E. G. Davis, president of est. Tam
many's Big Bank" who usually looks
more or less cheerful, appeared to be
somewhat disgruntled about the first
of the year. His friends, noticing
this rather unusual condition of mind
Cor facet, made inquiry as to the
cause. He would not admit it, but
they arrived at the conclusion that
the trouble was caused by a disap-
pointment, and the disappointment
came from the fact that the total
resources of his bank, which are
enormous for country bank, had
failed to reach the huge sum Of
Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars at
the close of the year. Mr.. Davis said
that II the depositors had brought
in six hundred dollars more on the
last day of the year and the directors
had not ordered him to use two
thousand dollars of the profits to re-
duce the bank building account"
the resources would have passed the
eight hundred thousand mark. it
was only three years ago when Mr..
Davis was the happiest man in Cow
ington because his bank had reached
the half million dollar mark. Some
people are never satisfied.

SPEAKING DATE CANCELLED

Hon. j. R. Mount, of Lancaster,
who was advertised to speak here
Monday, court day, called off the
engagement, because the circuit
court room was not in. condition to
use. He said the county court room
is too small and that he could not af-
ford to engage the opera house. Both
of the other candidates for State
Senator, Messrs. Jay Harlan and
Clay Kaufman, were on hand ready
to reply, and seemed disappointed
that they could not have the pleas
ure of hearing Mr. Mount and reply
ing to him. Mr.. Mount asks the In
terror Journal to announce that he
will speak at Hustonville at 2 o'clock
next Saturday afternoon and at Nc
Kinney that night. 1t is hoped that
the people of the West End will give
him a good audience at each place.
His opponents will likely be on hand
at both places and have something
to say. Mr. Mount will speak at Dan
vile at o'clock Monday next, coun-
ty court day, and at Crab Orchard
at 2 o'clock and Preachersville at
at 7 80 P. NJ. on Saturday week,
June 23rd.

REPUBLICANS NAMED TICKET

The republicans got busy yester-
day and named ticket to be voted
for in the republican primary of
August 4th. Instead of having a
scramble for the nomination, the
leaders got together and named the
men who will be the standard bear
ers of their party in the coming Nov
ember election. Of course others may
run for the offices which the follow
ing gentlemen will try and get, but 1t
will be useless as the word has been
sent down the line that they are the
favored ones: For county judge,
Squire J. A. Singleton, of Waynes-
burg district; for sheriff, Ed Hub
bard, of Stanford; for county attor--
ney, Judge John A. Chappell, of
Stanford; for jailer, T. j. Burleson,
of Highland; for State Senator, John
A. Blain, of Hustonville; for. magis-
trate in the Wayesburg district, Mr..
Morrel. The republicans are said to
have gone at the joke in a business
like way and there is no doubt that
they have some hope of getting an
office or two, which of course they
will never do.

RED LETTER DAY FOR w. c. T. U.

Friday was red letter day in the
history of the w. c. T. U. organiza-
ton in this section. The district con-
vention of that society met here Fri
day when many delegates and work
ers for the temperance cause were
present. Mrs. Frances Beauchamp,
State president, was here and gave
several timely talks. One very de-
lightful feature of the occasion was
the lecture by DR.. Carolyn Geisel, of
Battle Creek, Mich. Her talk was
brimful of good food for thought
and it is hoped that her message will
prove of great help to those who
heard it. Sixteen new members were
added to the w. C. 7. u. and much
new life was brought into the cause
for which the good women are MAX
ing such a gallant fight. The election
of officers resulted as follows: Pres
ident. Mrs. ]. X. Baughman; vice.
president, Miss Mancie Ware; secre-
tary, Mrs. r. A. Lips; treasurer,
Mrs. j. S. Baughman.

ENTHUSIASTIC BOND MEETING

Another rousing meeting for the
disposal of Liberty Loan Bonds was
held at the courthouse Monday
morning. Mr.. J. S. Hooker, as chair
man called the meeting to order and
asked Rev F. M. finder, of Lancas-
ter to lead in prayer, which he did:
Chairman Hooker went into detail
concerning the value of the bonds
and the necessity of their sale in or
der that the expenses of the war
might be met without burdensome
taxation. Cashier H. G. Skies, of the
Crab Orchard Banking Co., also
spoke, as did Mr.. George B. Lyme,
of his city. The latter told in an in
teresting way what the Young Mems
Christian Association. of Kentucky is
doing for the support of the Ameri-
can boys who will soon be fighting
in the trenches of France. He stated
that the association would take $751;
900 worth of the bonds, and that
probably it would go as high as
100000. Hon. w. H. Shanks follow
ed Mr. Lyme and made an interesting
talk. He was followed by Attorney
Kindrick S. Alcorn, who showed that
it was not only patriotic duty to
buy a bond, but that it was case of
making a good investment and at the
same time futhering a great cause.
Like many of us, Mr.. Alcorn thinks
that the present war is bigger pro-
position than the public generally
thinks. Cashier Ben Hudson, of the
Citizens Bank of Lancaster, was pres
ent and complied with Chairman
Rockers request for few words. He
said that Garrard county is making
noble effort to float 100000
worth of the bonds and that he is
confident the citizens will do so. MIR.
Hudson has two sons who have en-
listed for service and he is intensely
interested in the outcome of the
present conflict. A call for subscrip-
ton was made, when many of our
citizens took one or more OF the
bonds. The bonds are secured through
the banks and the following shows
the amount taken by the banks of
Lincoln county for themselves and
their customers: First National Bank
of tSanford, $40, $50; Lincoln County
National Bank of Stanford, $4,000;
Hustonville National Bank. S11 900;
Peoples Bank of Hustonville, $500;
Moreland Deposit Bank, $4,000;
Crab Orchard Banking Co. $4,000;
Mckinney Deposit Bank, $4,000;
making in all 1850, or a little
less than $4,000 yet to raise: The
bankers will meet at the court house
at 10 o'clock Thursday morning to
dispose of the balance and more if
possible. The time for securing the
bonds closes at noon Friday next.

DRILLING ON COPPER CREEK

The work of drilling for oil or
Copper Creek, four or five miles
East of Crab Orchard, will begin in
a few days and it is confidently be-
lieved that oil in paving quantities
will be encountered. Some years ago
a drilling outfit was placed in that
section and some oil was discovered
at less than 60 feet. A number of
Crab Orchard men are interested in
the well now being drilled and if the
greasy fluid is found in paying guam
titles it will prove big thing for
this county.
