BANK SUSPENDED. The Farmers' Bank of Laddonia in the Hands of a Receiver. The Farmers' Bank at Laddonia, Mo., has been placed in the hands of a receiver under the new State law. This bank had a capital stock of $20,000, half paid up. Hugh;Logan,a thorough, straightforward business man, was cashier and the stockholders were composed of some of Audrain county's most prominent farmers. The reason for placing the bank in the hands of a receiver was on account of it not complying with some of the requirements of the State law. None of the depositors will lose a cent. ExCircuit Clerk Ben C. Johnson is the receiver and promptly gave a $40,000 bond this morning and went to Laddonia to take charge. He is in every way well qualified for such an important position and the affairs of the bank will be wound up in a prompt, honest and business like manner. The law requires that when one half of the capital stock of the bank is paid in it shall be paid in cash and the LEDGER is informed that this point was violated by the Farmers' Bank. A portion of the stock was paid in notes instead of cash, which was not in compliance with the law.
