home of his sister, Mrs. F. M. Whitlock.
He, in a conversation, gave a

he cut. packed and sold 7<K) bundles
11,1 of hay at 75c a bundle. Year before
1.200 bales. He puts his oat and
P. wheat land broad cast, in peas, and
it has his own packing machine. Why

THE PEOPLE'S HANK.
Another Union Enterprise. Backed
by Abundant Capital
and Bruins.
A new bank is to be organized and
modern building is to be erected in a j
convenient location on Main street.
Tbe promoters are H. F. Arthur, Manager
of The A. II. Foster Co.'s great
store, T. C. lhinean, President of the
I'nion and UulTalo Mills, and \V. I>.
Arthur, City Treasurer and Wholesale
Merchant. This is a powerful eomhi
nation, ami the fact thai this new enterprise
has this leverage behind it is u
sntlicient guarantee that the business
will he conducted upon business principles
ami will he a success from tin* beginning.
The name of the bank will
be The People's Bank, ami this is what
it is to he in fact as well as in name.
The establishment of another hink in
I'nion was thought to be necessary,
from the fact that recently money
seemed to be v? rv tight, ami in many
instances people were unable to borrow
money with the best collateral. The
M. ami P. Bank for instance has g-.t
their money loaned out to the amount
of nearly ?200,OW or three times the
amount of their capitalization. No one
can attach any blame to the banks, they
are carrying a heavy load, and of course
feel that it is necessary to protect their
regular customers. It is a situation
that has naturally arisen as a consequence
of the rapid industrial progress
of the town of I'nion ami tli?? 1
lishmcnt of another hank has boon for
some time considered a real necessity
of the town. The object of the promoters
of this ban!' is not to place large
blocks ol stock with capitalists, but
rather to place the stock with the people,
and every man, farmer, laborer,
lawyer, ,doctor, merchant, or planter,
who has one hundred d liars or more, !
is invited to take stock in the now bank. <
It will be a bank of the people, with J1
the people and for the people. The
capital stock is to be Siin,uno, and the i
ohjest will be to relieve the tightness of i
the money situation, and lend money
to all persons with good collateral, and,
at a 'awful rate of interest. There is
not the slightest feeling of antagonism
to the present banks by the promoters
of the new bank. It is simply an effort
to meet the demands of the times. The i
second bank of this town, that of Wm. ! j
A. Nicholson & Son was established 1
some or more years ago. This was 1
done because it was felt that the in- 1 *
tcrests <>f the town and tin* require- j!
incuts of the people demanded it. It ! '
has continued to do a successful lmsi- 1
ness since it* establishment, thus justi-1 i
- fving the enterprise, and demonstrating ' i
the wisdom of its establishment. Now .
lets lo >k at the situation. At that time '
the town of l'nion boasted of a popu- '
lation of 1 MHi inhabitants only. Not
long afterwards the town began to '
awaken, imbued with the spirit of industry,
our first industrial enterprise
was the little l'nion (til mill, of which
the late lamented Win. A Nicholson
was the president, a few years later the
l'nion Cotton Mill No. 1, was erected t
with T. C. Ihinean as its president, ami !,
an influx of population was a result. 11
Then followed tlie mammoth mill No.;
2, the Knitting mill and recently the
Monarch Mill, the HufTalo mill, the 1
Kitrmtuvo (acloriuu, tliw IIu?.lu>.i.>J ji
tory, the Carriage factory, the Harness j'
factory the brick factory, and now j *
comes the .KtnaCotton Mills, and thus <
industry after industry has been spring-' (
ing up on every hamt ami the po mla-',
tion has increased at an unprecedented i
rate until l'nion can boast at least b.nno
inhabitants, with every prospect favor- |]
able for a continuation of this wonder- '
ful progress.
Taking all this into consideration, it 1
would seem that the establishment of
another bank would not only be
a wise act upon the part of the
promoters but will supply the'
town with an institution the necessity
of which was becoming urgent. We
predict a successful business for this
new bank from the start. The charter
lias been applied for, the organization
will be perfected at an early date. The
board will decide upon one of the sites

stock will he each and the terms of ;
payment will he arranged to suit the'
times.

Mr. B. Frank Arthur will he the president
<?f the new hank. Mr. Arthur is
one of Union's most prominent young
business men, whose record is one to he
proud of, and sets a shining example of
what may he attained by a poor hoy, j
hacked by honesty and integrity, and j
an indomitable purpose of summouut- <
ing the ditliculties encountered in his I
path. K.ndowed with these qualities i
any young man may safely calculate j
that there is a place reserved for him at !
the top. The old adage, "a prophet is
not without honor save at his own I
home," does not apply in this case.
Mr. B. Frank Arthur is the grandson i
of Dr. .fas. II. I>ogan, who was in his j
day one of Union county's most famous j
financiers, and one of the most wealthy
men in the upper counties, lie is the
third son of B. F. Arthur, a prominent
lawyer, who died in IM7t?. lie was
clerk of the famous seccssional convention.
B. F. Arthur was horn and reared
Ill I num. i if in iruiy Hill i vt: aim i numanor
born, llo began bis oibioation
under that eminent schohir, now .finite
1). A. Townsend, under whom ho took
a special course of mathematics. His
next tutor was Rev. 11. (5. Clifford, IMi.
I)., f>. I)., now the principal of the famous
seminary for you no women. At
the age of 14 years, he left school to
accept a situation of clerk at the hardware
store of J. II. Rodger, where he
remained 4 years. During this time by j
the closest economy, he managed to
save up enough money to take a business
course at Kastman liiisiness College,
at Poughkepsie, N*. V. Finding
that he had not sufficient money to
complete the course and bring him
home, he was forced to borrow the necesssary
amount. Cpon his return he
was employed as bookkeeper by his old
employer .t. II. Rodger, which position
lie neld for 2 years. lie then formed a
partnership with \V. H. Sartor, under
the tirm name of Sartor and Arthur,
within four days after this business was
formed they experienced a considerable
std hack by being burned out, but these
two determined young men were not to
lie cast down by this ea'ainity, with
what few goods they saved they opened
up in a small warehouse on a hack
street and continued business until the
building burned could he rebuilt. They
entered the new building, which is the
one now occupied by Norman ik Mutphy,
and did a successful business. In 1SS7
he engaged in the fertilizer business for
tw j years, his progress has ever been
onw'ard and upward. About this time
lie was approached by ('apt. A. M. foster,
that noted financier, who had
watched this young man's progress, and
bad noted his business (|ualilicaij<>ns,
bis honesty, integrity, industrious spirit,
his sobriety and up-right moral character,
t?> take an interest in his business,
tbut of the Foster, Wilkins w Co.. the
largest business iu the tow, by hug
odds. 1 le accepted, and iiere it nrght
lie said under the excellent tutorship of
('apt. A. If. Foster, the practical I art of
his financial education began, lie was
an apt scholar and profited by bis op- j
portunity to tlmioughtv familiarize j
himself with the financial work of this
largo concern, hater Wdkins drew out
and the iirm was reorganized under tlie*
linn name of A. II. Foster ik t'o., composed
of A. II. Foster, I*. F. Arthurand
(?eo. 11. f tctzel. Mr. Arthur was made
the buyer and credit man. later the firm
name was changed to the A. II. Foster
('o., and Mr. Arthur has since been general
manager of the concern, which lias
continued to grow and prosper under
his management. This hu-incss, which
i iriiieriy Unl pnneipailly a credit business,
has been l?r<practical!y to a
cash I) sis <iti<I the credit business is a
secondary matter.
The success that has hocn hainnicrcd
out ot diflleeulties wherever encountered ;
by tliis man is an evidence of the fact
that the important ollicc of President of ,
this important new enterprise could not
have been placed in better hands. Mr.
Arthur is only dS years of age. All the
other corporators are self-made men,
who have struggled from the bottom
up, never lagging and never hesitating
when apparently insurmountahle ditliculties
arose in their paths, 11 my are

Bench Warrants.
Quite a little confusion occurred
imong the boys who were witnesses

so n tinned?they bad never been
sworn before the Grand Jury and not
mowing that they would be required
to appear at this court without due
act ice did not. go, and a bench warrant
was issued for all of thorn, which
saused some fun and a good deal of i
uneasiness among the boys, all of
whom would have gone willingly had
they known they were wanted.
