A typographical error made Messrs oiarK crews Co. say m their New Year's card that "no very 'natural' change In prices (of tobacco) may be looked for during the season," when It should have read that "no very material cnange In prices may be looked for during the season." But we know our friends will pardon this slip of the hand, as they are aware that it is as "natural" for a printer as well as other people to make mistakes as it is for tobacco to naturally bring the highest prices at Stark Crews Co.

This the directors did. Net earnings for the past twelve months were $4,000 or 16 per cent, of the cap ital, wnicn amount was passed to the surplus fund. Total surplus fund low $8,000 or 32 per cent, of the capital. It is a singular fact that the First National Bank of Oxford has never declared a dividend, thougl it has made good ones, preferring al ways to leave the earnings of the bank so they will be a still further protection to their customers and de positors. It is a wise policy to pur sue and commands the unqualified endorsement of the patrons of the banking fraternity. We congratulate this young and growing institution upon its most excellent showing.
