The bank officers have not made any statement of its condition. Swift. & Company made a deposit of $960 Saturday night. Large depositors are left in a bad financial condition. Thg.ﬁcsonnty has $28,000 tied up by the suspemsion. The police fund of $2,500 is also on deposit in the bank. From the best information’ obtainable the suspension is due to troubles among the stockholders. At the close of busi-

ness Saturday the deposits amounted to $207,000 and the assets to nearly §200,000. It is. the general belief that the depositors are safe.

Some fancy tan shoes are the thing While others to their ear-muffs cling, And mammoth ulsters, deep and wide, And .pink shirts travel side by side. It’s quite eriough to waken smiles To note the gadly tangled styles . That an observer may behold Between these days of hot and cold.
