BANK RECEIVER RESIGNS H. Mattison, who has been the assistant receiver in charge of the Farmers State Bank at Belmont and the Cunningham State Bank at Cunningham, since those banks were closed has resigned his position and will enter business at Wichita. He said he had several propositions in view but had not definitely decided upon either of them. He was married to a popular Wichita girl last week, as announced in the Wichita papers. Mr. Mattison has made many friends at Kingman, Belmont and Cunningham during his stay in these places. He was first appointed deputy receiver for the bank at Belmont and later when the bank at Cunningham closed was put in charge of the affairs of that institution. After taking charge of the Cunningham bank Mr. Mattison made his headquarters at Cunningham but he found that he could serve both banks better by making headquarters here and maintained an office with R. L. Branden and C. C. Calkin, but would spend the first part of the week at one of the places and the latter part at the other. Mr. Mattison is succeeded by Mr. Allen, who is in charge of both the Cunningham State Bank and the Farmers State Bank. Mr. Allen is a very pleasant young man and thoroughly understands the banking business.
