The old Parker bank building, which is a part of the assets of the defunct bank, has not been sold at this writing, although we understand as high as $3,700 has been bid for the property. The newly organized state bank and Charles Beal, it is said, are after the building, and if the latter gets it he will start a new bank therein. Grant Hall will go to Monticello next week where he will defend the, Farmers Mutual Insurance company in a suit brought by Mr. Bissonette to recover the insurance of the big Parmalee barn which was burned last summer. The defense is that Mr. Bissonette neglected to pay his assessments. .. . The referee of the Parker bank allowed Mr. Pagett’s collateral. There is a law which barred his •claim against the bank, but it appears that the securities he held were exchanged for others which had been in the- possession of Mr. Pagett longer than the time limit in the statute. He has $3,000 First National Bank stock and $7,000 of common stock in an autoengine shop, to satisfy a deposit of $6,875. It is believed that all will be satisfied. —Fowler Leader.
