STRONG INSTITUTION
THE ATLANTIC NATIONAL BANK
NOW TEN YEARS old
The Bank Has Made Remarkable
and steady Strides--The Deposits
Now Amount to S1,37a,ooO and N
Assets Foot Up s1,zs0.GOO-sop<c
Interesting Fccts.

The month of October marks the
tenth nilestoE= in the history OF the
Atlantic National Bank There is prob
ably no bank in the southern states
hat has shown such remarkable re-
suits as this bank. A glance at its ad-
ver1sement in todaJ's issue OF The
Messenger shows that since the last in
stalIment Of the capital stock was paid
in October, 1892, the bank has advanced
by wonderful strides to a position OF
the first importance in the financial
world. Ats assets, $1,750,Oeo, make it's
depositors absolutely safe in any emer-
gency. Its deposits have steadily grown
until teday they reach the sum of ST.
s275,0Oo, far in excess of those of any
bank IN North Carolina.
The stockholders of the Atlantic Ma
tiona1 Bank have every reason to be
satisfied with their investment, since
they have received from the bank IN
dividends $145 900, an amount exceed
ing it's capital by 500 900. In spite OF
the enormous amount paid out in divi-
dends. the bank still retains a surplus
fund of S155, 900.
The citizens of Wilmington might
justly be proud of sue an institution,
as they are largely responsible, through
their support, for the success OF the
Atlantic National Bank, a home insti-
tuition, managed by residents OF this
city.
This bank has been q prominent fac
tor in the advancement and promotion
of numerous local enterprises, without
whose aid it is doubtful if they could
have brought to a successful conclus-
ion. The good influences the fnstitu-
ton have been felt in various channels
of trade. It's deposits today are $1S5,
900 greater tina they were one year
ago, and the bank is better prepared
now than at any time in its history to
meet the needs of it's large number OF
customers.
The officers of the bank are as fol-
lows: j. S. Armstrong, president; An
drew Moreland, cashier; ]. w. Yates
assistant cashier.

Passing Of IndispcnsabIes.

Only those who have to 60 to the
depths of long disused trunks when
moving time necessitates renovation
and the sitting of belongings realize
how much Of what one clings to as in
dispensable becomes absolutely useless
when laid by for a time. Pictures
priced for one reason or another, SOU
venirs that fail to recall anything but
Inconvenience, letters that one couldn't
bear to burn, odds and ends that one
was sure to want, all become rs trash
in the repose of the stored trunk and
are sacrificed without a qualm when
moving time comes around to make
room for other things that will last
their little day and then find the same
end.-New York Press.

JUBILEE
Bonded Debt of $4,000 Has Been
Lifted Off Fifth Street Church-The
Pastors in the Trying Days Are
Here te Rejoice With the Congre-
CATION.

Twelve years ago Fifth street NJ. E.
church was embarrassed with a bur-
densome debt, and ten years ago on the
LIST of October bonds in the amount of
SIS, 600 Were issued upon a plan to adj
just and pay off the debt which fell
upon the congregation in IN unhappy
way that is not necessary to refer to
now.
Today the church is rejoicing that the
onerous debt has been liQuidated and
jubilee services are being held this week
to commemorate the happy circum-
debt
The first of these services were begun
last night INT there was a very large
congregation. Present on the occasion
were the pastors of the church during
the gloomy days Of Its history,
ington, N. c., Rev. l. l.. Nash. D. D., of
Rocky Mount. Rev W. L. C~upninggim,
Of Winston, and the present pastor,
Rev. John H. Hall whose fourth year
will soon be completed. There was pres
emit also the Rev. r. B. John, presiding
elder of the Wilmington district. Beau
tiful music was furnished by Miss Ma
mie L. McGirt. the organist, and a
splendid choral choir.
At the beginning Of the service the
Rev. John II. Hall made a brief state
ment explaining the object OF the ser
vices in commemoration OF The liquida-
ton Of the church debt. He stated that
the church is now absolutely free from
debt and that all the bonds have been
cancelled except ten and the money is
in bank to cancel these.
Interesting and enjoyable religious
services followed, with a stirring and
able sermon by the Rev. Mr.. Cunning
GIN. He preached from the text: LIST
Samuel. xiv 6-"It may be that the Lord
will work for us: for there Is no re-
straint to the Lord to save by many or
by few" The discourse was a most i'm
pressive n and was listened to with
deep interest.
After the services Rev. DR.. Nash and
the Rev. Messrs. Beaman and Cunning
GIN held a regular levee. People flock
ed forward by the hundreds and shook
their hands and expressed great pleas
ure at having them with them once
more.
There will be services again tonight.
The Rev. r. G. Beaman viii preach the
sermon.
1t is understood that the cancelled
bonds have been sold to the N. N. s.
Society Of Fifth Street NJ. E. church
and that they will be sold at so much
d piece as souvenirs. The funds thus
realized will be o church purposes.

Seventh Century Needlework.

Before the end Of the seventh century
needlework was carr ID 10 great per-
lection in converts. where it was used
for the establishment Of the church
and the decoration Of priestly robes.
Artists did not think it beneath their
dignity to trace the patterns used for
embroidery in their natural colors. A
certain religious lady. wishing to en-
broider a s~acerdotal vestment, asked no
less a parsonage than St Dunstan, then
a young man, but already noted for his
artistic skill and taste, to draw the
flowers and figures which she after.
ward worked in gold thread.

London March 1S.-Thc impression
caused in this country by the thival.
rous magnanamity of Commandant
Delarey in releasing a British general
whom he might have exchanged with
advantage is remarkably deep and
widespread and is. according TO all ap-
pearance, destined to have practical
results of the highest Importance.
The belief prevails in responsible
quarters that Commandant Delarcy
communicated fully to Lord Methuen
the views, aspirations and demands OF
the Boer leaders in the field and that
il is believed that Lord Kitchener will
advise that the British government
should accept them. 1t would not be

and DeWet should come to KlerksdorT

my life, as | was with the result OF
using Chamberain's Pain Balm" says
Henry T. Crook, pressman of the Ash
eville IN. c. Gazette. II contracted a
severe case of rheumatism early last
winter by getting my feet wet. | tried
several things for it without benefit
One day while looking over the Ga
2ette, | noticed that Pain Balm was
positively guaranteed to cure rheu-
matism, so bought a bottle OF it and
before using two thirds of it my rheu
matism had taken its flight and have
not had rheumatic pain since" Sold
