitude required, or had hope of
reaching that point except through
years of effort. Having mutual con-
fidence in both institutions and in the
men at the head of affairs, they de-
cided that with the consent of the
stockholders the consolidation was
THE THING and that now is the time
for its consummation.
AS to plans, they have OF course
been entered into, but will not be
given to the public until after the
stockholders take action. 1t is under
stood, however, that the new institu-
ton will have a capital of 100000
with a stockholders liability of $780,
600, and will be known as The Maury
National Bank Also that the Officers
and directors of the Maury National
Bank will continue as officers and d.
rectors of the new institution, but
that Mr.. ]. P. Brownlow and the other
directors of the Farmers & Merchants
Bank will be added to the new dlrec-
tory, and that Messrs. John W. Fry
and J. F. Brownlow will be placed as
additional vice-presidents of the new
bank and will have an active part in
the control and work of the new
institution, and will give personal
care to the interests of their custo-
mers.
The new bank will have a deposit
in round numbers of one million dol
lars. It's capital will be two hundred
thousand dollars. It's circulation two
hundred thousand dollars, surplus
twenty thousand dollars and stock
holders additional liability two hun
dred thousand, so that the new Maury
National Bank will start out with well
over s1.5OO,OO0 assets and, mark the
prediction, it will be brief time in
deed before the new bank will be able
10 make a two million dollar state
ment. 1t will be not only credit to
the town and county, but credit 10
the state and to the south. Maury
countians away from home will point
to it with pride as an indication OF
the resources and financial prosperity
of this section. 1t will be an adver-
tisement that will bring in new capital
and new people and its growth Will
keen pace with that Of the county.
The new bank will use the present
Maury National Bank building, ana
It is possible that the Farmers &
Merchants Bank building may be USED

A million and a half dollar bank for
Columbia
That is a pretty big financial insti-
tp,ion. but this is a big county aud
3 big people any way you look at
things and if all goes according 10
rresent plans Maury county will have
banl.I -, s1,5OOOoO.OO assets by
the end of the next thirty days.
There have been quiet rumors for
The past week or two that a consolida-
tim between the Farmers & Mer-
Merchants Bank and the Maury Ma
tional Bank was probable, but the
first real information given to the
rublic was in Tuesdays Herald when
calls we're published by both banks
for meetings of their respective stock
holders on Thursday, July %. These
calls aroused much interest and there
have been many inquiries regarding
the gc3re and details of the plans,
and what changes would result by
the proposed consolidation.
OF course the consolidation is in the
hands of the stockholders Of the two
institutions and can not be put
through except with their consent, but
the advantages of the con-
soidation to the town and county,
the prestige it will give Maury in
financial circles, combined with the
power. safety and earning capacity
tbe new bank will have are so ap-
parent and make the change so de-
sirable. it is scarcely possible that any
stock holder will be so short-sighted
as to offer any opposition to the plans,
These are times of big affairs and
big institutions. There are no
stauncher or more solvent banks in
Tennessee than the two which 1t is
proposed to consolidate. They have
weathered the stress and storms OF
financial depression. Year by year
they have shown a healthful, steady
growth. even since their first organi-
cation. They have broadened their
field of usefulness, they have increased
in deposits and in total assets. Their
officers have had the confidence OF the
people in the beginning and there has
been no incident in the lives OF the
Institutions or in the conduct Of the
officials which has tended to shake
that confidence. On the other hand
the faith of the people and their pride
in these TWO institutions has grown
with the passing years. They real
lied that their money and their inter
ests were in wise hands and they
were content TO let things remain as
they are.
But the officers of the bank are OF
broader vision. They realize the
growth Of the county and its agricul-

Syrian Girl Takes Stand And Relates
The Details Of Attaek-Positively
Identifies The Man Who Pleads for
Mercy And Less Time.

SPRINGFIELD, Tenn, June 1S.-
Isaac Pamplin, the negro who attempt
ed to criminally assault Annie Seigh
at Ridgetop Wednesday afternoon,
was indicted by the grand jury Thurs
day morning, arraigned for trial at
$3.50 Thursday afternoon, and udner a
plea of guilty, was convicted and SEN
fenced to twenty-one years in the
penitentiary. Pamplin was taken to
Nashville on the night train. and
turned over to the penitentiary au-
thorities.
The jury having been empaneled
and sworn, the indictment read and
the plea of guilty entered, the Attor.
ney General arose to present the case
on behalf of the State. He had
spoken but a few words when he pro-
posed to detail the facts connected
with the case.
At this point it was suggested by
the counsel representing the defen-
dant that the facts could not be re-
lated unless testified to before the
jury, and Annie Sleigh, the young Sy-
rian woman who had been assaulted,
came to the stand.
The facts as detailed by the girl
were in substance as published, ex-
cept that she said the negro ap-
preached her and her sister, asking
TO buy a handkerchief, to which she
replied that she had none to sell him,
and denounced him for having so ap-
preached her. He first grabbed the
witness sister, who jerked loose from
him He then grabbed the witness
and dragged her into the woods. Seiz-
ing her by the throat, he was in the
act of cutting her throat when he was
frightened away by citizen of Ridge
top. who had been attracted to the
scene by the cries Of the young
women and some children, The wit
ness identified the negro from the
stand with vehement and positive GER
tainty.
A packed court room listened to
the evidence of the swarthy little
Syrian woman. who looked to be about
% wears Of age. She told her story
with tensioned frmness,
The Court charged the jury that the
penalty was not less than ten nor
more than twenty-one years for this
class of offense, and the jury retired,
remaining in the jury room but few
minutes. when it reported a punish
ment Of twenty-one years. The Court
ordered the defendant to stand up and
receive his sentence. The negro is OF
small stature, about 20 years OF age
and evidently of little intelligence, for
when the Court passed sentence up
on him he demonstrated, stating that
he could never stand such a term OF
years, begging to be allowed a shorter
term. He declined to testify in his
own behalf though invited 10 do SO
by his attorneys.
Annie Seigh was accompanied to
Springfield by her married sister and
brother, D. Sleigh.

IN FRONTIER STYLE
LONE TEXAS ROBBER
HOLDS UP CASHIER
PLUcKY BRIGAND RoBS FORT
WORTH INSTITUTION IN BROAD
DAY LIGHT.
AND THEN MAKES ESCAPE
Hundreds Of Persons in The Vicinity
Saw Daring Man Enter And Leave
The Banking House-None Sus-
pected His Purpose.

FORT WORTH, Tex, June 23.-In
true frontier style a lone highway
man described as genteel in ap-
pearance and nattily dressed, robbed
the branch banking house of the Wag-
goner Bank & Trust Co. in the most
central section of the downtown bust
ness district of Fort Worth Tuesday
of $500 in currency and made his
escape.
The robbery was the most daring
attempted in Texas in years. Cashier
Walter E. King was alone in the bank
at the time, o'clock, balancing the
transactions of the day. when a well
dressed stranger walked in.
AS the man approached the window
of the cashiers compartment, King
looked up and down the barrel of a
revolver. Next came the demand for
the money in sight.
Make a move or noise of any
kind and III kill YOU" was the greet
ing, declares Mr. King.
The cashier complied, and stufing
the roll of bills, $500, in denomina-
tions ranging from 81 to 500, the man
backed out of the door under cover
of his pistol, and as Mr.. King ran to
the telephone he saw the man walking
down the street and mingling with
crowds with an apparent air of un-
concern.
The police reached the scene five
minutes later, but the stranger had
disappeared. At the time of the rob-
berry hundreds of persons were in the
vicinity of the building, and many
noted the arrival at the bank and the
departure of the man, but his manner
gave no indication of his purpose.
Several declare that he climbed into
waiting automobile after walking
several blocks, but the police place
little credence in this assertion, and
it is believed that he still is in Fort
Worth. Searching parties are out in
force, and every place of possible
hiding is being searched.
The search of the police began i'm
mediately. An interurban car which
left Fort Worth at 4 o'clock for Dali
las was overtaken by officers in an
automobile and the car searched, but
this, the most plausible means OF es-
cape for the man, had not been
utilized.
According TO Cashier King, the man
was about IS years old, tall and slen-
der, and apparently man of refine
ment and was modishly dressed.
The loss to the Waggoner Bank is
covered by insurance. The bank, how
ever, has offered a reward of $1,000,
and a like sum will be offered by the
city for the capture of the highway
man.

one was hurt but the damage will en-
