Among those firms which spring
into existence, and Immediately take
place in the front rank Of those of long
establishment, we mention the new

started in business the amount ol
patronage they have secured is simply
astonishing, bespeaking the excellent
1uality of their goods and the enter
prise and go-aheadedness of the mem
bers of the firm. Their dealings are
exclusively wholesale, handling i'm
mense quantities of grain and provis'
ions, flour, meal, etc. These are ship

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK
OF GHEENvITIF

Was established on the lst of August
1857, aud from that date has steadily
increased its business and extended its
sphere of usefulness. Ii has established
high reputation for careful and con-
servative management, and is to-day
firmly intrenched in the confidence
of the community. This Is the only
National bank between Vicksburg and
Memphis, and its reports Of condition
under oath published five or six times
year when called for by the Comp
troller of the Currency have given the
public ample opportunity TO satisfy
themselves of its strength and safety.
Our people now understand that the
double liability of shareholders furn-
lshes the most undonbted security for
deposits in National banks. Besides
making the published reports, National
banks are required at least twice a
year TO undergo an examination of
their affairs by an expert examiner
sent by the U. S. Government. lie
comes in unexpected, counts the
money, examines the books, scrutinizes
the paper III the portfolio Of bills re-
ceivable, and reports TO the depart
ment at Washington any Irregularities
or contraventions of law which he
may discover in the course Of his in
yestigations.
So careful and thorough is the su-
peryision exercised by the Government
that failure is rare occurrence and
the records show that of the more
than four thousand National banks
organized since the Inauguration of
the system some thirty years ago, less
than 8 per cent have failed, and even
these have generally paid depositors
in full.

management of that sterling gentle
man Captain John b. Scruggs, whose
able and efficient efforts have placed
the Pittsburg Coal Company in the
lead in Greenville. The coal handled
consists Of Pittsburg, Anthracite, and
Kentucky. Ii is scarcely worth while
to bestow praise upon these Goals for
nine-tenths of the people of Greenyille
and the manufactures consume them
and know their sterling worth. The
prices always range moderately, and

Seruggs has the contract for supplying

he has won for his company and
assured of continuation of the
same. Quite a steamboat business
has been worked up, and now many of
the boats arc supplied from this

vile business Is now very extensive
and growing and this year win be un-

Captain Scruggs has done.
