OLIVER PROPOSES
STARTING ANOTHER
BANK ENTERPRISE

Banker" A D. oliver, having been
released recently from the Lee county
Jail, thinks of starting up again in the
banking business. He is said to have
announced his intention of opening
up his latest bank about January l at
Leesburg. Banker oliver says he
has already secured building for the
new bank, which will be domiciled in
the new Lipsey building. The capital
stock, it is said, will be about the
same as Oliverfs recent short-lived
bank in Smithville, the charter of
which named the amount invested as
100000.
Oliver seems in no manner dismayed
by the rather unsettled financial con-
ditions and he says his connections"
are such that he will be able to finance
his bank without difficulty. He also
has spoken of opening a new drug
store in Leesburg. There is already
one drug store being operated there,
but Oliver seems to think another is
needed.
Other enterprises are rumored as
being ready to spring Topsy-like from
the ingenious brain Of the meteoric
Climax capitalist, but no further sub
sanitation of these reports has been
made other than with relation to the
bank and drug store. divers friends
here are enthusiastically backing him
in his undertakings.
1t is said the Benton bank, which
obtained a charter last fall, but did
not. open its doors on account of the
depression incident upon the European
war; will also begin business at once
If So, there may be three banks in
Leesburg next year.
