Interest Paying Banks
are Most Successful

1t will be interesting to some to
know that the most successful
banks in the whole United States
are the banks that pay interest on
deposits, and that this community
is the one of the very few spots
on the globe where the banks do
not pay interest on deposits. Such
banks as the Farmers Bank of
Nansemond, Suffolk, Va, which
after paying dividend of TWEEN
ty-fve per cent to IT'S stockholders
annually has made four hundred
and fifty thousand dollars on a
capital of S2o,oo and many
other banks which have maize a
phenomenal success are the
banks that pay interest on depos-
its.
In many of the towns where
the banks pay interest on deposits
the rate of discount is lower than
it is in this community. We think
depositor is n tiled to interes
on his deposit and the many
years experience of the officer.
of our bank, in other banks, ha.
taught us that we can we'll afforc
to pay our depositors interest.
Careful attention given to al
branches of banking, and thre,
per cent paid on all sums depos
tied IN our savings department.

LUMBERMEN KILLING DEER
Michigan State Game Warden Says 1t Must
BE stopped or Deer Will BE
Annihilated.

Saut Sic Marie, Mich. Jan. 81
I.umbermen are killing the deer of the
upper peninsula in large quantities and
great inrOads are being made on the
antlered tribe. says Charles HI. Chap
man, state game and fish warden. A
large number of lumbermen kill deer
in systematic manner and many
camps where thousands of men are
employed keep man busy killing the
animals throughout the winter season.
Unless this practice can be stopped
the great hunting region north of the
straits Of Mackinac will soon be di-
vested of its deer The punishment
for such offense is $50. Game Warden
Chapman favors law making the
minimum punishment ninety days in

DAVID DAVIS BROTHER DEAD
His Demise Occurred in a Poor House fn
New York Had Been There
Three Years.

GcneseO. n. Y, Jan 31.-Joel Davis,
90 years old. brother of David Davis,
the late jurist and United States sen
ator from Illinois, died here in poor
house. He was committed to the coun-
tvs charge three years ago from
Caledonia. where he had spent the
greater part of his life as stone
mason. Senator Davis, when he died,
was reputed a wealthy man, but it is
doubtful whether he knew anything
about the circumstanc of his brother.
Joel related once how he had gone
to Illinois to see the senator. A maid
met him at the door Of the house and
asked for his card. He told her he
had never owned such a thing. The
maid refused to admit him, but said
she would speak to the senator. Sen
atOr Davis, she reported a
few minutes later, had said the visitor
must send in his name first. II bowed
politely to the girl" old Joel used to
say, "bade her good day. and got away
from there as fast as | could"
