Fort Valley Mirror: The organizing of
the Exchange Bank last week suggests
Fort Valleys first chartered bank-"The
Planters and the great loss that well
nigh nipped 1t in the bud just as it was
starting in business. Five genteel-looking
burglars lay around Fort Valley for several
days before the robbery and learned pretty
thoroughly the location of things in the
new bank The bank was then IN the rear
p rtion of the storeroom occupied at present
by o. M. Houser 81 Co. One morniug Mr.
| w. e. Brown, the cashier found his safe
The burglars had got away with the
banks capital, and it was bank in nams
only that mornlng. The president, Col w.
j. Anderson, came upon the scene later
and then the directors, and CONSERVATION
ruled supreme. kilograms were sent to ali
the large cities Finally clues were obtained,
| and dete ttives in Baltimore had four men
arrested for the burglary. Col. Anderso
went on, but before he had arrived the
detectives had compromised the matter
with the burglars, letting them off If
they would return ABOUT 81, 900 Of the
money, which the burglars did But the
trouble was not over, for the detectives
had to be settled with, and they demanded
one-third for their services. Much a. the
colonel hated to do so, he was forced to
agree to the terms, and the detectives
counted him out the money. The colone
says he recognized the money as the ident-
ical packages left in the bank safe 70 night
of the robbery. There we're the private
marks on The packages. Soon after this the
bank moved into its permanent quarters
the house now occupied by w r. Brown
and never suffered any further robberies.
