writing history of Hattiesburg so
large, and so important has been the
part they have had in that history.
This fact adds interest to the histori7

The paper has in it so much of gem

Mr.. Foote said:
'1n commenting on the annual state
ment of the bank it would be we'll to
keep in mind a few facts regarding
the past of this institution as well as
its present. This can not be done
without going considerably into the
history of this section, as this bank
has been most intimately and closely
linked with the progress and achieve

when this bank was organized in
September, 1895, the total assessment
of Hattiesburg was $415,207 Today
its total assessment is $S,O91, O98. This

achieved by the people of Hattiesburg

itself.
