Ed. H. Amelung, an old Pilot Knob
boy, is steadily climbing upward, in
the insurance world. The following
is taken from a late issue of the New
Albany, (Indiana) Ledger: "This
afternoon Mr.. E. II. Amelung left for
Indianapolis to assume the position
of superintendent of the Third In
diana District of the Prudential Com
psny, to succeed Mr.. Theodore DEM
ing, who has ably filed the place and
has retired on a pension, going to
Seattle to settle down on a ranch.
Mr.. Deming, like Mr.. Amelung, was
practically raised in the business in
this city, and it is gratifying that
another New Albany man is to take
his places a matter which speaks well
for this city. Supt. Amelung began
here Is years ago and rapidly rose un-
til he became superintendent of this
district, which he brought to such
perfection, that it stood at the head
of the list. He wal superintendent
here for nine years and while attend
ing strictly to his business, he found
time and opportunity to make every
one he met his friend. On Saturday,
when the usual meeting of district
agents was held, Mr.. Amelung was
given n of the warmest farewells
and presented with a magnificent
travelling case. All the agents have
come in under his administration, His
many friends here, wish him all kinds
of success in his new position. Mrs.
Amelung and family will follow him
later"
From the Bismarck Correspondent
to the Pennington Times: "The Or
~ganization of the second bank here
was practically completed last We'd
nesday, when the new stockholders
met and paid in one-third of the stock
subscribed and effected the organi-
zation by electing Hugh Steele, DR..
@. @. Kerlagon, ]. O. Hunter, VIM.
Schnetz, A. L. Denton, E. W. Hughes,
and H. e. Evans, directors. These
directors met and selected Hugh
Steele for president; J. Q. Hunt, vice.
president, and VIM. Schnetz, secre-
tary. President Steele appointed
Messrs. Kerlagon and Hunt as com
mittee to visit st. Louis Tuesday and
purchase a safe and other necessary
fixtures. The board hopes to have
one-half the stock subscribed paid up
by July 1st, and the other half will not
be paid in for one year. Either Mr.
Roberts of Flat River, brother-in- law
to our fellow-townsman, E. E. Eaves,
or Harry E. Eaves, Of De Soto, will
likely be selected as cashier. The
building known as the so. w. LIZ
restaurant will house the new institu-
ton. The name selected is "The
Peoples Bank" The directors be-
lieve there is sufficient business here
for a good bank and state they found
no difficulty in finding subscribers tc
take the place of some that had back
ed out after having subscribed fol
stock. Adrian Steele of De Sott
will be the Attorney, and the Peoples
Bank of De Soto will be the cores
pondent of this new institution"
