CLEAN UP.

While our city is not in very
bad condition for rubbish, yet
there are a few places which
need cleaning. A clean, healthy
looking city appeals to the stran-
ger as a good place to live, and
we have never known a city be-
ing too clean. Extra efforts
should be made by every citizen
of Cheyenne Wells to keep their
property free from rubbis h. and
now is good time to begin the
crusade. It pays to be clean
both morally and socially.

cially TO fit the needs of the Bank of
sumter and for nearly a quarter OF a
century II has occupied the same
quarters, which, at the outset, were
ample for the needs of the institution.
But with the passing of the years and
the steady growth Of the town and
development of the surrounding coun-
ty 'le business of the bank increas-
III 80 such an extent that it outgrew
fs "SnkIng house. With the fore
sight and the sound business judg-
ment that have been characteristic
OF the officials of the Bank Of Sum
ter, the ,Ryttenberg property, on the
corner of Main and Liberty streets
gnerally regarded at that time as
the most desirable and valuable bus
iness site in the city, was purchased
some years ago against the time
when the bank would be forced to
obtain larger quarters. The need for
more room having become urgent last
year the bank obtained the cancella-
tion OF the lease from the tenants oc-
cupying the old Ryttenberg building
and prepared to erect a new banking
house.
Plans for the new building were
prepared by Wheeler & Stern, of
Charlotte and the contract was let
to w. Lee Harbin. Work was started
during the fall. the first step being the
removal of the old two-story store
which was one OF the largest and
most substantially built brick build
ings on Main street.
The new building, erected in ac-
cordance with the plans of the ar
chitects, has a frontage Of 33 feet
on Main street and los on Liberty
and is two stories in height, with
basement for the heating plant and
storage. The total cost of the build
ing exclusive of the value Of the lot
has been $4,000.
1t is built of white sandstone and
in addition to being an unusually i'm
posing and handsome structure is
recognized at glance as Il bank.
The interior is artstically finished in
