OPEKA PLAINDEALER Manager Griffin Contin His Junket Among the Prosperity Builders in the New State. OKMULGEE STATE BANK, OF OKMULGEE, OKLA. It would be astonishing to the casual visitor to Okmulgee to note the amount of business done with the farmers in and around this rich and resourceful section, with its oil fields, in vast areas; its immense pastures of live stock, of all grazes and descriptions; coal fields and the many other smaller and lesser conditions that make this section great in those things which produce great wealth. There are a few banks which attend the needs of the better class of farmers, those who appreciate a credit, and have enough regard for their standing in a community to protect it. In this particular line the Okmulgee State Bank has built a nice business with the farmers, in and around Okmulgee, and their services to the farmers in the past have made them the bank of the people. There are many people in Okmulgee who have been assisted, in a financial way, by this institution, at a time when they needed help, through the good offices of this institution, at an apportune time, have become men of means and are today among the prominent men of the county. This class of people will attest the fact that the Okmulgee State Bank has been of most valuable service to the farmers generally. This bank has a capital stock of $70,000 and is protected under the state guarantee law of the state of Oklahoma. The officers are men who are well known to the people, as being able to attend to business for themselves, in a way that brings results. Mr. J. A. Price, the president, came to Okmulgee ab in six years ago, and engaged in the hard wage business, which he conducted successfully until he assumed the presidency of the bank. Mr. W. R. Alexander, a gentleman commonly fitted for the old he holds, by an acquaintance with affairs in general growing out of an association during the past five years in the real estate and banking business in Okmulgee. This bank has a large chantle among the negroes of Okmulgee county. THE PARKINSON-TRENT MERCAN TILE CO,OKMULGEE'S BIG DEPARTMENT STORE. The Pukinson Trent Mercantile Co. of Okmulgee, is one of the landmarks on the Creek Nation, and the state of Oklahoma. The present department store is the consummation of a great business growing out of a small trading store, established nearly a half century ago, marking the first outposts of a young man who came into the wild and woolly West to found his fortune, very blazing the trail of civilization into what is now one of the very great states of the Union. Looking back, from a to-day point of view, it was a great achievement, small as it was in the beginning. In a brief way this was the beginning of the business career of Mr. Jas Pukinson, the founder of the Pukinson Trent Mercantile Co. In the early days of the Creek Nation, this store was the great trading point for the Indians and the only settlers. In fact, this has always been a great store, and the pleasant memories of early day association with the men who have made this store greater are within the hearts of hosts of the old times, many of whom have become great men, in various avenues of life in the great and growing Southwest. Through the friendly offices of this house a number of negroes have been able to find farms in this part of the state and live upon them, until immigration came to make the markets of the present time. No better evidence could be given to prove the methods by which this house has succeeded than the fact that upon their books, at this time, are the names of men who have been constant customers of this house for more than twenty years and who continue to trade with TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, DEC 23, 1910. them in spite of every influence offered them by other houses. Mr. J. C Tint, the president and general manager of this company, has been a resident of this stet during the past 32 years and his acquaintance among the people with whom he has had dealings especially fits him for the position he holds. He is a pleasant gentleman to meet, easy to approach and is one of Okmulgee's strongest boosters. OKLAHOMA STATE BANK, OF SAPULPA. The Oklahoma State Bank is one of the strong banks of the city of Napulpa and Creek county, with a capital stock of $27,000, and deposits and loan amounting to $50,000,00. The active management of this bank is in the hands of Mr. A. P. Crawford, who during the past nine years has been connected with the Farmers and Merchants Bank, of Napulpa. During the nine years experience with the above named bank, Mr. Crawford has made many friends, some of whom he will carry with him to his new institution. Mr. Crawford has just recently taken charge of the affairs of this bank, during the past thirty days, and it is his intention to make this on of the very prominent institutions of this section, by giving to the institution the advantages his years of experience in the business, in Napulpa warrants, which fact alone speaks volumes for the future policy of this bank. The deposits of this bank are simply protected by the laws of the state of Oklahoma, and those who have money to place in the bank, for safe keeping or on time deposits will make no mistake in doing business with the Oklahoma State Bank. In their policy to the farmers, they feel especially favorable to that class of farmers who appreciate a line of credit extended them, and in their dealings with them will extend to them every country in keeping with a conservative banking business. The Oklahoma State Bank is the people's bank and here the people will find every all vintage offered by any other bank in the state, and a safe institution with which to do business along lines of banking. The officers of this bank are as follows M. Jones, President; John P. Egun, Vice President; A. P. Crawford, Cushion; R. L. Jones, Assistant Cashier. Directors: A. J. Jones, M. ones, R. L. Jones, and A. P. Crawford. FARMERS AND MERCHANTS BANK OF SAPULPA, OKLA. The Pamers and Merchants Bank, on Sapulpa, is one of the strong institutions of this section of the state and among the very strong booster for the city on Sapulpa and Creek county. The gentlemen who are at the head of this bank have been active in all the all this which have gone to make Sapulpa one of the great spots upon the map, and their efforts have been downsized by the root that this bank, the oldest bank in the county, enjoys the good will of the entire community and a business which is growing with the age of the institution. This bank perhaps has a larger share among the negroes of the county than any other bank in this section. Those who have had challenges with the bank speak in the highest terms of the treatment received and continue to hold their business with this institution. We have talked with some of the negroes who have done business with these gentlemen and they all speak in the highest terms of the good feeling shown them, especially by the cashier, Mr. B. H. Burnett, who seems to be a general favorite with the people of all classes in Sampla and Creek county. Mr. Burnett, the cashier of this bank, is also the president of "The Glenpool Route," the Sapulpa and Interurban Railway Co. of Sapulpa, one of the big things of this section of the country connecting, as it does, the city of Sapulpa with the famous Glenpool, the greatest oil fields in the world. Mr. Burnett is one of the great men of Sapulpa, always ready to assist in a worthy cause, charitable, commercial or otherwise and the city of Napulpa, in the hands of such men as Mr. Burnett, is sure to grow and make its way to a rank amongst the cities of the great and growing Southwest. The Farmers and Merchants Bank, under the management of efficient officers, is one of the strongest banks in the state and those who have business to attend through the banks of Napulpa will make no mistake when they turn their attention to the Farmers and Merchants UNION HARDWARE COMPANY. Among the leasing dealers in hud- wate, pumps, windmills, corrugated iron and roofing, in the city of Sequlp, is the firm of the Union Hardware Comp- pany, now located in the Waggoner building, North Water street. This house does a wholesale and retail business and carries a stock that will meet the requ- mements of all demands in their line. The proprietor, Mr. P. E. Gates, is a very pleasant gentleman to meet and appointed the large trade he has built, turing the period of his business in Sequlp, which has grown to the extent that he has been compelled to move his business from the old stock to the present enlarged and more convenient pu- tteries in the Waggoner building, where he has a show room that will enable him to place his supernine line of goods where the public may be able to discom- mish between hardware generally and that class or goods that carries quality above all other considerations.

THE GRLEN CASE. A jury in the district court awarded $5,500 damages to a Chicago woman against Ex-Mayor William Green of this city for alleged breach of promise or marriage. She was employed as cashier in the store, as cashier, being distantly related to the family, and having been given the job by the ex-mayor's son. She proved to be incompetent, resign her position, wen. back to Chicago and threatened Mr. Green with a suit unless he came across. He re fused, and the suit was brought, Her defense was that her niece came to her room and made improper suggestions to her in which she yielded; that she suffered mental and physical agony, therefore asked for the above named amount. She had no letters to show any such intentions on Mr. Green's part, nor any proof that he showed any affection toward her only as an uncle. She stayed at the Green home, and when she left the family saw her to the train and not one word of complaint did she utter as to mistreatment. Yet, upon the pretext of a letter from which she and her lady companion quoted and which was not in evidence, purporting something to prove her case, and her own story of her stay in Popoka is what the jury gave their votes upon. Mr. Green is only seven years of age and the woman is very. Who holds that I was in love with him? I do as well like a hold up. It looks so soft all of the many business men with whom we have conversed are the verdict who routinely has been making changes our for an old man we want to talk to a woman we want to an endavor being on to speak in some strange or strange to get his money. There is so much of this going, and a stoil should be put to it. Hands on company with her for any length of time and exchanged love letters showing his intentions, and she depended upon that, there would have been extenuating circumstances. She had neither letters nor proof of any kind. It is becoming too easy to find jurors who will give away money earned and saved by long self denial and hard labor. If one side is poor and the latter industrious so room they apply the old adage, "From him that hath it shall be taken away and given to him that won't work or save what they get." Mr. Green is unfortunate in having something. If he was shattered and had nothing this woman would not have opened her. No one would have known about the physical abuse about which he complains so much. The "two Jim" order at 410 Krahn avenue is at a standstill since we have opened the eyes of the people; pickings are not so good. Why don't they publish the financial standing of the wild cat company in the official organ? They send out circulars to a few people whom they can fool, telling about what they intend to do. Look out for little Jim. He is the whole show. ABILENE NEWS. Fred Helm has returned from Washburn college to spend Xmas with his mother.
