one OF the most attractive banking
houses in North Carolina.

cessful and progressive bank, though
still a young man, has had a career
worthy of note. He has filled every
position in a bank from ianitor TO

across the ferry at Portsmouth seemed
to settle the boys and they understood
that they were up against conditions
not at all like they were accustomed to
at home and they responded very well
indeed to the demands for vigilance and
alertness. About the second attempt at
street car riding one of the smaller ones
fell off and rolled over on his back about
six feet from the track. After this had
