The failure of the Maverick Nation
al Bank in Boston creates considerable
excitement and talk throughout New
England Barton National bank did
its Boston business in the Maverick
and was inconvenience for day or
two after the Boston institution closed
it's doors. Fortunately this bank had
a much smaller deposit in that bank
than usual and does not suffer to any
great extent by the locking up of its
deposit till such time as the affairs of
the Maverick are Strengthened out.

this bank will be small, if anything.
