National Bank ofCommerce Become
Strongest Banking Institution in
State of Mississippi Deposits
Over 81. 100000.

At meeting of the shareholders ol
the National Bank of Commerce il
was decided to Increase its capital
stock twenty-five thousand dollars
1926, 000), this stock to be sold at the
actual value of the old stock to par
ties who are not now interested in
the bank.
This means that the capital stock
of the bank will be three hundred and
twenty five thousand dollars 1926,
000D, and its surplus and undivided
profits one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars ($150,000). This makes
the total investment of this bank by
shareholders four hundred and seven
ty-fve thousand dollars (S475, 000),
which is the largest capitalization OF
any bank in the state of Mississippi.
This is pleasant subject for a
Hattiesburg citizen to comment upon
and condition, which reflects credit
upon this entire section of the state,
on account of the fact, that the Hat
tiesburg banking interests not only
represent home conditions, purely,
but the local financial institutions
carry the reserves for q large sur
,.O,,,od;por farr;torxy-
Attention is called to the fact that
the national bank act creates double
responsibility upon the holders of
stock in a national bank, and the re-
spoGsibility of eacl shareholder be-
ing. therefore, double the amount of
his holdings, which increases the
total responsibility of the Bank Of
Commerce to eight hundred thou
sand dollars $500, 000), which is a
mammoth sum to contemplate in this
section of the world.
The deposits of the bank are run
ming in excess of 81, 200, 900.
The piney woods section Of Missis-
sippi has been growing and develop
ing by leaps and bounds, and show
ings of this kind are becoming very
common.
The entire banking interests of
South Mississippi are growing and
al of the. Hattiesburg banks are
making creditable statements and
Hatt;esburg is proud of all of them.

Never forget you are part of the
town, and that your own deportment
helps to make up the strangers esti-
mate of the place. Sell all you can
at home. Every dollar that is sent or
carried away from home makes the
town that much poorer. If you have
the means invest in something that
will give somebody employment. Do
not kick at proposed Improvement
simply because il is not at your door.

4 perfect town is that in which
you see the farmer patronizing the
merchants, the laborers spending the
money they earn with their own
tradesmen, and all animated by a
spirit that will not purchase ar;i lies
abroad if they can be bought at home.
The spirit of reciprocity between
man and the mechanic, tradesman
and laborer, farmer and manufactur-
or, results every time in making the
town perfect one to do business IN.
Perfection should always be desir-
ed even where attainment is barely
possible, we presume, but a perfect
town must be denominated a great
rarity until we reach a more advan-
ced stage toward the millennium
than has yet been gained.
