This Bank has an authorized
CAPITAL of $100,000.00.
An authorized and subscribed Capital is a convenient thing—
good tiling for advertising purposes, but to be perfectly honest.,
and tell our patrons the truth, it really counts for little. We
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 FI'S OWN MONET
$58,000.00 OF CASH PAID IN CAPITAL and iundvided
profits. That is the reason this Bank, is prepared to take good
care of vour business. And we assure yon that MORE CAPI
TAL WILL BE PAID IN as soon as we believe it can be safely
and profitably invested.

Grover Davidson, a popular young

Pearling was one of the objects of the
party, but so many good things to eat

Our attention has been called to an
article in the Memphis Commercial
Appeal stating that 36,000 yards of as
phalt paving upon four streets of that
city had cost slightly in excess of
$50,000. The paving was of the Ber
mudez asphalt and was put down un
der a ten year guarantee by the
Southern Paving and Construction
Company. No kind of street paving
touches that of asphalt from point of
excellence and when put down under
such a guarantee, another argument
in its favor is added:

Walter Van Brocklin and wife, who

The Knights of Pythias are urged
to attend the meeting tonight, when
J. J. Doyne and B. M. Bartlett of Lit
tle Rock will deliver talks. The visit
ing speakers are expected to arrive
on No. 12 tonight.
Reports from Grubbs and Glaize
townships are to the effect that cotton
squares are dropping badly and in
places even the leaves are all falling
off. Rich woods thus far does not
seem to have suffered from the dry
weather.
Most of the merchants who have
expressed an opinion stand with the
clerks in desiring the extension of the
closing agreement to September 15th.
The summer heat will probably ex
tend thus far if not longer, and as the
fall business will hardly commence
before that date, owing to the late
ness of all crops, it seems a waste of
energy, time and pleasure to curtail
this economical as well as eujoyable
privilege auy sooner than necessary.
The committee appointed' by the
Clerks’ Protective association to in
terview the merchants should have
little trouble in convincing the latter
of the reasonableness of such a re
quest.

RUNNING RISKS
In spite of the possibility of loss by burglars or tire
a great many people continue to keep money
about their homes. By so doing they are not only
risking the loss of money but also their lives. How
much safer it would be if these people would
put their money into a good safe bank. Are you
running such risks?
