I tell yew what, SI Mr. Chappell aint goin' to be ignored hisself, ner he ain't a goin' to allow his frends to be. I beleve Mr. Lvans treted me nice because lie wanted to, though, an' not cawse he had to. I wore a rose bud home that lie give me, an' I told Jeems where I got it, but I didn't tell him about the compclments Mr. Evans paid me. An' he sot me up to awl the ieo erenie I cud etc?an' so did Mr. Chappell; an' he wanted to pay fur mi dinner, but Mr. Chappell beat him a gel I in' (hare.

An', besides, I seen a feller a set tin' (hare riIi 11 'cm down, so I ain't yoing lo set up a compertition again liim.

Soon ? as he seen me he closed his fist 011 it, an' (ride lo look inercenl as a lamb, but I let him no' I seen it; but come to find out, he wuz makin' if fur somebody else. I met Mr. A brains, a red-headed ' man, that sed if any body wuz to so much as hint lo his wife thai he wuz anything but handsome, she'd frail M 'em rile then an' I hare with grale plezure! T I ell yew that, tho, she's purty enufT fur 'em both. Sheriff Buford wuz down thare, but he didn't make 110 speech.

I \ 1 hate orful bad to miss the &fate campane in Newberry the 5th, an' I hope some body will throw u big bunch of roses at our future governor, Mr. Cole. L. Bloase, fur me. I wood do it fur my self if I wuz there. Yes, I shore hate to miss it, but I don't no when I wood ever git sich anuther chance to visit the old home a'n loved wons, so I'm a graspin' at the present opportunity. llopin' that ever body will have as nice a time .as I'm a expectin' to, durin' these two weeks vacation fur West End, I am, yores trewly, Becky Ann Jones. UNION BANE SUSPENDS. Institution of Which B. F. Arthur is Head Goes to Wall?Depositors Protected.

Just before the regular time for the ' bank to open the following notice | was posted on I lie closed doors: " . k i.>t i. 1908?Ba iv suspended. '' At a meeting of the board of di-' rectors of this bank last night it j was decided that owing to the con- : tinuous decline in our do- i posits and (lie general de-1 pression in the stock owned by this 1 bank that it was best to suspend further business pending arrangements for voluntarily liquidating its affairs for I ho protection of all parties concerned. Depositors are fully protected. The State bank examiner has been notified and requested to apply at once to a circuit judge for the appointment of liquidating officers according to law. B. F. Arthur, President. The People's Bank was organized in February, 1904, with a capital stock of $60,000, and up to the time of the Duncan failure was doing quite a good business. It was somewhat handicapped by that failure, however, as Mr. Duncan was vice president of the bank and had considerable interest in it. Last fall when the panic began in New York it naturally affected this institution as it did Annual I Charleston and Famous 5 ai | Friday, s a DICSTI NAT TONS ' ? ? 2 CO ?! n? ? O K.

It will be recalled that the timo ^ that Judge Pritchard took a hand in the winding up of the State dispensary affairs this bank had on deposit $10,000 of the State dispensary mon- ^ ey, and it is supposed that it is still in the bank's custody, as both the State and Federal courts forbade its removal, and no judicial order changing this has been received so fur as Ts generally known. What effect wi this will have in the winding up finally of the bank's affairs is not known. State Hank Examiner Giles Tj.
