of deposits from the People’s Bink,
in equal payments, due January 1,
1903, and January 1, 1904, the
stockholders of the bank giving
personal bond in the sum of $50,000
to secure the payment of these
certifioates.
The first installment of certifi
cates under this agreement fell due
Thursday, January 1 On that day
many holders of these certifioates
were on hand, but it was alegal holt
iday and the bank was closed, it
was rumored then, however, that
the certificates might not be paid
Friday the bank was opened, but
when parties presented paper for
payment they were told to come
b-ck later, as there hid been some
hitch in arrangements. The day
passed and none were made. Now
it is • fficuxlly announced that the
oerrificut s have gone by default.

Thus the situation stands. No one
seems to know what the next- move

obligations on the part of the bonk
Is a source of genuine regret. 'Out
of the failure have come many civil
and criminal suits, and it was be
lieved that payment of this first
installment of c-rtifiiates would go
far toweid a settlement of the old
troubles.
Since the People’s Bink hns been
in operation its affairs have been
kept in the very best condition.
It has already paid every depositor
it hud, and in fact, its officers have
given ny'st- of their attention to the
liquidation of tie business of the
old bank. The failure to make this
payment by the Peojlo’s Bank and
its stockholders on these c..itificMes
will not affect the other business
interests of Barnesville. Since one
year ago, t’re First- National Bank
and the Citizen’s Bank have been
organized there, end they have on
deposit more than SIOO,OOO and the
business interests are in splendid
condition.
