PRATTV|LLE BANKS
GROWING RAPIDLY
Business Men Feel Just
Pride in Their Two Finan-
cial Institutions

Prattville June 25.-(Special)-Ihe nusi-
ness men of this city feel just pride IN
their financial institutions. Thirteen years
ago this was one of the largest towns IN
the state without a regular banking
house At that time the Prattville Cotton
mills conducted for their own convenience
q quasi banking attachment to their gen.
eral business of making cotton goods ana
cords. At the opportunie' time. however,
the Autauga Banking and Trust company
-as launched with a paid in capital stock
Of $25,OO0 and authority to increase TO Soo'-
600 when business interests of the city
would warrant. The increase OF capital
stock to $4,000 came earlier than was
thought at the organization. and following
in quick succession increased to $4,000 ana
TO $15O.O00 it's present capital stock, an6 1t
has a surplus of about $4,000.
The First National bank was talked IN
the spring Of 1908, and many patrons and
customers OF the other institution thought
there was no field for a National bank IN
so small a city as this was at that time
The First National bank was launched
however. with $4,000 paid in stock and
proceeded to issue it's own currency, thus
giving the town another boost 1t was
argued that the deposits of these two
banks would be practically the deposits of
the first institution that organized, but
facts do not bear this out.

Meridian, Miss. June 25.-(SpeciaL)-A
collision between an automobile and a
buggy out on the Poplar Springs good
road came near being fatal to Miss Azalie
Bailey, daughter Of State Senator John A.
Bailey, last evening.
In company with her brother John she
was returning from visit to Hamilton s
lake and 1t was after dark. The buggy
started down a hill and when partially
down an auto came in sight. Young Mr.
Bailey attempted to drive his buggy to
one side, as the passage was narrow, but
owing to stakes put up to keep people on
the novaculite road he was unable to get
entirely out of the way. The auto struck
the buggy, turning it over and throwing
both occupants to the ground. The young
man was not injured but the young lady
was knocked unconscious and it was sew
earl hours before she regained conscious
ness She was carried home, about a mile
distant and at once received medical at
tention The back of her head and her
spinal column were slightly injured.
1t is learned today that the young lady
is very much improved and will probably
be able to be out in a week or ten days.
