partments of an Independent gov

Just a quiet. peaceful establishing of
an independent government. No
war. no bloodshed. no violent defiance

tion of independence of the Irish race
The National Assembly is sitting with
in a stones throw of the residence of
the British Governor General. who
offers no word of protest. There is
no excitement in England over the
independent action of the Irish peo-
pie. England sits as unperturbed as
the parent who sees the son upon his
twenty-first birthday leaving the
parental roof to attend to his own
fortune. Nothing just like it has
happened in history before. 1t will
be remembered that sometime ago
England passed law conscripting
Irish soldiers and that when Ireland
declined to be conscripted nothing
was done about it, There was no
armed resistance; just refusal to
recognize the CONSUMPTION law.
Whether or not England will give up
the Emerald Isle without forceable
effort TO prevent the separation re-
mains to be seen, but so far there
is no evidence of intention to stop
the movement. The Irish are. peo-
pie radically distinct from the British.
and their bondage to the British
crown has been one of the greatest
crimes in history. Self determine
tion OF peoples is the doctrin of the
hour. and whether it is to be an
Irish Republic. or a larger measure
of Home Rule for Ireland. there is no
longer doubt that the vassalage of
Ireland TO England is forever ended

THE EPIDEMIC SPREADS.

The influenza epidemic Is still
spreading in most parts OF the coun-
ty. Beaver Dam was struck hardest
by the recent temperance of the
disease, but DR.. Mckinney reports an
improvement in conditions there.
Hartford, that so long escaped the
disease, is now in its grasp. Perhaps
one fourth of the families in town
have flu cases. That part of the
county lying west and northwest of
Hartford, that had so few cases in
the former appearance of the disease
is now coming in for it's share; in
act, no part of the county seems clear
of it. Fortunately the disease is less
virulent than formerly. and few
deaths are resulting.

OHIO COUNTY BANKS
BRIEFLY BIOGRAPHED

I Organized banking in Ohio county
dates from November /, 1882. Pre-
vious to that time S. X. Cox and
/ Henry ID. McHenry had done pigeon
hole banking business through Mr..
Cox, who was at the time clerk of the
Ohio county court. Later the Bank
OF Hartford was organized and open
ed for business on the date mention
ed. S. X. Cox, Charlie PendletOn,
! H. ID. McHenry and John Thomas
were the original partners, as at that
time the state took no supervision
over the banking business. The orig
inal capital stock was $4,000. S. X.
Cox was elected cashier and II. ID
McHenry, President. Afterward the
state enacted banking laws that
required $4,000 as the mini
mum capital stock and the
bank was incorporated with the
required capital Mr. Cox was
cashier of the bank until 1895, when
he was succeeded by Mr.. J. C. Riley
who left the institution in 1901 to
found the First National, which is
now the Citizens bank. After the
retirement of Mr.. Riley Mr.. John T
Moore became cashier, which position
he held until 1914, when he was sue
ceeded by Mr.. owen Hunter, the
present cashier. Mr.. J. w. Ford is
president of the institution and Row
an Holbrook Vice-President. The
bank now has a capital stock of $40
900, $4,000 surplus and $4,000 un-
divided profits. and its volume of
business is nearly half million dol
lars.
The Citizens Bank.
The first National Bank was or
ganized May, 6, 1901. 1t was the
first and only National Bank organic
ed in the county. The founders of
this bank were, John c. Riley, 7. l..

After the passage of the Federal
Reserve Banking law, the First Ma

and surrendered it's federal charter.
In the eighteen years of this banks
successful history number of
changes have occurred in the per-
sonnet OF its stockholders and its
board of directors. but there has been
little change in the actual manage

entire time supervised the immediate
relation of the bank with the public.
The present officers of the Citizens
Bank are: J. C. Riley. President; AL
