Shall We Have { Bank.

Editor Home journal;
When we take Il look at the business
of Franklin county, and compare it with
the past, we must admit that we are
moving forward-not us rapidly, per-
ha2s, as some other counties, but en-
phaticallv forward. We are mauuiac-
turing more articles Of various kinds,
raising more produce, selling more
goods. Our schools are increasing i'll
the number of students, and we have
more visitors from abroad. The prices
of farms are gradually rising, and IL de-
mand for land begins to manifest itself.
We thus seem to have arrived ut Il
point of prosperity where It is necessary
to look around us and see if there is any
way that our business interests can he
helped along by any other means than
those now at hand, and We arrive at
the conclusion that the time has come
when it would not only be profitable
but quite necessary to have Il Bank in
Winchester.
Some say that there is not capital
enough here to be had, but We believe
that is quite mistake and it would be
so much more acceptable to the people
to know that their local finances would
be in the hands of men whose integrity
has stood the test Of years, and who
have the confidence of every person Ill
the county. We need not name these
pcrsons-tlxy are known to everybody
and il is believed they will be equal td
the demand of the hour, and provide
for the future wcll-bcing of all our in
dustries which are destined to arise and
profit by it
Others say that there is more money
in discountng and shaving outstanding
obligations. That may be true; but Nc
country or community was ever Gle
waited or advanced in the way.of com
mccall greatness by means of pawn
shops or Shylock practices 1t is better
to do business like business men-a fair
square, honest and living banking bust
ness trusted and honored among men.
1t requires no business man to fore
cast that if our citizens do not sool
mass their capita! and start banl
here that there is capital waiting onl,
an invitation to come and pluck tn
golden acccc. Very respectfully,
