In the last issue of the Banner
Democrat there was mistake in the
article on the dividend recently de-
clared by the bank. We made the
statement that dividend of 10 per
cent was declared, 81 per cent of which
was placed in the surplus fund. We
should have stated that dividend OF
1871 per cent was declared, 81 per cent
OF which was placed in the surplus
fund. The mistake was not entirely
the fault of the Banner-Democrat, and
the bank won't fail. This is a first
rate showing for the first year. We
hope to see even better results next
year.
