The First National Bank of Pleas
antville had the formal opening of
their handsome new banking house on
Thursday from 3 to 8 p. M, when
throngs visited the building and in
spected it from top to bottom. Beau
tiful floral tributes from the two local
banks and out of town banks and
friends were attractively arranged
around the building, making a gor-
geous sight. Souvenirs were distrib-
uted to the visitors.
This bank was the first to begin
business in this city, being organized
in 1902. The deposits have grown
from $4,000 to the present amount of
$1,600,000. The capital stock is
$25,000.

decided to enlarge the establishment.

the old quarters without interrupting
: the banks business. The new build
cost about $150,000. 1t is but one
story high and has every convenience.
In the front there is ladies' rest
room, equipped with writing desks.

CHARLESTON, s. C., July 9-Al- though he has patched" heart, Er- nest Frazier 20, today, was walking around Charleston just as though noth ing had happened to him.
 Two months ago Frazier had a near disastrous fight on the streets here. A knife was produced by his opponent, who inflicted two inch gash in Fra zier's heart. He was rushed to hos pital in what physicians thought was a dying condition. As a last minute effort physicians operated on him and used several stitches in sewing up the wound.
 After the stitching was completed and the wound covered, Frazier de- veloped pneumonia and for days it was thouhgt he would die.
