STILL THEY GO DOWN.
Another Chapter of Bank Failures
and Heavy Runs.]
A NATIONAL IN KNOXVILLE
95C3PP
Kxoxviu-e, Tenn., July 22.—The
State National bank, of this city, haa
closed it* doors. The bank haa long
been known to be the weakest in the
city. Friday, when $20,000 in deposit*
were withdrawn, it was more than it
could stand.
A meeting of director* was held at
night. An offer of $00,000 to pay de
positors. should a ran occur, was made
|^y the other banks. The offer was not
ipted, however. When it opened
bnainess a ran was precipitated
which only lasted a few moments, as
-the bank dosed its doors for liquida
tion. A notice on the door cays it will
pay the depositors dollar for dollar.
Stockholders will also receive 85 cents
on the dollar.
It was feared that the closing of the
State National bank would cause a panic
in Knoxville financial circles, which
have heretofore been considered very
strong. A slight run was only made
on the City National bank, which is
just opposite the State -bank, but here
depositors were paid in full. The scare
was sool. over. There is no more unea
siness felt hore. It is thought that the
other banks can weather the storm.. /
The Depositor* Will Be Feld.
Lampasas, Tex., Jnly 22.—The pri
vate banking house of J. and L. W.
Galbraith haa failed to open it* doors
having made an assignment to J. I.
Campbell. The liabUitiea are $60,000;
tho assets, $120,000.
A run on the First National bank was
started, but it waa fortunately in a po-
sitiodtio withstand all demands.
Depositors in Galbraith’s bank will

The happiest people we have known

There are persons in every community

disgusting to those that look upon them

heard the remark from one that every

THOSE GRASSHOPPERS.
And the Best Way to Get Rid of Them.
The farmers made an effort to barn
ap tbe grasshoppers yesterday at 3
o'clock but did not succeed very much
in their efforts.
A gentleman told a reporter yester
day that the best way to kill these
grasshoppers is to build a big fire right
across their path and bnild it big
enough to laat through the night.
The grasshoppers will come to tha
light and be burneduip. The farmers
will try this plan and try to extermi
nate the grasshoppers in that way.
j.- AN OLD FIELD WEED.
Many seeing that old fli-li weed, the
mullein stalk, never consider the good
it is accomplishing in curing lnng
troubles. It presents in Taylor’s Cher
okee Rimedy of Sweet Gum and Mul
lein the finest known remedy for
Qjughs, colds and consumption.
The fire department f urnished a small
sensation, yesterday, and contributed
its share of news despite tbe fact that
no fires have come in some time to draw
them out.'
I Two of the firemen quit their jobs,
assigning as their reason that the chief
as disposed to bore a little too much.
There men are J. H. Emerick and
William Emeriok, two brothers, the
former a member of the Company at the
Pioneer hal), the latter staying with the
Company at Hope hall.
Mr. J. H. Emeriok when seen by the
reporter said that some time since,Chief
McDorman suspended his brother,
William, without jnst cause, and that
in addition to that he was too much of
a boss to suit him. Hence he stopped
|work. Mr. Emeriok says that there are
others in the oompanies, who would be
glad to get out too order the existing
circumstances if they had anywhere to
work, ard that some of them would
probably quit anyhow.
Chief McDorman, when seen by the
reporter said: “It is true that J. H.
Emerick and William Emeriok quit the
department, William Eneriok some
time since was off one day as allowed
by the* department to each man as a
day cl recreation. Ha did not behave
as lucernes an officer and I suspended
him for three days. He refused to
abide my decision and carried the mat
ter before the council which body sus
tained me in my action. He has now
quit and his _ brother quit
out of sympathy for him of course.
There are none others who are in any
notion of quitting. The department is
in good shape, and the men (Ire well
satisfied.” . *

Department committee, said everything

partment. . . -,j,.j * „
