THE ECONOMIC STRENGTH
OF OUR COMMUNITY
Banks are a part of the economic blood
and sinew of all community life. Without
banks commerce and industry could not
carry on, nor contribute to the economic
welfare of the people.
In times of prosperity unusual demands
upon financial institutions are few; there-
fore their stability is considered a matter of
fact But when conditions drop to normal
or below—'tis then the fundamental sound-
ness and foundation strength of a bank is
tested.
This institution was built upon solid
rock and built to stand the test of both good
times and bad times. Make this bank your
bank.

On Tuesday, April 12th, Su-
perintendent J. J. Compton
took his American History
class and spent several hours
inside the famous old battle-
ground of Mansfield, Louisiana.
On the way* Mr. Compton stop-
ped to see an old friend of his,
Mr. i, E. Hewitt, publisher of
the Mansfield Enterprise, who
gave him a map of this hal-
lowed spot, one for each mem- j detail, added greatly to!

to come out to the Battle Park ^ history class is deeply grate-

with enthusiasm and vivid
memories of that day sixty-
eight years ago, April 8th. de-
tailed to an eager group of
young students the scenes and
events of that battle, just as
he, a lad of thirteen at that
time, saw them as they occur-
red.
This was a battle in which
many East Texans took part
many from Shelby county, and
quite a number of Timpson
country citizens also. This was
the last great battle of the
war in which the South was
successful, said Mr. Hewitt,
the Confederates capturing
quite a number of pieces of ar-
tillery and twenty-six hundred
prisoners. He took great pains
to show the class the exact
location of each army and
many other incidents and
strange episodes of the battle.
All the entire group of South-
ern officers were shot down
during the fearful charge when
