■L r. DAYI THURSDAY,. JUNE. mTH.,. ItU. FAIRFAX PROGRESSING AND GROWING RAPIDLY from • Country VilUft to • Modern Little City. Fairfax, June 10.—From a country Tillage with total banking deposits of between $30,000 and $36,000 five years ago, Fairfax, S. C., is a modem liitle city today with total deposits in Ha two banks aggregating approxi- mately $500,000. Just what is res- ponsible for this phenomenal growth, coul^pot be stated with leftnitene/s, but ft is enough to state the fact that Fairfax has made wonderful progress in late years and is still on the up ward grade. Situated on two railroads, the Char leston and Western Carolina and the Seaboard Air Line, this town enjoys splendid transportation facilities, which, with its prosperous farming from which to draw trade, is itly attracting new business in- its. During the past year, its district has been enlarged by addition of eight new brick Bell connections, that la by the Palmetto Telrphonr a local corporation, of which Hr. J. K Johnston is tho president. Mr. John ston is also president of the Citizens' Bank. Judge J. E. Puerifoy is pres ident of the First National Bank. The prosperity and civil pride of the community are reflected in the splendid type of churches. The Bap tists several years ago abandoned a little wooden shack, in which they had •» worshipping, and today they oc cupy an imposing brick building. The Methodists and Lutherans also have creditable houses of worship. Fairfax invested splendidly in the third Liberty Loan, exceeding its quota of $27,400 by $11,100; and like its sister cities has given liberally to the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A. and similar organizations which have-appealed to them. Candidate*’ Card*. FOR CONGRESS. I hereby mmwumu uiyuolf a candi date for the office of TOTAL —.$203,462.62 • ~ / “THE BANK OF SERVICE. J. E.
