Ga. National Bank
Takes Over Citizens
First National Bank
Announcement was made early
Friday afternoon of the consum¬
mation of an atr^tment whereby
the Georgia National Bauk takes
over the assets of the Citizens First
National Bank, both of Albany,
and guarantees th * payment of all
depositors of the latter institution.
The Citizens First National
closed its doors on February 13.
At that time it had something more
than a half million dollars of de¬
posits on its books, and the first
concern of interested parties has
been to fully safeguard those in
whose uames these deposits were
held. A committee has been at
work on the matter for some four
mouths.
Those who are thoroughly con¬
versant with conditions believe
that the arrangement just com¬
pleted, is the best that could possi
bly be made.
It guarantees that depositors
will receive their money in full.
>It renders unnecessary a receiver¬
ship and expensive liquidation of
assets, or further investment of
jcapi/ Tt - , —iu
ty of suspense and uncertainty,
and will, ub doubt, have au im¬
mediately strengthening and stim¬
ulating effect.
The Georgia National Bank
agrees to pay the depositors of the
Citizens First Nation Bauk oue
third on Jauuary 1, 1925, one
third Tanuary 1, 1926, and one
third January 1, 1927 Certificates
of deposit will be issued by the
Citizens First Nation and guaran¬
teed by the Georgia National.

IS YOUR WORK HARD?
Many Pelham Polks Have Found How
to Make Work Easier.
What is so hard as a day’s work
with an aching back?
Or sharp stabs of pain at every
sudden twist or turn?
Ihere is n# peace from that dull
ache.
No rest from the soreness, lame¬
ness and weakness.
Many folks have found reliei
through Doan’s Pills. They are a
stimulant diuretic to the kidneys.
Pelham people recommend Doan’s.
B. M. Shiver, Route No. 2, Pelham,
says: “When Ilifted, my back gave
way and I could scarcely raise up. A
severe pain took me in my back. My
kidneys acted too often. Doan’s Pills
cured me of the attack.”

MUNICIPAL DEBTS
INCRESE BILLIONS
The bouded indebtedness of the
m inicpalities of the United States
continues to increase, aud new
securities are beiug issued at the
rate of about a billion dollars au
nually, accoidiug to a commetary
upon the debt of more than two
hundred cities by C. E* Rightor,
cheif accountant, Detroit (Mich )
Bureau of Government research,
contained in the June issue of the
Natioual Municipal Review. A
tabulation gives the classified debt
of the various cities, the net bou¬
ded debt aud the per capita debt
on Jan 1, 1924.
The average per capita debt {
all cities of 2,500 or more is $70.-
80, but the per capita debt ranges
from $258 62 for Norfolk to $10 96
for Quincy, 111., omitting Wash
iugton D. C., which has only a
few old bond issues outstanding
The per capita indebtedness in gen¬
eral is below that of 13 principal
Canadian cities, in which it ranges
from $363.05 iu Edmoator, A -
berta, to $112,02 in Hamilton, On
tario.
Exclusive of New York city,
whose debt increased $49,293,000
during 1923 the average increase
for the 32 cities was $1,450,000
says the Review. “Six of the 32
cities reported a reduction in their
total debt. Municipal bouds are
being issued iu excess of a billion
dollars annually, but maturities
are not yet at that rate. As might
be expected, t ie teadeucy of debt
is to increase with the population.

HOLDERS OF TELEPHONE
STOCK NUMBER 300,000
The registered shareholders of
the American Telephone and Tele
graph Company have now passed
the 300,000 mark which is a gain
of more than 19,000 over the num¬
ber on December 31 last. The
total gain for 1923 was 32,224.
No other American corporation
has so large a number of stock¬
holders. The number has grown
from 7,500 in 1900 to 40,400 iu
1910, to 139,400 in 1920, aud now
it is more than 300,000 In the
short space of three years the uum
ber has more than doubled. This
stock is all held in America, with
the exception of about 1 per cent,
so that in every sense of the word it
is truly an American corporation.
