|\\ A PROSPEROUS YEAR.
' v Splendid Showing of Bank of Kingsfree
af Annual Meeting Held last Week.
The Bank of Kingstree, the
pioneer bank of Williamsburg
county, held its 8th annual
meeting on January 5. The
usual dividend of 8 per cent
was declared, besides which
$d,0(K> was passed to the surplus
fund, and a substantia)
sum left as undivided profits.
The Bank of Kingstree during
its eight years of existence has
never failed to pay a dividend
of 8 per cent, to the stock-holders
and as an active factor in
the development of Kingstree
and Williamsburg county its
influence cannot be estimated.
The past year, taking all
things into consideration, has
been the most prosperous one
in the history of this institution,
the report tor the year showing
jfU deposits of $260,000 and resources
$360,000, as compared
with $140,000 deposits and
$315,000 resources one year ago.
The bank now carries a surplus
of $15,000, besides the undivided
profits, which is certainly an
admirable showing lor an inj
stitution with a capital stock
/" of $30,000.
a The same board of directors
M , and officers, under whose wise
.Eii and conservative management
8 the bank has prospered so well,
was unanimously re-elected.
The directors are: D C Scott,
^ J A Kelley, R H Kellahan and
Jp?. J F Cooper. The officers: D
CScott, president; J A Kelley,
vice president; F W Fairev,
cashier; N D Lesesne, assistant
cashier; Kelley & Hinds, attorneys.

a success in a business wav as

| profit by what may be said and
done on this occasion. We are

' will learn each year by experimenting
in farming and can be
' greatly benefited by hearing the
views and experiences of men
older and wiser than we in
scientific agriculture, hence we
hope to see the 25th day of Jan
i uary the people generally turr

be benefited, bringing well filled
baskets. Let's have a day foi
