$220,OOO.
Though. practically every stock
holder in the Hattiesburg Trust G.

the new organization $4,000 of new
capital has been supplied thus infus-
ing a large measure of life blood into
the situation, and providing for

like, easy and inexpensive method of

since when it has done much for the
upbuilding of Hattiesburg and the sur
rounding territory.
1t is recognized fact that the banks
of a community furnish the bedrock
on which confidence is founded and the
industrial and commercial life depends;
therefore, every member of the COM

perpetuity of it's banks. For this and
other reasons it will be a matter of
general satisfaction to know that in
deciding to liquidate the affairs of the
Hattiesburg Trust & Banking Com
pany, it's stockholders chose to inter-
est other capital instead of going out
of the banking business, decided to or
ganize new institution equipped with
capital and men to take over the SOL
vent credits and guarantee the pay
ment of the deposits of the retiring
bank.
Mr., Jos. o. Rea, the cashier of the
new bank, comes to Hattiesburg from
Crane, Mo-, where he has made a
marked business success. In addition
to his ability as business man and
banker, Mr.. Rea and his family come
highly recommended as useful citizens
and valuable members of society.
Mr.. J. s. Love, one Of the vice-pres-
tdents of the Bank of Hattiesburg, will
