Hints To Farmers
Now is the time that you realize on
your season’s work.
As you sell your cotton, grain, stock
or produce, place your money on open
account with the National Bank.
Pay your bills by check, which makes
the best kind of a receipt, and avoid
the worry and danger attending the
carrying of large sums of money.
Our officers are always at the dis
posal of our customers and country
friends.
