Sherman County State Bank (Goodland, KS)

Article Text

The Sherman County bank will reorganize in January. This bank was the first one established in the county and of the ten banks that have done business in the connty, is the only one remaining. Through panic and crop failures this bank has promptly met all its obligations, and this fact alone speaks volumes for its management. During the panic and crop failures the bank has necessarily accumulated more or less bad or doubtful paper. This the management have decided to throw out and reorganize the bank with clean and undoubtee assets, and with a cash reserve large enough to do a safe and profitable business.

The county has a deposit $23,000 and Goodland City $5,000 in the bank. This bank held deposits of many railroad men who run into this place. Many of them think they will get their money back. M. B. Tomblin, irrigation commissioner, was the bank's president. -It would be as easy to find a christian in the Fiji Islands as to find an honest free coinage republican politician in the state of Kansas.-Beloit Call. If the Call had said it would be as easy to find a christian among Pop politicians it would have sounded much less ridiculous.-Kirwin Globe. What is the matter with Congressman Baker, Messrs Arnold, Johnson, Smith, Wagoner, Utter, and Baker? These men, though pop politicians. are all regular attendants at church, and all try at least to lead christian lives. Better let men's religion alone. though you don't like their politics, Sandy. -Inquiry has been made regarding the naming of Phillips county and Phillipsburg. Hon. John Bissell is authority for the statement that the name Phillips is that of a soldier who was killed by the Indians years ago, within the confines of what is now our county. Phillipsburg was named after Hon. W. A. Phillips, a congressman of olden time, and who sided with the people in the vicinity in their fight with Kirwin over the location of the county seat. At that time no buildings were in sight for the present town site. Other counties were named in honor of soldiers killed in warfare with Indians, Rooks and Osborne being of the number. -The Conn Bros. had their preiminary trial at Colorado Springs. Friday last, and were bound over to the May term of the district court. Their troubles grew out of a diamond transaction. In December a Chicago firm took their show cases and a portion of their stock for debt; this caused a scare among other creditors, a Denver firm getting in first took the remainder of the goods, among which were abont a thousand dollars worth of diamonds, belonging to a Kansas City house that the boys were holding on consignment. Soon after, J. A. Conn went to Cameron, Mo., where he was. arrested for embezzlement as bailee and taken to Colorado Springs. M. A. Conn came home where he W88 arrested. The boys are out on $700 bail each, and but confident of getting clear of this charge. Public sympathy here is with them, and everybody looks for their release.
