Incorporated The Bankers' Meet at Stan ford. The Bankers of Groups 8 and 11, which means those of the Eighth and Eleventh districts, met in business ses sion at Stanford Friday, some 125 or more strong, and spent the entire day in threshing over matters concerning the banking business. It was a most repre sentative body of men and nearly every bank in the districts was represented. Speeches were made by many of the gen tlemen, including several of the Rich mond bankers, who also took a promi nent part in the deliberations of that body. The ladies of the Christian church agreed to furnish dinner and refresh ments and royally did they do so. The noon meal was a most elaborate one, while the refreshments at the smoker were very delightful and were elegantly served. It was the intention of the en tertainment committee to lake the visit ors on an automobile ride through the count)', but the inclemency of the wea er knocked out this part of the program. The smoker at the Opera House at night was a very enjoyable feature of the meeting. Mr. Kindrick Alcorn, a prominent young attorney, acted as the t oust master and magnificently filled the bill. There were a number who res ponded to toasts, including our own Mr. U. E. Turley, who covered himself with glory. Other Richmond bankers present were Messrs. Waller Bennett, Samuel P. Deaiheragn and G. B. Turley. The committee on resolutions, which was composed of Mr. Waller Bennett, of the Madison National Bank, this city. Joseph Bertram, of the Monlicello Bank ing Co., Monlicello, S. B. Lynd, Citizens National Bank, Louisville, Samuel II. Nichols, Boyle Bank & Trust Co., Dan ville, and W. P. Walton, of the Phoenix Third National, Lexington, presented the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: We recognize the need of immediate changes in our banking and currency systems and call upon our law matters to enact a law which will red nee the danger of panics to the minimum and put the currency system on a sounder and safer basis. Other resolutions thanking the bankers of Stanford for their courteous treat ment and delightful entertainment of them, the ladies of the Christian church who had charge of dinner and banquet, and Stanford people generally for doing so much for their delectation, were passed They also declare for a closer union between the mountains and the Blue grass section and suggest that the 8th and the Uth groups meet together next time and select some central point, easy of access to the bankers of both of the groups. Mr. J. A. Quisenberry, cashier of the Citizens' National Bank, of Danville, was elected president for the ensuing term. Seeks Assistant Attorneyship Judge J. J.

Smith, of Richmond, one of the multitude who is seeking the Danville Collectorship, has a rather un ique record. He has voted for the Hon orable Secretary of State William Jen nings Bryan five times for President and stated this morning that he hoped to vole for him again. He is a great ad mirer of the Secretary of State. He asked if it would be possible to have an audience with the Secretary and he was told that wiih the record he had it would hardly be any trouble to get to see him. His record is as follows: He voted three times at the general polls and twice he was elector and cast his vote for the Secretary in the Electoral College. He was the only man who won out in the Slale of Kentucky during the stormy times of 1890, and he is very proud of this fact. Though he is eighty-one years of age, he is hale and hearty and looks like he will easily live to cast that sixth vote for Mr. Bryan. "Rich" in Danville Advocate. Another Bumper Crop Year Indicated It is rare that we have two bumper crops in years immediately succeeding each other, but if the government May report is to be relied uptm even last year's high record will be broken. The report just issued by the Department of Agriculture shows the largest winter wheat acreage ever known in this coun try to be in fine condition, with an es timated excess over last year's crop of more than one hundred million bushels. The rye crop is estimated at five million bushels in excess and the new high re cord for hay, which was established last year, will be beaten this year, with a stock on hand at this time double as large as it was a year ago. Nature seems to be smiling its broad est smile upon us, and unless something untorseen happens prosperity will con tinue and increase. The Republicans have all along been claiming the credit for the good crops. It seems that they are to continue even under Democratic rule. To move this bumper crop will take more money than can be supplied under present conditions. The strain last Fall was almost greater than the country could bear. Thus forewarned Congress should get busy and give the country a banking and currency system that can withstand such strains, and not permit the basic wealth of the country to become a menace, as it does under the present system. W. P. Walton in Lexington Herald. Antionette Stockton Hamilton Dead. Mr. and Mrs. T. K. Hamilton have been called upon to give up their baby nine months old Antionette Stockton, Saturday. The end came suddenly and without warning. Little Antionette had never been strong, but was not consider ed dangerously ill when her father left the home for his store that morning. A short while after his arrival he was phoned that she was breathing her last. The shock was a terrific one to Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton and in their great grief they have the unbounded sympathy of every heart in Richmond. May He Who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb comfort them in their distress and give them strength in this dark hour. At 2:30 Sunday afternoon the little body was laid to rest in Richmond Cemetery. Dr. G. W. Crutch field made timely re marks at the grave and an appropriate song was sung by Messrs. W. L. Arnold and Curtis Adams and Mrs. I.C. Ballard and Willie Traynor. The grave was hidden underneath beautiful flowers brought by loving friends. Your Chance to Buy a Small rarm.
