There are to be some changes in
The Stevens County Bank, but
they are not of any special import
ance, further than that the bank is
to drop it's articles of Incorporation
This is done for purely business
reasons, and will not reduce the
banks resources. There are to be no
changes in the officers, and but one in
Ithe stockholders, viz: Mr.. James
Foss disposes of his stock and Mr.. A.
Foss buys All interest. The bank, we
ATE pleased to say, is doing a much
larger business than ever before,
thus testlfying to the confidence of
its management and indicating the
prosperity of this section. The
statement elsewhere published,
shows deposits of nearly donble the
amount of any previous period in
this banks successful career, while
the amount of available funds is
greater than ever. The individual
responsibility of the stockholders is
from $3.50. 900 to $3.50. 900, and the
stock of the bank is so far above par
as not to be for sale.
