Sec I Many Speeches Made Advo cating Re-Opening Of The First National Bank THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS PLEDGED The citizens of the town and County met In the court house last Friday afternoon to discuss the de sirability of re-opening the First ?-?, National Bank, which closed its doors on the 12th of October. It wag stated that the Comptroller of the Currency had advised that he would allow the bank to re-open upon certain conditions, two of these being; First. That the stock holders get together fifty thousand dollars, for the purpose of charging off that amount of slow and doubt ful papers. Second: That ninety per cent of the depositors would sign an agreement to leave their deposits with the bank for a per iod of four years, if that length of time was necessary, without interest The meeting was largely attended and many of the prominent citi zens of the town and County ad dressed the meeting, all being un animous that it would be largely for the best interest of every one if the bank could open again. There are three parties to the transaction directly interested, the stockholder, the depositor and the borrower, and each of these will profit largely by the bank resuming business. As it is today they all stand a chance for a loss, certainly the stockholder will lose, for he will be called on for the amount of his stock in case the bank does not pay the deposi tor in full; the borrower will be hard hit if the affairs of the bank are speedily wound up, and if the loans do not pan out well the de positor will hardly get one hundred cents on the dollar. This was all plainly brought out by the speak ! ere, and with these facts being em phasized it was decided to go rap idly ahead with the proposition to | open the bank again at the earliest possible date. signatures were received from the stockholders, and the deposi tors, and before the close of the meeting nearly twenty thousand dollars was pledged, and many sig natures from the depositors pledg ing to leave their money for four years, if neceffary. The papers are Still in circulation and every one Is hoping the necessary amount will soon be pledged. Wednesday morning: When the committees gathered In the ofBoe of the Building and Loan Association last night they reported $30,000 signed up. Little doubt Is now felt as to the final result, and it is hoped to complete the Job in the next few days. GHOSTS WALKING SATURDAY NIGHT ? ?
