Harvest Concert Last Sunday.

Many people gathered at the church
Sunday from far and near to attend the
farewell services of Rev. A. f. Phelps.
1t brought sadness to the hearts of the
hearers, who have been in the habit of
attending church and listening to his fine
and helpful sermons since he has been
here as pastor. The church was well
filled, both morning and evening. The
exercises given in the evening by the
Sunday school at the harvest concert
were very interesting The recitatons
by the children and the singing by the
choir and childrens choir and the pas
tors excellent illustrated address were
very much enjoyed by all. At the close
of the exercises, as the children passed
down from the platform, one by one,
each was given a basket of fruit from
those arranged in front of the platform
in the form of pyramid. The Sunday
school and choir wish to express their
appreciation to Mrs. c. l. Holton of West
Mortified for her faithful services as
organist in attending all the choir re-
hearsals and Sunday services.

Main Point Made.

The chief point made In today S eN
animation of Mr. Morgan wJs that he ia
vored allowing interstate corporations to
deposit their funds In tho hands OF pri-
vate bankers without restricting them
for institutions under government super
vision. He said this was a matter to
he lcrt 10 the discretion OF the boards of
directors OF the corporations IN ques-
ton.
Mr.. Morgan confirmed data prepared
by members OF the Morgan house show
ing that sIxty-sl1 accounts with the Nor
gan firm in January last had deposits
o, sss.iI3.o0o and that seventy eight ac-
counts on November ! had deposits Of
sS1 s6S 600. The total capital. surplus
and funded debit OF these dcpositors, Mr..
Gntcrmyer stated was So I6J, o00, 900.
Mr. Morgan agreed TO this.
Prior TO Mr.. Morcan's examination the

the so-callcd concentration oC money
and credits. This was presented in the
