was given a heavy blow on the left
side Of his forehead with the butt Of
pistol In the hands of Gaines.

Ing nothing to defend himself
with except his walking stick. Local

THE CHANGE AT PEOPLES BANK
w. "A. Strotller Wishes to Retire from
Presidcncy--iiusitie 10 Continue.

S~fhe local patrons of the Peoples
Bank were surprised last Saturday
when the announcement was made
that the Peoples Bank had closed
business. w. A. StrothGr, the presi-
dent OF the bank, desires to retire
from that position In order to be re-
lieyed of the strain of active busi-
ness, and 1t was his purpose to retire
January /, 1910. However, no one
as yet has been chosen to assume the
presidency, and the bank Is again
open, Mr.. Strother having agreed to
continue as heretofore until his sue
cessOr can be chosen. He was seen
yesterday, and on inquiring Of him as
to the future plans Of the bank he
said:
"The Peoples Bank has Just paid
itaeSegular annual dividend Of 8 per
& Non It's capital stock of 100000,
nfaKing $2,400, and placed $500 to
the surplus fund. This makes the
capital stock stand at present $37,-
500. The bank has made money for
the stockholders, and the value Of
the stock Is now $125 per share. The
institution Is In better condition than
ever before. Business will be con-
tinued as heretofore until some sat
isfactory person can be elected to
take charge as president in my place.
1t is my desire to retire from the real
activities Of business. want a rest"
Mr.. Strother, who has financed the
institution for n number Of years,
thinks his health will not permit of
so much work, and he with the stock
holders and directors are now look
Ing for one OF their number with suf-
ficient stock holdings to take his
place. Mr.. Strother also mentioned
that he could easily liquidate, but
this at once brought on a protest of
all the stockholders, and many dis!n-
terested parties, so he will remain as
usual until some good man In whom
every one will have confidence can
be placed at the helm.
The Peoples Bank has done q
business from It's start, and
has proven to be great benefit to
the business interests Of the town.
The public generally will be glad to
learn that there Is to be no suspen-
sion of the business. Mr.. Strother
has made an able president, and his
retention In that position would be
of signal benefit to the bank. Who
ever may be chosen to succeed him.
his retiring will come as a source of
regret.
