Has Been Served.

| That the banks of Columbia have
enjoyed "a degree. OF prosperity tina
is not only pleasing to the sharehold
ers, but conclusive proof of the ,splen
did financial condition of the county
is shown in the semi-annual profits
distributed. The banks paid their, us
ual dividends and at the same time
added handsome sums to their surplus
accounts. Jsa4
The Maury National Bank, Oldest OF
the local institutions, kept up its long
time custom of paying semi-annual
dividend of six per cent and carried
a large sum to the surplus account
bringing the latter up within hailne
distance of the capital stock. The
Maury County Trust Company also
declared semi-annual dividend, that
of the latter corporation being five
per cent.
The Phoenix National Bank declar.
ed usual eight per cent senii-annual
dividend. A like dividend was paid
to the shareholders of the Phoenix
Savings Bank & Trust Company. Both
of these institutions have surplusac.
counts that equal their capital stock
accounts, nevertheless substantial
sums were, carried to the undivided
profits accounts.
The junior among Columbia bank
ing institutions in point of years, the
Columbia Bank e Trust Company,
paid to its shareholders semi-annual
dividend Of FIVE. per cent and added a
sum sufficient to the surplus account
to bring it up to s25,ooo, which is now
one-half the amount of the capital
stock. tr. a3,.
During the year the deposits and re-
sources of all of the local banks show
dlarge increases. During that time
they all gave the nation proof Of devo-

other wheat samples show that gener-

bandits has been flashed far and

made to bring them to justice.
The county court has offered a
reward of $500 (the amount per-
mitted by law, each of the four
banks in Lexington 500, the
City Of Lexington $500, and cit
liens all over the county are
subscribing literally. 1t is be-
lieved that the the amount to
be posted will exceed $4,000.
City Marshall Seitz accompan-
led by Louis Minor, went to In
dependence Monday night after
the abandoned car. In their
search they found in an out
house of a country church near
Blue Springs two suit cases
containing clothing smeared
with blood, and other numerous
articles of wearing apparel indi-
eating that they were young
men. 1t was here they must have
changed their clothing before
going into independence where
they stole another car, and
which later was found abandon
ed on Grand Avenue.
The crime is without parallel
in this community and has
brought grief to every home in
the county, with or without a
personal acquaintance with the
dead. They were guardians Of
the public peace and security.
They were representatives Of
the electorate Of the county, and
their tragical death brings a
sense Of personal loss to every
one.
