consists entirely Of ladies, nineteen In

eighty members, fifteen OF whom have

In these times Of financial depression
Il IL very gratifying to know that the
south Paris Savings Bank, our local
moneyed institution, Il sound and solid.
Its management In the past has been
very conservative, and the bank now
reaps the benefit OF it. The people have
entrusted to Il more than half million
dollars Of their savings, which are now
wisely aud safely Invested. IL has n
larger proportion Of Its funds invested
In first mortgages on selected real estate
than any other bank In the state. While
these, perhaps, cannot be converted Into
money as quickly ss stocks or bonds yet
the value IL there, and they are good for
100 cents on the dollar, and not liable To
the depreciation which so often happens
to other securities. During the twenty
years of It's existence the bank has never
asked for notice from any one, and has
paid every deposition who desired To
withdraw his money, on presentation OF
his book; but now In conformity with
the advice Of the bank examiner, II has
united with all the other savings banks
In the state In requiring 30 and 60 days
notice should any deposition desire to
withdraw large sum. This Is done
simply by way Of precaution, and as q
protection to the deposltors, In view Of
the restless feeling which pervades the
whole country. We understand, how
ever, that only Ave or six notices have
been received during the past few weeks,
and these cnly In cases where deposltors
were using their funds building, etc.,
and that the whole amount Il less than
people are accustomed to draw In the
same time. There can be no doubt but
what the savings banks Of Maine are the
safest place for the peoples money In
times like the present, In spite OF tho
wicked and malicious stories which I'M
princlpled people circulate about them.
