In another column will be found the statement of the above well known banking institution, which will speak for itself. The temi-annual meeting of tile board of directors was held yes terday morning, and after going over the affairs of the bank the board, in stead of declaring a dividend, passed up about four and a half per cent of undivided profits to the surplus fund This is a most creditable showing and speaks well for the manner in which the business of the bank has been managed. This bank hue only been in business about two years, comparatively short time, and not withstanding the panicky condition of the financial world and the universal lack of confidence on llio part of the people in all banking institutions, it has enjoyed a paying business from the start and made a good interest on the money invested.
