One hundred and twenty-two depositors of the defunct Abilene State bank will have special reason for the observance of Thanksgiving day this year on the account of the pay ment of their claims, aggregating a trifle over $30,000, which has just been ordered to be made from the state bank guaranty fund. This is the first payment to be made from that fund which was created to provide against losses on the part of depositors in banks which go under in Kansas. The hank guaranty law was passed in 1909, about a year before the Abilene institution closed its doors as a consequence of the irregularities of Cashier John A. Flack, who is now in the Kansa9 penitentiary.

The unpaid deposits with interest will be returned to depositors at once, the formalities of closing I the institution's business having all been disposed of. The work of checking claims and making payments from funds of the guaranty fund is now occupying State Bank Commissioner Charles M. Sawyer.

"The Kansas Liar" is charged with keeping this state from receiving any of the sixty or seventy millions of dollars that are spent on private educational institutions by wealthy givers of the east, in a letter just written by George V. Martin, secretary of the State Historical Society, to the superintendent of public instruction. Friends of Mr. Martin, who is a veteran Kansas editor, will be pleased to learn that his health, which has been frail for months, is far enough restored to enable him to take his accustomed interest in what is gring on in Kansas. Secretary Martin says that one result of the continuous bragging about Kansas is that the people back east think this state has more money than it knows what to do with and they are reluctant to give anything to the private schools in the state, which are always in need of help.

Even Nebraska, he says, gets a lot where Kansas gets nothing. Methodist Church This Sunday evening is preaching time in Scammon. The service will be evangelistic. We are much encouraged by the number that have lately enquired the way of salvation. Come and help us save souls.

On Wednesday evening of next week we will have with us Mr. Marsh of Pittsburg. He is one of the leading laymen of our church in this part of the state. He will speak upon the men's movement, and tell us some of the things that he heard at the great convention at Indianapolis lately. Be sure to hear him.

The Sunday Schools both at Mineral and Scammon are on the boom. Last Sunday the Mineral sdhool had present 119 and Soammon over 100.

You are also invited invited to come with your children.
