In our business, shows that more people are still opening
accounts with us. We are daily adding new names to
our already long list of depositors. They have found that
the road to wealth is by way of the bank account; and
that we, by our uniformly conservative methods, our cur- <-
teous treatment of our customers have proven that this is
the place to open that account.

THAT POLL TAX RECEIPT.-

More than half the^poll taxes are yet

wait ’till the last day, the rush may
be so great,-that the Collector and his
entire force may be unable to write re-
ceipts fast enough t6 supply the de-
mand, and you might not get your re-
ceipt. Be on t^ie safe side; pay now
and avoid #the rush.

AHELTH OFFICER’S NOTICE.
In view of the epidemic of meningi-
tis now existing In different parts of
the state, and in keeping with ad-
vices from the best authority on this
subject, I deem it advisable to re-
quest a general clean up of both ttSwn
and county.
All puMic buildings should be clean-
ed and fumigated, and a general clean
up of the entire should be at once at-
tended to.
There is no disease that we dread
more than meningitis, .and while we
haven’t any cases here at present,
many of our sister towns but a few
miles away are suffering to a greater
or less degree. - ■ \ -
A little activity on the part of those
in authority might save a life or
many lives ,and it is certainly worth
the timp and expense used in our at-
tempt at prevention.

County Health Officer.
We had a pleasant chat with Dr. M.
O. Binghaip yesterday, and he told
us of an amusing incident that occur-
red at the hbme of R. E. Bertram. Dr.
Bingham was there administering to
a sick horse. Will Bertram was pres-
ent, and-when the blue norther swept
down from the northwest ,W111 sight-
ed it first. He hailed Bingham’s at-
tention to it in alarm; said he never
saw anything like that before, and,
then, without apology or explanation,
made for the storm house at full
speed. Dr. Bihgham says he realises
that a cyclone travels fast, bat after
witnessing Will's sprint yesterday
morning, he is fully satisfied that a
cyclone will never catch Will Ber-
tram—if Will sees it coming.
Mrs. L. E. Pitchford has returned to
her home at Dallas after a pleasant
