More Complimentary
Words For American
State Bank.

We deeply appreciate the many
nice things said about our first
years record when the bank show
ed nearly $4,000 on deposit and
declared an s per cent dividend on
its stock.
All the officers and directors
were reelected for the coming year,
showing the confidence in which
they were held by the stock
holders. There were no resig-
nations, which means that all the
officers and directors were satisfied
with their conn ection with the
bank.
But we have just heard from our
corresponding bank in New York
City; the bank that stands behind
us with their millions of money to
furnish us with what we need to re-
lend to the good people of Ben Hill
County. This is what they say af-
ter their first years connection
with us:
"The statement you sent re-
sarding the progress your bank
has made is very flattering one
and your management must feel
very much gratified at the re-
markable success you have met
with so far, and you have our
best wishes fer continued pros
perity. We have every expect
ancY of being able to comply
with your wishes this coming
year."
We honestly solicit the business
of every reputable citizen and
especially the FARMERS, Tor we
are here to do you all good as far
as our means will allow. We loan
ed over 100000, the past year and
will be in a position to lend more
than this in 1912 on good. secured
paper-the only kind we accept.
Thanking each and every one of
our patrons for their assistance to
us and soliciting the business Of
all others who desire to connect
themselves with a bank who appre-
ciates them thoroughly, we beg
to remain. Very truly yours,
American State Bank.

a writer. 1T is covered with pure
gold from base to summit, and once in

throughout the interval the process Of
regilding goes on perpetually. Pious
people who seek in this way to express
their veneration and to add to their
store of spiritual merit climb up daily
with little futtering packets of gold
leaf. which they fasten on some frac-
ton of its great surface. There is no
more picturesque sight offered by 1t
than that of group Of these silken
worshipers outlined high against its
gold in the act of contributing their
small quota to its splendor. The pago-
da itself has no interior. 1t is a solid

A Miser,s Luxury.

There was Mddesex couple once
who lived on Il sum to shock the most
reckless of our correspondents. Daniel
Dancer was the man. He looked on
saving as an art and saved for arts
sake. His father left him farm and
eighty acres. and his sister helped him
carry out his scheme of life. He let
the land lie falow, says the London
Gest. 1t costs money to cultivate land.
For food the couple believed In one
day. one meal The batch of dump
lings baked on Saturday lasted out
the week. For clothing he depended
on hay bands "swathed round his feet
for boots and round his body for
coat" But Daniel had weakness.
He would buy clean shirt each year.
And out of this arose the tragedy Of
his life-a lost lawsuit over three
pence which. in Daniels Judgment the
shirt seller had wrongfully pocketed
He died in 1874 worth $4,000 year.

Serpents and Music.

Barnard concludes from his personal

the Scientific american. that the ser

pure fable and that the only effect Of
music is TO arouse the reptiles curios-

acute sound. The cobra protrudes its
head from its burrow alike on hearing
the snake charmer's flute, the rafting
of n chain or the sounds made by
beating the ground with a switch. 1t

high pitch, for it pays no attention to
the low notes of the flute or the beat
