--—I\ID you know that the Federal Reserve Bank ofDallas, Texas, is now in active operation, and yon* know this Federal bank was organized hy the
** Government for only banks to do business with, so they could discount thei r customer’s notes, (which is expected of the banks by the government)
and be in a position to help the community as much as possible; and do you know the best and most successful bankers in Texas today have borrowed
• money and discounted their customer’s notes during the year, and the largest and most successful banks m Texas now owe money, where they are
doing what they can to advance the interest of their community, which is expected of all banks? Did you know that the feature of the Texas Bank-
ing Law providing for Guaranty Fund to protect the depositors of State Banks which avail themselves of the Guaranty provision is novTin full effect
v and active operation. Depositors in Guaranty Fund banks have all the protection afforded by ordinary banks and the protection of Guaranty Fund,
besides. We cordially invite you to deposit your money in this bank where you know it is absolutely safe. Over 1,000 depositors have
over $150,000.00 on deposit with us. Won’t you increase this amouunt as the cotton crop is being marketed?

All the trustees were present

Superintendent E. B. Stover
was instructed to make the fol-
lowing changes in the assign-
ments of teachers: Miss Bessie
Robinson resigned as teacher of
the third grade and was succeed-
ed by Miss Eloise Setzer, teacher
of history, and Mrs. R. H. Wal-
drop was employed as history
teacher.
The committee on Buildings
and Repairs was authorized to
investigate the matter of sewer

being no further business the
meeting adjourned.
Revenue Stamps At Postoffice.
Our accommodating postmas-
ter, J. E. Woods, has at some
expense and troublqjo are sure,
made preparation to supply the
public with revenue stamps in
the different denominations. He
has provided no extra help for
the handling of the stamps, and
gets absolutely nothing for this
accommodation to the public,
hence the stamps will not be
sold in less than full sheets.
Those of one cent denomination
are made in sheets of fifty and
those of higher denominations
will of course range up to much
higher prices per sheet.
The postmaster is one of a
very few indeed who would
bear the expense and trouble to
handle these stamps solely for
the accommodation of the public.
Purchasers should bear in mind
that sheets of stamps will not be
broken and not harass the post-
office employes with simple
questions regarding the purchase
of stamps. Postmaster Woods
deserves much credit for his
kindness in this regard, and the
arangement will be greatly
appreciated by the public.

CITY’S WATER
SUPPLY INCREASED
The lbng cherished h ope of an
adequate water supply for the
city of Teague is at last a reality.
Messrs. Layne & Bowler of Hous-
ton, who began work on a dejjp
well at the city pump station in
April, 1914, under a contract
with the city council, finished
their second well and made the
final tests this week.
The contract stipulates that
for a price of $3,992.00 the dril-
lers were to guarantee the city
200,000 gallons of water per day
and it was left to their option as
to where they would drill the
well, so it was accessible to the
city’s power plant at the old well,
and as to how many wells they
would drill to get the required
amount of water.
They began work on the first
well in April last year. After
several monts of work a test
was made and it was found that
the well would not produce suffi-
cient water to comply with the
terms of the contract. Then

work was begun on another well.
Much unexpected trouble was
experienced by the drillers on
both wells and it is stated by
the contractors that the two
wells delivered to the city cost
them more than twice the
amount of the contract.
However, the mayor and coun-
cil went out to the pump station
Tuesday and accepted the well
and paid the contractors the
price agreed, which is $3,992.00.
The contractors guarantee the
production of 200,000 per day
from the new well, and made
bond to the city in the amount
of the contract.
The recent test indicates that
the three wells will produce near
550,000 gallons per day.
Mayor Looney says that within
thirty days the new wells will be
in operation.
