Quick To Commend Not Afraid To Condemn
COVINGTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY . J. April &
NOTICE!
From and after this date overdrafts
will he discontinued for the reason
given below:
The State Banking Department and
the Comptroller of the Currency of
the United States demand that no
overdrafts be allowed, and besides
this, we have a State law prohibiting
the practice. To do away with the
slightest carelessness of management
and to conform strictly to banking
law, we from now on will allow NO
OVERDRAFTS. If you will look at
the matter in the right way you will
congratulate us on this step, as the
following reasons will show':
FIRST. It is against the ruling of
our State and National Banking De¬
partment.
Second. It means a loss of interst
on money, for an overdraft is merely
a loan without interest.
THIRD. It means a loss of time
and postage and stationery in send¬
ing out overdraft notices.
FOURTH. It is productive of much
worry, developing into charge-offs,
thereby creating a loss to the bank.
FIFTH. An indication of careless
management and UNFAIR TO THOSE
DEPOSITORS WHO DO NOT OVER¬
DRAW. If one has the privilege all
should and should all do it, it would
mean havoc.
We know that since these matters
are called to your attention, you will
agree with us in taking this course,
for it will make our bank a better
bank and the overdrawing customers
better customers, for they will pay
closer attention to their accounts and
thus make better business men.
If any customer finds that they will
have to give a check for an amount
in excess of their balance, and that
it will be but a few days until they
have the money, w’e will be glad to
have them call personally, write or
phone and make arrangements for a
temporary loan.
Assuring you of our sincere appre¬
ciation of your business and friend¬
ship, that w r e stand ready to help you
in any way possible and that we are
here to serve you, believe us to be,
Yours for better banking,

METHODIST MIL CLOSES
AFTER SUCCESSFUL II
After a successful run of three weeks
the annual revival came to a close at
the Covington Methodist church Sun¬
day night, a large congregation being
present at the final service.
The pastor. Rev. T. J. Christian, was
assisted by Evangelist Morgan Lee
Starke, of New York, who delivered a
series of highly Interesting sermons
thta were productive of much good
among the membership of all denom¬
inations. Dr. Starke is one of the most
prominent evangelists in the Method¬
ist denomination and he lias preached
to thousands of people throughout the
United States since relinquishing news¬
paper work to enter the ministry sev¬
eral years ago.
The love offering for Dr. Starke
amounted to about $500.00, there be¬
ing no contract between him and the
church ,and every penny being volun¬
tarily contributed.
About thirty-five new members were
received into the church and the entire
membership was benefited and refresh¬
ed spiritually.
The music of the large choir and
orchestra under the able direction of
It. L. Hicks was an inspiring feature
of the entire series of services.
