GUARANTEE BANK IN
 RECEIVERS HANDS Webb Confident of Fighting
 Banks Affairs SAYS MONEY IS IN SIGHT President of Institution Says He Was Greatly Surprised at ActiOn-Had Placed $61 900 of His Money
 in the Bank
SAYS MONEY IS IN SIGHT

| Due to a petition filed in chancery by State Attorney Gen. Alex M. Gar Der, asking that the Guarantee Bank and Trust company, formerly the City Bank and Trust company, be adjudged bankrupt and receiver be appointed the doors of that bank were closed yes terday morning. Former City Attorney E. D. Smith was appointed receiver by Chancellor Benners.
 The petition was filed by Attorney General Garber on instructions from Governor Conner, L. P. Hosmer, a state bank examiner, having reported to the state treasurer that he had investi- gated and found evidences of insoI- vency.
 | The Guarantee Bank and Trust com l pany was a firm entirely independent of the Guarantee Trust and Banking | company, which has offices In the Brown Marx building The defunct bank had offices in the Woodward building.
 Followed GambiII Petition The appointment of a receiver at the hands of the state bank examiner fol lowed closely on petition filed last week by A. A. Gambill, which asked that receiver be appointed on the | grounds that he was due 25 shares ot stock in the Citizens bank, the assets of which. 1t is alleged were under the control of the Guarantee company | The Guarantee bank was formerly the City Bank and Trust company, which had absorbed the Alabama Trust and Savings company The assets of the Citizens bank had in turn been trans ferred to the Alabama company. The failure of the Guarantee Bank and Trust company hence affects in some degree number of the depositors and creditors of all the other three com panies.
 The bankrupt company's liabilities are stated by E. c. Dunn, the cashier. at $25o'ooo, of which amount s150,oOO IS due depositors. It is stated that the company is possessor of enough In paper to pay all depositors and stockholders if it can be collected.
 
 George M. Webb. president of the Guarantee Bank and Trust company announced last night that plans are being formulated to take the hank from the hands of the receiver and that he believes the plan will be suc- cessful.- He stated that responsible men had been in conference last night and every indication at this time Is that the bank will re-embark in bus mess.
 In discussing the failure he said. T was as much surprised at the ac- ton against the bank as any one. I knew nothing of the affair until I entered the office this morning. How ever, at this time I. do not care to discuss my view of the facts leadinr up to the failure. The bank was get ting along finely and I think would have been in prime condition in a few days. T am sure the bank will be taken from the hands of the receiver very soon. We will get plenty of money in a few days and everything will be cleared up. have placed about $6I, ,OO0 in the bank and the depostors are that much better off than when I as sumed charge The incidents leading up to this action are certainly of no fault of the officers of this bank"

FIRST EXHIBIT MADE OF
 O'DELL'S TRAINED BEES

The bees swarmed out, alighting on the clothes, hands and faces of a half dozen who were watching, but no panic ensued. True, when a bee started down MT. Babb's neck he became slightly excited, but did not resort to fighting the bees, while MT. O'Dell rescued his pet.
 The queen bee was somewhat larger than the other bees. and was followed by a number who feed her and care for her every want. Besides handling them at will, putting them in his mouth. and smearing them over his face, MT. O'Dell delivers an interesting lecture. explaining the habits of the bees and their manner Of propa agation.

for a claim of $4,000 damage in
consequence Of 3 horses, one
COW and one hog. The case
came before the last quarterly
court, resulting in hung jury.
And identically the same thing
occurred this time.
While there were quite a num-

very little other business of i'm

OUR PROUD GRADED
SCHOOL
Closes Successful Term Friday
Night, Advancing IS From
9Th TO High School

Marion Graded School Oh last
Friday night witnessed the clos
ing exercises of another success
full school term, when thirty-five
bright boys and girls were adj
vanced from the eighth grade to
the High School. While the
program was lengthy, it was in
teresting all the way through,
and the rapid advancement of so
many from her room reflected
much credit on their teacher,
miss Margaret Moore.
y A well merited compliment
was paid Pres. King, and
Halves and every teccner of the
school by +, J. B. Adams,
from the Methodist pulpit Sun
day morning when he said
Marion has the best schools of
any town in which | have ever
lived" suggested from his
beautiful text from the LIST
Chapter of Ruth; showing the eff
feet of Naomi's good Christian
training when she said, 'entreat
me not to leave thee or to return
from following after thee; fol-
whittier thou goest. | will go
and where thou lodgest, | will
lodge: thy people shall be my
people and thy God my God"
Bro. Adams further said that
with the base ball eliminated
from our school he could find no
possible room for complaint.
Prof. King has had his trials
as have all men holding such re-
sponsible positions and yet at
the close Of every school has,
from trustees and patrons re-
ceived the welcome plaudit.
We'll done" Prof. HAYES
his able assistant has returned
to his home at Union City Tenn,
with the assurance that every
man woman and child in Marion
are his friends, and that if he is
not with us again next term it
will be no fault Of ours.
In proof of the high esteem in
which every teacher is held is
that no word Of complaint has
ever been heard.
And while all this can be said
of the teachers surely it reflects
great credit on the long service
of the present board of trustees
and makes it little wonder they
are retained for so long a term,
for with such men as Jno. w.
Blue, w. B. Yandall, T. H.
Cochran, H. A. Haynes and A.
C. Moore as trustees, nothing,
but the best will satisfy them
and nothing but a successful
school term the result.
So attach ed to their teacher
are the pupils of every grade
that while they are being so
rapidly adanced, their young
hearts are made sad at the
thought of leaving their teach
ers. May God bless our school
and faculty and hold it to its
present high standard.
Others showing their love in
beautiful floral gifts were: w.

At 4:15 O'Clock Friday after.

ing its best and it meant the

Main street home surrounded by
his loyinG wife and little ones,

For several years he had been

far as can be judged, the most
popular man in Marion for il
Tom Clifton had an enemy here
we never heard of it, and an he
was one of the most polite and
courteous gentlemen it has ever
been our pleasure to meet.

His health began to fail him

could be done, developed into
brights disease, which resulted
in his death,
The funeral service were con-
Quoted at the home at 8 O'Clock
Sunday evening by Rev. j. B.
Adams, the interment taking
place Immediately after at the
new Marion cemetery.
Among the numerous costly
floral offerings were some Of the
most beautiful money could buy
and from some OF the most
noted people in the United
States; Congressman Ollie NJ.
James and the Hamilton-Brown
Shoe Company Of St. Louis, for
whom he so successfully labored,
A test of the esteem in which
he was held by the great Hamil-
ton-Brown Shoe Co., was the
fact that for seven months they
put one of their best men in his
territory at their expense and
still allowing his salary and on
notification of his death sent Mr..
w. E. Anderson one Of their most
valued represent atives and as
sociates statesmen of Mr.. Clifton,
to represent them at his funeral,
which with the beautiful flowers
they sent must indeed be the
best proof to his grief stricken
wife of the love they bore him.
No wonder a house so apprecia-
tive of good service and true
men is so noted and prosperous.
Buried beneath such a pro-
fusion of the most beautiful
flowers in the presence of so
many hundred friends who were
looking their love through their
tears, surely it is not hard to
die.

A WOMAN'S LOGIC

COLLECTOR LOEBS men of the port some
times meet with amusing incidents. On
of the recently arriving transatlantic
steamers was young woman whose extreme
economy had not permitted any lavish ex-
penditure abroad. But she had repea tedly re-
ferred with commendable pride to the material
for two silk dresses she had purchased at bar
gain, which she was bringing home for her
mother and sister. Even the suggestion of one
sympathetic listener that she would have to pay
duty produced merely a temporary restraint
Finally, when the liner approached New
York and the custom house officer received the
somewhat plain woman at the cabin table, her
fellow passengers were curious. Being asked
the usual questions about dutiable property
she replied stoutly and defiantly that she had
the material for two silk dresses
Are they for YOURSELF" the Inspector
wanted to know.
NO, they are not" she declared IL am
bringing them home for presents
Then, since they not for your own USE
l shall be compelled to charge you duty" and
he figured out for her the required amount
Taking the pencil from his hand she figured
for a moment and then said, Well, declare!
That has made those dresses cost me SO much
that simply can't afford to give them away
now: I'm just going to keep them for myself,
that's what III do!'
