BANK OF CUTHBERT
HAS BEEN LIQUIDATED
ASSETS BOUGHT BY FORMER
BOARD OF DIRECTORS. SALE
CONFIRMED BY COURT.

The state department OF banking
| liquidated the affairs of the Bank Of
Cuthbert on Wednesday by disposing
of the assets of the bank to the last
and former directors. For several days
notices had been posted with interest
ed depositors regarding the offer made,
and majority of the depositors inter
ested signed requests to the banking
department suggesting that the props
osition be accepted.
After going into all details an agree
ment was reached and petition pre-
sented to Judge NJ. ]. Yeomans, who
sanctioned the sale of the assets OF
the bank to the directors. Under the
terms of the purchase the directors
are to pay all unpaid preferred claims
in full; all depositors Is per, cent OF
their claim by the 18th of the present
month and IS per cent by January |,
1927, which, with the Is per cent pre-
viously paid will total dividend OF
IS per cent net to depositors; 43 per
cent is to be paid to general creditors
of the bank.
AS is generally known, mbst OF the
banks assets were pledged to other
banks as collateral for loans and these,
along with funds of city and county,
being preferred, have been or will be
paid in full. The banking department,
since it has been in charge in January,
has collected from all sources nearly
100000. Most of this sum has been
paid to preferred and pledged claims,
other than the Is per cent paid to de-
positors. They have on hand S30,000,
most OF which goes to preferred claims
with about $4,000 available Tor dlvl-
dend to depositors.
Our information is that this deal
will be financed by the Fulton Ma
tional Bank OF Atlanta, Ga, which, as
trustee, is the purchaser, holding
all the assets as collateral, and will,
through its local attorney, look al
i ter the balance of the liquidation OF
the assets purchased.
Under the terms of the purchase
the directors are to make the banking
department a strong indemnity bond
to promptly, faithfully and fully carry
out their offer. The suit for 100000,
recently filed by the banking depart
ment against the directors is to be
dismissed.

court and execution of bond, are TO
