THIS WORLD HAS BEEN DIVIDED
Ami sub-divided the people of the
world have been divided and sub-divided
the sub-divisions are endless.
Suppose we divided the people
into three classes. The very rich,
who can afford to spend their in
come; the very poor, who have to
spend theirs. Then there is the
third class the saving class, who
start saving their money and keep
it up continually. They never
stop. The habit is formed early
in life and they can't "swear off."
The saving habit is the means to
happiness and contentment.
This bank offers the opportunity for
every man to save his money. No one
can afford to let the chance escape.

Members of Cass County Bar Honor De
parted Brother A, J. 6raves.
In the district court room this
morning, the contentions and litiga
tions occupying the attention or the
court were laid aside for several hours,
In order to honor the memory of the
late A. J. Graves. All the members
of the Cass county bar association,
with the exception of three were
present to pay tribute to the members
who have passed to the Great Beyond
where he sleeps the - rest, that knows
no awakening.
A Tribute.
"To tlii I'nst iro more dead faoe,
Kvery year:
As tin- loveil Ii'bto vacant l:m,
4 Kvi-ry year:
f.very where I lit' sail eyes meet us:
In the evenlnif's dusk tlii'y ifi-eet us.
And tnrnine to tin-in entreat as,
Kvi-ry year."
It is not now, It Is not strange that
death should visit another home and
take therefrom the husband and fath
er, and the friend of all those who
knew him, and yet It does not dimin
ish the loss we feel and which his home
has sustained.
The life of our fellow laborer, Mr.
A. J. Graves, as he lived it among us,
was pure and clean and his inlluence
In the community at all times whole
some. As a public servant he served
with fidelity; as a citizen he was never
tainted with graft or dishonesty; as an
attorney he was true to bis clients; as
a father, actuated by good Judgment,
he taught bis children the best citi
zenship; as a husband he was devoted
and kind.
While physically weak for many
years, he was always strong enough,
true enough and courageous enough to
do the right.
Peath, which must come to each of
us, has come to him and he sleeps.
To Him, who cares for the sparrow
when it falls, we commend the soul of
the departed and the lives of those
who remain.
