At a meeting of the board of diriw-

Mr. W. J. Graham, of this county, was
elected president of the company in
place of Mr. Muray, who met ^ch a
tragic death last January. This news
will be . hailed with pleasure by the
friends of the company, for Mi-. Gra
ham is recogr.ized throughout this sec

and successful fanner. His election
to the head of the company will add
prestige to the already popular insti
tution, arid give a feeling of security
that the affairs of the company -will bs
carefully safeguarded by his adminis
tration.
Mr. Graham has been a director and
stockholder of the company since its
organiEation, and he and and father
have b«h among the largest invest
ing clients of the institution since it
began business. This shows he had
faith in his company and he was not
