The attention of The Gazette's
readers is especially directed to the
statements of the Citizens National
Bank and the First National Bank
which appear in to-day's paper. A
careful reading of these statements
will show these banks to be in most
excellent shape notwithstanding the
recent stringency in the financial
world. While the law requires a re
serve of only fifteen per cent the
local" banks have on hand a reserve
amounting to twenty-five per cent
They were never, in better shape, than
at present.
