BANK OK FOWLER PAYS FIFTH DIVIDEND.

The depositors of the Baldwin & Dague bank at Fowler received an additional .dividend of ten per cent Wednesday. This is the fifth dividend that has been paid and the depositors have mst received half of the money dLe them. dividend was made possible by the sale of a railway on the Arkansas plantation, which belonged exclusively to the Fowler, bank. It seems to us that Receiver Elliott is exceedingly slow in the settling up

the affairs of this bank. Men who know, tell us that the Fowler bank has property to burn, that they will be able to pay the depositors in full and have property left. Yet it has been over two years and the depositors have received only half of the money. •Receiver Elliott recently blocked the sale of the notes which the three banks are joint owners and the sale of which would have greatly hastened the settling up the affairs of the three banks. Perhaps Receiver Elliott does not realize that the present worth of the money due the depositors is greater than a larger sum, that is, if they must wait a long time for settlement. —Fowler Leader.
