WHO took the examination appeared
10 be nsre school children. These

and not for the purpose of going into

was the largest number in the history

Our County Banks Prospering

It is with a feeling Of pride that the
Dispatch refers 70 che regulsE state
naente Of the several banks Of the
county In this issue. Without single
exception these banks continue to
grow, and Justly go. Without our
STRONG financial institutions at this
time, our people would indeed be in s
bad way. Banks, like other instISu-
aons, (snd if anything more so) are
obliged TO be careful. If they would
not be they would not and could not
enjoy the confidence Of their deposl-
sors. LAST year was the hardest year
perhaps in the history Of Che county
on banking institutions everywhere"
Due to the low price Of cotton, ooLIeo-
sions necessarily were far below the
average hue with it all, there fe not
bank in che county today. chat is not
sbIe to care for its pstrone-those who
are worthy of credit. As We have ssld
before, Shis is no slime &c critiolse
banks. On the other hard, they
should be praised for che splendid
manner in which they have helped our
people through this great money
crisis. Instead of oriticistng, it is The
duty of every business nan and farnn"
ar 30 help the banks IN every way,
and this they can do by meeting their
obligations as far as possible 1t 1s
generally conceded that money ls hard

people should nos grumble and groWl

u,aarfsssestablishmant is filed TO oFer-
flowing with eager SHOPPERS and that
she new. beautiful and magnificent
assy eaoasand dollar stock Of fl24rehsn-
disc is being rapidly dispessd Of.
( without q doubss this, is one OF the
MOSS s6upeRdoas sales eves put On by
any concern in this section of country
everything IL going az prices never
before heard OF, and the. thousands of
visitors are smazsd oyer the low-priced
goccs: and everybody is wondering
how MIR. FitzEaurioe can afford to sell
such high-class goods ss such sweep
ins,reductions-st prices that Cannot
bat appeal to economical buyers. But
Ghe answer IS easy; she story is short.
Mr FitzmsUrice contemplates re-
modelling and re-arranging his already
handsome and commodious building.
The carpenters are waiting to begin;
sae contractor is urging the job must
be completed by certain date, and
tae hands must have room to work.
The building must be ready for the ar
rival of new fall goods, many Of which
have already been contracted for and
pUrchassd-purchased at war prices
at prices that will mean the saving of
thousands of dollars to the friends and
customers OF the Fitzmaurice store.
The owner sees great things ahead
his vision is good-he sooWs a good
thing when he GEES i. and he is willing
TO give his customers the benefit Of his
oTn great studies in being able to pur-
chase goods at price which will en-
able him to "Whack up" and still
have neat sum laid up for his saving
account. In short, this sale which
commenced today is the mightiest of
sales-its the sale you have read about,
heard about, but never have seen. To
appreciate it's fullness. its beauty and
splendor, you must be on the ground
floor in person. Read the big display
advertisement elsewhere. Scrutinlze
the figures, read about the high char
acter Of the merchandise thai Is being
mercilessly thrown on the lnarket-al-
most given away. A dollar at this
sale will do double duty; yes, it will
do triple duty. Go and see for YOUR
self. Tell your friends about it. Now,
this is all; Fitzmaurice's clever sales
people will do the rest.
