F. O’Donnell. When Mr. O’Don nell took the position of cashier of the bank on June 11, 1908, the total footings amounted to only $38,154.22; or deposits of only $13,154.22, after an existence as a bank of two years During the five and half months Cashier O’Donnell has been at the helm the total footings have increased to $69,273.02, and the deposits have increased to $41,155.66. This is cer tainly a splendid record to be made in the short period in which he has had control and one that should be highly gratifying to Mr. O’Donnell and his many friends. O. M. Collins, who from 1893 to 1897 was deputy clerk of the district court of this county under Clerk SkirvSng, died at the hospital for the insane at Nevada, Mo., on Nov. 23, 1908, at the age of 44 years and 7 months.
