Merchants and Farmers Bank originated in Dumas, Arkansas in 1909. The Bryant, Arkansas office came to life in 2011. . Every year since this location opened, it has exceeded expectations. In 2015 alone, the bank’s full service location added mobile deposit as well as instant issue debit cards. These services will continue in 2016In 2016, the bank expects loan volume to increase in the Benton/Bryant area. It doesn’t stop there. In 2016, the Bryant loan office will be converted to a full service branch. The bank also hopes that deposits will increase when the office coverts to a full service branch. Construction of a brand new facility will also take place in 2016. While the Bryant location only has three employees, the office is supported by the Dumas branch that employs thirty-two employees. In the community, Merchants and Farmers Bank and staff are active in both Bryant and Benton Chambers of Commerce and they sponsor/donate to quite a few charitable fundraisers every year. “Saline County is a great place to do business. We love working here,” states Mr. Adcock, the bank’s chairman and CFO. Other employees include Page Gill, AVP and loan officer; and Shirley Pickens, administrative assistant.
I just recently finished "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. I had no idea what this novel was going to be about going into it; all I knew was that our 10th grade English class study it. Right off the bat I noticed that our narrator was not your average Joe. The narrator is death. When I realized this I said to myself, "Oh this is going to be good." The novel is all about the Holocaust and it is shown from a German point of view. Leisel Meminger's mother gives her away to a foster German family. On the trip to this new family, Leisel's brother dies. So right from the start death is there. I'm not going to give you a synopsis of it, because I think you should read it for yourself. Just know that a German family hides a Jew in their basement for a while, and death is around every corner. That last line of the novel really got me though..."I am haunted by humans."
