BANGING NOTES.

LIN ~ ~ INV nv
The State Bank of Orange has
been converted into a National bank
under the new banking system.
The rapidity with which many
State and private banks are be-
ing converted into national banks
argues strongly for the National
institutions.
The patronage received by The
Lancaster National Bank during the
first week of its existence far exceeds
the highest hopes of It's projectors
and makes it an assured success from
the outset.
Arrangements have been made by
which depositors of The Lancaster
National Bank will not be charged
one cent for exchange or collection
of checks on any part of the United
States. Handsome Autographed
check books will soon be out and
will be given free to customers.
The local editor spent Sunday and
Monday easter holiday with his
parents in Irvingtou. About the
only subject for discussion in that
neighborhood was the coming of The
Lancaster National Bank. The peo-
pie have every reason to be proud of
this enterprise and they are just as
proud as they have any reason to be,
too. 1t will be help to the Kappa
hammock Valley, and will receive the
hearty support of our business men.

LANCASTER IN LUCK.
(Southside SenHneI.)
Since the passage of the financial
bill by Congress there has been great
activity in banking circles. Several
hundred national banks have been
chartered by the Comptrolle, of the
United States Treasury within the
past few weeks and there are some
four hundred applications yet un-
acted upon. Among those chartered
on last Saturday was The Lancaster
National Bank, of Irvington, Va,
capital $4,000. Judge Jno. G.
Ewell is President and Frank G.
Newbill Cashier. with w. Mcdonald
Lee, A. Randolph Howard and other
prominent citizens of this section as
Directors. The bank opened on
Wednesday morning last for busl-
ness with good line OF deposits.
We congratulate the Northern
Neck and Rappahannock Valley up
on the contamination of so great an
enterprise and shall soon expect to
see checks and bank-notes bearing
the imprint of '"The Lancaster
National Bank" in profuse circula-
ton along the Rappahannock.
The Sentinel would have been glad |
to have seen Urbanna secure bank,
but as we did not do so. the Lam
caster Institution will receive our
best wishes.

The people of the lower Kappa
hammock have cause for congratula-
ton in the organization of the Ian
caster National Bank, which has just
been accomplished, and the bank
located at Iryington, that point being
the most accessible by land and

be owned by Lancaster and Middle

tors will consist of prominent citizens
of the two counties. A charter has
been granted by the u. S. Treasury
with a capital of $780,
600 to 100000, as may be deemed
necessary for the best interests of the
bank. The application to the gov
eminent for the charter was endorsed
by Hon. w. A. Jones, who materi-
ally assisted in completing the or
ganization. A contract has been let
for two-story pressed brick build

The bank will be of great benefit
% the people of Lancaster and Mid
ilesex counties, and we would call
heir attention to the fact that the
new institution should have their
hearty support and encouragement.
The men who are at the head of the
bank should give the people of that (
