Bank Meetings.
At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the First National Bank, held
last Tuesday, the past year’s transac
tions were officially reviewed, and it is
scarcely necsssary to add that the
showing made was entirely satisfactory.
Indeed, with a capital and surplus of
8110,000, deposits amounting to 8100,-
000, nearly 810,000 of undivided profits,
(exclusive of the semi-annual dividend
of 3 per cent.) and not a dollar of in
solvent claims, the stockholders have
ample cause for gratulation. Sowell
pleased were they, in fact, with the
showing thus made that the old board
of directors were continued in office by
a unanimous vote. The action of the
directors, at a recent called meetin
in promoting Mr. P. B. Murphey to
the position of cashier, and appointing
Mr. H. H. North assistant cashier, was
promptly ratified. The election of Olive
E. Berry as a director was also approv
ed, she being continued as a member of
the board for the ensuing term.

subsequently, the old officers v r ere re
confirmed, viz.: W. B. Berry, president ;
J. D. Berry, vice-president; P. B. Mur
phey, cashier; H. II. North, assistant
cashier.
The directory now stands as follows:
W. B. Berry, A. B. Calhoun, H. J.
Sargent, J. D. Berry and Olive E.
Berry.
A semi-annual dividend of 3 per cent,
was declared, payable on demand.

A special from LaGrange to the Co
lumbus Enquirer-Sun of yesterday con
tains the following account of an acci
dent w r hich befell one of the most pop
ular conductors on the Atlanta and
West Point road: “Yesterday as the
north-bound freight was pulling out
from the depot, Mr. James Cole, the
conductor, was standing on the steps
and his head hit a freight-car which
was standing on a siding too close to the
main line, knocking him off the car and
inflicting two ugly gashes on his head.
Mr. Cole is very badly hurt, but his
friends here do not think dangerously
so. He was carried up to Hogansville,
and we hope will soon be again at his
post of duty.”
Judge T. C. Carleton was the happy
recipient of an elegant gold-headed
silk umbrella last week, a New Year’s

membered by her Liberum friends, re
ceiving several handsome presents.
Mr. H. T. Patterson, of Sunny Side,
Ga., has invented a plow sweep that is
the best implement of the kind that we

vastly more serviceable in every way.
Mr. Patterson was in the cityjyesterday

dealers.

The annual meeting of the stockhold
ers of the Newman National Bank was
held last Tuesday, considerably more
than a quorum of the stock being repre
sented. The report of the operations
of the bank for the preceding six months
was a most gratifying exhibit, and the
excellent management of the affairs of
the institution was complimented on
all sides. For the six months ending
January lOtli the net earnings were
83,431, while the deposit fund .had in
creased fully fifty per cent. The
transactions of the bank during the
period mentioned were the heaviest in
its history, yet there is less than 8100
of past due paper on the cashier’s file,
and even that is amply secured.
