The First National bank of Canadian was closed recently by a bank
examiner. A statement issued by the directors says there is a shortage
of $20,000 in the accounts of Fain G. Gillock, cashier, which he has lost
in the past thirty days in oil and townsite speculation. Friends of Gillock
have promised to make good the loss. If so the bank will reopen. The
bank had $70,000 deposits, $25,000 capital, and $4,500 surplus. The de-
positors will be paid in full it is stated.
Since the legislature in the regular session failed to touch the propo-
sition of abolishing certain schools in the state, and thereby failed to act
on the recommendation of Governor Cruce in his first message to the leg-
islative body concerning that question, there is every probability that the
people may have an opportuny to settle the school question at an election
to be held on August 5, this year. At the same time the people will say
, whether or not they want Section 9, Article 9, changed, according to the
j senate joint resolution by Senator Roddie.
Attention is called to the fact that Saturday, May tne 3rd, is our next
regular monthly Sales Day in Pittsburg. The program will be similar to
those carried out on former occasions, and a good time for all is antici-
pated. If there is anything you would like to sell, buy, of trade, sales
day will afford you the opportunity. Our auctioneer will be at your
service, without any cost to you, and will auction off ’ any old thing you
may wish to turn into money. If it does not bring a satisfactory price,
you have the privilege of bidding it in. Bring your family to Pittsburg
on sales day, and spend the day with us. It will afford you at least some
measure of relaxation from your daily toil. Even if you do not care to
sell or buy anything, you can spend the time most profitably meeting with
others, exchanging views, renewing acquaintances, and cultivating socia-
bility. The Pittsburg chamber of commerce cordially tenders to you the
hospitality of our city on that occasion, and trusts that you will favor us
with your presence.
