This stable institution wheels in line with its usual Christmas present of three dollars per share to its stock holders, as a semi-annual dividend. This can be expected as surely as Christmas and the Fourth of July come around. This company not only makes its dividend of six dollars per share an nually, but keeps on adding to its Reserve Fund, which now exceeds twenty-five thousand dollars. This on a capital of 9120,000.00 is a fine showing. This means that if the busi ness of the company should be wound up, for every one hundred dollars paid in on each share the stockholders would receive one hundred and twenty five dollars. The affairs of this company are ex amined into minutely twice a year by the State Bank Examiners, and the statement is made that there is not a doubtful debt on their books, which is very flattering to the Directors, and must be very satisfactory to the stock holders. This company has been an important factor in building up the city and in assisting persons to get homes. It bandies Savannah money and will not make a loan outside of Chatham county. Every borrower is an advertiser of the business-like methods, and fair treatment they receive. The Peoples Savings and Loan Com pany hold the remarkable record of not having made a loss on any loan made by them since the president, C. H. Dorsett, has occupied that office, which covers a period of seventeen years. Another remarkable fact connected with its history, one that all lenders on real estate will appreciate, is that they have but one piece of real estate on their books, which was foreclosed upon. This with one small piece pur chased as an investment by the former administration, both pieces represent ing about $7,000.00, is the entire real estate holdings. No other company lending on real estate, in this city, can show such a record. This company operates a savings department, which has a large patron- The Labor Herald age among the working people of the city. Their deposits are subject to check at any time, and interest is paid on same four times a year, at the rate of four per cent, per annum. Where a specific amount is deposit ed for a given time, five per cent, per annum is paid. This company is doing a great work among the people of this city in en couraging them to save, ana in help ing them to get homes on easy terms. THE HILTON & DODGE LUMBER COMPANY.

This great concern is one of the largest and one of the fairest employers of labor in this section of the country. In handling an output of ninety million feet per year they give employment to 1,200 men.

PRINTERS’ MORTUARY BENEFIT TO BE VOTED ON NEXT FEBRU YAR The International Typographical Union next February will take a special referendum vote on the prop osition of establishing a mortuary of the international.

It is reported that "drummers” are t; be employed in the census office in Washington to do the figuring so that no mistakes will occur. They should send for that postmaster in Kentucky who had never heard of Chicago, 111.
