TWO BANKS
CONSOLIDATE
THE FIRST NATIONAL AND BANK
OF ROXBORO COMPLETE
MERCER
On Last Friday the First National
Bank Absorbed the Bank of
Roxboro and MoftG Over.

| i ??
For several months the two banks,
The First National and tha Bank of
Roxboro, have been making arrangement
for forming a merger, the'First
National taking over the interests
of the Bank of Roxboro. In the deal
the Bank of Roxboro building went
to The First National and they moved
over on last Friday.
iTheh Bank of Roxboro wtas the
second oldest bank in Roxboro and
has been one of the most popular institutions
in. the town, but the Cashier,
Mr. W.' F. Long, having decided
on account of his health to diacontln[
ue his connection with the bank and
| to select a calling which would give
t him more outdoor exercise, it was
| thought wise to merge with The
Firs* National. In order to take over
this bank The First National increased
its capital stock from $70,000.00
to $150,000.00. giving it the largest
capital stocM cf 'any bank in the
'''ifhiadls ' ^a
Pursuance to this change the Board
j\ of Directors of The First National at
a meeting held last week made the
following promotions in their ranks:
R. A. Burch, acting vice-president and
executive manager; T. B. Woodycashier
and assistant to active vicepresident;
B. G. Clayton, who had
been the popular cashier since the opening
the First National, was made
third vice-president; B. W- Gardner,
' Frank H.- Wilson and George Thomas
were elected assistant cashiens.
These promotions were in exceedingly
good taste and the bank is for
tunate in having: such fine material
in their rank*.

several of the old hymns, so dear to
Mr. Harding were sung. Short interesting

altogether forming a very appropriate
occasion.

coolilijg breezes, great s tree he# of
green, its lovely ferns and flowers,
and grand old trees, some of which
are more than a century old surrounding
the house with its elegant furnishing
and modern convenience*,
we took seats upon the porch and proceeded
w<| our mission study.
The first part of the morning lesson
was ably led by Mrs. R. J. Teague,
and the second by Mrs. T. W. Pas*.
Then came the social hour and we ^
gathered upon the lawn and spread
our bounteous picnic dinner upon Hie
table which stands there waiting Just
such days as this. Mr. Holman had
anticipated our coming and had provided
a large tub of ice cold lemonade
and a very large freezer of block
Ice cream. Every one enjoyed this
hour as was proven by the merry
laughter. Jest, pleasant conversa

many good things to eat.
After dinner we assembled under
the "*i t'dy trees where our host had
provided comfortable seats, and
finished our book, "Building With
India," Mrs. J. B. Hurley leading the
third part and Mrs: Mamie Merritt
