The statement of the Deposit Bank
of this city appears on fourth page of
this issue.
1t shows the bank to be in a very
fiourishing condition. Their deposits
show a substantial increase and they
have raised their dividend rate from
to a per cent semi-annually. This bank
has always been regarded as one of our
most conservative institutions and this
statement shows that it has lived up
to that reputation.
They show very small amount of
overchecks and no rediscounts or bills
payable. They were examined on May
22rd, 1911 by an expert State Bank
Examiner from the Secretary of States
office. and the following verbatim eX-
tract from his report speaks for itself.

Saturday a tenement house and barn
on the farm of David Crombie, near
Riddles Mills were destroyed by FIRE.
The house was occupied by the family
of Alonga Klump, and they saved vety
little of their household furniture, as
the roof was read to fall in before the
flames were discovered. 1t is sup
posed that the fire originated from a
defective fue.
The barn, which was comparatively
new, was situated about 200 yards
from the house, and caught fire from
flying sparks. 1t was entirely destroy
ed, together with the contents, twC

Showing of the Agricultural
Bank.

The Agricultural Bank is one of the
most conservative banking institutions
in the State and has been examined by
the State Expert Examiner sent from
the office of Mr. Ben l.. Bruner, Sec
rotary of State and they said after the
examination that it was the cleanest
and best bauk-the bookkeeping could
not be improved upon-that they had
examined out of one hundred and six
ty. The gross earnings for the past
six months was 81, 6l2 &c and we paid
a five per cent dividend to the stock
holders, which we had been doing for
years. If we had added our earnings
to the surplus instead of paying divi-
derds our surplus would have been
more than three times our capital stock
and if we paid what the average bank
paid our surplus would have been
Sl20, 900 more than it is. We have paid
in the last twenty-six years from Is to
33 per cent more in dividends than the
average bank.
