The spelling contest to select
a representative of the grammar
depart ment of the city schools
for the county contest resulted
in the selection of Floy Over-
street. Other close contestants
were Elvie Shelton, Euell Batt.
Mamie Wheeler and Claude
Bemusdaffer. The purpose of
these contests is to stimulate an
interest in the subject of spell-
ing and develop better spellers.
Farm Loans closed promptly, J ed to
hurt as the Judge lost his smile
and showed signs of being grog-
gy and had he been handed a
couple more in succession he
might have taken the count.
The first contest came it? the
selection of a lemperary chair-
man between a Clark man,. J. A.
Duff, and a Wilson m««, A W-
Riggs, of Foss, At this time
the Rocky and Sentinel men had
not gotten used to the .1 udge,s
presence within their camp and
was a bit shie, aud the Clark
men. won. This contest came
up again when the committee
on permanent organization made
its report recommening Prof.
West- from Sentinel as perm-
anent" chairman An amend
ment was offered substituting
the name of J, A. Duff for that
of West which was carried by a
handsome majority,
When the count was announced
Mr. Billups demanded its verifi-
cation which gave the Sentinel
and Rocky delegates more con-
fidence and it was smooth saling
afterwards and those gentlemen
from Sentinel wftb were in favor
of crucifying Billups because of
loosing one agricultural college
a couple of years ago, took him
in and snuggled up to him like
Hetty Green's fingers to. a bank
note.
The next fight came when
some new comer from the west
part of the county at the behest
of Billups submitted a list of
men to be selected as delegates
together with a resolution that
they be instruted for Woodrow
Wilson.
Here is when the fire works
began. The Clark men offered
an amendment that the name of
Woodrow Welson be stricken
out and that the delegation go
unstructed, only to follow an ex-
pressed sentiment of the conven-
tion. This was only calling a
spade a spade with a mental
reservation that you could'use it
as a shovel if the Clark men want
some horses and a couple* cows,
besides all of his farming tools
and household goods. The
health of Mrs. Wilbourn made
this step necessary. He is- also
affected with rheumatism and
wants to<seek a more congenial
climate.
Hinder the present system the
farmer is between the devil and
the deep blue sea. Some tiisffe
ago a renter was sued by his
landlord for possession of the
farm. He bad some cotton #efc
in the field' and did not want to
get off at that time so hired a
lawyer to fight the case, lost o<at,
and gave a mortgage to the law-
yer for upwards of $70 as an an-
torney'sfee. Poor devil he had
better let the cotton fertilized; the
landlord's farm rather than the
lawyers pocket.

Profbably nine out of ten people with banking con-
nections speak of,the bank as my bank."
Loyalty to the bank may be the cause in some cases
but more frequently the reason is that they are justly
proud of the distinction that goes with a good bank
connection.
It is the ambition of the officers'and directors of
this bank to conduct the business of the institution
and to deal with its customers in such a pleasant way
that everybody will be pleased to refer.to the j Cor-
dell Nattional Bank as my bank''
