WILL JONES SHOT
In THE LEFT LEG
OCCURRED LATE SATURDAY
AFTERNOON IN THE ANDREWS
NElGHBoRHooD.

Late Saturday afternoon, VIII
Jones, more or less celebrated OF late
on account Of his having been reput-
ed to have found large sum of mon
ey, was shot in the left leg near the
knee. The ball, which seems to have
been a steel jacketed one, entered
from the inside of the limb and lrac-
turd the bone in several places.
J DR.. Faucet was called to Andrews
where the shooting took place, and
removed Mr.. Jones to the hospital in
the -city. Upon examination he
found that the bone was pretty badly
splintered, but that the wound was
not fatal, though 1t will be some
weeks before he will be able to get
out
Mr.. Jones refused to talk or to have
anything to say in regard to the
shooting. He would not state wheth-
er it was due to an accident or
whether someone had shot him.

CENTURY CLUB TO
make EXTENSIVE
REPAIRS ON ROOMS
CALLED MEETING OF THE MEM.
BEERS NEXT FRIDAY EVENING
TO coNslDER PLANS.
MR.. GARDNER OFFERS SERVICES
New Heating System and Shower
Baths to Be Installed, Hardwood
Floors Laid, Ball Room to Be En-.
larged, Reading Room Chairs.

At the meeting Of the board Of d.
rectors Of the Century Club Friday
night with Mr.. Garner, an expert ar.
chitect of Nashville, 1t was decided to
make some very extensive alterations
and repairs upon the club rooms. A
special meeting Of all the members
of the club is called for next Friday
evening at 8 o'clock to consider these
plans and ratify or reject them. The
detailed specifications Of the propos.
ed repairs will be presented by Mr..
Gardner at that time.
Among the improvements that were
discussed last night we're the over.
hauling OF the whole back part of
the club, and the installation of show.
er baths, and new heating system,
the laying Of hardwood floors in the
pool and billiard room, and the en-.
largement Of the ball room upstairs
1t is also probable that some repairs
will be made in the reading room
upon the chairs, which have become
somewhat worn.
a remarkable feature Of these plans
is that Mr.. Gardner proffered his SER
vices free Of charge in drawing the
specifications.
A full attendance of the members
is desired at the meeting Friday
evening. as the improvements, which
have been discussed for some time,
will be decided upon at that date.

HATCHER WILKES IS
ASSISTANT CASHIER
Of MERCANTILE BANK
HON. j. L. HUTTON NAMES HIM
FOR IMPORTANT POST IN
MEMPHIS INSTITUTION.
SON OF Mr.. and MRS. R. A. WILKES
culleoka Boy Selected on Account Of
His Conspicuous Ability as Bank
er-Assisted Mr.. Hutton in Receiv-
ership OF Defunct Bank.

Hatcher Wilkes, formerly OF this
county, and a son OF Mr. and Mrs.
Richard A. Wilkes, Of Culleoka, will
be one Of the assistant cashiers OF
the new Mercantile National Bank OF
Memphis.
This was the announcement that
was made by Hon. ]. L. Hutton, who
was in the city for a short time Sat
urday afternoon. AS Is well known,
Mr.. Hutton will be president Of the
new bank. The capital stock will be
100000, with surplus Of about
100000. The stock was subscribed
by more than 100000, according to
Mr. Hutton. The bank which will
open its doors for business a week
from today, will start with deposits
of more than 100000. It will take
over the assets Of the old Mercantile
Bank, and will in addition take in the
Mississippi Valley Bank and Its de-
posits.
The promotion Of Mr.. Wilkes to
the responsible post Of assistant cash
Ter Of such large bank, is a signal
tribute to his banking ability. AS
soon as the old Mercantile Bank fail
ed some months ago, and Mr.. Hutton,
as state bank examiner. took charge
Of 1t, he at once secured the services
of Mr.. Wilkes as his assistant in
winding up its affairs. Amidst the
most trying circumstances, he prov
ed himself to be most capable off,
cial. When placed upon the stand in
court as an expert witness for the
receiver, he made such fine i'm.
preston and showed such Intimate
and exact knowledge of the banks
affairs that the case Of those, who
were opposing the plans Of Mr.. Hut
ton for the banks rehabilitation, fell
fiat and the court approved Mr.. Hut
tons plan Of settlement.
Mr.. Wilkes was born and reared at
Culleoka. He has been in the bank
ing business at Memphis for about
two and a half years as note teller
OF the Manhattan Bank & Trust Co.
With 1t he made a reputation as
one Of the fastest bank men Of the
city, and when the Mercantile failed
he was at once drafted into the ser.
vice Of the state by Mr.. Hutton over
the protest Of the Manhattan Bank
officials. He Is still very young
man, being only about twentv-ive
years of age. He has made a study
of banking. both in this country and
abroad, and but few men in the state
have wider knowledge Of the theo-
ry Of 1t than he.
The position of assistant cashier
carries with it handsome salary. II
is certainly a very handsome posi-
tion lot man OF his age. It Is GER
tainly very gratifying, not only to his
family, but to his friends in this
county that he has been chosen for
this very responsible post. It is but
an earnest Of the heights to which
he will rise in the financial circles OF
Memphis and the state.
