Hattiesburg, Mississippi, the "Old Re-
LIABLE" as they say in that communi-
statement, represent the magnificent
total of $2,3OS, $500 We once had
the pleasure of doing business with
it, and though we moved away and
closed our account, we have contin-
ued to receive its statements from
time to time. They do not forget the
old friends, and the fact that they
feel kindly interest in all, and are
not forgetful of past favors, is doubt

public to take notice, and create for
