The bank of BARLEY ceased to exist on
Saturday evening of last week, and that

state of affairs, but ere six months have
elapsed they will no doubt regret the

institution cannot fail to injure the town
as market and trading place, to say
nothing of the inconvenience suffered by
those who have banking business to
transact.
