HIS FIRST VACATION
PROVES DELIGHTFUL
r. E. Turley and Wife Back From
Couple of Months in Pana-
ma and Other Resorts

! N L. vi II y, " tllC oIdlC Ddllh
and Trust Company, and Mrs
Turley, have returned from a cou-
pie of months spent with their
son, Major X. Z. Tufley, Ir.. and
wife on the isthmus Of Panama
Mr.. Turley was back at his desk
at the bank Thursday, but didn't
have much time for business, as
he was kept busy most of the day
receiving greetings from his host
of friends. Not that he needed I
have looked after business affairs
for during his absence a very ca
pable and efficient young hnan-
cier was developed by the
heads Of the State Bank & Trust
Co., in the person Of his pop
ular son, Spears Turley,-who,
with the assistance OF President
H. B. Hanger and G. B. Turley,
kept the wheels a-running at this
popular financial institution
mighty well while the big chief
was absent.
OF course Mr.. and Mrs. Turley
he 4 a delightful time. Mr.. Turley
says he didn't get seasick on the
ocean voyage either going or
coming, but enjoyed 1t thorough
ly. OF the Canal Zone, he can
not speak too highly, but outside
Of Panama he doesn't think muck
Of the Central American country.
While at Panama, Mr.. and Mrs.
Turley were iavishly entertained
by u. S. Minister William J. Price
President Porras, Of Panama, all
other high officials. Mr.. Turtle,
says that Minister Price is yer
popular and has made good ]
every way. Mr.. Price is Dan
vile man, and has frequentl,
been mentioned for Congress il
this district. He expects to be re
lieved very shortly, Mr.. Turley
says, as President Harding nat
urally will name a republican foI
the place, which pays $4,000 pei
year. 1t is said that DR.. John G
South. of Frankfort, will be ap
pointed. DR.. South has Away
been a democrat, but his wife,
daughter of the late Senator w
Q. Bradley, is one of the !ea1ing
republican women Of the state.
His friends here couldn't decid
whether Mr. Turley had sta~te'
or stopped the little fracas b
tween Panama and Costa Rica
which broke out a few weeks az.
over some boundary dispute. NJ
Turlcy modestly admits that
was staged for his benefit. H
said that he had often read Of tn
little opera bouffe Central Amer
ican republics and their stage re1
olutions, but he-never had the op
portunity to examine one at frs
hand before, so he thinks this on
must have been opportunely pit
on for his especial benefit. Any
way, it didn't amount to mucl
and was soon over. Back here
everyone supposed that the bel
ligerents had been soothed ar
patted down by the we'll know
suavity of the Richmond fnan
cier. 1t has been proven elfica
cious here, time and again, uroi
occasions when depositors be
came recalcitrant in the matte
of overdrafts and other such an
noying banking triAes-so why
not down there?
Major Turley, who entertained
his parents, holds an important
post with the army detachments
which are kept at Panama for
protection OF the canal. He likes
the work there, his father says.
and seems to be making good, he
modestly admits. He and his at
tractive wife are very popular
in isthmus society and the visit
of his parents was made a nota-
bic and hospitable affair in eV-
cry way.
Mr.. TurIey says that outside
capital is what gives most of the
impetus to commercial life in that
part of the world. The United
Fruit Company IS the big corpor-
alton and does the big BUSINESS
1t owns immense banana, pine
apple, and other fruit plantations,
and operates lines of steamers
from important American points
to bring up here the immense
amount Of tropical fruit that il
produces.
En- route home, Mr.. and Mrs.
Turley stopped over at, Havana,
Palm Beach, and other resorts in
the south, completing a real va
cation-the first that he had en-
joyed in Is years.
