have left the parental roof. The child
is poor indeed, who knows nc such love

Elsewhere will be found the state
ment of the Peoples Bank & Trust Co.,
as reported to Auditor Smith at the
last call for a statement showing the
condition of the banks of the State.
The statement shows a twenty-five per
cent increase in deposits over the same
date in 1908, which shows continued
growth and popularity of the institution
with the people who have money to de-

fairs TO them. The steady increase OF
the deposits reputes the oft repeated
complaint that times are hard.
