KING TO HAVE BANK Bank of Stokes County Mav Establish Branch At That Place. King, Stokes county, is one of the prettiest and nicest towns in Stokes county, and is the home of some of our best people. They are kind-hearted, wide awake and hospitable, and are at one in idea and effort for the upbuilding of their town. King is surrounded by a splendid agricultural country. A week's travel in the State will not reveal a country richer in natural resources, nor one populated with more prosperous and thrifty people, than Yadkin township. Its soil is strong and of varied possibilities. The people of King and sur rounding country want a bank, and have extended an invitation to the stockholders and directors of The Bank of Stokes County to co-operate with them in provid ing banking facilities. The matter it now under advisement, with every prospect that King will have an up-to-date bank at a very early date. Seralon Germanton, N. C., April 14. —The Germanton school will close Friday.
