TWO FORMER MORGAN COUNTY
MEN In PROMINENT PLACES

The Democrat office received a
booklet gotten out by the Peoples
Banking company of Oberlin, and
concentrating the goth anniversary
of the Peoples Bank of that city.
1t is specially interesting from the
fact that two former Morgan coun-
ty men-Mr. j. T. Henderson and
Mr.. ]. D. Yocom, are prominently
identified with the bank-the for
fer as president of the bank and
one of the stockholders and direc-
tors from the beginning. The lat
ter is also one of the directors, and
has been secretary Of the institution
for number of years.
One of the interesting paragraphs
In the we'll gotten up and handsome
ly Illustrated booklet giving a rec
ord of the banks affairs, reads:
1.-The bank has never in the ~
wears of it's existence suffered the
loss of loan--a record almost
without parallel Another inter
esting statement is: THE bank has
never foreclosed a mortgage"
Mr.. Henderson referred to as
president OF the bank and otherwise
connected, is a member OF the n
nance committee of the board OF dl-
rectors. In addition to his banking
activities he is president of the
Oberlin Business College, and has
been identified with the business life
of Oberlin the last 40 years. He
was born and reared near McCon-
nelsville, and has many friends and
acauaintances back in his old home
county, as has also Mr.. ]. D. Yocom
who was born and reared at Penns-
ville..
Mr.. Yocom is also member OF
the finance committee, and like Mr..
Henderson is in addition to his
banking activities, connected with
the Oberlin Business college, being
vice president of the institution, and
also a teacher in the college. He is
a member of the Yocom Bros. Dry
Goods company of Oberlin, and has
held the office of mayor of the city
three terms.

Frank Giililand Loses Leg

According to word received by
relatives, Mr. Frank Gilliland of
Kirksville, Mo-, recently underwent
the amputation of his right leg just
below the knee, at hospital there.
April 25 Mr.. Gilliland, who had been
apparently in about his usual
health, was taken with what he at
first thought was a cramp in his leg.
1t became worse rapidly and a ply
sician was called, who stated that
gangrene had set in; little later in
consultation with another physician
1t was decided that an amputation
was necessary. Mr.. Gilliland was
removed to hospital and the oper-
alton took place April 30. He stood
the ordeal fine, and prospects are
good it is said for his recovery. It
is stated that a blood clot under the
knee, stopping the circulation, was
the cause Of the trouble leading to
the development of gangrene, and
the loss of the leg.
Mr.. Gilliland is brother OF Mrs.
Nancy Arrick of McConnelsville
and of Mrs. Emma Fulton of Cum
berland, O.

Too Much Noise Near sanatorium

Too Much Noise Near Sanatorium
The management of Rocky Glen
sanatorium is calling attention to
the fact that of late there has been
considerable annoyance and dis
turbance to patients and others at
the institution. at night, by noise of
young persons in the road near the
sanatorium. 1t is hoped that this
annoyance will cease at once, and
the management is taking this mild
way of calling attention to the trou-
BILE, and asking that it be stopped.
In this connection, attention is
called to the fact that in the taking
in of passengers in autos, or dis
charging of them from machines, it
must be done at the main entrance
to the sanatorium grounds, only.
1t is imperative that this rule be fol-
lowed.
