All the proper urrungemeots hav ing been made and a muj >r part of the CHDifal stock of $50,000 paid in, the National Bank of Yorkvllle open, ed its doors Wednesday morning and began its career in the busines- world, with Mr. O. E Wilkins as pres ident, and Mr. R. C. Allein cashier, both formerly of this city. The Yorkville Enquirer says of the new institution: “A few months ago, Mr. 0. E. Wil- Kius, a successful business man of (xaffoey, proposed to the people of Yorkville that if they would subscribe $20,000, he would raise the remaining $30,000 and establish a national bank in Yorkville. Thoroughly acquainted as they were with the splendid repu tation of Mr. Wilkins us a business man of sterling character and ability, and no less acquainted with bis repu tation as a clean, high-toned gentle man, the Yorkville people lost no time in jumping at his offer. The Yorkville end of the requiremtut was complied with with an ease almost unprecedented in the business his tory ofthe town, and the proposed organittion was pushed forward without somucb as a moment of un necessary delay. “The names of the directors were published at the time of their elec tion, but a repetition uf the list win not be out of place. They are as fol lows: W. I. Witherspoon, James M. Stroup, W. R. Carroll, W. B. Moore, A. N. Wood, F. G. Stacy, R. 0. Al lein and 0. E. Wilkins. They were all, elected unanimously, and at their first meeting they unanimously elect ed Mr. 0. E. Wilkins as president, Mr. W. I. Witherspoon as vice presi dent, and Mr. R. C. Aileiu as cashier. “Although nothing had been done toward providing a borne for the bank previous to organization, Yorkville people have been impressed with the facility with which the work has been pushed since. The directors at once secured a lease on one of tbe large rooms in tbe old Allison building and gave out their plans to Messrs. Keller & Co. Tbe room has since been trans formed. A handsome plate glass has taken tbe place of tbe clumsy brick and stucco tront. Comfortable and elegant offices have been fitted up in the rear of the building, while tbe front bas been provided with tbe desks, railings and lattice work that go to make up a thoroughly-appointed banking room, while within the rail ing there.^ is a steel-lined, fire-proof vault that contains one of the best and most perfect case-hardened steel burglar proof safes that can be made anywhere in tbe country. It is pro vided with time and combination locks and screw doors and is guaran teed to be absolutely impervious alike to the introduction of the hardest steel cutting instruments or to all ex plosives. “Mr. R. C. Allein, tbe cashier, has had long experience in various branches of tbe banking business, in cluding tbe duties of tbe position he now holds, and like Mr. Wilkins, is a thorough-going business man. With these two gentlemen in charge, backed as they are by auch experi enced and representative gentlemen as constitute th) board of directors, there need be no fears as to the future of this splendid new enterprise, or as to tbe beneficent effect it will have on the welfare of Yorkville, the country surrounding and the whole county.” Hiallautry.
