CASHIER ABSENT
 BANK IS CLOSED Expert Accountant at Work on Bank of Sulphur
 Rock Books.
E. M. FORD LEFT A NOTE
Directors Preferred to Close Doors Until Statement of Facts
 Can Be Made.

Sulphur Rock, Aug. 13.-Au expert accountant is busy checking up the books of the Bank of Sulphur Rock. the doors of which were closed few days ago by the directors, who pre- ferred to suspend uptil the true situa- tion is ascertained.
 Thursday morning one of the off cers of the bank found note frOrl E. M. Ford, the cashier, who has practically had charge of all the af- fairs of the institution, that he had gone to Missouri to take his family for vacation. A meeting of the di- rectors was called and it was de- cided to suspend and secure all ex- pert to check over the accounts The officers of the bank are among the most substantial men of the commun- ity and it is not believed the deposi- tors will lose if the bank proves in- solvent. Nothing has been heard from MT. Ford since he left, and the officials of the bank decline to give out anything until the expert account ant makes a report.
 The banks suspension will not af- feet any of the other financial insti- tutions of the county.
