COUNTY BANK
HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING

The annual meeting of the Church
i'll County Bank was held last Tues
day and no changes were made eth
err in the directorate or the clerical
force of the institution.
The bank business reflected the
prosperity that has attended every
line of business In the county the
past year. As an evidence of this to
the regular dividend of 81 per share
there was added an extra dividend
of 81 per share, a total of sS per
share to the fortunate stockholders,
This excellent showing will doubtless
be surpassed during the Forthcoming
year, which, unless all signs fail,
viii prove to be the most prosperous
in the history of Churchill county.
1t was decided at the meeting to
return to the former banking hours
that prevailed before the change
took place last summer. In future
the bank will remain open for bust
ness until p. m. on Fridays and un-
til p. m. on Saturdays.

SMALL BLAZE monday NIGHT
IN LOCAL TELEPHONE OFFICE

A small blaze occurred in the
Telephone office last Monday night
that for a few minutes threatened
TO be serious. Manager McFarlin
had been working on his books and
had upset bottle OF ink In clean
ing up the stains on his clothing and
tho desk he used a small piece of
waste saturated with gasoline. This
he threw in the waste basket, after
which he concluded to quit for the
night. He lighted a cigar and start
ed for the rear of the Office to wash
his hands and on returning was
startled to see flames in the Office
which he had just left. Hurriedly
rushing to the rear he secured a
small busket of water in which he
had just washed his hands and dash
cd it on tie flames and then thought
of q Pyrenc extinguisher hanging
in the Office near the switchboard.
With this the flames were subdued
and soon put out by another extin-
guisher in the Office.
The damage proved to be merely
nominal being confined to the win
dow curtain and charred desk.
enc Of the books which had been
damaged by the ink was lying open
on the desk and this was likewise
charred and saturated by the mix
ture from the extinguishcr. but is
still decipherable. Mr. McFarlin
cannot account for the a.e except
ON the hypothesis that e match
which he had thrown on tEs floor
had set fire to the waste basket made
more infiammable by the fumes OF
the gasoline soaked waste. but for
tie opportune discovery and the
quick and effective action of the ex-
tinguisher serious results might have
followed
