dering his resignation Mr. Smith took
occasion to express his appreciation
of the courtesi^j extended him by the

insight into the duties of a policeman

a good officer*. Mr. Smith gives up

Cotton Is Advancing
We ask that our farmer friends remember us when selling
their cotton. Deposit your cotton checks with us, take a
check book and pay your bills by check on us. This is safer
than handling the cash, and it gives you a cornplele record
of how and where your money goes.
Do not keep your money at home or in your pocket, where
it may be lost, stolen, mislaid or burned. None of these
accidents may have ever happened to you, but they have to
others, and you may be the next.
No matter what bank or what town your cotton check
may be drawn on, we will cash it, or place it to yodr
credit, at lace value.
Capital, Surplus and Profits $95,000
