A great, grand, good, glorious
rain fell in Deport country last
Saturday morning, which soaked
the parched, thirsty earth, and
spoiled one of the finest nnbbin
crops we have ever bad. It be-
gan falling about one o’clock in
the morning, and continued near-
ly all day. Everybody was de-
lighted with it, and altho it kept a
crowd away from town, there
there was not a complaint heard
among the merchants. The
crowd came to town Moqday in-
stead. By ten o’clock both sides
of Mt.in street were lined with
automobiles. If we were a word
painter, our typewriter would
grind out the finest tribute we
could possibly pay to “rain."

The Real Bank
la the spirit that animates the
institution
Financial resources, buildings, fixtures, equip*
mcnt — all these things—are, after .all, the mere
tools with which the bank works.
A real understanding of the customer’s needs;
an earnert desire to co*operate with him in every
ligitimate way; a realization of public responsi-
bility—these constitute the BANK. Every-
thing else is secondary.
The spirit that animates this bank is
the ground upon which we invite your
account.
