The Star State Bank
In Liquidation
COMMUNITY N#~S ITEMS WELL WRITTEN
. Arrangements, effective March
1, were perfected by the officers
and stockholders of the Star
State bank whereby the Trent
State bank of this eity took their
business over for liquidation. The
Star bank was perfectly solvent,
and has large assets In excess of
Its liabilities, but the officers
and stockholders decided It bet-
ter to liquidate the bank than to
press collections and force sac-
rifices on the part of those In-
debted to that institution. By
this arrangement the depositors
are paid In full on demand, their
checks being honored at' the
Trent bank the same aa they
would have been on the 8tar
bank and more lenlehcy can be
shown those Indebted to the
bank than otherwise would have
been possible. The arrangement
will work very ttttle Inconven-
ience to the depositors, and the
Star community In general, and
certainly will be far more satis-
factory than for collections to
have been forced on the bank’s
debtors.

Messrs. Rudd,. Evans and McCul-

the others Judged the oratory.
The ones that wtn over the rep-

the coming oratorical contests
will carry home the honors.
These "racketeers” are noted mu
slcians. They play as well without
the music as they do with it. Not
many musicians can do that. Mr.
Evans delivered his famous ad-
dress on the “Country Boy Mov-
ed to Town." This address was
well received and applauded by
the large congregation.
Mr. Burcft dreamed if he
would make a contribution to the
