in the engrossing department. 1t Is
not often that bill Is lost, bat such
a happening is not impossible. Be

At meeting of the directors of
the Bank of Lake City held last
Friday night the report OF the ex-
pert accountant was received and
the matter Of the finances Of the
bank thoroughly gone over In every
detail. Nothing whatever devel-
oped that caused the officers to wish
to retract or modify any part of the
statement heretofore made. On the
contrary the state of affairs as now
ascertained definitely fully Justities
that statement. Should any part
of the shortage remain after settle.
ment with those liable, this unpaid
part is now covered and guaranteed
IN a manner very satisfactory to the
directors. Not cent of the surplus
fund or any other asset of the bank
is touched. Everything remains in
tact, and any deficiency of the
shortage that may remain. if any
remain, is fully met. This state
ment is made with a full knowledge
of the affairs to which it relates and
is made in all earnestness as facts
and not as vague generalities.
Attention Is called to the "corn

1t is hoped that ,nls action on the
part of the bank will encourage and
stimulate the farmers to give more
attention to the cultivation of corn
and not devote their best energies
to cotton, upon the yield and pr.ce
of whicn no one can safely rely.

The storm of last Wednesday

company in this section of the State
is highly desirable.

the bill was closely watched until it
