Relative to the new bank the daily
Commercial Appeal had the following
to say:
NEW BANK BUILDING
FOR BEALE AVENUE
Structure Will Cost More Than Two
Hundred Thousand Dollars.
The site for the first 10-story Office
building to be erected by Negroes on
Beale Avenue has been purchased at
South Third Street by A. F. Ward,
cashier of the Fraternal Savings
Bank & Trust Company. 1t will cost
more than 5000, 900 and construction
will start as soon as possession of the
property is secured.
Ward purchased the property from
the Byrd estate for $780, 900. On the
ground is a ,two-story brick business
house. 1t will be torn down as soon
as the present occupant can be in
duced to give up his lease and a con-
tract for the building will be let i'm
mediately thereafter. 1t will be COM
pleted next fall.
1t is announced by those financially
interested in the new building that
this is the first time in the history of
the South Colored business men have
made such a venture. 1t will be con-
structed of steel, concrete, brick and
stone and will contain all modern de
vices usually placed in an office build
ing.
The entire lower floor of the build
ing will be occupied by the Fraternal
Savings Bank & Trust Company. The
upper floors will be leased to tenants.
Plans for the new building will be
made as soon as an architect can be
engaged. Ward said last night the
financial arrangements to pay for the
building had been agreed upon and
that its construction was a certainty.
The Fraternal Savings Bank and
Trust Company has grown consider
ably of late, according to Ward. It's
deposits are now near the 500,0 00
mark and its business has ~broadened
until it numbers among it's customers
some of the most substantial Colored
people of Memphis and adjoining
towns.
At S:45, accompanied by a large
delegation of Memphis most distin-
guished ladies and gentlemen, we left
the banquet table for the Union Sta
ton, where we boarded our special
car for the next stop, Birmingham,
Ala, of which we will speak in our
next issue. All in all Memphis is one
of the greatest and most progressive
cities visited by our delegation on the
entire trip.

what is usually done with undesirable

this case to build a spite fence"

general understanding of the work
being done by the new Army. the

to follow their example, particularly
under conditions which now prevail

AWFUL BARN FIRE
IN R0SENDALE
Seventy-Five Head of Live Stock
Burned Night Of May 3rd.

Emelius Nelson, a farmer living one
mile from Rosendale in Danielson
Township sustained a loss of about
$50, 0,0OO when his new barn burned
down with all it's contents including
fourteen horses, forty-two cattle and
nineteen sheep, between the hours of
nine and twelve Monday evening, May
3rd. Only $4,000 insurance was car
ried. The following details are CLEAN
ed from Meeker County exchanges:
There is no certainty as to the origin
of the fire and the only cause that they
think at all possible is from the saso-
line engine that they used the same day
to grind feed
Mr.. Nelson and his daughter We're the
only ones at home at the time. They
did not discover it until they saw the
The telephone called neighbors and with
their assistance the house and granary
which were in the path OF the flames
different times The tire had got to the
stage where nothing could be done to
check it's spread and the entire destruc-
tion of the building was certain.
The barn was about a hundred feet
long, ana was coated with galvanized
iron. The barn was comparatively new
and was we'll equipped. Among the
fixtures was d milking machine. The
loss also included tons of hay and
other feed: The next morning the
skeletons of the cattle could be seen
just as thy had been tied in their stan
rhions the night previous. 1t was a
sad sight to see the dead stock, all
above the average breeding and value,
lie dead in the ruins.
This is the heaviest property loss
that has ever befallen a farmer in the
history Of this section of the state.
