The first officers of the bank were as follow : J. W. Sparks, president: C. A. Rannells, vice-president ; I. N. Lair, cashier. These three officials, with William Fife. Hugh McCoy and T. H. Bryan, constituted the first board of directors. There have been few changes either among the officials or directors since the bank was organized. nine years ago. In July 1912, William Fife succeeded C. A. Rannells as vice-president, and at the same time E. Briggs was elected on the directorate in place of Mr. Rannells. With these exceptions the officers and directors remain the same as they were upon the organization of the bank. The increasing business of the bank has made it necessary to add to the executive force, from time to time. F. M. Harlan was elected bookkeeper in March, 1909, and on July 1. 1911. was promoted to the position of teller. Since that time H. S. Smith and Della Hadley have been added as bookkeepers.

At the time the bank was organized it purchased and remodeled the building at the southeast corner of South and Locust streets. The banking rooms are on the lower floor, facing South street. the remainder of the building being rented for offices and mercantile establishments. The banking fixtures are complete in every detail and especial attention is given to women patrons. A rest room is provided for them in the rear.

The bank has enjoyed a steady growth from the beginning and. although less than ten years old, its resources amount to $750,00. The bank also has a surplus of $15,000. At the close of its first month of business ita resources amounted to $106.625.27. and this is all the more remarkable when it is taken into consideration that a little less than half the capital stock of $60.000 had been paid In. That the bank had prospered in a gratify- iux way to its stockholders is shown by the increase of its deposits from year to year. The following statements, taken in even thousands, shows the deposits and resources of the bank on August 6 of each year since it was organized :

These deposits represent more than two thousand depositors, this large number being a striking proof of the confidence which the people of the county have in the management of the bank. During the panic of 1907-08 the bank did not refuse to honor a single check presented for collection, neither of its own bank nor a check from any other bank. And the bank was less than two years old at the time and had over $200,000 on deposit. Three per cent. Interest is paid on savings accounts, and this department is increasing in importance each year. Since 1907 the bank bas kept open until eight o'clock on Saturday evening for the accommodation of its patrons and friends.

KELLEY BANK OF CLARKSVILLE.

One of the few banks of Clinton county which has been forced to suspend operations with a loss to the depositors was the Kelley private bank of Clarksville. Kelley was a merchant of the town and operated the bank in his store as a sort of a side issue. He did a large business for many years, but in the spring of 1904 he was forced to close it and the depositors had to be content with about thirty cents on the dollar. The Farmers National Bank was started in the fall of the same year and, as might be expected, the new bank had considerable trouble in getting a start. However, the organizer of the bank, I. N. Lnir, the present cashier of the Citizens National Bank of Wilmington, soon had the new bank in good condition and when he left there, at the end of twenty-two months. it was a flourishing institution and had completely won the con- fidence of the community.

Woodbury, as president, and Edwin Arthur, enshier, The present officers are as follow ; William A. Polk, president ; Frank W. Hoadley, vice-president : B. T. Penn, cashier; J. W. Peun. assistant cashier. The bank has bad only two cashiers in all of its forty-four years of history : Edwin Arthur. 1571-00; B. T. Penn, 1800 to the present time.

The average deposits of the bank amount to $200,000. The bank is now known as a "Roll of Honor Bank." for the reason that its capital of $25.000 is equalled by its surplus, a condition which speaks well for the management of the bank.

CLINTON MUTUAL INSURANCE ASSOCIATION.

The Clinton Mutual Insurance Association was organized on March 12, 1906, with the following incorporators: R. J. Lacy, E. L. Carey, Joshua Linton, Jacob B. Burst, L. W. Lacy, W. T.

T. Hempstead, A. C. Hildebrant, Darius J. Miller, John H. Hirt, J. T. Henry, W. B. Wood and T. H. McMillan.

The company, as the name indicates, is purely an assessment company and all losses are met by an assessment of the policyholders. That it has been well managed and is filling an important place in the life of the county is shown by the fact that it now has sixteen hundred and ninety-two policyholders, with total policies aggregating over two million dollars. The present officers are as follow : R. J. Incy, president; J. C. Linton, secretary ; F. D. Mitchell, treasurer.

CHAPTER XV. WOMEN'S CLUBS AND FRATERNITIES.

THE SIX-AND-TWENTY CLUB.

A number of Wilmington ladies met at the home of Mrs. George W. Wire on October 11, 1808, called together at the suggestion of the hostess and Mrs. R. C. Stumm, that a club should be organized for general literary study and the circulation of books among the members. At this meeting Mrs. Stumm was elected president; Minnie Farren, secretary ; Mrs. J. M. Moore, first vice-president ; Grace D. Browning, second vice-presi- dent; Mrs. G. W. Wire, treasurer. The plan of work adopted at that time has been changed but little during the seventeen pleasant years the club has worked together, and it is a remarkable fact that more than half the present members were present at its birth.

The first regular meeting was held on October 28, 1808, at the Browning home two weeks after the organization. Ellen H. Smith was a guest of the hostess, and, after a somewhat hented discussion as to a suitable name for the club. Miss Smith suggested "The Six-and-Twenty," that number having been decided as the limit of membership. The name was instantly adopted and Miss Smith made an honorary member. The following is the roll for the first year: Marshie Austin, Grace D. Browning ( Mrs. R. T. Ballard), Mrs. F. D. Blair, Mrs. T. M. Burnett, Mrs. Bishop Dickinson, Minnie Farren, Henrietta Gardner, Mrs. H. H. Hague, Mrs. W. F. Hains, Mrs. C. Q. Hildebrant, Mrs. F. S. LaMar, Mrs. R. J. Lacy, Mra. L. W. Lacy, Mrs. Susie R. Mory, Mrs. J. M. Moore, Mrs. F. S. Mills, Jesse Owens ( Mrs. J. F. Orebaugh), Mrs. R. C. Stumm, Mrs. W. W. Savage, Mrs. C. W. Swaim, Emma M. Browning, Tacy Walker (Mrs. Austin Robinson). Wilmina Walker (Mrs. J. S. Kimbrough), Mrs. Charles Welch, Mrs. George W. Wire, Mrs. J. W. Sparks and Ellen H. Smith,

The Six-and-Twenty, while organized as a means of literary culture, has emphasized the social side of life. After the program is completed an hour is spent in conversation during the informal teas that it is the custom of the members to serve as they become hostesses in succession. The program consists of the usual business-calling of the roll, reading of minutes, report of committees, etc .. which usually is followed by a paper on the author and book assigned by lot to members at the annual business meeting. This is followed by a general discussion of the book by the club, and, while the utmost freedom of individual opinion is maintained, the esprit de corps of the club Is one of Its most delightful features. A leader of current events calls the attention of the members to the important questions of the day, and the members are again permitted a free dis- cussion of subjects. At roll call it Is expected that quotations will be given. The program Is simetimes slightly changed, lenders preparing papers on other subjects when the author has previously been before the club. Each member pays yearly dues, which cover the cost of books and running expenses. At the Clinton county centennial home-coming in August. 1910, the Six-and-Twenty Club was awarded the first prize of seventy-five dollars for the most beautiful float in the civic parade, and this sum is a nest egg for the future good of the community.

The members of the club for 1915 are as follow, dxteen of the names appearing in

230

CLINTON COUNTY, OHIO.

the original list : Mrs. Susle R. Mory, Marshie Austin, Mrs. W. W. Suvage, Mrs. A. E. Browning, Mrs. R. J. Lacy, Mrs. R. B. Peelle, Mirs. R. C. Stumm, Mrs. Katherine D. Williams, Mrs. W. R. Hale, Mra. C. Q. Hildebrant, Mrs. C. W. Swaim, Minnie Farren, Mrs. T. M. Burnett, Mrs. J. M. Kimbrough, Ellen H. Smith, Mrs. R. T. Ballard, Mrs. C. C. Nichols, Dr. Elizabeth Schrieves, Mrs. W. F. Hains, Mrs. F. L. Miller, Mrs. J. M. Moore, Mrs. C. R. Burns, Mrs. L. W. Lacy, Mrs. J. E. Orebaugh, Mrs. Walter G. Fisher, Mrs. M. J. Farquhar.

In all the years of its existence the club has lost but two members by death-Olive Linton Welch (1912) and Mary Lacy Wire (1914), and they are held In loving memory. To the Six-and-Twenty the members bring their best intellectual gifts and their warmest feulty, feeling that it is good to be there at every meeting. Incidentally, they feel that the club has meant a good deal to the community in the five hundred (approximately) carefully selected books that they have presented through the years to the Wilmington library.

THE WILMINGTON WOMAN'S CIVIC LEAGUE.

The Civle League, a group of women Imbued with the thought of the betterment of municipal conditions in Wilmington, has been the outgrowth of an idea first suggested by Mrs. Katherine Denver Williams, who has been president since the organization of the league. On March 17, 1911, a joint meeting of representatives of the three literary clubs -- the Six-and-Twenty, the Conversation and the Progress-was held at the home of Mrs. E. J.
