Trust company of San Antonio, Texas.
In a San Antonio publication of re-
cent date much was said in praise of
MIR. Campbell 5 work as bank inspec-

on account of his resignation from
that position. He had been in charge
of the examinations in practically ev-
cry district in the state.
The article stated: 4" His progress in
the realm of bankdom has been very
interesting. In 1904 he organized the
Farmers and Merchants National

1907, when lie transferred his inter

Mart, becoming vice president Of the
institution. In the year 1909, when

+ first appointed as bank examiner, if
not the first, and was therefore the
oldest one of the force in point of ser

strict attention to business; in fact,
friends who know him socially find a
very different person when the wheels
of business grind from one when the
music starts Whether business OF

Thought They Were Married

William Borene, the general
manager of the Olson, Olin cloth
ing store in this city, spent last
week in Montevideo and other
Minnesota towns, and reports a
very pleasant time. He now
knows just how it seems to be
married and have ones suit case
plastered over with sentimental
signs and other indications that
the owner is newly wed. Is he
married? Oh, no! But at
Montevideo some of his old
friends played a practical joke on
him, because he introduced a
young lady as his wife as a
jolly" on them. He had to call
in the aid of a blacksmith to cut
the old shoes from his suit case,
so firmly were they fastened to
the handle.
The fun didn't end when Mr..
Borene and his fair companion
(who happened to be travelling in
the same direction) boarded the
train, as the Sisseton teachers
were returning to their duties,
and helped prolong the joke. Mr..
Borene hopes the rest got as
much fun out of the affair as he
did.

The old officials have all served

the people of Roberts county

their records yet to make in the
Offices to which they have been
elected, but the people have un-
doubtedly chosen wisely and
each office will continue to be
we'll cared for.
