R. {. Hays Lands Good Job

Hon. r. E. Hays, of this place,
who recently took the civil ser.
vice examination for employees
in the Internal Revenue service,
received word Friday that he had
been appointed a deputy collector
to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of |. F. Stewart, the
field deputy for this district. The
present appointment is only for
a term of thirty days, but if Mr..
Hays succeeds in getting on the
eligible list, and he undoubtedly
will, the appointment will no
doubt be made permanent.
Mr.. Hays left Saturday morn
ing for Parkersburg, to familiar
lie himself with the duties of his
appointment. His work will con-
sist of travelling over this district
and seeing to it that none of the
revenue laws are being violated.
Erom a party standpoint the
preferment of Mr.. Hays is mer-
tied, as he is one of the county's
most energetic and active Demo-
Gratis. He is well equipped to
perform the duties of the office
and we feel sure he will material
ly assist in in heaping glory upon
the Wilson administration.

the Courthouse Monday for the
purpose of paying forty percent
OF the capitol stock and effecting

The meeting was called to or
der by E. l.. Hays, acting as
chairman, and forty per cent on
the capitol stock of $35, 900 was
paid in. The meeting then pro-
ceeded to the election of board
of directors to govern the affair
of the new venture. The by
laws provided for the election of
nineteen directors and the fol-
lowing were chosen: d. w.
Knight, w. M. Cooper, G. w.

Chenoweth, Joseph Knots, G. S.
Smith, f. S. Wilson, R. J.

their ability to guide the foot
steps of the institution Alright.

B. G. Stump were named as a
committe to secure a location for
the bank. We arc informed that
the building now used by the M.

taking Co. is considered the one
most likely to be obtained, al
though the matter has not yet
been fully decided.
An exchange committee COM
posed of G. S. Smith, B. G.

elected the following officers:
President. G.. S. Smith; Vice

B. G. Stump; Assistant Cashier,
r. P. Mollohan. All these gen
tlemen are we'll known to the
general public. Thew have made
good in their own business con-
nections and there is no reason
why they should not be success
full in their new capacities.
1t is thought that the bank
will be open for business not be-
fore the 18th of October, as it
take some time to have the nee
essary books and supplies made
and the furniture and fixtures
installed.
