C'port. Loose Leaf House Will
Delay Opening Owing to
, Market. Mr. Boyle is in the
County.
No date can be set at present for
the opening of the Loose Leaf market
at Cloverport. But very little tobacco
is stripped, and there seems to be a
disposition on the part of some of the
buyers to open later than we expect
ed. However, we will open as soon
as we think best for the good of the
market.
Prices do not look good at present.
If it is best for the farmers to open
early we would be more than glad
to do it, but we" will have to wait until
a sufficient number of buyers are
ready.
J. Walter Boyle is in the county
looking at the tobacco and working
in the interest of the Loose Leaf mar
ket. He reports prospects good for
larger sales this year than last.
We will notify through the columns
of The Breckenridge News the exact
date of the opening of the local mar
ket. Cloverport Loose Leaf Warehouse

Judge D. D. Dowell. having resigned his position as Cashier,
of The Bank of Hardinsburg & Trust Company, as shown by
his letter of resignation published, dated November 18th, 1!)20.
The Directors of The Bank of Hardinsburg & Trust Co., met
in regular session at its place of business in 'Hardinsburg, Ky.,
on November 22, 11)20, and accepted the resignation of Judge
D. D. Dowell. as Cashier by resolution, thereupon by unani
mous vote of the directors of said Institution. B. F. Beard
was elected active Vice President and General Manager of said
Institution. This choice was predicated solely upon the unusual
business ability that B. F. Beard, eldest son of the late M. H.
Beard, former Cashier of this Institution, has manifested since
his connection therewith as Assistant Cashier for about 18
months past. It is a compliment, after 'the close observation of
said B. F. Beard byi the Board that it unanimously concluded
that he very justly merited' this compliment in view of the abil
ity he possesses together with the trait of industry and busi
ness qualification which marks him as especially fit for this posi
tion. Mr. Beard's personal habits, his industry and qualifiea
i tion render imperitive and inevitable his steady advancement
at the hands of the Board of Directors of this Institution.
Thereupon, by unanimous vote. Mr. Geo. E. Bess, who has
been connected with this bank for about 4 years, in the capacity
of Manager of the. Trust Department and whose especial quali
fications for banking are now widely known, was unanimously
elected to the position of Cashier of said Bank.
Mr. Morris Miller, who has been with the Bank for the
past twelve months, was then elected Assistant Cashier.
As stated in its resolution accepting the resignation of Judge
fD. D. Dowell as Cashier, the Directors did. so with deep regret,
because Judge Dowell's administration as Cashier of said In
I stitution was eminently satisfactory to the Bank and its many
j patrons.
' The policies of the Bank which have been maintained in the
' past and which have brought to the Institution such well known
results will be adherred to in the future.
Respectfully,
M. D. Beard, President,
of Tne Bank of Hardinsburg & Trust Co

extended until Saturday, Nov. 27.

mie Frank.
An effort is being made to get the
names of a hundred or more- persons
in order to keep the local chapter. But
many of the ardent supporters of the
Red Cross in war times are lax in
time of peace, hence it was found
necessary to appoint personal solicitors.
