A TRICK OF FATE.

Errck Thurston had offended his
mother by falling in love with a
poor cousin, Sybil Knight. Her only
objection was that the girl was
poor, while Errick was several
times millionaire. The foolish
parent was rather pleased, there
fore, when Errick began to pay at
tention to Dora Cayendish, as it
was the evident wish Of that young
woman's mother than he should.
He was somewhat interested in
Dora, who was a fragile little body,
very pretty, but without character
or determination.
While he was calling on Dora
one evening she began to cry and
speak of being unhappy. Trying to
comfort her, Errick took hold of
her hand and talked to her as he
might to a child in trouble. She
suddenly dropped her head on his
shoulder and began to weep hys,
terically. AS his arm stole about
her waist Dora's mother appeared
in the doorway. {
''This is a great surprise to me,
but a great JOY as WELL" she said.
81 have long hoped that some
young man, as good and true as
you seem to be, Mr.. Thurston,
would fall in love with my daugh-
ter There is no one to whom |
would more gladly confide my
darling's future happiness"
Some friends coming in an in
slant later prevented Errick's in
tended explanation. To his hor-
ror, Mrs. Cavendish announced her
daughters engagement and he was
| forced to receive congratulations
without being able to straighten
out the situation.
Sybil was indignant when the
news reached her ears. She had
believed in her cousin and thought
he had really meant to make her
his wife. They had talked of such
| things, but had never really come
| to a definite understanding on &C
count of his mothers opposition.
She made no sign to him that she
| had heard of his engagement, and
Errick was too thoroughly angry
| and ashamed of himself to offer
any excuses. He family hoped that
Gxrhi1 haI nnr Of tho flair
but he hardly dared believe it pos
sible He likewise refrained fro-
mentioning the subject to his
mother. She, however, received
the news from another and was de-
| lighted. Nor did she hesitate to
show her pleasure.
One warm, bright afternoon
Sybil was surprised by call from
Dora Cavendish, whom she had
| rarely met, owing to the late ar
rival of that young woman and her
| mother in the city.
"You will be surprised, of course,
at my coming here, Miss Knight"
Dora began, "but when have told
you my errand you will thank me
for the visit, | am sure"
Then the girl related a story that
sounded scarcely possible. She told
of being absolutely at the mercy
of her mother, who treated her as
child and insisted that she do
her bidding in all things. The trap
to ensnare Errick had been care
fully prepared by Mrs. Cavendish.
and Dora was but a weak tool in
her hands. Weighted by the
thought that Sybi would be heart
broken by her cousins unfaithful-
ness, Dora had resolved to end the
farce of her engagement at any
cost and bear the consequences,
even if it necessitated her leaving
home.
Not long after Dora had gone Err

PROGRESS OF THE BANK OF COMMEPN'

ing in This City and Section

Organized January, 1892, by sue
cessful business men experienced I'M
finance and with a full realization
of the great responsibility resting
upon the banker, the management
of the Bank of Commerce adopted
a conservative and safe policy that
has won for the institution a large
line of depositors and patrons.
While this bank is in no sense a
promoter, it cheerfully furnishes aid
to all worthy business enterprises on
a safe basis, and has done much for
the upbuilding of this city and it's
immediate territory 1t being state
bank, it has no restrictions as to real
estate loans and lends a considerable
portion of it's funds on that class of
security, and as an evidence of the
caution exercised in making its loans
the bank has acquired no real es-
tate and none is counted in it's as
sets. 1t is said the institution can
never be induced by high rates of in
terest to take any risk or engage in
or lend its funds to speculative en-
terprises.
Another feature of this bank is
the large reserve carried to protect
it's depositors in times of panic or
money stringency. The law requires
that banks shall have on hand at all
times 25 per cent. of it's demand de-
posits The reserve of the Bank of
Commerce has never been so low as
that, and is usually above SO per
cent The bank also deals to some
extent in high grade municipal bonds
and has some desirable issues on
hand for sale to patrons. Such Sc
curities are always readily convert
ed into cash and further adds to the
strength of the bank in times of

cane. Both the ribbon and green
cane grow to great size, and the yield
is very large in syrup and sugar.
AS there are, however, no refneries
in the county, it is made principally
into syrup. This is far-famed for
it's sweetness. A fair crop of cane
will produce from 400 to 700 gal

from 80 to so cents per gallon, yield

a Bit of History.
Sumter county, Of which Americas
is the official seat, got it's name from
General Thomas Sumter of South
Carolina, whose valiant deeds and
splendid services to the cause of
universal freedom are a part and
parcel of the Revolutionary history
of America.
From the first days of it's existence
the county has taken frOnt-rank in
progress, the sturdy and intelligent
character of it's earliest settlers, who
were among the best of the descend
ants of the Virginia and Carolina
colonists, being reflected in the en-
terprise and boldness of their de-
scendants, who today show they have
| lost none of the sterling qualities
of those people who not only changed
the map, but the sentiment of the
whole world.
Sumter is located in the center of
group of counties which comprise
Southwest Georgia, which located
about $50 miles from the Gulf of
Mexico, 80 miles north of the Flori-
| da line, 70 miles south of Macon and
miles inland from the Atlantic
coast at Savannah and Brunswick,
affords almost every degree and va
riety of climate.
The county has lived to see grow
up within it's borders several towns,
which although very small in COM
parison with Americas, are on par
with the best country towns of any
state, north or south.
