NEW THOMPSON BANK
HAS 53 STOCKHOLDERS

Fifty-three men and women, many
OF whom are farmers living in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Thompson have
organized a bank there which will be
situated in a new building to be erect
ed lust west of the Considine and
Wales store and which is expected 10
be open to the public by July /. The
capital stock is $4,000 with $1,000
surplus. Plans for the bank have
been progressing for some time and
the original idea was to have the insti-
tuition located in the brick building
which was erected not long ago to
house the Considine and Wales gen
eral merchandise store ;but that bus
mess has been enlarged to such de-
gree that it requires all the space in
the building, and new structure will
be put up for the bank.
A charter has been applied for and
as soon as it comes the banks officers
will be elected and work begun on the
building. According to Joe Consid'ne,
who has been instrumental in its or
ganization, it will probably be ready
to receive customers within three
months.
Following is the list of stockholders,
the first seven having been elected
board of directors: Joe Considine,

Seventeen mares and pair of colts
were sold at the C. H. Robinson and
Company sale held in Middleton's
Barn Monday afternoon. The top
price for pair was $475, and the top
for single was $195. The total sales
amounted to $3,277.50, the average per
head being $17250.
Following is list of the buyers and
the purchases: Shock and Robinson,
of Centralia, two pairs for $475 and
$400; Judge Baker Barnes, pair for
$425; John T. Buckner, pair for
$3G5; Fletcher Sims, pair for
$277.50; Leo Rockenstein, pair of
colts for $14O; Bub Buckner, grey
mare for S195; C. F. Berrey, mare
for $185; C. L. Hildebrand, a mare
for $3.50; C. H, Davis, mare for
$175; L. B. Hawthorne, a mare for
$3.50; Harris Mundy, mare for $3.50;
and Earl Carter, a mare for $160,
which was rejected.
On account of the extremely bad
condition Of the roads in the county
and the change in date of the sale the
attendance was very small and the
prices brought by the mares not as
high as they were expected to be un-
der better conditions; but the bidding
went very we'll and the sale was con-
sidered success in spite of the dis
advantages. The mares were ship
ped here by Robinson and Company
BIythesville, Ark, firm, from Iowa
and because of the storm were de-
layed. The sale was postponed from
Saturday until Monday.
Fifteen range bulls from the Here
ford herd of M. B. Murry, of Here
ford, were sold this week to S. B.
Burknett, of Fort Worth, Texas, and
will be shipped in a few days. The
