He lost a good deal of money, no doubt, during the past few years, due to the slump in the price of farm products, but a large part of this was regained by holding on to most of his eotton, which can now bo sold at elose to 25 cents per pound.

Inc. says ths number of depositors who have Joined ths Christmas dub and the amount they have saved furnishes ample art- lenee of the truth of the old proverb, 'A penny saved la n penny earned."

I., Is one or the first banks in this district with a Christmas club to announce the distribution of Christmas savings to depositors in the club.
