BANKING PROGRESS.

I
| II has been we'll said by some
philosopher, that the history of pros
Iperous banking Institutions is the
history of prosperous communities,
ana the more clearly this axiom is
Examined. the more patent becomes
Its soundness. Few towns in
Southwestern Kentucky supply more
abundant evidence of this fact than
the banks of Murray. No monetary
Institution has had a more prosper
ous. RAPID aud substantial growth
than the banks of Murray. These
banks enjoy the unique distinction
of having the largest repositories in
Galloway county. The above en-
viable position has been attained af-
ter years of honorable and judicious
stewardship and affords a striking
| illustration of the vigor and recti-
tude of officers and directors, many
Of whom have been actively identi-
, fed with the growth and material
development CT Murray and Gallo
way county. The above is conspi-
cuously true of Messrs. S. II. Dees.

and Galloway county. The officers
of the banks above mentioned are
gentlemen of unquestioned integrity
and sound financial training, who.
IN the direction of the banks bus

cardinal laws governing banking and

guidance. the banks of Murray will
undoubtedly continue to maintain

MURRAY FOUNDED IN 1922;
BENTON FOUNDED In 1912
Cities in Which Wealth aud Opportunity Abound and
Culture and Hospitality Reign Supreme.
;oME BRIEF rREArIsEs ON LEADING ENrERPRI

Murray, the county seat of Gallo
way county. was founded in 1922
and lie located, like a gem in beau
tiful setting. in the heart of one of
the most fertile and picturesque sec
lions OF the state, and people by a
hospltable, progressive and cultured
class OF representative Kentuckians.
Galloway county is world-famed
for its tobacco production and espe-
cislly of recent years has yielded
grain, vegetables and fruits in album
dance The former county seat, old
wadesboro, was once the most i'm
portant town In Western Kentucky.
In its land Office was recorded the
deeds of every tract of land in the
district. These historical records
we're destroyed in the burning of the
court house, few years ago and
Wadesboro Is now deserted village.
Murray has produced many noted
men among whom was Hon. Lynn
Boyd, speaker OF the house of repre-
sentatives for many terms and Col
Press Thompson, the noted Confed-
crate fighter, killed in the engage
n1ent at Paducah is buried here.
The tobacco growing industry of
Galloway county and the tobacco
manufacturing and shipping activi-
ties OF Murray form the basis on
which other classes OF enterprise
have been built up Fine pottery
clays are mined in the county and
constitute a growing industry. while
much attention is being devoted to
the raising of blooded stock.
The yearly production OF tobacco
averages 100000. The 1910 crop
looks favorable for big yield.
The finest gravel for road build
Ing Ia mined In Galloway county, and
besides being used for the roads OF
the county, is shipped in large quaint
tiles. the city of Nashville, Tenn,
being large consumer.
In November the county will vote
on issuing bonds for $4,000 court
house which will add tremendously
to Murray's attractiveness.
The Murray newspapers. which are
The Times. The Ledger and The Ca
zette, are wideawake disseminators
OF news and boosters of their home
city. The Gazette, a new paper edit
ed by Messrs. Perry and John Me
loan. which issued its premier edi-
ton last week. already has good
subscription list and is crisp,
newsy publication which should be
cordially supported.
The Commercial Club of Murray,
recently organized with j. ID. Row
lett as president. has begun a crusade
Of progress and improvement The
club has undertaken the project of
installing trolley line from the
city to Pine Bluff on Blood River.
The cost viii reach 500, 900, and
considerable stock has already been
subscribed.
The Fair Association was recently
organized with capital OF $4,000
sll Of which is held by home people.

The incident serves to emphasize
the fact that society is constantly
placing upon the press responsible
ties not exacted of other social agen-
cies It exacts moral standards Of the
newspaper often higher than the
clergy is UNFOLDING. One great
trouble is that the clergy and the peo-
pie as a rule do not make the proper
distinction between the functions of
the press and the pulpit. While both
should and generally do uphold high
levels OF life, the clergy is the advo-
cate of one cause, while the press is
the medium of expression for every
interest, the mirror through which
our daily life is reflected, a concrete
of democracy and whenever it mar
rows itself down to the basis OF an
advocate for one institution or one
sect, creed or set of individuals, it be-
comes a special organ, simultaneously
impairing its large influence and
power of usefulness to the entire COM
munity.
And yet with all these varied de-
mands upon it, the average news

which it finds it's readers-the aver

Labor Will Not Suffer.

Congressman Sulzer of New York
has a bill in the house providing for
a department of labor in the cabinet
and in it's support he argues the i'm
portance of labor as one of the vital
elements In our national life and
points out that all other countries of
prominence have special departments
to deal with labor.
1t is scarcely possible that congress
will be able at this late day to act on
this measure at the present session,
but until labor is given an exclusive
cabinet portfolio it's interests will be
carefully safeguarded, as they always
have been by this government, through
existing channels and the department
of commerce and labor is not going
out of business
1t Is not necessary to go across seas
and continents to find examples OF
national interest in the cause of labor
No nation accords to its wage earn
ers more careful consideration than
does the United States and in no coun.
try is the wage Garner as well off as
he is in the United States. His prog
ress in the last two decades here has
been one of the marvels of modern
industrialism. He has a shorter worl
day and longer pay envelope, better
opportunities and is a better and hap
pier man. Undoubtedly labor is en-
tirely willing to rest its case with tn,
federal government and If the impul
sive Tammany congressman can man
age to contain himself until congress
passes his bill, labor probably will b.
able to worry along for a while will
what provisions the government ha
made for its welfare.
