Bank Deposits Increase

were again very good particu-
larly when you take into con-
Sideration that the interest paid
on our savings for the last half
of the year were double our us
ual rate. This change cost us
a gross figure of about eighteen
thousand dollars. Regardless of
this and other increased operat-
ing cost, we still were able to
increase our undivided profit &C
count by better than thirty-two
thousand dollars. In addition
to this we added five thousand
dollars to our reserves, increas-
ing them to a total of forty
thousand dollars, paid off one
third, or eight thousand dollars,
on the premium paid on loans
purchased from The Central Ma
tional Bank, and better than five
thousand dollars on our Bank
ing House and Furniture and
Fixtures. One other item which
does not show on our statement,
but is a definite asset, is a prem
ium paid on Municipal Bonds
purchased during the year. 1t
has always been our policy to
carry all of our bonds on our
statement at cost or par value,
whichever is smaller. This tends
to give us a bond account of
greater value than that shown
in our statement. The amount
charged off in this manner in
1851 amounted to about thirteen
thousand three hundred dollars.
All of these items of course were
in addition to the twelve thous-
and dollars paid as dividends
to our stockholders.
"As you can see, this policy
of turning back in to the Cor
poration, such a large share of
our earnings will eventually pay
off to the stockholders in either
larger cash dividends or posi-
bly, stock dividend as was paid
in 1850. In the meantime, your
Bank is we'll fortified with re-
serves, and the book value of
your stock is increasing year by
year.
THE stockholders of the Bank
should each and every one be a
salesman out selling our Bank
to the public at all times. With
your continued support as we'll
as that of your Directors, Offic-
ers, and employees, we again
look forward to greater prosper
ity."

MACS HEAD HAD
BIG SOCIAL LIFE
100 YEARS AGO
Was Then a Popular Resort
For All Eastern Car
DINA Society

A letter addressed to Miss Vir.
ginia Hodges, SHADES Creek, Hyde
County, N. c., mailed in Edentor
SO years ago, by Mr.. John w
Giles, carried a formal invitation
saying, "The pleasure of your com
pany is respectfully solicited al
a BALL, to be given at the Mays
Head Hotel, on Thursday, the 18th
day of September, 1853.
The Hodges family was then as
now among the most prominent OF
the region.
The envelope and the invitation
it contained are priced relics neat
ly framed in the cottage of Mrs,
Alice X. Grice, one who loves
Mays Head and glories in it's ira
ditions. The old invitation speaking
for itself indicates that Mays Head
was a greater resort for its time
in the days before the Civil War,
than it is now. Considering the dis
tances and the difficulties of ira
vel when there were no trains, and
all passing was by sailboat OF
steamer, and considering the dis
tinguished people who appeared
upon the list of managers, it is
readily seen that Mays Head was
then the most important seaside
resort in the east. And even at
September 18th, the season had
not closed.
The managers of this ball num-
bered % people from the most dis
tinguished families of Eastern
North Carolina, and tidewater Vir-
GINA, Edenton, Elizabeth City,
Hyde County, Washington, Hert-
ford, Norfolk, and other towns
were represented. Here is the list
of names:

rick, Joshua C. Skinner, Alexan-
der Dixon, Stephen D. Pool, Will
liam C. Wood, Chas. w. Skinner,
Jr., DR.. o. B. Savage, John w.

Wynne, Jr., Dated Mays Head,

Eight Years Before the Civil War
This ball, no doubt, was the fl
nal affair of the season. One can
let his mind drift to the glories
of the ante-bellum days and pic
ture the excitement with which
the event was anticipated. One
can imagine plans being made to
travel by carriage from the inland
points like SHADES Creek, or other
towns to the nearest steamboat
landing and thence to embark for
Mays Head. It must have been a
thrill to journey across the waters
to the steamboat landing at Mays
Head to go ashore there to a ho-
tel that had no plumbing, no lights
and perhaps no screens against
mosquitoes. But this, in no whit,
lessened the glitter and the CLAM
our and the excitement of the &C.
casion, where romance blossomed
and hopes bloomed or died as to-
day.
When one considers how popu-
lar Mays Head was in those days
decade before the Civil War,
when patronage was great enough
to warrant a large hotel at this
inaccessible place, it is safe to say

the broad seas-starvation,

the broad seas-starvation,
Observation-Disclosures the en-
quilting darkness of night,
The end of their dream, the
crumbling of their new creation.
Endless days of watchful waiting,
waiting for white sails
On the horizon, white sails of
ships, again returning
From the Homeland-laden with
food-reassurance-with hope;
Days that were smothered in the
ashes of vain yearning;
Dreamers of dreams, held in the
rude grasp of that great I'm
pulse,
Which drove them across treach-
'rous seas into a land unknown,
Now held in the gathering
shadows of tragedy,

JUST TRY THIS

If the day looks kinder gloomy,
And your chances purity slim,
If the situations puzzlin'
An the prospects awful grim,
An perplexities keep pressin',
Till all hope is nearly gone,
Just bristle up and grit your teeth,
An keep on keepin' on.

THE
LOST COLONY
BY CHARLES DAY,
Late POet-Laureate of Norfolk
Newspapers)

This is haIlowed land! The muir
muring waters kiss the shore
On which once trod the weary feet
of men and women seeking new
life;
A better day, a wider scope for
their endeavor and their dream,
Escape from persecution, the bit
terness of ceaseless strife.
Men of adventure, who sought to
carve out of the wilderness
A new world-a world that would
give them as freely as they gave
Of rich crops, wheat, grain and
corn-a new destiny,
Yea, the very soil of this new land
would be their slave.
They came - these gentle folk -
dreamers! They came into a land,
Banded together, to survive or
perish, one thought in mind
A new world, world of happiness,
a world of peace.
Old England .. let her hold all
that was ill as her own, behind;
IVisionist = eager to match
strength with strength, life with
life,
To brave the great unseen f.
knowing not what it held, and
caring less,
They had dreamed their dream,
and now stood on the threshold
of new world,
No turning back . the die was
cast, to them failure or success.
That was the spirit binding ad-
venturous souls together,
Holding them as one-men and
women, each ready to fill
His or her part-each the keeper
of a priceless dream,
Defending it with their very lives,
indomitable will,
Never once doubling that virgin
fields would give them willingly.
Had they not left England with
hopes high and courage to mould
A Paradise. haven of peace that
would live after them,
And to each generation-yet I'M
born-new joys unfold?
Builders, creators, conquerors of
the unconquerable!
Standing at the outpost of a new
civilization,
Asking, in all reverence, the guild
ance of their Living God,
Fulfillment of their every hope
complete realization,
Drawing all-perils seen and perils
misunderstanding their dream,
Seeking to conquer all the vast
ness, great hills of white sand,
To bring out of the unstirred
bosom of earth
New life, new homes, wrought by
the ceaseless toll of human hand.
And so they toiled-struggling-
unyielding, facing each obstacle
AS it came, giving and taking, yea,
even of life so dear,
Defending that which they held
close, their loved ones, their
homes,
Their all, against the onslaught of
savage tribes, lowering near;
Hoping against hope that out Of
the vast darkness
Their songs would be heard, re-
echoing throughout all the earth,
Hymns of conquest, their thirst for
adventure put aside,
A new nation-a new world, con-
ceived in peace, had found its
birth.
And the days passed, summer
giving way to fall-then winter,
Cold, bleak, hardships came in the
somber clothes of sorrow.
Hopes began to fade-f aith-
wandering in the darkness,
