This bank loans money. That's
the way we make our living.
But we don't loan money foolish
ly nor for imprudent purposes.
It is our ambition to see this

cidedly to our advantage to see

tho community prospers our de
posits will be Increased and we
will have more money to loan. It
can readily be seen, therefore,
that wo cannot consistently loan
money for any purpose not con
ducivo to the best interests of tho
community in general and tho
borrower in particular. On this
basis this bank loans money glad

instructed to arrest all - violators
and take them before the town

School Grounds Fixed Up.
On several occasions attempt
had been made to get enough
citizens interested in civic im
provement to cleun, level and
seed to grass the school house
grounds, but it was not until last
Saturday that the a ork was ac
complished. As is always the
case in such matters, the number
showing up for work was but few
compared with the number of pat- j
rons of tho district, but those pres-1
ent meant business and under the
supervision of L. Y. Matthews,
who had betn elected foreman,
most of the job was completed in
the one day and the balance the
first of the week.
A grand dinner was served to
tho workers at noon and it is
needless -to say that the way . the
"grub" disappeared was remark
able, yet it scorned to act as a
stimulant for the way tho men
mado "the dirt fly" iri tho. after
noon was something" great.
Replacing the fences wiCh sdme
thing more in keeping with the
building and grounds, putting in
concrete walks, and other im
provements are planned, 'and it
is to bo hoped that all patrons of
tho school will lend assistance.
