DOUGLAS COUNTY BANK.
There is perhaps no feature of the
business interests of any community
of more actual necessity, of more vital
importance under The present advanced
state of civilization and commercial
progress, than the banking establish
ment Each person In the community
cannot provide himself with a firc-proof
place of safety for his earnings and
what other cash he may possess and if
he could, il would he a needless expcn-
dituro of money to do SO when one or
two such places Of safety will suffice
for all in the neighborhood, Again,
the convenience of exchange is Il mat
ter highly appreciated by the mer-
chants and others who have to make
payments to distant parties. Rose
burg long felt the want of such an in
stitution before the matter was taier
in hand by Messrs Humphrey & Flint
who organized and established tie bank
named at the head of this notice Fo,
the benefit of depositors we will STATE
that the proprietors of the bank here
are old citizens for young men, viii
established regulations for honor ant
financial responsibility. The Dougla
County Bank sells exchange, make
collections and does general banking
business. It is located on jackson
street and is open during the usua
banking hours.
