BANK STATEMENTS
SHOW PROSPERITY
TERRELL UNITY INSTITU-
TIONS IN GOOD CONDITION.
RESOURCES ARE LARGE.

That things" are good in Terrell
county, and its citizens and business
enterprises are enjoying a prosperous
condition is evidenced by the state
ments of the banks of the county re-
Gently published in The Dawson
News.
Not only are these statements of
interest to the layman and ANALYSTS,
but they reflect credit on the banking
institutions and their arrangements,
which rank among the best in the
state operating in an agricultural com
munity, and show that they have
"fathered and mothered" the best in
terest OF the public.
A composite statement of FIVE Of
the banks in the county, the City Ma
tional the Bank OF Dawson, the Daw-
son National bank, the Bank of Par
rott OF Parrot and the Bank OF Sasser
OF Sasser, the Georgia State Bank Of
Brentwood not being included for the
reason it is one OF a group of banks
with the head institution in Atlanta in
their reports OF September 18th, show
total deposits OF $1.548,6l3.45. OF this
amount $l,Z30,52932 represents depos-
its subject to check, the remainder,
$3lS,0S3 being time deposits. Total
loans are $1,368 l42.68. These items
show the mutual confidence enjoyed
by these banks and their patrons, re-
hecting an excellent financial condition
and spirit of reciprocity, and at the
same time indicating substantial
backing in caring for the requirements
of their communities.
The total capital OF the banks is
S440,000.00, with surplus accounts
amounting to $224,000.00 and undivid-
ed profits OF S99,340l7. These amounts
represent the investment by the stock
holders in the institutions. The state
ments show that the banks had on
hand in cash on that date $405, 59755,
and their total resources are $780,
IS81.10.
With the exception OF one, all of
the banks own their own banking
house. All are we'll appointed and
modernly equipped to serve efficiently,
and are carried at total valuation OF
$66,055.40.
These interesting figures are espe-
cially gratifying at this time when, in
the opinion OF many, Terrell county
is on the verge ofo ne OF the greatest
land developments ever known in this
section.

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA.
If Mixed with Sulphur 1t Darkens
So Naturally Nobody
Can Tell

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grandmoth-
er's recipe, and folks are again, using 1t
to keep their hair good, even color,
which is quite sensible, as We are liv-
ing in an age when youthful appear
ance is of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod
uct. improved by the addition of other
ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" 1t is very popu-
lar because nobody can discover it has
been applied. Simply moisten your
comb or a soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and sulphur
Compound, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after few applica-
tons. It also produces that soft lustre
and appearance of abundance which IS
so attractive.

GUARDSMEN'S PAY
HELD UP, IS CHARGE
Officers Order Full Probe of
Alleged Discrimination at
st. EIizabeth's.

Investigation of alleged discrimina-
ton against some employees of St.
Elizabeth's Hospital who are members
of the National Guard of the District
of Columbia has been ordered by Col.
John w. Oehmann. commanding the
1e1st Regiment of Engineers.
1t has come to the attention of the
guard officers that because some of
the employees of the institution at
tended the training camp of the guard
recently held at Virginia Beach, Va,
two have been discharged and the
pay of nine held up. Not only was the
pay during the two weeks of the camp
held up, but the men were denied
their money for the period they work
ed up to the time of departure for
the camp. This refusal to pay has
created unsual hardship in a num-
Der of cases.
Lieut.. Col. Harry E. Gladman, exec
utive officer of the regiment, said to-
day that in view of the fact that the
law provided for such military leave
without in any way affecting the eff
cheney record of the Government en-
ploye, he would start an investigation
Immediately.
Orders Thorough Probe.
Col. Oehmann has directed a specific
inquiry into the case of Isaac Z. Grad
dock of Company E, whose pay is be-
ing held up. He has instructed Maj.
Julian Oliff, commanding the I'd Bat
talon, of which f Company is a part
TO pursue a thorough investigation to
determine just for what reason the
pay of this enlisted man is being de-
MED him. He served in camp under
d military order, and was given a mill
tar yservice certificate, as required by
law, to show that he had performed
the duty.
Practically all of the men affected
it was said, were those who were spe-
officially informed by their supervisors
not to go to camp. Facing the loss
of their civilian jobs on the one hand
if they went, they faced, on the other,
a court-martial if they refused to obey
the military order directing them to
proceed to camp.
Impression of Discrimination.
Officers of the guard point out that
II there is anything against the men

taken before, and not at the time they

Employees of the institution point out
that while in handling the cases Off

never bring these to light on other
employees and focus their attention on
the members of the guard.
