Lamb, Established in 1869 Is Closed on Court Orders. HAS A CLEAR VISION A correspondent in one or our county exchanges sounded the key note when he said that the Fourth of July celebration at the county seat which brought together people from all over the county, should be the beginning of a plan that would mean much toward cementing the friend ship of the people of the entire coun ty. The Courier believes that the cor respondent was on the right track Local selfishness shows narrowness of mind. Cass county is one of the richest agricultural counties in the state. Her people are prosperous and happy. The wheat crop now being harvested is turning out far in ex cess of what was expected and corn is looking good. ' Potatoes are large and plentiful and the fruit crop will be the largest in years. All this is productive of a spirit of happiness and prosperity.

To' be sure, some of the depositors will be handicapped by having their de posits tied up, but in most cases they have been able to make arrange ments to tide over without great in convenience. The closing of the bank came as a surprise to the general public. Of course those familiar with court pro cedure might have anticipated the action, but if they did it was never generally discussed. The bank was one of our oldest institutions, having been established by J. V. Hinchman in 1S69, and at his death in 1902 turned over to the late Mr. Lamb. Since Mr. Lamb's death it has been conducted by Earl Herrick (executor with Mrs. Lamb of the estate) and Wm. Lamb, Jr. In all these years it has enjoyed the fullest confidence of the entire com munity, and it is hoped that prompt; realization on asseta will hasten the time when it can be reopened.
