Tn n prospcrous Cond,t,ou,

The following circular has been Issued
by the Equitable announcing subscription
open for the 10Th issue Of stock. The tig-
ures given show large transactions to date
and the affairs OF the association In o pros
porous condition:
EQUITABLE G. B. ASSOCIATION,
OFFICE, gl7 +. STREET,
WAsn1NdToN, d. c., Oct. Z, 1856.
To The Stockholders.
Your attention is again called to new
issue Of stock (the 12th), for which sub
scription and payments viii be received on
and after October 4 1886
The Equitable is now near the end OF its
seventh year. In the past eighty-three
months the receipts have been 81, 175, 7l0H,
or an average OF 26,2l33S monthly, and
an average monthly receipt since the last
annual report Of l,s9D.S0. Advances or
loans have been made during the same
assets of the association are now
SCol ,Ss3.G7, Including advances held by the
shareholders, for which the association
holds first mortgages upon their property,
valued by our assessors ut over 81 ,5iO,OOO.
The Equitable has foreclosed but one mort
gage, and then realized tho amount due In
full. These large sums represent the re-
suit Of regular monthly savings OF small
amounts by the shareholders, and is q
strong showing in favor of the advan-
tages and safety Of our association as q
purely cooperative, saving and loaning In
stitution. II also proves that the Equitable
is established upon sound financial and con-
servative business principles.
1t is suggested that you will interest
others to become members, and thus still
further extend and increase the benefits and
success Of the association.

SIIORT-LIVED HONORS.
A man Who was United States Senator
for Sixty Seconds.

The Atlanta Constitution had WIS.,
itor the other day who was United
States Senator once for exactly one
minute. 1t happened this way: In 1874
the Florida Legislature was Republican
by one majority. Gov. Walker was the
Democratic candidate for Senator. Az
ter tedious balloting, a Republican
member from Tallahassee, named
Avery, voted Walker" Thiselected
him. When the ballot was closed the
crowd became wild with enthusiasm.
The cheering, which lasted fully q
minute, prevented the chairman from
announcing the vote. In the mean,
time the Republicans had surrounded
Avery, and he soon declared that he
had not voted for Governor Walker,
but for Sam Walker, small Repub.
lican politician about town. This left
Governor Walker one short of an clec.
ton. Finally, Mr.. Jones, the present
Senator, was put up, captured the
needed vote and was electel.
