Green Forest the night that Peter
Rabbit had gone over there he just
happened to start straight for the

Peter was there. and he wasn't

L. B. KROOK SUCCEEDS HAGE,

At meeting of the board of directors
of the Brown County bank last Thursday
afternoon, Emil G. Hage declined re-
election as cashier of that financial in
stitution and Lewis B. Krook was chosen
as the active head of the bank for the
ensuing year. Mr.. Hage has been in ill
health for the past several months and
some time ago had decided to ask to be
relieved from his arduous duties, in
order to regain his health. In the
selection of Mr.. Krook as cashier the
bank officials have made wise choice,
as Mr.. Krook enjoys not only a wide
acquaintanceship among the business
and professional men of this community,
but also of the surrounding country and
neighboring cities. For the past several
years he has held position of trust at
the Eagle Roller Mill company's offices
and some years ago served several terms
as auditor of Brown county. He will
enter upon his new duties at the bank on
February LIST.
The following is a complete list of the
officials elected by the board of directors
last Thursday: DR.. L. A. Fritsche,
president; Alb. Steinhauser, first vice
president; Emil G. Hage, second vice
president; L. B. .Krook, cashier; T. J.
Snilsberg, assistant cashier; Miss c..
Epper, teller; w. J. Strate, bookkeeper.
