POSTAL BANK TO
BE- OPENED HERE

Although Postmaster O. J. Owen
has not yet been officially informed of
the fact, Washington dispatch to a
st. Louis paper states that Postmast-
er General Frank H. Hitchcock has is
sued an order for the establishment
of postal savings bank at Conway.
Ark, this city being included in a list
ot AZ postoflices at which the new
banks are to be located. The dispatch
states the banks will be opened for
business on June r.
Postmaster Owen stated today that
ne had made application for the estab-
lshment of savings bank in connec-
ton with the local postoffice several
months ago, but had not yet been ad-
vised of its establishment. He thinks.
however, that the report is correct
and the new institution will be opened
here.
Speaking for the Bank of Conway.
Cashier l.. H. Pyle stated that the
postal savings bank would no. inter
fere with the local banks, and it's es-
Establishment here would be welcomed.
The government pays two per cent in
tereSt on savings accounts and in
turn places its deposits in local banks
meeting their conditions, at a slightly
higher rate of interest. Mr.. Pyle be-
lieves the new institution will bring
much money into circulation that is
not now in any bank.

1850 REUNION
TICKETS SOLD

According to Station Agent ]. w.
James the total sales of reunion tick
cts from the Conway station up to
noon today amounted to 1850 Of
Ibis number $50 We're sold this morn
ing. The number would have been in
creased by several hundred if the spe-
cial train from Conway to Little Rock
this morning had not been delayed
and left Conway two hours later than
advertised. The special, which was
started from Fort Smith last night,
was laid out three hours by an acct
dent to train No 106 last night and
did not reach Conway until about 9
o'clock. Many who had already pur-
chased tickets returned them and got
their money back when they found the
rain would probably reach Little
Rock too late for the parade, and
probably 200 others who had intended
20 go changed their minds on account
of the delayed train.
All of the schools have dismissed
for today and Conway is practically
deserted few of the business houses
