Supplement to The Miltonvale Record Sept. 25 1913. Rank Consolidation. One of the most important business events occurring in Miltonvale for a long time was the consolidation of the Drover State Home State banks. Negotiations to that end have been in progress for sometime and the deal was finally closed last Friday evening.

W. Earl Emick buying the major interest of Jno. B. Morris an I some others in the Drovers State and the State Bank at Ames. The two Miltonvale banks were merged and reorganized with Geo.

H. Moss, J. W. Fury, Vice and W. Earl Emick, Cashier.

Most if not all of the stock holders of both banks are still interested in the business. The consolidation makes one exceptionally strong bank of two smaller ones, eliminating extra expenses without in any way interfering with the service rendered. Mr. Morris will continue his insurance, real estate and loan business at his former location. Mr.

Geren will help Earl and John Emick in the new bank for a- while at least, and C. E. Emick and Virgil will coutinue as they now are. These are the present arrangements, though changes may be announced later. The retiring cashier of the Drovers Bank, Mr.

Morris, has been in Miltonvale for thirty years, and no business man of the city has a larger circle of friends and acquaintances than he. Constant and strenuous application to his work has told on him steadily for the past year and he welcomes the change giving him an opportunity for much needed rest and recreation. Mr. Earl Emick is almost as well known as Mr. Morris, having been a Miltonvale boy for practically all of his life.

He is one of the most energetic and competent business man the town has ever had and his past experience in the banking line has proven his qualification for the position. The other officers and stock holders are almost as well known and the enlarged institution starts off with the best wishes of everybody. A very pretty home wedding was celebrated at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G.

J. M. Bailey officiating. Only the immediate relatives and intimate friends of the contracting parties were present. The bride and groom have both lived all their lives in Miltonvale and are well known to most of our readers: Mrs.

Bulleigh as a former clerk at the Swartz Lynn store and later as her fathers assistant in the Post Office. She has been one of the social leaders of the younger set, and is a most charming and popular young lady. The groom has been employed in the harness shop here for several years, and is a skillful and competent workman. Since Mr. Buche went into the Post Office he has been in charge of the shop and has proven his worth as a popular and efficient business man.

Both he and his bride have a large circle of personal friends who join in wishing them long life with happiness and prosperity. Today was Mrs. Jas. McMillen's birthday and a number of friends celebrated the day at dinner with her. Phil Desmarteau made a business trip to Concordia yesterday.

says The Rolla Co. (Mo.) Times, "think of a milkman being arrested for putting a little harmless water in his product. At the time he wore wool clothes badly adulterated with shoddy, and shoes with soles a- dulterated with paper or wood shavings. For breakfast he drank rdulterated coffee, his meat was spiced with adulterated pepper, his cakes were puffed with adulterated baking powder, his pickles soured with adulterated vinegar, his pies seasoned with adulterated spice. In fact he saw and felt the effect of adulteration which ever way he looked and never heard of these adulterators being arrested." Card Of Thanks.
