BANKING. The batiks of deposits and loans Sfe indispensible to the transaction of business; are a sure evidence of the prosperity of the communities where they are established. And our town of Nashville can claim that it presents evidence of prosperity in the establishment of the Nashville State Bank, and the .private banking house of Jos, M, Cook, an older institution than the Nashville State Bank, and its existence and the good work done by it for several years, presented to the minds of our well-to-citizens and to outsiders the idea that a bank organized under the Indiana banking laws would meet with a welcome by the people of our county and facilitate business transactions much to the general good. So it came to pass that about two years ago, under the leadership of Marcus R. Sulzer, a capitalist pf Madison, Indiana, a movement was made for the organization of the Nashville State Bank. The move was a success from the very inception of it. The beautiful and substantial bank building, that adorns our village, 9 was soon erected, and the process of organizing for business was the work of a few days. The new bank had been in successful operation for about eighteen months. Then the thought came to the minds of the management, “Why have two banks in Nashville ?~there is good room for one, but no real need for two banks.” Dr, Cook was of the same opinion, so the work of making one bank of the two was easy; and now Cook’s private bank, a concern of much backbone, bone and muscle, and the Nashville State Bank are one bank, retaining the name “Nashville State Bank.”

GRIM REHPEi MAETHA MASON. Saturday night, March 2d, 1907, at the home of her niece, Mrs. Frank P. Taggart, in Nashville, Mrs. Martha Mason died of pneumonia at the age of , 91 years, 7 months and 2 days, j The deceased was the wife of John W. Mason who died many years ago. : During the past 21 years she has made her home with Mrs. Taggart. Mrs. Mason was an every-day Christian. The beautifying influences of a pure religion were spread over a life I and character as spotleas and charming j as was ever possessed by any of the noj ble women who have 7 ived and died j during the ages that a-e gone. She I was hospitable and benevolent and greatly beloved in the community and ; in her death there passed away a pioneer woman who impressed her character upon the county by her kind and gentle disposition. Adhering to the faith of her fathers, she united with the Christian church in early life and loved to attend its services when health permitted. While she has continued to enjoy the society of friends and relatives, she has for several years, realized thai aer active life was over and with resignation awaited the Divine call from de i unto life. Not for her De our t -Are! rather let us crown her grave with garlands; few of us will live as long or as well, and fewer yet will the Angel of Death greet with such a loving touch. The remains were conveyed to South Bethany Monday moraing where the funeral took place from the Christian Church at 2 o’clock p. m. The services were conducted by Elder Murray. The interment followed in the adjoining cemetery.

ness he laid down the working tools of life at his home in Yates Center Feb. 15, 1907, aged 83 years, 2 months and 29 days. Funeral services were conducted at the family residence by Elder G. H. Lamb, a friend of many years’ standing, assisted by Rev. Fred Schmidt, after which the beautiful Masonic burial service was given and he was laid to rest in Graoeland cemetery. FUNERAL GRINER Frank J. Griner who departed this life February 28tb, 1907, was buried Sunday, March 4th. The funeral services were conducted at the home of his sister, Mrs. Tilda Mathis, by Rev. C. L. Hicklia. Burial at the Crouch cemetery at 2 o’clock p. m. The burial of Mr. Griner’s grand-daughter, infant child of Emmett Brown, occurred at the same hour and place.

Dr. Cook is one of the largest, perhaps the largest, resident stockholders, and the body of local stockholders is composed of the best men in the county, reckoned from the standpoint of wealth, and viewed from any standpoint they will grade “A No. 1.” As now organized, we note that Henry B. Miller is president of the bank. He was recently county treasurer, serving two terms with marked ability and integrity. First vice president is Joseph A. Lucas, present county treasurer. Mr. Lucas had been for years a successful merchant at Cooper, this county, Wm. M. Waltman is 2d vice-pres’t. He served with rare distinction as prosecutor when Brown and Bartholomew counties were a judicial district. He is now especially distinguished as an orohadfst; has second biggest apple and poach orchard in the state. Ira W. Taggart, a‘Nashville boy from the beginning, is cashier.• Ho is “worthy and well qualified;” knows Mb bus iness, and his urbanity and pleasan way of transacting business make him a public favorite. The directors are John B. Seitz, co. auditor; Marcos B. Sulzer, of Madison, Indiana, and Ben. T. Head, a banker of Lexington, Ky., and also the officers of the bank. The people need no introduction to John B. Seitz. He is a director who will be all that is implied in the word “ director.” Marcus R. Sulzer is an energetic business man who has a high ideal in all that relates to the duties of life, public and private. Mr. Head comes "well recommended” and under this directorship, with its augmented capital, the Nashville State Bank will have a useful and beneficent career. .

MARRIED “What ia there in the vale of life Half so delightful as a wife; When friendship, love and peace combine To stamp the marriage bond divine?” A double wedding occurred afe the home of Misa Alice Foreman’s parents near Pike’s Peak Wednesday evening. Miss Alice was married to Marcus A. Swank, and Miss Lettje Foreman and George W. Toyey were united in marriage. The ceremony was performed by Rev. G. W, Clark in his usual happy style. Miss Estella Phillips and Mr. Artie Bright were married in Oolumbas a few d;*ys ago. The bride is a daughter of John Phillips of Bartholomew county. The groom is a son of 0. F. Bright of this county. Mrs. Eunice Bishop and William Belamy were married by Thos. Evans at his home near Mt. Liberty on the 2d inst, LOOR8 LIKE A WINNER.

Of course, the people of Nashville and of all the county are proud of the new bank, and it has their utmost confidence in all things that relate to what a bank may do or ought to do. Dr. Cook deserves much credit foir the work he has done in the matter of supplying funds for the use of traders and merchants, as also, for the supply of money to farmers awaiting sale of crops. He has made himself a useful citizen, and as age came upon him he retired from the banking business and will look after his farming interests which he already has done much to make a respectable and profitable business. Dr. Cook ever heartily and liberally responded to the calls of distress. His modest, quiet methods of charitable work made him much beloved by th< recipients and the tCQmmunity in general, He retires to get a needed rest and to become a silent factor in a business where the burden rests on other shoulders.

INSPECTION PROOF ——*** EVERY single shoe that goes through the great “Queen Quality” factory must pass through the hands of no fewer than six different inspectors. A premium is paid for every imperfection detected. No shoe with any imperfection however slight is allowed to bear the “Queen Quality” stamp. It must be rejected and sold as damaged. Five expert shoemakers superintend the inspection squad and coach the foremen and workmen to keep every shoe up to the “Queen Quality” standard. As an extra precaution, before packing they get three more inspections — from the inspection squad, the foreman and the packer. Yet this is only indicative of the methods that make the sales of “Queen Quality” Shoes much the largest in the world. Let us show you the hew styles at $3.00, $3.50 and $4.00. For Sale by T. D.
