HAS CONFIDENCE OF PEOPLE.
Peoples Bank Continues to Grow
Shows Big Increase in
Business,

In compliance with she call OF the
State Bank Commissioner Tor hnan-
cial statements from the banks
throughout the state We publish a
statement made by the Peoples Bank
OF this place, at she close OF business
February 9th.
Is was predicted when shis bank
was organized u lew days over six
months ago that IL would 10 short
time rank wish she leading financial
institutions OF this part OF the state.
Is Is certainly making good she pre-
diction. Since its organization Is
has shown an increase In deposits OF
nearly Sl7, 100000 each month. This
statement shows undivided profits,
net, OF 81 ,4S9 Sc: cash In vault anu
In other banks subjecs 80 check
amounting 30 $30,64S ~, and de-
posts $101, 54S 25. This Is an ex-
cellent showing, especially when We
consider the fact that the bank has
no county money or drainage funds
on deposit.
Recently we were shown by one oi
the officers "a copy OF the bylaws oi
the bank. They embody almost ev
cry conceivable protection shat can
be given the depositors and stock
holders OF bank. The banking
laws OF this state require the boar'l
OF direcsors OF bank TO meet each
month and examine all loans made
by she officers. An additional pro-
lection so those interested in she In
stitution. both depositors and stock
holders, the bank has drafted into
lie bylaws Section Is which reads as
follows:
SEC. l5-There shall be appointed
by she Board OF Directors commit
tee OF three members, whose duty Is
shall be so exercise Il supervision of
she business oil the bank, and to ex,
anime every three months the affairs
OF this bank, count It's cash, and
compare It's Assets and liza bilities With
the accounts OF the general ledger,
ascertain whether the accounts are
correctly kept and she condition o.,
the bank corresponds therewlth, and
whether she bank Ia In a sound and
solvent condition, and to recon-.
mend so the Board such changes In
the manner OF doing business, etc,
a. shall seem to be desirable, the re
suit ni which examination shall be
reported In writing to she Board at
the next regular meeting thereafter,
We also give section l6, which IL
as follows:
SEC 16-No officer or employee OF
this bank shall become indebted
thereto In any sum by n loan, over.
drait or In any other manner
One OF the officers informed THE
TINES that the above section was
drafted by him and agreed to by the
other officers before being submitted
to the committee on bylaws. He
gave as their reason Tor submitting
the section, that it serves as a sale
guard so the institution and will In
no wise jeopardize the rights or privi-
leges OF any we'll meaning officer
Knowing as we do all 1.-THE officers
OF the Peoples Bank, their fidelity to
truth and their high moral charac.
ter, 1t almost seems unnecessary
that such section as section 16
should be drawn and Incorporated,
but rs it was the will OF the Off ers
that Is should be done 1t serves az
additional evidence tina. they will
leave nothing undone for the safety
OF the patrons OF the institution by
which they are employed.

The inf, rmation that the southern
railway is seeking a port on the south
Atlantic for South American steam
snip service, is a pretty good indi-
cation of the fact that trade with the
Islands to the south Ct us is receivin5
attention at the hands Of steamship
owners The Southern might, with
propriety, aid Brunswick in securing
this line since the projectors want a
south Atlantic and not a gulf port.

WHEW!
HOW THAT SUN SIzzLED EVERYBODY
LAST THURSDAY, EVEN THE ice
CREAM MAN.

1t was humid and then some Thurs
day, when the sun sizzled everything
in reach and boiled the mercury un-
til it almost broke the top out of the
thermometers in a vain effort to go
as far as it pleased. Everybody who
didn't have to work just sat around
in the shade and sweltered or drank
soda water or beer and then swelter-
ed some more.
Down in the corners of the chick
en- yards about town, the little brown
hen and the big red rooster stuck out
their wings and opened their beaks
and painted for dear life, lolling back
in the shade as far as it was possible
to get. Even the stray dogs without
any license tags on them, forgot all
about the dog catcher and did what
everyone and everything else was do
ing-just lolled.
Those who say they know assert
positively that it reached III in the
shade, and most everyone else was
perfectly willing to agree without
looking at the theremometer-it was
too hot for an argument even on such
a topic.

BLACKBERRY SEASON AT ITS HEIGHT.

Berry pickers galore. That is what
YOU would see if you should happen
to be driving or walking along a
country road in the morning on one
of these days. From all parts of the
hills come people every day with
pals, baskets and even tubs loaded
with delicious blackberries. Young
men, old men, women, children and
everybody goes berry picking. The
blackberry is plentiful this year and
can be bought at very cheap price.
The cheapness does not keep people
from gathering them as they seem to
enjoy themselves while out hunting
them and enjoy eating the berries
better if they know that they picked
them themselves.
