THE BIG CELE-
BRATION AT MORGAN
The two days’ picnic at Morgan
was well attended by people from
Meridian and vicinity, and all re-
port a very enjoyable time taking
in the shows, etc. Large crowds
have been in attendance each day.
The most enjoyable feature of the
picnic seems to have been the races,
the entries and results being as fol-
lows on Tuesday afternoon.

The Hico News came out last
week in the form of a special edi-
tion and contained sixteen pages
of advertisements and interesting
reading matter. This edition was
dedicated to the Old Soldiers and
contained life sketches and half-
tones of many of the "boys." This
was also the first issue on the 28th
year of the News. Editor Straley
is giving the Hico people an ex-
cellent paper, and especially was
the last week’s edition a credible
one. Here’s continued success to
you, Bro. Straley.

Austin, Tex,, July 30.—The
Farmers’ and Merchants’ State
Bank at Winters, was closed last
night by the state bank examiners.
The bank statement shows de-
posits amounting to $55,000 and
and assets totalling approximate-
ly $800,000. The failure was
caused by the defalcation of
which the department of insurance
and"banking states will amount
to approximately $10,000. Cash-
ier F. W. Merrick has been gone
since July 17th.
According to the state banking
department, it is believed the de-
falcation can be covered by liqui-
dation through other banks with-
out the assistance of the guaranty
fund of the bank. The report of
the condition of the bank was
submitted early last week but it
was not decided to close the bank
until Saturday night.
The last time the bank was ex-
amined was on May 22 and ac-
cording to the report of the exam-
iner everything was in good con-
dition on that date. 7

for the illness of her sister.
