The official statement of the Yelling
ton bank is published in another column.
From the statement it will be seen that
the bahk has been so wisely managed that
1t enjoys the confidence and good will
of a large patronage. 1t is indeed graft
flying to the citizens of this county to see
even in these 'piping times' of financial
storms, the banks make such excellent
statements. The statements that appear
in this paper furnish an index to the
stability OF Lafayette county. They speak
volumes for the men who manage our
bank. The Wellington bank statement
speaks volumes for the management of
the bank officials, and demonstrates its
right to a good place among the safest
and best institutions. DIR. Jno. Mann,
the president of the bank, is one of the
most prominent and respected men of the
county. HIS name adds strength to any
institution with which it is connected.
