THE MONROE JOrKXAL. Tl'FSDAY. SKPTEMRFR 30. 5 n I fil Bank line Capital $50,000.2 Surplus $90,000.22 This Bank has had since its organization, and will continue to have, the fol lowing guiding principles: SAFETY. Safety First. Safety for the bank, and above all, safety for its de positors. The sum of $90,000.00 has been retained out of the net earn ings of the b?nk as a special and additional fund for the protection of its depositors. This fact puts this bank on the Honor Roll of banks; for very few banks in the United States have set aside this proportion of surplus "to capital and it is sufficient evidence to convince the most skeptical that people who deposit with this bank are absolutely safe. PROGRESS. We are not in the business for a mush room growth. We are, in fact, conservative. Yes, but our object is to be just conservative enough to be able to be truly and safely progressive. We believe in progress along all good lines, and especially progress in civic righteous ness. This bank undertakes not only to make a success for itself, but to help on all its customers and friends to better things. Has it done so? The stockholders are not complaining and the number of people this bank has helped over tight and rough places and on to better things must now be counted by the thousands. COURTESY. It is our purpose not only to safeguard and benefit materially in this world's goods all with whom we deal, but to please and satisfy all our customers to the extent of our utmost patience and ability. To this end, let it be understood that we are always ready and anxious to correct mistakes when convinced that we are in error and we will grant every favor within our power consistent with our duty. If our advice on a business proposition is worth anything, you are welcome to it, and we will take and safely keep your valuables until you call for same, and especially your Liberty Bonds. In short, we are trying to do everything for our customers and the public that any sound bank ought to do, and it is upon this basis that we invite your deposits, your confidence and yourfriendship.

He spent just three days at Camp Meade last October and all that time he stood watch over a hirthday cake which the company baker had just prepared for his Co. O.

The Oastonia Gazette. The news that Mr. and Mrs. So-and-so have sailed for Southampton and Le Havre on the steamer Luxnrla will doubtless continue to be duly re corded in the American press in fu ture exactly as It was In the pacific past. Only the item will not have the same Import. It will recall to the minds of some thousand men certain former trips on that sam1 Luxoria when she carried two six-Inch guns aft. several lower decks with hunks In tiers, and a mess that rang ed all the way from fair to rotten. The So-and-sos may stick to the old beaten path, and visit Taris, the Brlt tanv coast. Alx-les-Halns and the 'fM'ilillls of the Pyrenees. Or they may Journey across the old battle- fields, tens of thousands strong. It natters not which, or both they will ercf-s and re-cross, wherever they go, I the trail of the doughboy. If half the hefore-the-yar delight of being a tourist consisted In its ex- I clusiveness in the fact that "everv- 1 hodv can't do this" thn that half I l.i gone. ' Irm after It will be no distinction for Mrs. Fo-and-o to Mention casu ullv under her lorgnette the fact thai she passed a week one winter at Nice. So did her Iceman.
