Made an

Last week the Pilot announced that
the Commercial bank of this place had
closed its doors, and that on Saturday q
meeting Of the creditors would be held
at which some plan would be adopted
either to continue the bank or to close
up the business. The action of this
meeting eliminated in the making of a
general assignment by the bank. BY
the instrument of assignment David
Sisk was made assignee. The affairs OF
the bank will be closed as speedily as
possible. The report of the condition
Of the bank shows that with proper
management there are assets sufficient
to pay its creditors in full. The cash
on hand and in banks is about $1,000
Bills recoverable, $4,000. Real estate,
$4,000. The liabilities nearly $4,000
The foregoing facts indicate hat the
Commercial bank has ceased to be one
Of the business concerns Of the town
The Pilot had hoped that such an ad
justment Of affairs could be effected az
would permit the bank to continue in
business, but such is not the case. The
Commercial bank has been identified
with the interests of Hermosa ever
since the town was started and it is with
regret that the Pilot notes its failure
The bank has always been regarded az
solvent and safe, although never doing
a large business.-Pilot.
