On Friday night of last week the citi-
zens of Benton met and perfected the
organization of bank to be established
at this place, which will be incorporated
under the name of "The Benton Bank,
and with a capital stock Of $4,000.
A new building will be built for the
bank, on the corner diagonally across
the street from the old Robertson Hotel,
which will be 24x4O feet, of brick and
have neat appearing glass front. The
inside fixtures will be in keeping with
the general good appearance Of the OUT
win be ready for occupancy by the list
of September, when the banks doors
will be thrown open, ready for business.
The directors of the new institution
are: P. G. Pye, C.. o. Gayle, R. E.
Wyche, DR.. G. H. Irion, j. A. Bumgar-
dner, ]. F. Edwards, w. H. Scanland,
O. r. Denton and B. A. Kelly.
The officers have all been named, and
are as follows: c. 0. Gayle, President;
p. G. Pye, First Vice President; r. E.
Wyche, Second Vice. President, and
o. r. Denton, Cashier.
The charter will appear in the columns
of the Banner at an early date.
Never before was there bank in the
parish and the want of them has long
been felt, and more especially at the
parish seat. Country banks with small
capital are, so said among the best
payest. They are almost without excep-
tion success in q good agricultural
community, such as is this, or anywhere
where there is kept much capital circu-
lating and there is to be found that pride
in home institutions, as is alwaye the
case with small banks outside cities.
It is with no little degree of pride thai
the Banner makes mention OF the pro-
posed establishment of the Benton
Bank, and it is hoped that ere many
years have passed that it's capital stock
will have increased ten fold and the
same be quoted at liberal premium.
