First. The savings business OF
that institution can be carried on
by this bank as a department just
the same as it is carried ON at that
bank at present, and an annual
savings of 100000 in expenses
can be made by the uniting of the
two institutions.
Second. I, as President of the
Home Savings Bank have always
had upon me the responsibility OF
making it's loans and discounts,
and by uniting the two institu-
tions / feel that ] can better give
my attention to that important
feature of the banks business.
Third Mr.. J. E. Turner who
has shown himself to be a well
equipped and valuable bank man,
Judging from the success he has
made of the Home Savings Bank,
we need here and by bringing his
energies and ability into closer
touch with this institution, we
feel that the combined efforts of
this bank will bring better results
for the united institution than as
heretofore.
l will further suggest that in
the matter of tax there will be a
material saving, and the number
of banks in Fitzgerald will be de-
creased to 4, it being obvious that
a town of Fitzgeralds size is not
sufficient to creditably foster five
seperate banking institution.
In conclusion / would say that
I have very recently gone through
and inspected each and every as
set of the Home Savings Bank
and I find them to be in most ex.
cellent condition, and should my
suggestions be adopted can faith
fully say that it's business will be
a valuable addition to the resourc-
es of the First National Bank.

TO THE STOCK HOLDERS OF THE
FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF
FITzGERAD, GEORGIA.
Another year has passed and we
find ourselves assembled in annual
meeting, for the purpose of going
over the doings and events of this
period in our histor.. Seven and
one half years ago the Merchants
and Planters Bank, Of which the
First national Bank is q successor,
opened its doors for business and
during that u years our history
has been one of progress and
achievement.
Commencing with capita liza
tion of SIS, 10000 in July of 1900
through a process of evolution, we
have come until now We have the
distinction of being one of the
strongest and most progressive
country banks in Georgia.
OF the seven and one half years
of our business history none has
been more eventful and strange to
say more profitable than has 1907.
1907 will go down in the history
of American Finance as year of
most phenomenal events. Panics
may come and panics may go, but
the panic of 1907 for its suddeness
severity and brevity will be
always known as Star Performer.
At the beginning of 1907 the
Officers and Directors of this insti-
tuition felt that we were entering
upon a year in which prudence
and conservatism should be a con-
trolling factor in our policy. We
felt and knew that the business OF
the country was being conducted
upon such a liberal and free scale
that an adjustment of some nature
had to come and was due. We set
about to be prepared for that emer-
gency and when it did come we

15to to Dec. 31st is we'll known to
you. Our cash reserves were new
err larger than at that time and
through our foresight we had our
bank in such condition that we
were not forced to the extreme OF
forcing collections from our good
customers in order to put ourselv-
es in shape, as did many other in
stitutions. Instead we we're able
in that time of financial stringency
to lend some assistance to our Gus
toners, which fact we are indeed
proud of as very few banks can
| make the same statement.
On November LIST, following &C.
ton Of Atlanta, Savannah and
other central cities, the banks
composing the Fitzgerald Clearing
House Association issued clearing
house certificates. 1t is well
known to tn public what a splen.
did purpose these certificates serv-
ed and what great value they were
to the trading community. The
total issue of these certificates in
Fitzgerald was only 100000 of
which the First Nationals quota
was 1924, 100000. Neare glad to
be able to say that these certifi-
Gates have served their purpose
and we now have in our bank more
than three fourths of the certifi-
Gates issued by this bank, and feel
that the time is very near at hand
when their use will be entirely dis
continued.
AT the time of our last annual
meeting after paying the usual
dividend our surplus and profits
account stood $33, 100000. At the
semi annual meeting Of July LIST,
our Directors met and passed up
to surplus the earnings for the
first 6 months Of the year, making
our surplus and profits $50, 900, 90.
Since July 1st or during the latter
half of the year our profits have of
course been on a much smaller
scale, due to our extremely con-
sentative policy, amounting to
IS, $4,000 for that period. Sum
med up our net earnings for the
year 1907 have been $21, $4,000
or Oh % on our capital stock.
In order to successfully accom-
pIish the undertaking which /
shall later suggest I recommend to
the stock holders that the capital
stock of this bank be increased
from $1OO,OOO,OO to 1925, 100000
said stock to be sold at its book
value to such parties Gs would in
our opinion add strength and in
fluence to the bank.
/ further recommend that the
Board of Directors be increased
from Z to 10 in order that the
council and advice of a good many
stockholders may be better avail
able to us through this medium.
It is a well known fact to all Cf
you that the Home Savings Bank
of Fitzgerald is an offspring Of
tie First National Bank, being
largely owned and controlled by
the stock holders and officers of
this bank. The Home Savings
Bank has been q very prosperous
institution in the four years of its
career, having always paid an an
nual dividend of 8 percent and has
