CITIZENS BANK PROSPERS
Has Good Year and Declares Usual
Twelve Per Cent Dividend.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Citizens Bank was held
in the office of the bank Monday af
ternoon, nearly all the stock being
represented. A detailed report of
the past year’s business was made by
the officers, which made a very grati
fying showing, in spite of the bad
financial conditions which have pre
vailed for a good part of the time.
This is true, too, in the face of the
severe loss which the bank sustained
in the loss of its long-time and val
ued cashier, Mr. C. H. Humphrey,
who died nearly a year ago, and the
death of its honored president, Mr.
C. 0. Summers.
Asa result of the success the bank
has had during the year a dividend
of 12 per cent was declared, which
left something over $4,000 undivided
profits from the net earnings of the
year. This is regarded as an un
usually fine record. The stock is
now worth S2OO a share.
Mr. W. M. Warren, who became
cashier some months after the death
of Mr. Humphrey, and officers were
given a vote of thanks for the man
ner in which they had managed the
bank’s business.
The officers and directors elected
for the coming year are as follows:
L. A. Collier, president; D. L. Ander
son, first vice president; Riley Sum
mers, second vice president; W. M.
Warren, cashier; M. P. Owen, assist
ant cashier; Joe Adams, bookkeeper;
the other directors being J. D. Smith,
A. L. J. M. Means, V. O.
Marshburn, E. Rumble, W. A. Le-
Sueur, M. F. Cochran, J. W. Stocks,
C. E. Suggs and B. H. Hardy, the last
five being new members, added to the
board at this meeting.
The business of the bank is re
garded as on an absolutely sound ba
sis and the prospect for another pros
perous year is most encouraging.
CHANGES IN TRUSTEES
Hon. W. T Anderson, editor of
the Macon Telegraph and Hon. T. R.
Talmadge, chairman of the Board of
Education of Monroe county, were
here Tuesday attending a committee
meeting of the Sixth District A. &

in the trustees recently. Because of
the creation of Lamar county, Gov
ernor Hugh M. Dorsey appointed B.

appointed Senator R. C. LeSueur of
Roberta as the trustee for Crawford,
this county not having had a repre
sentative on the board since the
change in districts several years ago.
Each was appointed for a term of
four years.
