At This THE END OF the year 1911 it is essential that we we study conditions, compare j earnings and outgo, get at the NET earnings for the past twelve j months. And?study ways; and means to improve our financial condition for 1912. This is easy for the man who has banked his earnings with us and paid his bills by check. The stubs in his check book furnish him a handy, condensed yet complete record of his financial transactions for the year. A careful anaysis of this record will frequently show where one can cut expenses here and there ?making a considerable saving. A check account at this bank has many other advantages in addition to this very material one. If you are not banking your money, why not open an account with us NOW and handle your business matters in a safe, systematic manner? Bank of Williamsburg KIHGSTREE, S.

These jQ( holiday editions are nght expensive . and to "fall down" on issuing one ce would mean a ioss of about fifty co dollars to this office. Inadvertently we have heretofore omitted to mention the fact that Road Engineer and his family have 12 moved to town and are occupying ? Sheriff Graham's house on Jail street. We are glad to welcome these good people to town and we apologize both to them and the public for our i oversight in not announcing their ; arrival sooner.
