Description

Newspaper items state the Bank of Mineral Springs was suspended and a receiver (T. J. Dillard) was administering it (Aug 1921). By May 27, 1922 a court order permitted the receiver to liquidate and pay depositors 100%, indicating permanent closure via liquidation. No run is described; problems appear bank-specific (investigation of accounts, possible misdeeds). OCR corrected minor typos (e.g., 'attorney' spellings) but did not change substance.

Feazel of Nashville, at attorney for the institution by the appointment of A. D. DuLaney of Ashdown. Mr. DuLaney made his first visit to this city Saturday in his new capacity Saurday. It is stated by Mr. Dillard that after a conference with Mr. DuLaney it was decided to employ a certified accountant to make a thorough audit of the accounts of the bank, covering a period of several years, and that such a person has been arranged for. Mr. Dillard stated that this would entail a considerable expense, but that it seems to be the only way to arrive at the true condition of the institution, and to place responsibility for misdeeds if any have been commited.

Mineral- Springs Bank to Pay all Creditors Hon. A. D. DuLaney, atorney for the State Banking Department in the matter of the defunct Bank of Mineral Springs, stated Friday that Judge Shaver had QR Thursday issued an order permitting the receiver to pay off all the depositors and to liquidate at once all the liabilities of that institution. All will be paid the full 100 per cent. Mr. DuLaney has been interested for several months in assisting in the collection of accounts due the bank. He stated that the liquidation at this time was due to the fact that the Dillard and Kent interests, who were stockholders, had mortgaged all their property that the full amount might be raised and settled up.
