A typographical error occurred last

est paid on time deposits. The bank
pays 5 per cent. now, but with its in
creasing prosperity it may pay much
more in the future.

The date for the presentation of
"Under the Southern Cross" will, it
is now thought, he November 8. Ow-
ing to the fact that the opera house
has been used by professionals almost
every evening, the date has been post
poned from time to time. All who
have seer the play say unhesitatingly
that it will be beautiful.
