relief work is handling for

affairs are -permitted to lag,
but where Mr. Brogoitti, as

the full-time work of both his

The Chamber of Commerce

be congratulated on getting the

Not many banks, in the smal

the Mirror appears a signed
statement by Drs. IL J. Child-

they point out some of the rea-
sons they will not be able to

patients at their sanitariums,
unless there is some assurance
that the actual cost of handling
these cases be paid by some-
self-liquidating project by the
R. F. C. with assurance that
the natatorium woukl be ad-

and a means of repaying it.

Walter G. Russell, presiding,

G. L Florence was sworn in
by Judge Russell and at once
entered upon his duties.
The following grand jurors
were empanelled and sworn in:

Judge Russell in charging
the grand jury as to their
duties tried to impress them
with the responsibility of their
duties and charged them on
perjury, showing that it was
a menace to justice. He also
charged them on the enforce-
ment of the Dean law and
commended the officers on the
vigilance in enforcing the
whisky laws. He especially em-
phasized the necessity of en-
forcing the drunk car driver
law, and wound up with the
admonition that all men should
stand before the law equal, the
rich as well as the poor.
Mr. J. A. Meecom was named
as foreman, and Mr. W. A.
Rutledge as door baliff, and
the grand jury retired to the

Upshur County was left with
only two banks outside of Gil-
mer, with the closing of the
First State Rank, Pritchett,
which was decided on at a
meeting of the officers and di-
. rectors at a meeting held on
December 26.
Sifce that time, the bank has
been paying all of its depostiors
the money they had with them.
It is expected the bank’s af-
fairs will be wound up shortly.
With present costs of operat-
ing a bank, the scarcity of cash
, or safe loans, those in charge
decided the bank had served
its best period of usefulness,
and that it would be the best
policy to discontinue business.
Mr.' J. K. Mitchell has been
cashier of the bank for 19
years. Others connected in an
official capacity are R. S.
