Lexington weekly intelligencer. (Lexington, Mo.) 1871-1887, 1878-01-12

An alarm of irs Was sounded last Tuesday. !
sseEing, the cause OF which WAS the burn
ing OF an clubhouse at the residence OF Mr..
Jos. l.. Thomas, near this city
Miss Boyakin's reply to n card rendering
her . benefit, which we print elsewhere,
came In al so late an hour As to prevent us
the m,tter. Miss Boyakin richly deserves
this compliment, and We hope that the good
people Of Lexington will turn out in large
numbers to show their appreciation OF her
accommodating spirit in assisting at SO many
OF our musical entertainments IN the past.
We print elsewhere the official statement
OF the condition OF the Auli savings Bank.
on the tweniy-ninth day OF December, 1871.
This bank is one OF the solid institutions OF
our county. 1t is conducted by gentlsmen
Of liberal views, and is deServedIy popular. |
1t will be seen that the assets OF the bank are
~. ,6oS -. and that II makes \ good show
Ing under The stringent requirements Of the
nav law. A critical examination of the
statement will only the more convince Que
that the bank is carefully, judiclousIy and
safely conducted.
The official statement of the condition OF
the Lexington Saving. Bauk. Of this city,
appears n another column. This bank Is
conducted with distinguished ability and
care, and, as its statement exhibits. does y
very large business. Its resources are $780,
7S5 80, and II makes u clear showing ali Inc
way through. BY CHANGING through the
Items. As set out, II will be seen that the re-
guiremcnts OF the new law are searching.

dition. As = further evidence Of prosperity
We may mention the fact that this bank has
declared a dividend OF eight per cent. OH the
whole amount OF its stock, tor the last six
months. and seventeen, per cent. for the year
1877. This IS u very handsome showing,
when 1t Is remembered that the paid up
stock Is only $4,000. the entire stock being
SJn. 900. The banks own statement speaks
more than we can say IN Its behalf. Few
country banks enjoy surh = degree Of pros

By invitation OF Mr.. VIM. Boothmsn, the
artist, we were present one night last week,
