Bank, reported in the MORNING News
last Sunday, it is rumored that the liabil
tiles are $4,000 and the assets 100000.
A. E. Drought has been president for
eight years. His uniform conservatism
caused the bank to be looked upon as ex-
ceptionally solid. The calling in of loans
by banks in New York and Jacksonville
is said to have caused the failure. MI
merOus attachments and some criminal
prosecutions are being instituted. Com
plant is made that deposits were received
as late as May -. and remarks anything
