UTIRSTVEACH MONTH] Your bills come due on the first of each month, and you have your choice of two ways of paying them. You can trudge around from Store to store and from dealer to dealer, with a pocket full of small change and consume a lot of valuable time, or you can sit quietly in your office or home and in a few minutes write out a check covering the exact amount of each bill, which two cents will carry to the merchant. By the latter method you avoid all risks of losing your money or having it stolen and the canceled check which we return to you, after paying it, is a perfect receipt for pay ment. Make a deposit with this bank and use the checking account for one month. You will never go back to the old way aga'i . J. N. Lipscomb, R. M. Wilkins, W. C. Hamrick, R. A. Jones, * DIRECTORS T. E.

Bridge* per Notice to the Public! On and after September 1st, UH)7, I will sell no more bread or bread tickets on credit. Mv reasons lor establishing a cash basis are too numerous to men tion, however, will mention a few: First. The material from which bread is made is bought strictly for cash, and must he sold accordingly. Second. Bread is sold for too small a margin to pay for carrying an entry through the number of books it must go when charged. Last, but not least, purchas ers of tickets frequently rec<. ; 7e bread from the driver without giving him a ticket, as they are not convenient, and when hills are presented they are under the impression that tickets have been given in exchange and unpleasant feelings are caused when such bills are presented to both purchaser and collector. I trust you will thoroughly understand my position and realize it is to the best interest of both purchasers and myself that I establish a cash basis, and always send cash when you want tickets or bread, and I shall continue to strive to de serve your patronage.
