Management and Policy A bank’s success depends chiefly upon xxthe character of the men back of it, and to the conservative policies to which they adhere. !i; Realizing their responsibilities to the pnblic, thestocknolders of this bank T . have placed its management in the hands of directors who actually map out its policies, and they in turn have selected to carry out these policies a group of officers who have the confi- , dence of the banking world, and who , have been for many years intimately associated with the financial upbuilding of the city.

Editor of Decatur Democrat: As there are many in Adams county who take your valuable paper that are well acquainted with me, please allow me to explain through your paper the nature of the case filed by Charles Mumma against myself and Dallas and W’illiam Johns. It was simply a personal grudge that Mr. Mumma held against Mr. Johns, that took place on election day, November 8, 1910. In order to get even with Dallas Johns he had to bring innocent persons into this suit, William Johns and myself. The timber in dispute was the property of myself, one of the defendants. M. F. ASPY.
