BANK MEETING.
The Bank of Roxboro Holds Its
Ninth Annual Meeting. f
The annual meeting of :- the
stockholders of the Bank of-Rox-boro
as held in the directors
room last Saturday at 1 o'clock,, p.
111. All of the old officers were
re-elected, and Dr. E. J. ;Tacker'
-.! elected a director. ' WhlW
this bank has been a pnetiominai;?C!
success still, the past year has
eclipsed all previous years., The
report submitted by-the Cashier,
Mr. W. F. Long, was highly !
ratifying and showed the bank
to
be in a most flourishing condi
tion.
A ten per cent dividend was de
clared and paid, which makes 116
per cent the original stockholders
have received since the organiza
tion of the bank only 9 years ago.
We doubt if there is another bank
near by which can show such a
reco i d as this. And in audition to
this they carried ten thousand
dollars to the surplus account.
The statement shows this bank is
almost on the honor roll, that, is
with surplus and profits equaling
the eapital . stock. The capital
stock is $25,000, while ehe sur-,
plus and profits are $22,632.22.
A comparison of the report sub
mitted on Jan. 25, 1913, and the
last annual report, showing how
the Bank has grown, will give you
some idea of the growth of U this
institution. They are as follows:
Kesources: 1913 ' 1914
Loans 174,710.81 ' 311,337.65!
