move into the new city hall the first
of September. The building will be
ready for occupancy before that time
but it is not expected that the furni-
ture can be placed in the building
before September. It is the idea Of
the building committee to put in
furniture in keeping with the ap-
p~earance of the building. This
} should be done. The building will
compare favorably with any city
hall building in the South and it
should be equipped with handsome
furniture.

tors of the Bank of Wayne, held in
: the Office of the president of that in
stitution last Saturday. semi-annual
| stock of 1925, 900 was declared, and
an equal sum passed to its already
large undivided profits. This speaks
volumes for the financial condition
and substantial prosperity Of Colds
boro, and sustains the already ac-
cepted fact-which has become as
second nature with our people-that
the Bank of Wayne is always in
the forefront of legitimate progress.
