 dent.

At q meeting of the Board of Di- fectors Of the Bank of Eastern Arkan- saS' held on the first day of April. 1912, MT A. Becker was elected vice president to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Nathan ". Norton MT. E. R. Norton was elected director, and Hon. s. H. Mann was elected attorney for the institution.
 At this meeting the following reso- luton was presented by Mr. Mann, Who Is also member of the board, and was duly adopted:
 Resolution of Board of Directors
 of Bank of Eastern Arkansas.
 Nathan W. Norton died at his residence in the city of Forrest City. Afkahsas, on the 9th day of March. i9i2, at tde age of 60 years. The de. ceased came To Arkansas before reaching his majority and located at Nltlsburg in Cross county, Arkansas, and he continued to reside in said county untii the spring of 1885. While a resident of Cross county he Was elected to serve in the lower house i'll the General Assembly of IND ot the state. He became d resi- aetlt of Forrest City in the spring of lSSo where lie continued to reside until his death. He was admitted 10 tile bar some years prior to coming to Forrest City, and after locating in Sald city he at once took front place ln the practice of his profession, and became the retained attorney of this bank, and continued as such un- til lis death. He was also a diretor oi the bank and it's vice president for many years past. He was a man of wonderful force of character, firm and fearless in the discharge of his duties and knew neither friend nor Joe when questions of right and wrong were involved No question of eXpediency could induce him to depart from the strict line of right, justice and equity. He was well grounded in the principles of law and safe adviser He was considerate of the right of others and broad and liberal in his view on all public and private issues.
 
 Therefore, in consideration of our acknowledgment of such qualifications so rare and to be treasured, we, the Board of Directors of the Bank of Eastern Arkansas, do resolve,
 First: That in the death of Judge \. W, Norton we have sustained a great loss to our institution.
 Second: That the county and the profession to which he belonged ha5 sustained great loss by the death of citizen who was always true to her interests, and whose heart and con- science were ever alive to do his duty at any cost
 Third: That we tender to his be- reayed family our tenderest sympa- thieS and that they be furnished with a copy of this resolution.
 Tine foregoing resolution was un- animously adopted.
