Pursuant to the proclamations by
the President of the United States
and the Governor of North Carroll
ma, Thursday was pretty generally
observed in this city as legal holi-
day and day of thanksgiving. The
banks and government Offices were
closed as were many of the business
houses and despite the inclement
weather it was altogether festive
day. Thanksgiving Day is usually
regarded as New England institu-
ton, but its entire fitness as day of
feast as well as thanksgiving is now
recognized in every section of the
country-in the South as we'll as in
the North. In Winsfon-Salem, yes
terday, mar ' of our.people, with due
regard to moderateness, of course,
partook of the great bird of the re-
public, well Drowned by skillful Car
olina cooks and stuffed and hanked
by other delicacies produced by the
land and waters of our native State;
many a sumptuous Thanksgiving re-
past was gathered around in this
city and let US hope not unmindful
of the concluding clause in the Pres
idents proclamation: "With thought
full helpfulness toward those who
suffer lack of the body and of tbs
Spirit" Appropriate exercises were
held in some Of the churches and in
the Y. NJ. G. A. and the day passed
off quietly and pleasantly.

Only few weeks ago "Old Hutch"

of appearing, Mr.. Hutchinson sent q
letter withdrawing his application
but gave no reason for doing.
Mr.. Hutchinson said to World

The Board of Directors of the

the suspension:
ssThe causes which led to the sus-
pension have existed long while.
The capital vas impaired by heavy
losses several years ago, as is gener-
ally understood from the fact that
no dividends have been declared
since 1887. The directors hoped
that by careful management the
earnings of the bank would be sufi-
cient in few years to cover these old
losses, but slow collections in conse-
quence of the general stringency
prevailing In our section this fall,
have compelled them to abandon
this hope and close the bank to pro-
tect the 0epositors as we'll as the
stockholders against further risk.
Notwithstanding the shrinkage in
many securities on account of the
general depression in business, it is
hoped that the resources of the
bank. under prudent handling, will
yield more than enough to pay the
depositors in full"
