Flat River News: "The stockhold-
ers Of what is to be known as the
Commercial Bank of Flat River, met
at the Y. M. G.. A. building Thursday
morning and organized by electing
the following board of directors: G.
O. Vandover, 7. L. Haney, ]. H. Clay,
H. W. Buckley, W. Q. Norwine, John
Ball, ]. A. DeHovitz, John FL. Hunt
and J. F. Lockridge. All are local
men except Mr.. Vandover and Mr..
Lockridge, who are employed at State
Hospital No. 4, in Pennington. I'm
mediately after the meeting of the
stockholders the board met and or
ganized by electing the following
officers: G.. @. Vandover, president;
DR.. T. L. Hanley, vice president: Q.
r. Pratt, cashier. The bank will be
open for business just as soon as the
organization details can be perfected
and the fixtures purchased"
The stockholders in the new Tele-
phone Company met at Lesterville
last Saturday and organized by elect
ing DR.. Fitzpatrick as President,
Cashier Adams of the Bank of Lester
vile as Treasurer, and Comfy Treas
urer Baker as Secretary. Only part
of the stock has been sold but it now
looks as though the stock will all be
taken and the line soon built. The
line is to be first class-one that the
Bell Company will approve of. There
is to be no telephone on the line, only
three stations, one at Centerville, one
at Lesterville and one at Glover.
These stations will check through
either Bismarck or De Soto. OF
course local systems will have con-
nection through switch boards at the
three stations. This will be paying
investment, as the system will pay
back all the money spent in construc-
ton in period of two or three years.
If you have few dollers you do not
need, buy some of this Stockholm

Poplar Bluff Republican: "While
nothing definite had been known as
to what the future aims of the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad Company were
when in the early stages of the shop
mems strike that company made
Poplar Bluff the terminal for its pas
senger engines the hope had been ex-
pressed by the people of Poplar Bluff
that the change would be permanent,
but early this week the order went
down the line that both engines and
shop men were to go back to Hoxie-
and back they went. 1t is said that
about seventy men were sent from
Poplar Bluff Monday morning to work
in the shops and yards of the railroad
company at Hoxie. Some of these
were men recently employed by the
company here while others were sup
posed to be new arrivals. The Mis-
souri, Pacific also this week restored
passenger trains 80 and 33 to the pre-
strike schedule, which is very pleas
ing to Poplar Bluff as well, particular.
