Centreville, we understand, will soon
have a bank. James T. Dobbins of
Lesterville, has purchased the Drug
Store property from DR.. Motif. The
deed has been made and the Doctor
will give possession On the first day of
September. The consideration was
$3.50. Mr.. Dobbins. We are informed,
will erect a large brick building on
the corner which will be used as a
bank building. As soon as the build
ing can be erected Mr.. DobSins and
others will establish d bank therein
which will fill a long felt want. A
bank in our opinion will do a good
business at this place. Success to the
new enterprise.-ReynO!ds outlook.

negro helper unhitched the team from
the vehicle but did not take the

place generally. This spring he sowed
part of it to German millet, planted a
goodly lot of potatoes, and put a few
acres in corn. He as a reward for his

feet high, thickly grown, with heads
six and eight inches long. Mr.. Col
Inns will farm his land the coming year
with full faith as to returns.
