and I think he injures his cause every

his class, aud I think he has fonud it
out himself by this time. Hoke Smith
is a trained debater, and lie has the best

MEETING OF DIRECTORS.
At a meeting of the Board Directors
of the Milledgeville Banking Co. this
morning, the statement of the cashier,
Mr. M. S, Bell, showed a very material
increase in the business of this success
ful iustitutiou. During the six mouths
past the amount of business done exceeds
all former records by a flattering figure,
and the amount carried to the surplus
fund is greatly iu excess of all previous
earnings that have heretofore beeu
given this direction by the officers of
the bank.
A semi-annual dividend of six per
cent was declared to all stock holders.
The State Bank examiner has just
gone through the books of the bauk and

ing it to be oue of the best regulated and
