Mr.. Johnson's Individual Interests

Cashier Farmers National, Makes
His Move Advantageous.

That j. Roy johnson, for the past
three years the popular cashier of
the First National Bank of Holly,
is to be transferred to Greensburg,
Kas., where he will hold the same
position in the Farmers National
Bank of Greensburg, is matter of
news which will be learned with
surprise and regret by his numer-
Gus friends in Holly and vicinity
Mr.. johnson will be succeeded as
cashier of the Holly First National
by Mr.. f. j. Thayer, of Hansford,
Texas, and later identified for a
number of years with the First Ma
tional bank of Liberal, Kas.
Mr. JOhnsOn"s removal from
Holly is purely matter of individ-
ual financial interests at Green's
burg, his former home and which
make his removal there personally
advantageous. His position as
cashier of the Farmers National at
that place in no way lessons or re-
moves his active identity with the
same financial interests which con-
troll the Holly bank, who also own
and control the Greensburg bank.
Mr. JOhnsOn's sunny disposition,
and perennial availability at all
times in public affairs, and for any
cause having for its purpose the
promotion Of Holly and vicinity,
have won for him a place in the
hearts Of the people of Holly and
vicinity which will make his de-
'parture mattera@f sincere regret
by many. All these of course VIII
wish him the best there is in his
old field in Kansas

iOr, canes from old banking stock
and long experience in the busi-
ness. He is man of pleasing adj
dress and looks to be man who
will very ably succeed Mr.. johnson

go over the situation and while
here purchased the G. A. Turney
residence in the southwest part of
