Annual Meeting Of Stockhold-
ers of Home Savings
Bank.

At the recent annual meeting
of the stockholders of the Home
Savings Bank, a cash dividend OF
eight per cent. was declared and
paid out and fourteen per cent.
additional passed to the surplus
account. This indicates prudent
and business.1ike management
for the bank.
The Home Savings Bank has a
splendid line of deposits that is
increasing, and is one of the
soundest and best managed
banks in the state. The people
| of this community regard the
| institution as one of the strong
est factors in the growth and de"
velopment of Fitzgerald and Ir-
win county, as it has figured con"
spicuously in the promotion OF
vast enterprises srch as the mill
lion dollar railroad shops, the
creation of Ben Hill county and
others, while it has loaned thous-
ands of dollars to worthy patr on
to aid them in their indivldualaf-
fairs.
One feature about the bank
that our people are taking spec
| ial advantage of, both the man
with his large sum of money
awaiting an opportunity for In
yestment and the man who IS
saving for the future, is the high
rate Of interest they allow for the
use of money deposited with
them in their Savings Depart
ment. But few people already
realize that this bank has paid to
| its depositors several thousand
dollars in the way of interest
since it began business three
years ago, still such is the case.
A bank that is willing to open
an account with the small sum of
twenty-five cents promising at
the same time to encourage the
depositor to save and add to it
and at the some time is capaci-
tated to handle the largest sums
| of money that are likely to be de-
posted and doing this ID a man-
ner so pleasing that one is always
perfectly satisfied with every
transaction, is a bank that au ap-
preciative public will always pa
tronize.

items. Fences, out buildings and piles of valu

wood cover every farm.
The Enterprise does not take alarm at the
talk of independent candidates against the
nominees to county Office. We would not vote
for brother if he was an independent candid
ate against man we had tried to defeat in
white primary. Every honest man who par
ticipated in the white primary is bound by the
result-bound to support the nominees, by
every rule of right and honesty, and we do not
believe there are dishonest men enough COM
bined with the negro vote to defeate the nomi-
nees.
We have long recognized that there are
sorry white men, but we have never been will
ing to grant them control, and in this instance
the men who will not stultify themselves are in
i large majority and the county nominees will
be elected early on the first day OF the new year.
