BANK STATEMENTS SHOW Fl
NANcIAL CONDITION

Some very interesting information
as to the financial condition Of Tip
ton county is found in the statements
Of the banks Of the county at the
close Of business on November Is,
The statements show that the cost
Of the crops that are now being
marketed came high, the banks show
ing loans and discounts Of $2,213,-
76L01- The greater portion Of this
amount was loaned to the farmers Of
the county. The county has on de-
post in its hanks S2,l56,897.42. This
would indicate that the county is in
a fairly prosperous condition, in the
face of the fact that cotton is selling
at its lowest figure since 1914, as at
the time Of the statements the pro-
ceeds of this years crop were not
all in by at least One-third.
The banks Of the county are in a
good, wholesome condition, showing
cash and sight exchange to the
amount of $5O9, 462.47. The capital
Of the banks of Upton county is
greater than many of the adjoining
counties, having capital of $780,
900, with surplus and undivided
profits fund of s1S9,919.S4. The
statements show the total resources
of the banks at $S,24O,962.7S.
The figures show that the banks of
the county have over half milliSn
dollars capital, with over half mil
lion dollars in available cash.
Several banMrs state that the
loans and discounts are being d.
daily A good many people
who have been holding Liberty bonds
in reserve are selling these in order
that the carry-over will not be $50
burdensome.
From these figures it will be seen
that our county is still in fair finan-
cial condition and through the rift Of
the clouds the clear horizon may be
seen shining.

A pointer to those who have to buy
flour: You can save from rs cents
to one dollar a barrel on flour by
buying it in sacks instead of in
wood. Besides, you get possession Of
the cotton sacks and that will create
a greater demand for the staple and
help to use up the surplus. This
plan was carried out to considerable
advantage in 1914, when farmers
who had to purchase corn and oats
demanded that they be packed IN
cotton sacks.

IndOrses w. F. BringIe.

Editor LEADER sincerely wish to
join hands with Mr.. Bringle in the
very interesting letter published in
your paper last week in regard to the
much-needed rest room and drinking
fountain for the ladies Of Upton and
adjoining counties, who have to stand
either on the crowded streets or in
some store, where they find neither
ease nor comfort.
Let every citizen join with Mr..
Bringle and help to bring about this
much-needed improvement.
Hoping to to hear from every man
in this and adjoining counties through
the columns of your paper for the
betterment of our town and county.
Respectfully,
w. G. DAVID.

nual meeting, from custom. from
generation to generation, has become
part and parcel of this congrega-
ton. But for some time past is
time Of meeting has been changed to
thanksgiving day, combining the two

propliate to hold them together.
IN this last annual meeting We
noticed tae leaders Of the church
work were principally the younger
men OF the congregation. We doubt

Inc chairman of the meeting was
Prof. c. 7. Fleming and the seerr-

Mr.. Shannon Faulkner was reelected
Sabbath school superintendent and
Mr.. j, L. Moore, assistant superin.
tendent, and Miss Margaret Draffin.

urer.
We noticed one special feature ar

special fund comes from the Sabbath

Thanksgiving services a liberal Of

features Of the day which followed
the business meeting, and service
IN which everybody, old and Young.
men, women and children an and
strangers, too, are invited to par.

friends and acquaintance from many
other communities, who had come to
enjoy Thanksgiving at this old his

After an hour or more in social
intercourse, each one began vending

Some Helpful Suggestions.

Editor Leader-The greatest draw
back 20 the South today in financial
way is too much credit and too much
cotton.
If the farmer ever gets relief
from the system under which his cot
ton is now marketed he will have to
take the initiative himself.
The national slogan on the high
cost Of living is buy your flour by the
barrel and bake your own bread.
Now and the immediate future are
the best times to make money since
1914. Get busy, look around you,
think little, take in the situation
and throw your pessimism to the
winds. %**

We have it on the best authority
that Covington is the best cotton
market on the Illinois Central line.
While the market was weak here for
a few days this week, it strengthened
to 3 great extent Wednesday, and
there have been buyers in the market
every day since the opening of the
season, while at many points in West
Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas
buyers have often been out of the
market, refusing to offer any price
for the staple.

Another Endorsement Of w. f..
Bringle's Letter.

Editor Leader-As Mr.. w. r.
Bringle has invited all those who
want to say amen to mis- letter in the
plea for rest room, jury room and
fountain, want 10 say amen in the
most emphatic way. There never
was anything more needful. When
women and children 60 to your town
there is nothing for them to do after
they are through their shopping but
10 pass away the time on the streets.
There is not hotel but that the
lobby is. stuffed with smoke until it
isn't pleasant for men, much less the
weaker sex. And / have heard SO
many say that a day in your town
was almost like a day in Jail. And
then ask the question, Why? The
people are whole-hearted, true and
very kind. Oh, can tell you after
the shopping is done and the business
attended to there lis no place for rest,
no, place to 20 and be comfortable.
And now, dear friends, let's bend
all our energies. This being the
county seat 81 our county, it be-
hooves everyone Of us to make this
the most beautiful and comfortable
place in the county, and am sure
each justice of the peace will uphold
every good move along this lineaAnd
may / say again, | heartily endorse
Mr. Bringle's move.
