MARION BANK IN
NEW BUILDING
Undoubtedly Have Most Beautiful
Banking Quarters in This
Part Of the State

Yesterday being a legal holiday
and therefore closing day for all

rion Bank took advantage of the op.

Wilson, President; W. C. Carnahan
Cashier; II. H. Loving, Assistant
Cashier; r. L. Moore, Sr., Chair
man Board of Directors; j. w. Blue,
Sr., Attorney. The first board of

Since that time the following men

stitution: as presidents; W. c. Car

and Katherine Yandell, Assistant
Cashiers; May Cook, Book Keeper.
That these men in past years have
as officers and directors brought the
bank safely through two severe PAN
les safely, is compliment on the
stock holders who chose them to lead
the bank through those troublesome
times in the nancial world.
That the present set Of accomodat-
ing and courteous officers are sue
ceeding so well in taking care Of the
banks affairs is only ioiiowingl in
the foot steps of those we'll known
men who went before them. Every
officer that has ever been connected
with this bank has been a man of
the highest standing in the communi-

WIN CLOSE GAME
FROM ROSICLARE

Yesterday our Marion Reds played
Rosiclare, H., on the home lot and
won ii to the tune of three to two.
Rosiclare staged little rally in
their half of the ninth inning and
things looked pretty dangerous for
about minute. Fireworks for cou-
pie of minutes and the visitors had
scored two and had the tying run
on third base with one out.
Here is where Conyer showed his
grit and coolness and in a tight place
merely struck out the next two
men and the game was over.
The outstanding features of the
game were Conyer's pitching and
Kimsey's home run over among the
tombstones. Lloyd also lined out
couple Of beauty hits, both splash
ing the water for two bases. He
added single to his string, max
ing three for the afternoon. Oliver
was again in a Marion uniform,
playing the Outfeld, accepting his
only chance very neatly and getting
one clean bingle.

MAY START KITTY
LEAGUE NEXT YEAR

HOPKINSvILLE, Ky.-The base
ball spirit is once more awakening
in the famous old Kitty circuit and a
movement is on foot to put the league
back on its feet for 1921.
In the past the Kitty has attract.
ed its full share of attention and
has put up good brand Of the
national pastime. 1t has also been
a fine field for developing new play
'ers, and several of those now in fast
company got their start in the Kitty.
The demand for baseball has found
expression in the patronage accorded
the fast independents which have been
playing all over this part of the state.
Cairo, Owensboro, Hopkinsville, Pa
ducah, all former members of the
Kitty circuit, have such teams this
year and games have drawn extra
ordinarily large crowds. There has
been keen rivalry especially between
Marion and Princeton and Morgan
field and Madisonville, and several
championship games have been sug-
gested to determine the best team in
the bunch.
If the old Kitty is revived next
season there will probably be Sun
day games played nearly all over
the circuit In the old league Sun
day games were permitted in only
about half Of the towns and all these
games had to be played in those
towns. Here in Hopkinsville Sunday
ball is not permitted in the town, but
games have been played just outside
and they have drawn tremendously.
Other towns have done likewise with
similar results and il the Kitty is
reorganized the Sunday games will
probably be featured generally.

LETTER FROM 7. NJ. DEAN

The Crittenden Press was one OF
the main factors in winning the
Road Bond election. Some fine let.
ters were printed in it by prominent
men in favor Of it. Since the elec.
ton the Editor has had several ar.
ticles on good roads and few "prods'
at the commissioners for their failure
to do something The people have
done a lot Of talking and trying to
find out why something was not
started, but only one little article
has been published from anyone re-
garding the entire subject, and that
was what had to say about the Bond
issue being loaned to the state for
a purpose somewhat different from
the purpose put before the people by
the Press and the best and most in.
nuential citizens Of our county, before
the election
The Editor took my letter as a
stab at the State Road, but | did not
intend II so. | am for the state
road knowing it does not touch my
house by six long miles. am will
ling that every cent Of my road tax
be given (or loaned) To building this
road But do not like the idea
Of my reputation for old fashioned
honesty helping to get votes for good
roads for the people in this end of
the county, and then for me TO vote
TO put them off for a time so long
Off that nobody has dared to guess
at il so far.
! had some hopes that after my
letter was published, some of the
other commissioners would write and
tell the people that they did all that
could be done under the new condi.
tions that had arisen since the vote
WAS taken. But they have not, per-
haps they believed the people they
represented would be willing for the
loan TO the state while ! knew very
well the people in the end Of the
county We're not.
! do not know myself who is right,
since | found it was impossible to
ge, the roads expected by the people,
] could not decide what should be
done To look at it one way it looks
like the whole thing was fraud
and that the people should be released
from further payment Of the road
tax, but would not this be TO say
good bye to rock roads in Crittenden
county for many years at least.

NEW FIRM ABOUT
READY TO OPEN

The NJ. H. Cannan Co., who are
to operate a mems and boys furnish.
ings store in the new building Just
back of the Marion Bank are now
unpacking their merchandise and get
ting things in shape for their formal
opening, date to be announced later.
A reporter for the Press dropped
in on Mr.. Cannan while he was
working like the proverbial beaver
yesterday morning, and he very
courteously took the time to show
him through some Of the stock he
had opened
And everything in the store is new,
right out Of the manufacturers and
jObbers' stocks. Mr.. Cannan saws
they have the only line of shoes in
Marion that is complete, inasmuch as
it is the only line that includes all
lasts, even combination lasts. He
says that If the folks who have been
going to the city to get fitted in a
shoe to actually fit them, not because
they wanted to, but because they had
to, will come in to their place of
business, and get fitted there they
sure will have to go to very large
city to get what what they want.
They really have very remarkable
line Of shoes for a town the size Of
Marion.
The same thing might be said of
their handkerchiefs, socks, caps, ties
and shirts. They have very COM
prehensive showing Of high class
merchandise, better than which is
rarely placed on display anywhere.
The class Of merchandise they have,
coupled with the nice new building
they are occupying and the popular
ity Of the men who compose the
firm assure them very liberal pa
tronage in this territory.
Mr.. Cannan asked that he be quoted
as saying, 1--WE are pot here to fight
anybody. We believe that there is
enough business in this territory for
all Of us, and owing to the fact that
the line we will carry will be COM
posed mostly Of high grade merchan-
disc that has heretofore not been OBJ
tainable In Marion, we do not figure
that we compete to any great extent
with any business here now. OF
course We are here to make a living,
and intend to get all the business we
can honorably, expecting to dispose
Of our goods on the highest possible
plane Of merchandising. and TO win
our way by giving our public all that
we possibly can for their money"
Mr.. W, ID. Cannan, senior member
Of the firm was for a number Of
years connected with the firm Of
Taylor and Canaan and is well known
in this part Of the state.
NJ. II. Cannan, Medley" rs most
Of his friends know him. has had
number of years experience in the
mems furnishing line. and before re-
turning to Marion was manager Of
the largest exclusive mems furnish
ing store in Bowling Green.
Charley Stuart will assist the Can
mans in taking care of their trade,
and has large number Of friends
who will be glad to see him grow
up" with the new firm.

that no extra votes Of any kind will
be allowed during the closing period
Of the campaign

II is indeed doubtful II any car could
