TIIIO BANK TIIGT7BLK.
The Nashville American of the
8th instant contained the following
reference to the trouble over the
bank at this place:
" Quito a party of prominent Ten
nesse lawyers were in the city yes
terday in the interest of the Camden
bank litigation, appearing in a mo
tion before Judge A. J. Abernathy,
oMhat district, to dissolve an in
junction. Among the number was
J). G. Hudson, clerk nnd master of
Banton County and receiver of the
bank under the general creditor's
bill; Judge Joe Hawkins, of Hunt
ingdon; S. L. Peeler and T. C. Rye,
of Camden; J. C. Sweeney and W,
W. Farabough, of Paris, and J. A
Clement, of Camden.
Mr. Clement and his associates
secured n, decree in favor of the
eeneral creditors' bill. The, gen
tlemeii returned to their homes last
night, having completed their work
m Nashville.
" The Camden bank failure is now
the all-absorbing topic- in Benton
County, and it is a matter of im
possibility to foreshadow the proo
able outcome.- Under the order of
Judge Abernathy, parties who have
signified their intention of placing
money at the bank will now be in a
position to examine the books and
nnnora of the institution. Hereto
fore this was impossible under an
injunction, and parties who might
be interested themselves financially
