| ?The Now Year is here and after a thorough examination of
the Bank by the Directors and they reported to the Stock
holders, it was unanimously decided that THE PEOPLE’S
HOME BANK was all right and the only criticism that was
made on the Management was that the management was too
conservative. Well we can stand that kind of criticism. We
will protect our Depositors and Stockholders even though our
earnings are light. We would be glad to have you reader for
a customer of the Bank. G. M. COFFMAN, President.

i ted the plan of having its readers vote on

A representative of the Telegraph was
here Wednesday explaiuing the propcsi
j tion to several of our young ladies, and at
least one of them. Miss Grace Haight,
will enter the race, which is open to
every boy or girl, man or woman of good
! standing in this vicinity. Everybody has
! aa equal chance to earn this fine trip and
those who are willing to exchange a little
of their spare time for a nice summer
vacation would do well to wnte at once
to the Contest Editor of the Telegraph
for particulars.
It is understood that extraordinary ef
forts are being made by the Telegraph to
increase its subscription lists, and as it is
a bright newsy paper the effort will no
doubt be successful.
The persons in each district receiving
the largest number of points or votes in
the Telegraph's contest will be taken in
a Pullman car to Seattle, via Salt Lake
and Portland. All expenses en route and
for the entire trip of two weeks will be
paid by the Telegraph and a chaperon
will be with the party at all times. If

holding in the Arkansas Valley. That
there is a good demand for an established
seed business is proven by the changes
that have lately taken place.

Ebbert Seed Co., early in the week dis
posed of the business, stock, and all ap
purtenances pertaining thereto to A. W.
Creagor of Lamar, who is moving in to
day and will assume active charge next

to manage the business personally for a
time, as he leaves next week for Texas
to look after the produce business of H.
Woods & Co., but he will have a compe
tent man in charge.
