RIVERS ELECTED PRESIDENT.
At El Paso, Banker W H. Rivers, '
Elgin, was elected president of the Texas
Bankers' Association. An Elgin special
to the Galveston News has this to say of
Mr. Rivers, which a life-time acquain-
tance, justifies the Advertiser in giv-
ing full endorsement:
Mr. Rivors was born about fifty years
ago within a fow miles of Klgm, his pres-
ent home. The writer has known him
sinie his boyhood and recalls his
early days upon the farm, afterward a
clerk, then a drummer for a hardware
house, then in mercantile buisnesa fur
himself and since a banker. Before and
during and after the war Mr. Rivers has
continuously lived near the place of his
birth, and he is chock full of reminis-
cences which the writer has many times
heard him relate in Ins own happy style.
Mr. Rivers dii not have the -pporttin-
ity to obtain an education as is aecordod
to the boys of toJay. It is probably due
to this fact that he takes so great an in-
terest iu t.ic educational matter; of to-
day, bo-at'. lelcss he is a well-read
man, a de> p thinker and an active doer,
isidentiflnd with the progress of this sec-
tion, to which he has in a large measure
contributed, there bemg few successful
enterprises in this section that do not
L;ar the stamp of Ins handiwori:.
In adversity, as well as prosperity, h-
has stood shoulder with our people,
couraging diversification, an 1 setting |
the example, he being a I ir.r • farm- |
er, always ready with a word ol advice,
of caution or of confidence.
Proprietor of tho Bank of Flgiu, presi-
dent of the First National Bank at
T.iorndal®, president of the Thorndale
Mercantile Company, vice president of
the Klgin Butler Brick At Tile C ompany,
aud president of the board of trustees for
the Klgin public schools, it do«s look
like lie would be a very busy man;
yet he is never too busy to crack a
joke or trade "hosses" in both of which
lie is a pastmaster. We are proud of our
Mr. Rivers and pleased to WatchhisiUO-
cess.
