 You are all acquainted with this gentleman, if not personally, certain ly by the splendid record he has made as banker. His sterling integrity and his beautiful and happy manner in declining loans are proverbial in this community.
 1t is not so much of his virtues that ] desire to speak, as his ingen- ious sift of advertising. Some of his best efforts in this line have been on blotters and his chief regret is that he is unable to use this character of paper for deposit slips

Mir. Enslen said he had not prepared speech, but that he was glad to add his tribute to MT. Harding, as banker and a man. President Wilson. he said, had done a great thing for the south, great thing for the country when he selected l the Birmingham banker as a member of the reserve board. He felt sure that MT. Harding would in his new position more than fulfil all expectations.

The Ground Hog.

That abominable ground hog, APP
peared early last Monday morning
and at once retired to hibernate for
40 days. After weeks of genial mild
winter weather. and just as our gar
deners were preparing their ground
for potatoes, onions, peas and lei
tuce, he sends forth the warning that
for forty days we will have winter,
and this in spite of the fact that four
Dutch H's could not interfere with
our genial spring weather.
The ground hog has been making
his prophecies for centuries, long be-
fore the weather bureau was estab-
lished, and there are to-day hundreds
of people who ere sceptical about the
U. S. weather forecasts that pin their
faith to the forecasts made by his
hogships. We will see what we will

An Alarm of Fire

The alarm which aroused our citi.
zens last Wednesday was caused by
a fire at the home of Mr.. John Howe.
Mrs. Howe had left the house for a
short time and on her return found il
filled with smoke and blazing fire in
the kitchen A kitchen safe was
completely destroyed, chair and
some clothing was destroyed. The
ire had eaten its way through the
Iplastering and burned the laths.
The fire company reached the place.
but before the hose had been arranged
the bucket brigade had the fire under
control. The loss was covered by in
surance.
Our fire department is certainly in
bad condition, the members COM
planning that the company is not sup
piled with the. necessary hose to do
effective work. 1t is certainly neces.
sary to have the fire company well
equipped. After big fire, it will be
too late.

who died few days ago, found in
the house, carefully concealed $500 90
in silver and $500 90 in gold
The dates on the coins were from

There were number of gold dol

The money was divided between the
two heirs, Mr.. VIM. G. Wisman and
Mrs. Frank Hotel and deposited in

Mr.. Wisman had informed the fam
