Congressman Van Voofhis, of Ohio says there will be a great revival of national banking in small country towns of the South and West, under the clauses of law which the House passed last week and which is now before the Senate. MT. Van Voorhis is banker of long experience and is receiving number ofletters concern ing the measure. 1t allows the or ganization of banks Of towns of less than 4,000 inhabitants on capital of $20 ,000 The measure is expected to pass in the Senate. If this happens there will undoubtedly be a large falling off in private banking. Mir Van Voorhis has letter from a president of twenty country banks in Georgia, who says, if the bill be comes a law he shall organize as many national banks for business
 throughout the South's Empire State.
