God wishes us ot suffer when we

An ingenious doctor answered, to

Notice
The Milledgeville Clearing House Association, the four
Banks of the city comprising the membership, wish to make
the following announcement in persuant of a rule adopted
at a recent meeting of the association:
Banks have for a long time realized their losses from
smalll checking accounts—the smaller the balance and more
active the accounts, the greater the loss. In applying a service
charge, it is not a matter of making money, but saving it. We
feel that the unprofitable account should at least bear part
of the loss incident to earning it on the books, and we
sincerely trust the charge will not have to be applied to a
single account. We trust that customers carrying a balance
of $50.00 or less will increase their balances so as to enjoy
the sen-ice of the bank free, as heretofore, and without
entailing loss to the banks. The co-operation of friends and
customers in eleminating losses of this kind is asked. One
of the weakest points in the southern business world is the
fact that a large proportion of our people are accumulating
neither money or property. The first duty of every one.
in a business way, is to gain financial independence, and
this can be done only by saving a part of what we make. It
is our hope to see every bank patron have money ahead for
emergencies, opportunities, or for current use as the case may
be.
