The Condition of the Williams
~ Goodc Bank at BOydtOn.

The report Of the condition OF the
bank OF Messrs. Williams x Goode,
at Boydton, which ie published in an
other column OF the DISPATCH this
morning, demonstrates clearly two i'm
portant facts: First. that the bank was
Just what the business Of Boydton and
the neighborhood and the busi-
ness correspondents OF Boydton want
ed. Second. that the affairs OF the
institution have been most sagaciously
managed. After being only month in
operation the bank makes q showing
that proves a solid foundation, POPULAR
ty, and great prosperity. An analysis
of the statement will be most gratifying
TO every customer of the bank and every

In yesterday mornings DISPATCH, in
the brief account OF meeting held by
the congregation Of the Second Presby-
terrain church to make provision for its
expenditures for the coming year, there
was statement which unexplained
would be quite misleading. 1t was
stated that there was deficit of $1,000
in the church finances for which pro-
vision had to be made, but the reason
for the need of increased contributions
was not given. 1t was not due to a de-
cline OF the liberality OF the church, but
because of the new responsibilities
which had been assumed, largely in
creasing the demand on the treasury.
In addition to the current expenses Of
the church large amount has been
pledged to outside enterprises. 1t is be-
cause ofthe purpose of the church to en-
large its influence in the community as
well as to meet its own expenses and add
to its contributions to the great enter
prises OF Christian beneyolence that
there was call for an increase in its
annual revenue. II. $.
