Mr.. PACE WILL LEAVE THE SOL
VENT BANK.

1t has just been learned here that
Mr.. H. H. Pace, who has been cashier
of the Solvent Bank of Memphis for
several years, will soon resign his
position to accept the secretaryship OF
the Standard Life Insurance Company,
of Atlanta, Ga
Mr.. Pace has been a prominent
figure in the bank services for many
years and his departure from the
well-known institution in that city
comes as a surprise to the printers,
but the offer made by the Standard
Life Insurance Company is most
fiattering one and could not be well
turned down.
In connection with this change ru-
NOR has gained circulation here that
the Solvent Bank has cast eyes toward
Nashville for a cashier. Il Is under
stood that a gentleman prominent n
banking services in this city has been
rendered the position, however, no
verifcation of the rumor can BE- made
The banks in Nashville seem to be
very we'll satisfied with their officials
and would not let them go without
making their offer that it is bclieVed
would be equivalent to any that cen
be made by the metropolis institutions.
The rumor, however, persists in go
ing around, and time only will settle
the question

and now Mr.. Mullins comes back and
says that Jonah is mistaken, or in

Mr.. Mullins was seen by a Globe
representative and his attention was
called to the fact that Rev. Jonah
had contradicted the charge lodged
against him, so Mr.. Mullins gave to
the Globe what is quoted to be true
