DENDS.

ST. Tammany parish should be
proud of the remarkable growth OF
the Covington Bank & Trust Co.
Such an institution gives opportuni-

ing up of large enterprises without
going outside for capital. With the
probability of new manufacturing
enterprises in the growth of the
parish, it is especially comforting to
feel that the capital is at hand when
the time for promoting comes. This
bank has just declared per cent
dividend in addition to it's regular
semi-annual 5 per cent dividend.
