On March IL. 1905, this bank was
burgalarized and over 81 10000 was
stolen, the vaults being blown open
and the contents removed. Blu. not
withstanding the safe was COM
pletely wrecked and all the money
in it stolen. still the confidence in
the bank was rot in the least shaken.
as the bank opened up on the fol-
lowing morning for business and re-
eeived more deposits during the day
than 1t paid out, and within week
all the stolen money was replaced by
the Insurance Company. Immediate
" after this, the officers decided to
install one of the best equipped and
strongest safes on the market, and
today a Mosler-Corliss Patent bali
bearing safe is used. This safe
weighs 1900 pounds, is provided
with double time lock, and three
apartments for money, and makes
destruction impossible. Mr.. Solon
Palmer is recognized as one of the
most able bankers in Kentucky; his
word is his bond. and all business in
trusted to this bank will be fully
guarded.

BENrON'S HISTORY

In 1912 the place was selected on
a tract of land belonging to Francis
Clayton, upon which the town CT
Benton was located. which is now
the county seat of Marshall county.
1t was incorporated by an act of the
legislature and approved by his Ex-
cellency William Owsley, then gov
ernor of the state, January IL, 1S45.
The charter of the town was first
amended September 20. 1861, and a
few other similar acts were passed
afterwards. and again on March IL,
1873, Governor James B. McCreary
approved an act reducing into one
all other acts pertaining to the town
All of these acts became null and
void by virtue of new laws govern
ing towns of the Sixth class that
were passed by the first Legislature
under the new constitution, and
from that time until the present,
general, and not special, laws have
governed towns of this class.
Barry's Addition was made to the
town in 1890. which was made a
part of the corporate territory of the
town in 1898. The old part of the
town was plated and accurately laid
of into streets. alleys, etc, by z.
Palmer. and ordered TO record In
the county clerks Office by the
county court in May 1874. The
town then contained five streets
running east and west. and six
streets running north and south,
and 113 lots and squares. The pub
lie square contains 20S feet.
Benton IS situated near the GEN.
ter of the county. about one mile
west of Clark's river, and 22 miles
south of Paducah, and like the great
city of Rome. she sets on seven hills
surrounded on the south and west
by hills. and on the east and north
by the rich and loamy farming lands
of Clark's river bottoms.
The Paducah, Tennessee and Ala
bama railroad was built in 1890
and runs within one-half mile OF
the court house. which has greatly
added to the life and business pros
perity of the ton. and has also made
It the trade center of the county.
The town was named in honor OF
Thomas II. Benton. the great sena-
tor of Missouri, and though o small
