with a capital of S671, 900, will COM
mence business on the first of Septem-
Der at the Office of the Peoples Insu-
rance Company, OF Madison street,
where ii Will be located until the COM
pletiOn of the handsome Bank Build
ing,' now under construction, and
owned by Col. w. B. GreenlaW. Mr..
w. NJ. harrington, the President, is
one of our shrewdest, most response
BILE and reliable merchants; is known
everywhere in the surrounding cOun-
try, and enjoys the confidence Of the
community. Mr.. Williamson, of
Somerville, Is Viee-President. He
was formerly President OF the Branch
Bank of Tennessee at SOmerVille, is
wealthy, intelligent and reliable, and
during his life has stood high with his
neighbOTs. He brings to the support
of the Bank, as does Gen. Nathan
Adams, one of the Directors, the sup
port Ofthe farming population Of the
counties contiguous TO Memphis. He
is a decided acquisition to the Bank.
So is Mr.. Reed, the Cashier. He has
been known to this business COM
munity for many years, and
whether as bOOkkeepeT for one of
the most successful firms that
Memphis has ever known, or as
partner of the great house of Howell,
Wood d Reed, or as Secretary Of the
Peoples Insurance Company, he has
always been successful, has always
given satisfaction and has always
proven himself a man of capacity, in
tegrity and promptness. j. A. ON
berg, the teller, is admittedly the best
man for that position that Memphis
can afford. He is young, but has had
a great deal OF experience, sutficienttO
warrant US in the broad statement as
to his efficiency which we have made.
His integrity IS equal to his efficiency,
and for intelligence we do not know q
young man in the city his SUI
periOr. We have known him long
and intimately, and earnestly endorse
him TO the bank and the public. Mr..
Louis Czapski is TO be general book
keeper, a position for which his abili-
ties eminently qualify him. Mr..
CZapski has been a citizen
Of Memphis for the past nine
years and during that time
has won to himself hosts
of friends who have watched his ca
reer and reioiced over his successes.
He is characterised by great energy,
close attention to business, accuracy
in the details of hank bookkeeping,
is very rapid in the performance of
his work, but thorough, and takes
rank as a fine mathematician. We
have known him during his residence
here, and have always esteemed him
as g neighhOr and friend, as well As
for the qualifications that have secured
him position in an institution where
none but the best are needed. We
congratulate friend Louis" The
next in rank, but by no means the
least Of the list of officers of the
Union and Planters Bank, comes Mr.,
James McRae, formerly connected
with the Bank of Tennessee, and re-
garded most favorably by the mercan-
tile community and banking frater-
nifty especially. He takes the position
of individual bOOk-keeper, one of the
most responsible connected with
the institution. He is admirably
adapted for it, by his knswE-
edge Of the community, espeei-
ally those members of il likely
to do business with the bank and will
bring to the complete picturing Of
every days business, and every us
TONER'S account the utmQSt accuracy
and fidelity. We cordially eOngratu-
late him and the bank upon securing
his services.
The Union and Planters Bank COM
mences business under the most favcr-
able, we might say t.atteFing auspices.
With a subscribed capital of $67l 900
to be increased, doubtless, to q 81 ,00Q,-
600, and such directors as these, there
can be little doubt that it will be one of
the grandest successes eyer attempted
III the bsuhiHg line in Memphis.

This Institution will be Of the great
est possible benefit to our city and
Is demanded by the business COM
mqnity. 1t Will afford a monetary
relief much needed and we hope will
be conducted upon so liberal a scale as
to conduce altogether to that end.
