is HIGHLY HONORED
BY STATE BANKERS

Randolph county folks have been
pulling down some high hOnors the last
few days. The greatest tribute paid
to any Randolph county man for a
long time past, was paid to Mr.. j. ID.

Bank. when he was elected vice-presi-
dent OF the Arkansas Bankers Associa-
tion at the bankers convention last
week.
Mr.. Wells has been serving as chair
man of Group 2 of the Association
since being elected to, that position at
the last Group meeting at Newport.
This new honor is next to the highest
the Association can confer and it places
Mr.. Wells directly in line for the high
est honor, the presidency.
w. ii. Johnson, vice-president of the
Merchants National Bank of FIT. Smith,
was elected president of the Associa-
tion and Walter S. Petit, cashier of
the Citizens National Bank of Harri-
son, was elected treasurer. Mr.. f.
Dalton, president of the Randolph
County Bank, had held the office of
treasurer of the Association for the
past year.
Robert f. Wait, secretary of the AS
sociation for the past fifteen years, is
to continue in that Office.
A feature of the closing session OF
the convention was the adoption of a
resolution approving the proposed con
stitutional amendment to exempt tex
tile mills in this state from taxation
for seven years.
