A FITTING DESIGN FOR i

The first calender of the Bank
of Rockdale is before the public, i
The picture upon it is at once rep

institution it proposes to represent.
It was a fine conc.pt on the part
of some one of it. officials in his

unwilling that so choice a produc

pass unnoticed, at lnrt w.thon

This picture portrays this faith¬
ful friend in the attitude of repose.
It is not the rest of indifference,
but the quietude of strength and
confidence. No wild storm, break
ing others peace, producing a pan
ic that would bring forgetlulnsss
of duty, can shake his rehauce up
on himself or cause a moments
alarm as to the final success of his
undertaking. Whatever storms
arise in financial centers,

His white front feet us
of the clean handed, scrupulously
honest men under whose guidance
this comparatively new enterprise
of Rockdale comity has begun its
carter. Not a dollar o. tainted
money is or ever will be within its
vaults, and justice with even bal

and man. Not the bliud-folded
croddess of ancient mythology but
the keen eyed, clear brained and
alert Christian goddess shall meas¬
ure to each his rights according to
the golden rule.
