CROP PROSPECTS
3ENERALLY GOOD.
The weather bureau’s summary of
crop conditions in Arkansas for the
week ending July 20 is as follows:
Seasonable temperature prevailed
during the week; light to copious
local showers occurred, but a good
general rain would be beneficial to the
growing crops. Cotton is small for
this season of the year, but has made
rapid growth, is forming well and be
ginning to bloom; some is being laid
by. Corn is nearly all laid by in gen
erally good condition, but in many
sections is beginning to suffer for
want of moisture. The early crop is
about made and prospects are favor
able for a fair yield. The harvesting
and threshing of wheat and oats are
progressing; light yields are being
secured. Early potatoes of good
quality are being harvested, and in
some sections the late crop is being
planted. Gardens and pastures, as a
rule, are in good condition. Peaches
are a failure and apples are scarce and
of inferior quality.

Whereas, By satisfactory evidence presented to the
undersigned, it has been made to appear that “THE FIRST
NATIONAL BANK OF NEWPORT,” located in the City of
Newport, in the County of Jackson and State of Arkansas, has
complied with all the provisions of the Statutes of the United
States, required to be complied with before an association shall
be authorized to commence the Business of Banking;
Now Therefore, I, Thomas P. Kane, Deputy and Acting
Comptroller of the Currency, do hereby, certify that “THE
FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF NEWPORT” located in the
City of Newport, in the County of Jackson and State of Ark
ansas, is authorized to commence the business of Banking as pro
vided in Section Fifty-one hundred and sixty-nine of the Re

In Testimony Whereof witness my hand and

This Bank has an authorized
CAPITAL of $100,000.00.
An authorized and subscribed Capital is a convenient thing—
good thing for advertising purposes, but to be perfectly honest,
and tell our patrons the truth, it really counts for little. We r
could have had, just as easily, a Subscribed Capital of
$500,000. It would not have cost us one cent more.
What our patrons are really interested in knowing is, this
Bank has invested in its business, of ITS OWN MONEA
$58,000.00 OF CASH PAID IN CAPITAL and iundvided
protits. That is the reason this Bank is prepared to take good
care of your business. And we assure you that MORE CAPI
TAL WILL BE PAID IN as soon as we believe it can be safely
and profitably invested.
