C„ TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 9, 1929 SIX PAGES TODAY NUMBER 30 Local Bank To Open Branch In Bunn Aronik! May is! First and Citizens Na tional Bank Changes From National To State Bank In Order To Open Branch; Will Have Trust de partment The First ami Citizens National Bank, at a meeting held' here Friday afternoon of its stock holders in which 1508 out o: 1750 shares were represented, made changes in its charter which will convert this institution from a national bank to a state bank, thus permitting- the bank to en large its scope of activities and to render service to a wider ter ritory. The bank will, in future, t>e known as the First Citizens Bank and Trust Company. The immediate purpose for vut- j ing a change in the charter was :o allow the institution to open j i branch bank in the town of Dunn, which is expected t<> be i accomplished between the first j md 15th of May. A national bank | s not permitted to open a branch i n towns with less than 25.00(1 inhabitants. This proposition had neon previously worked out by the lirectors, and careful study of the natter and consideration of the Dunn territory as logical and 'easible had been made before the proposition was presented it the .stockholders meeting. Quite i number of business men in Dunn las been enthusiastic over the dea, and support of the branch o he located in Dunn has been nl edged. The entire personnel of the old nstitution goes with the new one ogether with the same board of lirectors. A resolution was adopt 'd permitting the board to se ed three additional directors vhich will bring the total to fif een, the three new ones likely 0 come from the Dunn territory, three active employees, a cashier, resistant cashier, and a bookkeep er, will be in charge of the Dunn The directors and stockholders n reaching the conclusion to open 1 branch in Dunn were prompt 'd to do so in view of the fact hat this institution, which is iow thirty-one years old, has nore capital invested than all of he banks of Harnett county put ogether, and likewise more capi al than all of the banks of Sampson. The change is in line vi-th other changes being made n banking circles of the country, rhe National Bank of Commerce >f New York, which has beep yperatcd as a national bank for •ighty years, and the Hanover National uanK 01 wew ioi-k, near y a hundred years old, have within the last thirty days sur endered their national charters. Phis move places the local insti utioTi in position to take advan age of enlarging its territory, as he Branch Banking & Trust Com pany and the Planters Bank of Wilson have recently done. The bank will now have an ac tive trust department with a ;rust officer in charge. MRS. CLASS HOSTESS ro CLUB.

The vocal union which lias for- I mcily been knowi/ as the Lowe-1 John.-ton Vocal Union will hence foith he known as the Easom V’ical Union in honor of W. M. Easom, who it is said lias done i more to foster country singing than any other man in Johnston :*eunty. Me organized this vocal union several years ago at St. John Holiness church in the low ,*r part of the county. This change was made at the dug held on the fifth Sunday at the Freewill Baptist Church here, which was one of the best sings •ver held by this organization. The meeting was called to order »v the president, S. I’. H-mey •utt, and 11 e v. 11. K. Faircloth .‘omlucted the devotional service, i tailing the 108th Psalm. “All Mail the Bower of Jesus’ Name” wa sung in unison and the va rious choirs rendered selections. A quartet each was sung by the Thomas Quartet and the Phillips Quartet. It is out of the ordinary to take a collection at these sings, but one was taken for helping . to pay the debt off the church. The collection amounted to $128.20, and the members of the church were very grateful for the offer “Under Hi. Sheltering Wing” I vv:i ■; beaut ifully rendered by Mrs. I Nula Barbour ami Shelton Bar- | hour. Mrs. Nola Barbour presided at the piano, and to hear her was a rare pleasure indeed. Mrs, Barbour was the first music teacher at Campbell College, and it is doubtful if there is another pe r son in J o h n st on c o u n t y w h * > can play for any and every cjfoir ] egm dless of former practice amt i do it as well as Mrs. Barbour, j The choirs and their leaders taking part Sunday were: Smith- I field, K.

At this meeting he was called on to explain the suc cessful manner in which such a clinic was operated. He began Ills talk by declaring that he owed a debt of gratitude to Johnston county for an appointment by the board of county commission crs which enabled him to study medicine at the State University forty years ago; that this debt of gratitude was so great that whatever he attempted to do, it' could only be partially repaid, j lie discussed the question of dis j ea.-ed tonsils and adenoids as re lated to the general health of the individual, and declared that muen | of our southern apathy was due to i diseased tonsils and adenoids rath j er than to malaria. 11 is talk met with such warm enthusiasm on the part of the hearers that he was invited to return to the county at his con venience ami conduct other clinics for the removal of tonsils and adenoids for children who need to have this corrective work done, pay the full price. At this time he indicated his. willingness to do considerable Ww.k i.f this sort, without charge, to ...j mv.iy school children of the county, provided it met with the approval of proper represen tative organizations.
