FAILURE OF THE NEOSHO COUNTY SAVINGS BANK. [Neosho County Record, 8.] On last Saturday, at noon, the Neosho County Savings Bank, at Osage Mission, owned and controlled by Messrs. L. H. and E. W. Bradbury, suspended. The liabilities are about $3,600, most of which are collections made by the bank. Mr. A. L. Taylor has been appointed receiver. The creditors will meet on the 1st of March, when an assignee will be appointed, and the business of the bank wound up. To be sure the amount of liabilities is small, but in some instances it wae-all the money the parties then had,and and will. of course, work a hardship with them. One case in particular is that of Mr. Deobler, who came to Erie a short time ago, deposited his money, $250, in this bank, and now suffers with the rest of the creditors.
