In this eermon the fact that Abaighty God wants MEM rather than MONEY. Of count tlbea a man really earrenden him self to God, ell that he possesses gem along with the MAN. This is aa important truth, and one that is not emphasised as tt deservos to be. September the* i,*an election was held in the city of Nashville, Tran., in which three candidate* were vot ed for for mayor of the city. Former Mayor Howae, who has boon a menace to the best Interests of Ac city in which he Uvea, and who baa always ■toad for a Wide Open town, was on* of the candidates. The present mayor, Ewlag, sad William Gcptoa, were iuppartod by the good-government forces, and divided the votes of the beet element in the city, giving to former Mayor How** a plurality of the votes east.

Premium: Ten Dollars in Gold to any boy or girl under eighteen years of age, writing the best essay on above subject. The First National Bank of Dunn waa organised and opened for bufin?",1,1 W,1?04 "***» a “P*4*1 o{ 116,000.00. It now baa a capital and undivided profits amounting to more than 175.000.00. In itaalcond report to The Comptroller of the Currency, which waa 8®pt- 6, 1904, the total deposit# of the bank were leas than 58,000.00. At the present time they are above 5850,000.00. The business of the bank began upon an open countar without bank fix tures ; no President's office nor Cashier's window, but today it owns one of the nicest bank buildings between Richmond, Va., and Charleston. S. C. me nrst umaena was paid by the bank in July 1905, which was only 8 per cent on its capital stock, but since that time It has paid in dividends to its stockholder* an amount more than three times aa great as Its entire capital stock at the beginning. The beautiful building now occupied by the bank is its own prop erty, fully paid for, being built just after the beginning of the Euro pe**1 war when all materials reached their lowest prices for many years, consequently the enhancement in value at present, above the ac tual cost of building then, would give a clear profit of at least Ten Thou sand dollars in the building. The grandeur and coat of the Building indicates a permanency in busineas that no other bank in this section can show, and also manifests a faith in the future of Dunn and community that no other institution has approached, for it would do credit to a city many times the size of Dunn, but this only indicate* a purpose to prepare for the building of a city proportionate to the bank, and the bank la contributing its share to accomplish such results. The First National Bank is not only of local importance In assist ing its customers iu their business and progress, but being a member of The Federal Reserve Bank of this District, associates it with the greatest banking system in the world, and makee It a factor in the finance* of the Nation. This bank makes s specialty of lending money to farmers to ■■■«■> them In the production and harvesting of their crops, thus saving them the difference between cash and time prices on Bummer purchases, and this feature works the greatest possible benefit to the whole country, In that the fanner, who is directy helped, pays the merchant cash for hia goods sod this removes the necessity of the merchant borrowing so much money to conduct his business, and thus the credit of both farmer and merchant is raised to a higher standard, and the prestige of the community abroad is greatly enhanced. The bank has the names dt more than two thousand customers upon its books, and ninety per cent of them are farmers; it mskas more loans to farmers than all the other banks of this section combined; it is indeed THE FARMERS' BANK, but this one fart places its many benefits at the foundation of all business, as the help to the farmers OFFICERS: P.
