 A large force is at work on the buildings and 1t is thought that both structures will be completed and ready for occupancy before the next session of the schools opens.
 The school building when completed will be a most imposing one. It will be of brick and stone. The outside walls of the school building being made of different sizes of artificial stone blocks which adds greatly to the exterior appearance of the structure. The coming scholastic year of the school promises to be a good one and the enrolment of pupils from all parts of the State will be much larger than 1t has been. The added curriculum of the school will also be the cause of bringing to the school many additional pupils and within the next few years the Selma Military Institution promises to be one of the most popular insti- tutions of learning in the State.

will be extended until they are ready
to resume business. Meantime, the
bankers are pretty busy, getting
everything in proper shape for the
re-opening. There was rumor that
the opening day would be on Monday
next. Word was received from Gold
field to the effect that President Rick
ey of the State Bank and Trust Com
pany had wired to the Goldfeld
branch that the bank would open on
that day and be ready to pay all its
depositors.
An alleged interview with Cashier
Cushman of the local institution was
published to the same effect, but Mr..
Cushman said that he had not made
any such statement.

instructions to close the doors. | did
say that it would be a great thing
for the State if all the banks could
open their doors on Monday AS
said before, the State Bank and Trust
Company is perfectly solvent and will
be able to pay it's depositors in full
without forcing one of it's clients to
the wall
with regard to the statement
purporting to be made by Frank Col
den of the Nye and Ormsby bank,
that his bank was closed for the ex-
press purpose of getting a settle
ment with the State Bank and Trust
Company, it is deliberate mis-
statement, or Mr.. Golden was mis-
quoted | cannot believe that he
said it, for we never had any account
with the Nye and Ormsby, further
than clearances made each night. In
| that respect, there may have been a
check his way or our way, but as to
owing the Nye and Ormsby any
money, it is ridiculous.
