Valuable Citizens Move Away

Mr.. and Mrs. A. 4. Whit have
moved 70 Winchester this week
where they will occupy their
beautiful home recently pur.
chased there. These progressive
people will be greatly missed
from our town where for the past
eighteen years they have lived
among US.
Mr.. Whit came here when in
his teens and took a position in
the Clay City National Bank, an.
der j. +. Cox, then cashier. Three
years later Mr.. Cox went to Lou.
isville and organized the Union
National Bank, and Mr.. Whit
was then made Cashier of the
Clay City National, and held that
position until last year when he
was elected President. The bank
under him grew and prospered as
no other bank in similar terri
tory.
As an illustration: There are
two banks in Powell county; al.
lowing each bank one-half the
territory for business, the last
bank report of the Clay City Ma
tional, showing 1913, 430 deposits,
we find there is more than s1E2
for each man, woman and child
deposited in this bank, when it is
learned that the average assessa.
bic property is less than $400 for
each person in this territory, the
figures become very interesting
in favor of the last bank report
of the Clay City National under
the actiye presidency of Mr.
Whit. BY referring TO an old
report of this bank when taken
hold of by Mr.. Whit we learn
that business has increased ten.
fold. 1t is most certain no other
bank in the country has done so
well, as we said before, "in sim.
liar territory" But Mr.. Whit
is qualified to manage larger af.
fairs, and so he has been called
to the Presidency of the Win.
chester Bank, where, according
to a statement in our issue last
week, the deposits amount to
more than one and one. half NIL. |
lion dollars. Just three times
the business of the bank he |
leaves.
During the five months past
since when Mr.. Whit has been
performing his duties at the Win.
chester Bank, he has gone back |
and forth in his automobile, car.
rying, free of all costs, passen.
gers of both high and low estate.
He has done this with pleasure.
He has ever been solicitous to his |
friends in his old home to call at |
his bank when In Winchester and |
make their headquarters with
him.
Our best wishes for Mr.. and |
Mrs. Whit go with them to their
new home and we heartily com.
mend them to the progressive
and good people of Winchester.

TWO AVIATORS DIE
FOLLOWING CRASH
IN MIMIC BATTLE
Mid-Air Accident Hurls Two
of Battle Fleet to Ground,
One in Flames.

HOUSTON. Tex, April 3. - A
mimic battle above the clouds. stag
ed by flyers from Ellington field, re-
suited in the death of two army avi-
ators Monday when two pursuit
planes colIided in mid -air, both fall
ling to the ground, one in flames.
The aviators killed were Maj.
John W. Simons, Jr., of Charleston,
S. c.. and Lieut.. G. H Fitzpatrick Of
Sacramento. Calf
At the time of the accident about
10 planes were in the air. The pur-
suit plane, piloted by Mai. Simons and
Lieut.. Fitzpatrick. were supposed to
be protecting a bombing plane, when
a fourth plane simulated an attack
on the bombing plane.
Aviators who witnessed the ma
nuvers were able to give a graphic
account. Rushing 10 the protection
of the attacked plane, Maj. Simons
made a sudden turn which threw
him against the wind. This checked
the speed of his plane causing it TO
get in the way of Lieut.. Fitzpat-
rick. who was attempting to pass
him from behind. The sudden
checking Of speed Of the first plane
caused the wing of the second TO
collide with the rudder of the first
plane.
The colIiding planes spiraled 10
the ground and landed within %
feet of each other. Both officers
were dead when rescuers arrived.
The plane piloted by Maj. Simons
caught fire and was destroyed. The
plane piloted by Lieut. Fitzpatrick
was shattered but did not burn.
