There will be soma Late Wednesday -enlng the Ohio County Bank by order of Its direc tors assigned for the bineflt ot Its creditors to A. E. Pate, of Hartford. Ky. It Is thought Jhat the bank's condition will warrant the statjmnt that all the creditors will receive dol lar for dollar on tha bank's lnd bteJ ness. As yet the assignee ha3 not had the aportunlty to make up a de tailed statement of the banks as3ets and to receive thorough advices as to the valu3 of same. The assets how ever, are conskterahly In excess of the debts, much of which consists of val uable real estat3 which has b?en tak en for debts and otherwise acquired by the bank. The assignment fcr the purpose Indicated has created very little, If any, exoltement about tha community, because the depositors have always and now have Implicit confidence In the bank's president, who has heretofore practiced the plan of takink from his Individual property to protect any Impairment of the banks capital stock, .Instead of employ lng that -other custom so frequently resorted to wherein bank officers have been accused of taking from Paucdoii, Ky., Jan. 23 Close on tie he-rtj of a. statement by a close perewal friend of John K.

Headrlolc's frlemd says while re ports from over the State Indlcata ho would have the strongest suppont of any candladte by the voters of the Party, he would stand no chance to win. Hondrick declined to confirm or deny the statement saying he will announce his final determination In a ,woek. He admitted he has been unred again and again to make the race for Attorney General. The failure to call a Senatorial primary has bean a. nard strain on the loyalty of the Gi braltar district Democrats, ho ar strong for. Ollle James. The Calloway Gazette said editori ally.: i ;.'The cough riders composing the Democratic State Executive Commit tee apparently think they are playing hell with all the candidates for State officers who are not on this com tnlttjee elite. We have lost lateawt in tha matter because as sure as guu is Iran, the n.-xt State officers of Ken- tuony will all be Rojmbllcan. "This talk of 'patriotic primary makes people weary.
