considerable interest throughout this
section, as these institutions have
performed splendid service in the
commercial welfare Of the communi-
ty and country round about.
Negotiations have been under way
for several weeks looking to this con-
solidation, but it was not until this

the banks will be operated as now,
and there will not be any inconven-
fence whatever, it is announced, to
customers and depositors of either
bank by virtue Of the consolidation.
Everything will move along as usual,
but finally the First National Bank

pose of the stockholders to ultimately
operate under the name of the older
institution, the Bank of Plant City
but the site of thee First National
which is ono of the most conveniently
arranged in this section, will be used
When the move will be effectd is moi
yet known, depending upont the time
it will require the Comptroller of thu
