The directors of the First National Bank held their semi-annual
meeting on Monday the 3rd inst., paying their usual quarterley
"
The First*National Bank is on a 12 per cent dividend
basis, paying out 3 percent every three months. The First Nation-
.
a ] R an k is first among the banks of this section as a money maker
nd stands out pre-eminently ip a class by itself as to the rate of
! its dividends and the quarterly payments. ’
Interviewing the officers of the bank, it develops that the first
; si;; months of this year have probably been the most prosperous in
, the history of the institution, it being a remarkable fact that the
- deposits of the First National have increased during the summer
j months instead of decreasing as is the usual rule in agricultural dis-
[ triets.
The First National Bank has a very strong following through-
out this section, having also taken the lead in the development of
the various enterprises of our county, and has taker* especial
est in developing the agricultural interests, the management of the
bank realizing that our farming resources are of great importance,
and no effort is spared on the part of the officers and directors of
this institution to look after the interests of the farming commun-
fty. The and under which this *
cotton corn contests bank pays
premiums each year to farmers have proven of great'benefit to the
interests, and the enthusiasm manifested on the part of
this years contestants means that that a stimulus has been given
to the farmers tjo-produce bigger and better crops, and as a result
wonderful things will be done for the agricultural welfare of the
county in a remarkably short time.
The First National Bank is to be congratulated upon its
showing. *
